Among his contemporaries, Hamilton has equalled Fernando Alonso on two championships, with Sebastian Vettel ahead on four and very much a target.
The numbers, though, are not hugely relevant; Hamilton's qualities have been plain for years. Hardly anyone in Formula 1 doubts that Hamilton and Alonso are the two greatest drivers of their generation - least of all the two men themselves, who have long believed each other to be their only true rival in terms of ability.
Whatever happens in the remainder of their careers, both will be remembered as all-time greats, men whose skill-sets - subtly different though they are - set them apart from the rest, and on a level few drivers ever attain.
