Lewis Hamilton stands alone as Formula 1’s only driver to score points at every Grand Prix weekend this season
Lewis Hamilton has reached an impressive milestone during his second season with Ferrari. Following the latest round of the championship, the seven-time Formula 1 World Champion is now the only driver on the entire grid to have scored points for his team at every Grand Prix weekend this season.
In a campaign where even the leading contenders have experienced retirements, difficult weekends or missed opportunities, Lewis Hamilton has delivered remarkable consistency. Regardless of the circuit or the competitiveness of the SF-26, the British driver has always managed to add points to Ferrari’s tally.
A statistic that highlights consistency over outright pace
While victories and podium finishes often dominate the headlines, championships are frequently built on consistency. Scoring points every weekend requires not only speed but also strong race management, reliability, strategic execution and the ability to maximise results even when the car is not capable of fighting for victory.
That is exactly what Lewis Hamilton has achieved so far this season. Even during Ferrari’s more challenging weekends, he has consistently extracted valuable points, helping the Scuderia remain competitive in both championship battles.
The achievement becomes even more significant considering the level of competition in Formula 1. Every other driver on the grid has experienced at least one Grand Prix weekend without contributing points to their team’s total, leaving Lewis Hamilton as the only driver to maintain a perfect scoring record.
A strong start to life at Ferrari
Adapting to a new Formula 1 team is rarely straightforward, particularly after spending more than a decade with the same organisation. The Briton has had to learn Ferrari’s systems, build relationships with new engineers and adapt to the characteristics of the SF-26, all while competing at the highest level.
Despite those challenges, he has quickly established himself as one of Ferrari’s most reliable performers. His consistency has become one of the foundations of the Scuderia’s campaign, allowing the team to continue collecting valuable championship points throughout the season.
Building momentum for the rest of the season
With several races still to come, Lewis Hamilton’s perfect points streak underlines the experience and racecraft that have defined his Formula 1 career. It also demonstrates why Ferrari placed so much faith in the seven-time world champion when planning for both the present and the future.
If he can maintain this level of consistency while Ferrari continues to develop the SF-26, Lewis Hamilton could remain one of the most important factors in the battle for both the Drivers’ and Constructors’ Championships during the second half of the season.
