Driver No.44 Necklace

2016 was another dominant year for Mercedes, as the team secured their third consecutive Constructors’ Championship and continued to set the standard in the hybrid era. Lewis Hamilton delivered 10 wins over the season, more than anyone else on the grid, including standout drives in Montreal and Silverstone where he controlled the race from the front in dominant style

Rather than a single storyline, the year played out as a tight internal battle with teammate Nico Rosberg, shaped by race starts, reliability swings, and small margins that often decided race wins between them. Even in the moments that didn’t go his way, Hamilton’s raw pace and ability to turn weekends around kept him firmly in the fight all season.

The fight went all the way to Abu Dhabi, where Rosberg ultimately secured the Drivers’ Championship by just five points, but Hamilton’s performance levels throughout the season reinforced his status as one of the defining drivers of the era.
