Whenever we talk about Lewis Hamilton and the F1 Brazilian GP, the first race that comes to mind is the 2021 edition. The Mercedes driver was in an intense title fight and was disqualified after the Friday qualifying of the sprint weekend. The fact that he came back through the field and was leading the field by the time the chequered flag fell on Sunday sounds almost impossible.
Yet, Hamilton made that happen. In the years gone by, that race has been considered by many as one of the greatest drives. Is it true though?
Is Lewis Hamilton's win at the 2021 F1 Brazilian GP, one of the best drives of all time? There's reason to think that this performance might just be overrated.

The myth around the performance is that Lewis Hamilton was right at the back of the grid as he was disqualified after qualifying. Well, that's not true. Hamilton was disqualified after qualifying on Friday but since it was a sprint weekend, the grid for the race on Sunday was decided after the sprint on Saturday.
