Why this leaning score
This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.

He's tied with Michael Schumacher for the most championships with seven, and many would - and do - argue he should have eight, given the controversy of the mishandled final race of the 2021 season. Greatness as an F1 driver is about more than raw statistics, but even so Hamilton has consistently proved to be at the very highest level, with a series of outstanding drives in races that will go down in history as some of the greatest ever. Examples of those would be the 2008 British Grand Prix and the 2021 Brazilian Grand Prix, along with many others.
