Lewis Hamilton scored a hard-earned victory at the Turkish GP to seal his seventh F1 world title and equal Michael Schumacher’s record. Hamilton also surpassed Schumacher’s record for the most wins in F1.

“We dreamed of this when we were young and when I was young, when we were watching the Grands Prix, and this is way, way beyond our dreams. I think it’s so important for kids out there to hopefully see this and know don’t listen to anyway who says you can’t achieve something. Dream the impossible and speak it into insistence. You have to work for it, you have to chase it and never give up, and never doubt yourself,” said an emotional Hamilton after the race.

F1 will now kick off its Middle Eastern triple header, with the first of two races at Bahrain scheduled for November 26-29.
