Lewis Hamilton's victory in Shanghai on Sunday afternoon was yet another special moment in the young Brits Formula One career. After the legendary Michael Schumacher, he is only the second driver in the history of the series to have won at least five times on three or more tracks.
The British driver has not only been in dominant form on the Shanghai International Circuit in recent years but also on the Circuit Gilles Villeneuve in Montreal and on the Hungaroring outside Budapest.
Shanghai has always been a happy hunting ground for Lewis, nor is it by any means a bad track for the Silver Arrows - the team has lifted the winner's trophy five times in the last six campaigns, including the last four years in a row. One statistical footnote: the 2017 Chinese Grand Prix was the 150th Formula One race contested by the Silver Arrows. What better way of celebrating this milestone than claiming a 75th pole position for the brand and a 65th victory for the team?
Incidentally, Lewis scored the 'Grand Slam' of pole position, lights-to-flag victory and fastest race lap in Shanghai, the third time he has done so in his career.
He is now up to eighth on the all-time leaderboard in this category, on level pegging with three-time world champion Nelson Piquet.
However, he still has a long way to go before he equals the record of Jim Clark - a daunting eight Grand Slams.
