Lewis Hamilton is set to face his toughest challenge across his 18-year F1 career as he embarks on what could be an era-defining season at Ferrari . The sporting legend was just 22-years-old when he joined McLaren in 2007 and it was in his first F1 race when he placed P3 following his team-mate Fernando Alonso in P2.

Seven-time F1 world champion would love nothing more than to bring the F1 Drivers' Championship back to Ferrari.

Michael Schumacher voiced his opposition in 2009 when the FIA introduced a rule change to determine the F1 champion based on wins rather than the points system. This rule, if enforced, could have altered the fate of champions like Lewis Hamilton.
