Lewis Hamilton believes he can make Formula One history as the first driver to win a race after reaching the milestone of 300 grand prix starts.

The seven-time world champion, who has a record 103 wins, will become only the sixth driver to make 300 starts when he lines up on the grid in France on Sunday.

Finland's Kimi Raikkonen bowed out last year after a record 349 races, but was without a win since 2018, while it has been nearly a decade since Spaniard Fernando Alonso (344), who is still active, last won.
