Lewis Hamilton on Winning Again

Sir Lewis Hamilton is suddenly on a hot streak. In early July, the seven-time Formula 1 champion won the British Grand Prix for the ninth time, setting a record for the most victories by a driver at a single circuit. It was just the latest milestone for the thirty-nine-year-old Hamilton, who has won more races and finished on the podium more times than any other Formula 1 driver in the history of the competition. But the win in England was his first in more than two years. He followed it up by finishing on the podium in third at the Hungarian Grand Prix in Budapest a couple weeks later. And then a week after that, Hamilton, who was knighted a few years ago, notched another victory at the Belgian Grand Prix (after his teammate George Russell was disqualified post-race when his car was found to be underweight).
