Before switching to Mercedes in 2013 and becoming one of the most successful drivers in Formula 1 history, Lewis Hamilton kicked off his F1 career with McLaren where he won his first world title and, apparently, helped finesse the company’s road cars.
Hamilton joined the Woking-based team in 2007 and won his first F1 race with Mclaren later that year. The following season, he went on to claim his first world title by just a single point, but his time at the team wasn’t all racing and simulator work. Hamilton also had a role assisting McLaren’s road car division, specifically on the development of the MP4-12C supercar.
