Hamilton marks 400th race in honorary home of Brazil

Sao Paulo: Lewis Hamilton will begin his 400th Formula One race this weekend at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, according to wire service reports. The 41-year-old British driver, who holds the record for the most race wins and pole positions in F1 history, will compete at the front of the pack and shows no signs of slowing down. Hamilton, who has been driving for seven years with McLaren, Mercedes, and now Ferrari, told reporters that he still feels young and maintains his pace, speed, dedication, and focus.

Hamilton is currently third in the championship, two points behind Red Bull's Max Verstappen, and has claimed his record-extending 105th pole position in Mexico. While the milestone itself is not particularly significant to him, Hamilton believes reaching it in Brazil carries extra weight, as the country views him with immense popularity, having been granted honorary citizenship in 2022.
