At Interlagos, Hamilton reaches race 400 and wants to win: 'The goal is to keep winning'
Lewis Hamilton will make his 400th Formula 1 start at Interlagos on 8 November and wants to mark the date by winning a fourth Brazilian Grand Prix. Third in the standings on 241 points, he needs to win Sunday’s Mexico GP (1) to delay Kimi Antonelli’s title.

Interlagos vai receber, em 8 de novembro, a corrida de número 400 de Lewis Hamilton na Fórmula 1. Só Fernando Alonso chegou lá antes. O britânico quer marcar a data do jeito mais difícil: vencendo, o que lhe daria o quarto triunfo no Brasil.
Antes disso, porém, tem o GP do México deste domingo (1º). Terceiro no mundial com 241 pontos, ele precisa ganhar na Cidade do México para adiar o título antecipado de Kimi Antonelli.
À Globo, o piloto da Ferrari lembrou a previsão que ouviu quando se aproximava da corrida 300.
"Lembro que houve uma época em que eu estava chegando à minha 300ª corrida e todo mundo dizia: 'Quando você chega à 300ª, nunca mais consegue vencer'. Mas eu consegui vencer algumas corridas depois da 300ª. Então, acho que meu objetivo agora é trabalhar para seguir ganhando após a minha 400ª corrida", contou.
A ligação com o país não se explica apenas pelos 18 GPs que já disputou aqui. Senna está entre os maiores ídolos dele, e o britânico carrega o título de cidadão brasileiro. Desta vez, lamentou o calendário apertado.
"Infelizmente, como o intervalo entre as corridas é curto, não vou conseguir viajar pelo Brasil, o que é uma pena. Mas estou ansioso para chegar a São Paulo. Será minha 400ª corrida, o que é meio absurdo!", afirmou.
Quando acelerar na pista paulista, será o segundo piloto da história a largar em 400 provas da categoria — atrás justamente de Alonso, que atingiu a marca em outubro de 2024.
