Lewis Hamilton has once again etched his name deeper into Formula 1 history books, becoming the first and only driver ever to surpass 5,000 career points in the sport. The record-breaking milestone came during the latest Grand Prix weekend, underlining the Mercedes legend’s unparalleled consistency and longevity across nearly two decades in the sport.
Hamilton, who made his F1 debut in 2007, has achieved this feat through a blend of extraordinary talent, strategic brilliance, and an unmatched hunger for success. His points total reflects not only his race victories a record 103 but also his remarkable ability to extract maximum results even when not winning. The seven-time world champion’s relentless pursuit of excellence has kept him competitive through multiple eras, from V8 engines to the current hybrid era.
This new benchmark also highlights Hamilton’s dominance in the turbo-hybrid era, where he amassed the majority of his points driving for Mercedes. Despite fierce competition from the likes of Max Verstappen, Fernando Alonso, and Sebastian Vettel, Hamilton has continued to stand tall as one of the sport’s most consistent performers.
Speaking after the race, Hamilton described the achievement as “a testament to years of hard work, dedication, and the incredible teams I’ve worked with.” He also thanked his fans and Mercedes for their unwavering support throughout his career.
While Formula 1’s scoring system has evolved over the decades, Hamilton’s 5,000-plus points remain a monumental indicator of sustained excellence. It’s a record that may stand for years — and one that further cements his legacy as one of the greatest drivers in F1 history.
Once again, Lewis Hamilton proves that greatness isn’t just about winning races it’s about rewriting what’s possible.
