HAMILTON IS FORMULA 1’S OLDEST GRAND PRIX WINNER SINCE 1970

Lewis Hamilton just rewrote the F1 record books, becoming the oldest grand prix winner in over five decades with his victory at Circuit de Catalunya. At 41 years and 158 days, Hamilton scored his 106th career win, making him the seventh-oldest driver ever to top a world championship race. The last man to win at an older age was Jack Brabham, who took the 1970 South African Grand Prix at 43.

This also marks the first time since Nigel Mansell won the 1994 Australian Grand Prix that a driver in their forties has stood on the top step. Hamilton now joins an exclusive club of just ten drivers who have won a Grand Prix past their 40th birthday. While catching Luigi Fagioli's 53-year-old record seems a stretch, this performance solidifies Hamilton’s enduring elite status, proving age is just a number as he chases more wins and potentially a historic eighth title.
