The Long Version
McLaren signed him to its young driver programme at 13 and put him in a race seat in 2007, where he finished a point off the title as a rookie.
He won the 2008 championship at the last corner in São Paulo.
A move to the then-midfield Mercedes team for 2013 preceded six titles in eight hybrid-era seasons.
He joined Ferrari for 2025, the fourth marquee identity of his career.
Where Those Teams Went
McLaren Formula 1 Team3 identities
Founded by a driver, saved by a merger, and rebuilt three separate times into a championship machine.
Mercedes-AMG Petronas5 identities
The most-renamed championship team in the sport: Tyrrell became BAR, then Honda, then Brawn, then Mercedes — all at the same Brackley factory.
