F1 Title @ 40: No one has done it In 59 years. Can Hamilton do it?
Lewis Hamilton isn’t about to let age stop him pursuing an historic eighth Formula 1 title with his new team Ferrari. An eighth world title would be an all-time record but winning after turning 40 has been a challenge for even the greatest drivers in F1 history. No driver has won a race past the age of 40 since 1994, and there’s hasn’t been a 40-plus world champion in 59 years. Hamilton told Time last month he rejects comparisons with older drivers “past or present.” He added: “I’m hungry, driven, don’t have a wife and kids. I’m focused on one thing, and that’s winning.” The 2025 season starts next week in Melbourne, Australia. Here’s a look at the successes and failures of F1 greats after reaching the age of 40:
