After getting to within 0.3s at one point, Wilkins held on as Wickens from the pits in his wheelchair. Hyundai Elantra N Hand Controls enable Robert Wickens to utilize his throttle, brake and shifting inputs for his Elantra N TCR“So, to finally come through with a relatively clean race [feels amazing].

Could Hamilton Go 11 Races Without A Win For The First Time?FormulaNerds.com — Latest News — The most races Lewis Hamilton has gone in Formula 1 without winning is ten.

Formula_Nerds Definitely not Formula_Nerds Can't win shit without .5-1sec faster car Formula_Nerds He won in Abu Dhabi… But in all seriousness, amazing from Lewis. Car probably won’t be good enough to win on merit in Silverstone, but I find it hard to believe 15 years in a row never going more than 10 races before winning another race is a record that will be beaten.
