#1 - 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix: Hamilton clinches a special landmark, 50th career podium

Lewis Hamilton of Great Britain  and  Mercedes AMG Petronas...
Hamilton is clearly one of the greatest in motor-racing history

50 of Hamilton's massive 122 podium finishes would come by the time he was in the 2013 season, the seventh successive year of his running in F1 since 2007's debut.

If you were to note the sheer dominance of Lewis Hamilton, then perhaps running past the results until the start of the 2013 season and his results thereafter would tell a thing or two about this trailblazer.

So what does that tell us?

It reveals the massive dominance Lewis Hamilton has exerted in F1, where 72 of his 122 podiums came from 2013-onward while it took him 7 seasons to garner his first 50 podiums.

At the 2013 Malaysian Grand Prix, when Lewis clinched a vital P3, behind the Red Bulls of Vettel and Webber, he would complete a mighty yardstick of the greatness of a modern F1 driver- that of clinching a 50th career podium.

It must be noted that other prominent faces in motor-racing such as Massa have managed merely 41 while Button completed his career to boast of 50 career podiums. With form and age on his side, Hamilton's slated to conquer many more ahead.
