Hate him or love him, but no deny that he is one of the all time greatest.

And then there is Palmer who claimed his 100 last position in the British Grand Prix.



Palmer: it's not every day you can beat Maldonado's record.

[dazburnside]

Senna for sure would have extended that pole count if he never crashed at imola

[markcrawford]

Who is watching this after Hamilton has over 80 poles

[rferrerf]

What an epic video guys, congrats and thanks for your awesome work! ;D

[jogabonito]

wow. so many hamilton haters discrediting him for being in a fast car. "stroll and badoer would be fast too, etc. etc." yet bottas was more than 2 seconds slower in the exact same car. besides, he only had the fastest car for about maybe 1/3 of his career? during the years of red bull dominance, hamilton still managed to claim poles and win races. hardly a walk in the park for him to achieve this amazing record.

I cannot think of any driver deserve more than Hamilton does. Everybody talks about how he push the car to its limits over a lap pace. He's super quick. Well done champ
