It's a milestone weekend for Lewis Hamilton in Sao Paulo as he prepares for his 400th Grand Prix start. He will join a prety exclusive club of drivers who have reached that milestone, of which he will become just the second member after Fernando Alonso.
During his glittering career he has won seven world titles and 106 Grands Prix, stood on 209 podiums and taken 105 pole positions.
His longevity is best illustrated by the amount of time between the first time and the most recent time he achieved some of those feats.
His most recent win, in Barcelona earlier this year, came 19 years and four days after his maiden victory at the Canadian Grand Prix back in 2007.
Hamilton also holds the record for the longest pole position career in F1 history, with 19 years, four months and 22 days between his first, in qualifying for the 2007 Montreal race, and his most recent pole in Mexico last Saturday.
