Here's How Lewis Hamilton Can Clinch The Formula One Driver Championship This Weekend-August 2024

Lewis Hamilton during Japanese Grand Prix weekend.

There are currently in the Formula One race season, with the next up being the Mexican Grand Prix on Sunday. But that’s not the only thing on the calendar, since having four races left means it’s about time we start discussing clinch scenarios for .

Given that Mercedes has for the year, if Hamilton wins the driver title this weekend, the next three grands prix—including the U.S. one, which is right after the race in Mexico—will just be a trip to the amusement park for Hamilton and the No. 44 car.

So, yeah, Lewis, if you do win the title in Mexico and would like to sub the car out at Circuit of The Americas with no points consequences, I know someone who’s driven a car before. The name starts with “A” and ends with “lanis,” or something like that, and I hear she’ll be at the track that weekend anyway.

You know, if you need anybody to step in. Just if.
