A few years ago, the Denver Broncos were open for business. the Pat Bowlen era was over, and the Broncos officially sold the team to the Walton-Penner ownership group. One member of the ownership group happens to be none other than one of the greatest athletes ever - Lewis Hamilton.
Hamilton is the greatest F1 driver ever, as he has the most world championships with seven, and the most wins ever, too. He has since opened up about his ownership with the Broncos and could be looking to invest in other venues . As for his 2024 season, it didn’t start great. In fact, it started terrible.
He was barely finishing races in the top 10 to start the year, but has since turned it around. On Sunday, he won his first race in two years, and it just so happened to be his home race in England. The win put him at the most wins ever at a single circuit with nine at Silverstone.
Hamilton struggled to get points at the beginning of the year, but is now firmly in the fight for a top 4 spot in the championship.
The way the point system works in F1 is as follows: drivers 1-10 get points, with first place getting 25, second getting 18, third getting 15, fourth getting 12, fifth getting 10, sixth getting 8, seventh getting 6, eighth getting 4, ninth getting 2, and 10th getting 1. Out of the top 10 drivers, if any of them get the fastest lap time during a race, they get an extra point.
This system rewards consistent performance and encourages drivers to push for the fastest lap, even if they are not in the top positions. It's a key factor in determining the overall standings and can make a significant difference in the outcome of a race or a season.
If Lewis can string together great races, the Broncos owner can find himself with another successful season at Mercedes before leaving for Ferrari.
