I woke up today to the saddest news of Chadwick passing away,” Hamilton said. Hamilton, the only black driver in F1, explained the impact both Chadwick and his film character had on him. Hamilton, who is chasing a seventh F1 title to equal Michael Schuamcher's record, leads the standings by 37 points over Verstappen and 43 over Bottas. Ferrari’s lack of form was such that Leclerc, who won last year from pole position, was happy to qualify in 13th.
