Formula One
2010-2011: McLaren
By 2010, Hamilton had established himself at Vodafone McLaren Mercedes and was one half of the all-British super team of himself and Jenson Button. With the new two race format introduced in 2010, Hamilton thrived in the more "sprint-like" style of the races, allowing him to pick up eight wins over the course of the season. Unfortunately for Hamilton, he would be unable to mount a serious challenge to Mercedes driver Daniel Melrose and would finish the year in second place.
The following season, Hamilton remained for another year at McLaren and was joined by Canadian prospect Robert Wickens after Button opted to join rivals Red Bull. The MP4-26 was no way as strong as the previous year's car, and as such Hamilton struggled for most of the year - picking up only three wins on his way to sixth place in the championship.
