This was a year of negative firsts for Lewis Hamilton: the first Formula One season in which he didn’t win a single Grand Prix, didn’t score a single pole position and didn’t finish the championship inside the top five. For Hamilton, all those negative records mentioned above don’t seem to matter much, particularly enduring the first winless Formula One season on his 16th year in Grand Prix racing: “Honestly, it would have been nice to have a win, but one win is not really enough,is it? So, I feel like this year, when we got our first fifth, it felt like a win. I think when we started this year, in the meeting I felt something similar, but I didn’t know whether I was right or wrong.”. “He delivered as he had to, this year he’s delivered weekend in, weekend out and no one can take that away from him.
