Lewis Hamilton grabs seventh F1 Title after winning Turkish Grand Prix

British Racer Lewis Hamilton has won the Turkish Grand Prix and equaled Michael Schumacher’s record of seven Formula One championships.

With tears under the helmet, the excited voice of the Mercedes star could be heard over the radio moments after crossing the line at the Turkish Grand Prix. Moments after victory No. 94 and title No. 7, he sat in his car with his head in his hands.

“I am almost lost for words,” he said. “We dreamed of this when I was young. It is so important for kids to see this, and don’t listen to anyone who says you can’t achieve something. Dream the impossible. You have got to chase it and never give up.”
