Lewis Hamilton is determined to make history by securing a record-breaking eighth Formula 1 World Championship, despite the challenges that come with racing at the age of 40.

Hamilton, who is widely regarded as one of the sport’s greatest drivers, has already matched the record for most world titles with seven championships. 

However, his pursuit of an eighth title presents a unique challenge, as no driver has won a race beyond the age of 40 since 1994. 

While Hamilton's ambitions are bold, history suggests that few have successfully competed at the top level of Formula 1 after turning 40.
