In winning the Portuguese Grand Prix on Sunday Hamilton racked up his 92nd, and Wolff believes his driver’s achievements may not be fully appreciated until after he retires. Hamilton joined Mercedes in 2013, the same year as Wolff, and the pair have built a very close relationship. Hamilton recorded 21 of his wins for his first team, McLaren, but has 71 for Mercedes. Hamilton leads Valtteri Bottas by 77 points in the world championship and can secure the title in the next two races. After Hamilton won his sixth title last year, Hain wrote to Boris Johnson making the case for an upgrade on the MBE awarded to the British driver 12 years ago. Hain confirmed he intends to write a second letter to Downing Street when Hamilton secures his seventh title.
