It was a season in which he also set a new record for most wins of all time, eclipsing Schumacher’s tally in Portugal.Hamilton2.jpg accImages.createImage();Bottas often ran Hamilton close in qualifying but Hamilton was simply in a different league on race day, turning his Saturday deficit into victory at the Nurburgring and Imola with his superior race-craft and abilities in wheel-to-wheel combat coming to the fore.Notable highlights came in qualifying for both the Styrian and Belgian GP rounds, as well his methodical approach which resulted in a title-sealing wet weather masterclass in Turkey on a day in history when his Mercedes was not the fastest car on track.Rare errors at Monza and Sochi acted as minor blotches on what was an otherwise flawless campaign as Hamilton asserted his supremacy at the top. Worryingly for his rivals, neither his speed nor motivation is showing any signs of dropping.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); The top 10 F1 drivers of the 2020 season: 2 – MAX VERSTAPPENaccImages.createImage(); The top 10 F1 drivers of the 2020 season: 3 – SERGIO PEREZFull Top 20 rundown: 20 – Nicholas Latifi19 – Romain Grosjean18 – Sebastian Vettel17 – Kevin Magnussen16 – Antonio Giovinazzi15 – Daniil Kvyat14 – Kimi Raikkonen13 – Esteban Ocon12 – Lance Stroll11 – Alex Albon10 – Valtteri Bottas9 – Lando Norris8 – George Russell7 – Carlos Sainz6 – Pierre Gasly5 – Charles Leclerc4 – Daniel Ricciardo3 – Sergio Perez2 – Max Verstappen1 – Lewis Hamilton would like to wish all of its readers a Merry Christmas and festive period.Related ArticlesaccImages.createImage(); F1 in talks with Amazon over deal to stream races – reportaccImages.createImage(); Alfa Romeo problems ‘quite clear’ after F1 testing – Raikkonen
