Hamilton reveals how cramp left him in 'excruciating' pain on way to record 92nd victory

Lewis Hamilton stamped his name firmly on this era of Formula 1 by winning his 92nd Grand Prix and becoming the winningest F1 driver of all time in Portugal on Sunday. But the massive 25.5-second gap between him and runner-up Valtteri Bottas masked the sheer pain that Hamilton fought through to add another page to the record books.

Overcoming adversity has been a key theme in Hamilton’s career, from the steely grit of his father Anthony – there to witness this momentous win – who worked day and night to make Lewis’s dream a reality, to this win, number 92, which the six-time champion said was punctuated by pain.
