Stats Show Insane Domination By Lewis Hamilton And Sebastian Vettel In Defining F1 Era

In the recent history of the sport, there hardly has been a driver like Lewis Hamilton in Formula 1. The young boy from Stevenage started his journey with the most incredible rookie season. He built on that with seven world championships and, after all these years, is still one of the most fierce drivers on the grid.

The only modern driver who came close to Hamilton’s incredible haul of seven titles during his reign is Sebastian Vettel. The young German won four world championship titles before he turned 27. It’s safe to say these two incredibly talented drivers have dominated the era, beginning in 2007. To outline their dominance, apart from the championship titles, there is an interesting stat that hits the nail on its head.

The two world champions, Hamilton and Vettel, have shared the podium an incredible 56 times. This happens to be a record as no other pairing in the sport’s history has shared the podium as many times.

The tweet outlining the record, coupled with a video that will make you nostalgic. The fact that Sir Lewis Hamilton himself has liked this tweet tells you it’s worth your time.
