Mercedes AMG F1 posted on Instagram with “One year ago, @lewishamilton made history with his 100th @f1 win” caption.
Unfortunately, the 2022 season has been far from ideal for him as he is yet to pick up a win. Nevertheless, what he achieved so far is worthy of a throwback.
F1 fans react as Lewis Hamilton recalls his glory days
F1 fans took to Twitter to join Hamilton in recalling the moment no other driver has the good fortune for. They picked up “LH100” which signifies the memorable event.
