Na 88 of 122 dirk he has been in the lead at least once. Equally impressive is the reliability of his silver arrow. In the last six years, he has had to overcome only eight resignations. Some racers have resigned so many times in just one season. It is an extreme example Romain Grosjean, who resigned in 32 races in the same period.
The Hamiltons are also out of reach 15.512 leading kilometers in this era. Second place in this category occupies Sebastian Vettel with 7.240 kilometers - not even half the value of Hamilton. Logically, the same is true for leadership circles. Hamilton has 3.030 and Vettel only 1.421.
