On 10 June 2007, a significant aspect of F1 history was made in Montreal when a young Lewis Hamilton won his first race in the sport. Since then he has managed to win 102 more races at the pinnacle of motorsport along with 7 World Championships.

Back then, the McLaren driver was a rookie and had caught the eye of everyone with his driving performances. His first win in Canada was just the culmination of his consistent performances up till that point of the season.

“I’ve been ready for this for quite some time, ready for the win–it was just a matter of where and when. I have to dedicate this win to my dad–without him, this wouldn’t have been possible. The last few laps were just a case of counting them down and it really was just about enjoying it,” said Lewis after his first win.

To remind fans of Hamilton’s accomplishment in Montreal in 2007, Aston Martin Communications Chief Matt Bishop took to social media to declare the Mercedes driver as one of the all-time greats.

The responses from the fans were fairly positive as the fans agreed with Bishop’s assessment, but they did not agree with him calling Lewis “one of the very greatest we’ve ever seen.”

F1 fans took to social media to declare Lewis Hamilton the GOAT of F1

The British driver’s legions of fans replied to Bishop on his Twitter post. They mentioned that the Mercedes driver is not one of the all-time greats, but the greatest driver of all time. Hamilton‘s consistency throughout the years has really been impressive, as he won seven titles and most races in F1.

The Lewis Hamilton army took to social media to declare their driver as the GOAT in Formula One. They even mentioned that the records speak for themselves as they put him above Schumacher and Senna.

There are very few pieces of evidence to counter the claims of Hamilton being the greatest. But one can only judge fairly when the British driver stops racing altogether and calls it a day on his Formula One career.
