LEWIS HAMILTON has been crowned again, this time the 2014 champion has picked up the DHL Fastest Lap Award.
Hamilton amassed seven fastest laps during this year’s season, two more than his team mate Nico Rosberg.
The Stevenage born racer joins Kimi Raikkonen, Fernando Alonso, Mark Webber and Sebastian Vettel, who secured the trophy in previous years. Since 2007, the DHL Fastest Lap Award defines a new standard of speed, honouring the driver with the greatest number of fastest race laps during a FIA Formula One World Championship season.
“I am very proud to receive the DHL Fastest Lap Award after such a successful season for the whole of our Mercedes-Benz team,” Said Hamilton.
He added: “We have enjoyed an amazing season with our incredible Silver Arrows car and have broken some records on the way, too. We don’t get any extra points for fastest laps – but it’s always a proud moment when you see that you set the fastest time. I’m very proud to accept this fastest lap trophy.”
The DHL Fastest Lap 2014 Award was handed over by Ken Allen, Chief Executive Officer DHL Express. He said: “We are very proud to hand over the DHL Fastest Lap Award to Lewis Hamilton for the very first time. The fastest lap in a race is a special challenge and a result of speed, dedication, teamwork and experience. All these characteristics are very important to us as well.”
