Most people would not have thought Michael Schumacher‘s record would ever be matched, but destiny had other intentions. Lewis Hamilton began his long, brilliant career at the Australian Grand Prix, but it was at the Canadian GP that he first experienced victory. While life has once more taken the British driver to a circuit filled with memories, it is his brother who has stood out with a challenging remark.
Back in 2007, during his debut, Lewis Hamilton had obvious intentions of becoming one of the top F1 drivers. He demonstrated those to the world in the first 5 races of the season that he wasn’t there to live in the shadow of Fernando Alonso, a 2-time world champion. Still, the British prodigy had to wait until the race in Montreal to taste glory.
Hamilton, who was 22 set the fastest time on the starting grid to take the pole position for the 2007 Canadian GP. He held off Alonso at turn 1 and again on the inside line for turn 2 to take control of the race from the outset. Hamilton ultimately took the top spot on the podium for the first-place finish at the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve.

All of that effort paid off well for the winner. However, now 16 years later, Hamilton still has a chance to amaze everyone with his abilities. Before the FP3 in Montreal, the 7-time champion uploaded an Instagram post that brought a nostalgic flavor due to his picture from the 2007 race. In his post, he wrote, “Then and now ~ There’s just something about coming back to the place you won your first race. It always feels full circle. I can’t wait to fight this weekend. Can’t wait to make more Montreal memories.”
As usual, thousands of admirers were spotted encouraging the pilot to win his 104th race in the comment section. The admirers’ attention, however, was drawn by a really remarkable comment. Nicolas Hamilton was the one who was caught challenging his brother with a challenging remark for his brother.
Lewis Hamilton’s brother challenges him to make an unexpected turnaround
For Hamilton and his followers, the season has been nothing short of an emotional rollercoaster. Since the year has focused primarily on the 7-time champion contract and if he would be willing to race and extend its contract or not. And with all those theories, we have now reached round eight, where Lewis Hamilton and Co. might be feeling their highest level of vigour. Reason? The performance of Mercedes at the Spanish Grand Prix, where George Russell and Hamilton both finished on the podium, as well as the fact that the race is taking place in the shadow of ominous clouds.
Hamilton thus has a chance to win the race and make the tally of victories reach 104 which will eventually make the circuit more special. Everyone is rooting for Lewis to win, yet his brother’s stimulating comment more than anyone will inspire Hamilton. While we looked deeper into the comments, we found Nicolas Hamilton’s comments, where he wrote,“Such a memorable time and track for you bro! Time to make even more memories.”
The other reactions read as follows.
” On the hunt 🙌🙌.”
” Still remember 9 year old me buzzing when I witnessed the first win.”
“We are with you, let’s go champ 💪❤.”
” Damn man that touched me.”
” Let do it champ! Canada loves you man! We got this!.”
” You’re gonna nail this.”
