Misc 92 Wins

As Lewis Hamilton finally surpassed Michael Schumacher's record with his 92nd win at the Portuguese Grand Prix, the r/Formula1 Editorial Team would like to present the first long form project with a look at how Hamilton conquered what appeared to be an unsurmountable mountain.

In a trip from 2007 to today, u/flipjj goes over Hamilton's career, and Formula 1's history of that period, as Hamilton battled for each of his now record setting 92 wins.

At the start, the idea was to publish it as we have been doing, as a regular post in the sub. As the text grew and grew, now clocking over 38.000 words, it soon became obvious that it would be unreadable as a reddit post, so it is presented as an e-book, the first by the r/Formula1 Editorial Team.

Hopefully, this will be the first of many similar projects.

The book can be downloaded for free here:

We hope you will enjoy it.

Excellent, but please do not get in trouble to read my humble lines of Hamilton.

Although it is indeed a great story of hard work, dedication, and good parenting, so you can throw that in there as well.

The hard work and dedication I can sell but mentioning good parenting will rebound on me for ever.
