On his birthday, fans of Lewis Hamilton flocked to social media to declare him an eight-time world champion in Formula One. Today, Sunday, January 7, is the Brit’s 39th birthday. Both his devoted followers and others in the sports world have sent him innumerable good wishes.
Max Verstappen continued to rule the sport and overtake the rest of the grid, but the Mercedes star had a lackluster season in 2018. Although there is hope elsewhere that his competitors may catch up to the 26-year-old, the Red Bull star is seeking to win his fourth straight Drivers’ World Championship this year.
Among those hoping to contend for the title—which would be his ninth of his career—is Hamilton. On the other hand, his supporters are adamant that the issue in Abu Dhabi in 2021 is what caused him to win eight titles already.
A lot of fans humorously corrected a Sunday morning tweet from Mercedes that said, “He’s a 7x World Champion.” A catalyst for change and a game changer. He is a member of the nobility. Cheers to Sir Lewis Hamilton’s birthday.
