There are few words to describe what Mercedes and Lewis Hamilton are doing in F1 but utter domination. If Valtteri Bottas had not done the fastest lap of the race, Hamilton would have positioned himself just one short from Jim Clark’s eight Grand Slams in F1, a record that has stood since 1965.
The 2020 Spanish Grand Prix was Lewis Hamilton’s 88th victory of his Formula One career, his fourth of the 2020 season and fifth at the Spanish GP. Also on lap 23 of the race, the Mercedes F1 Team reached 25,000 laps raced in F1, and on lap 37, Kimi Raikkonen broke the record for longest distance covered in Grand Prix racing (83,847km), and by the end of the Grand Prix, the record for most laps in F1 history (16,845). No one has raced farther than the Iceman!
With his 7th place, Sebastian Vettel became only the second driver in history to surpass the 3,000 points mark with a tally of 3,001.
