Hamilton equals Schumacher's record of championship wins
Lewis Hamilton
Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton won the Turkish Grand Prix, his 10th victory of the season, to secure the seventh drivers' title of his career and equal the record of Michael Schumacher
Istanbul: Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton won the Turkish Grand Prix, his 10th victory of the season, to secure the seventh drivers' title of his career and equal the record of Michael Schumacher.
Racing Point's Sergio Perez and Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari finished second and third, respectively.
The Briton had started the race sixth, risen to third midway through the first lap and then dropped back to sixth by the end of Lap 1. However, a decision to change his intermediate tyres just once saw Hamilton drive through to a victory by over 25 seconds over Perez.
Hamilton, who now has clinched 94 Formula One races, won his first championship in 2008 and followed it up with championship wins in 2014, 2015, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.
Finland's Valtteri Bottas, Hamilton's fellow Mercedes driver, and the only man who could have stopped Hamilton from winning the title on Sunday, spun four times and ended with a 14th-place finish.
Hamilton now has 307 points while his nearest competitor Valtteri Bottas is way behind in second place with 197 points.
