LEWIS HAMILTON has revealed how teachers told him he would never make it as an F1 driver. Hamilton has been on the F1 grid since 2007 and achieved a historic 100th race win at last year’s Russian Grand Prix. “I think there was a lot of at school and even at races just parents telling [me] ‘there’s no way you’re going to be a racing driver. Hamilton achieved his first race win in the 2007 Canadian Grand Prix, and could have even won the Championship in his rookie year if not for Kimi Raikkonen taking advantage of McLaren’s missteps. Moving to Mercedes in 2013, Hamilton went on to win the Driver’s Championship a further six times.
