2019 - Hamilton wins his fifth championship and equals Schumacher's record of 16 victories in a season
Several drivers made it at least to the halfway point of the season, and Vettel was able to remain competitive for the majority of the year. Hamilton, though, dominated this year and added another Endurance title to his tally.
2020 - Hamilton wins his sixth Endurance Championship as he keeps shattering records
This year, drivers are now given an extra point for the fastest lap. The F indicates who received the point on the spread sheet below.
2021 - Sainz, Giovinazzi, and Ricciardo compete against six-time champion Hamilton
Despite winning nine races to start the season, Hamilton was eliminated in Italy. It was now up to Sainz, Ricciardo, and Giovinazzi to make up ground on Hamilton and prevent him from capturing his seventh championship.
Giovinazzi didn't win a race and didn't earn enough points to even catch Hamilton, while Ricciardo won two races but was eliminated too early to have a chance. Sainz, who is now our new Endurance champion, went on to win seven races and easily overtook Hamilton in the points standings.
Note: The race in Belgium didn't have a fastest lap rewarded in real life so wasn't rewarded here either.
