Lewis Hamilton is one of the most well-known personalities in the world of motorsport. With seven world titles to his name, the 39-year-old is often seen as one of, if not the greatest driver of all time.

Will Smith has deemed Hamilton as his choice for an impressive outing around the streets of Baku. Hamilton will, however, start the race in P7 after a dismal qualifying session ended his hopes of snatching the pole position.

Hamilton has failed to get to grips with the W15 ever since the resumption of Formula 1 after the summer break. He will therefore look to make the most out of his start in order to quickly make up places during the 51-lap Azerbaijan GP.
