Lewis Hamilton's extraordinary F1 turnar...

THE RACE MEDIA LTD
About this episode

With a revitalised Lewis Hamilton still basking in the glory of his first Ferrari grand prix win, we explain how the Briton has been able to turn his fortunes around so spectacularly after last year’s struggles.


Edd Straw is joined by Mark Hughes and Scott Mitchell-Malm for an in-depth look at the seven-time world champion, and the changes that have been made off-track and on to enable him to re-find his form.


Edd, Mark and Scott also speculate what the recent success means for Hamilton's future, and look at the reasons why the 41-year-old's revitalised form has coincided with a slight dip for his team-mate Charles Leclerc.
