From the beginning of the season, Lewis Hamilton keeps the pace that place him on the top of 2017 Formula 1 World Championship. The British driver from team Mercedes is the only driver on the current grid who has finished each of the Grand Prix, scoring 306 units as leader on the classification. Meanwhile last week in Japan, Hamilton got his eighth victory of the year, keeping a 59-unit advantage over his closest opponent, Ferrari’s German driver, Sebastian Vettel, with four more races to go and 100 points to be divided still for the current season. Vettel had control over the World Championship since the first race, held in Australia until the 13th date at Formula 1 Italian Grand Prix where he handed the general leadership over Hamilton, winner at Monza’s mythic track. The German driver four-time world champion aims to break Ferrari’s bad streak, who has not won a world title ever since the Finnish Kimi Räikkönen got it in 2007. Last Sunday at the Japanese circuit in Suzuka, Hamilton got his fourth victory, i the last five races, having gotten eight in the year and becoming the favorite to win his fourth world championship in 2017. Lewis hasn’t even known what a drop-out is during the season and has finished within the first 10 finalists on each of the 16 tests during the current season; while in Japan Vettel experienced his second drop-out of the season added to the one he had suffered at the night race in Singapore. Besides Hamilton and Vettel, the Finish, Valtteri Bottas, teammate of the British driver in Mercedes is now the third driver with the greatest mathematical possibilities of becoming the world leader. Bottas is racing his first season as a part of “The Silver Arrows” achieving his first two victories (Russia and Austria) in the top category. The 28-year Finnish is 76 points away from Hamilton, and only one drop-out in the year, having recorded only one power unit failure on his racing car in Spain. Esteban Ocon, has been also a big surprise, for the French guy from Force India has seen the checkered flag in all his races of the season, except in Monaco where he finished in 12th position without entering a score. Sergio Pérez, from Force India and Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo have been also in between the first ten positions constantly and have finished without scoring on three different dates. The Mexican driver is in the seventh place of the chart, with 82 units, as for the Australian, he has taken the world fourth position with 192 points. Räikkönen, fifth place of the World Championship having scored 148 points, keeps up the fight for the world title, with four podiums in the year for Ferrari, although his name was not seen only on four tests’ lists in which units were granted. Hamilton has the fourth world title on his hands, in a season which is about to confirm that constancy has been the main key thanks to Mercedes W08 model’s high reliability.
