Lewis Hamilton is now and officially the Formula 1 driver with most trophies. He continues to write the history, not only on the track, but also off of it. When he equaled the standing record for number of world titles, which many thought would never be touched, Lewis showed that nothing it truly impossible in this world. It was a dark year for everyone, but especially for people like him who take up social justice causes and fight for them persistently. Because of that, this title may just be more special than any other.

- Hamilton, who reportedly earned £40 million (approximately $53.5 million) in 2019, is believed to be negotiating a new, three-year contract with Mercedes F1 worth £120 million.
