He would probably prefer to be at the top of the list at the award ceremony on Sunday.
Hamilton has won at least one race every season since debuting in 2007. This year, the Mercedes driver is still waiting for the redeeming triumph. The 37-year-old was close at the last two races in Mexico and the USA, but ended up second behind world champion Max Verstappen in the Red Bull. Last year he celebrated an impressive victory in Sao Paolo after several attempts to catch up. “It was one of the best races of my life,” Hamilton said. Brazil, home of his idol Ayrton Senna, is “an important part of my own history,” he added, recalling 2008. “I won my first World Cup here.”
