## Resource

Twenty years ago, Lewis Hamilton sealed his GP2 title at Monza — a rookie season full of drama, disqualifications, and jaw-dropping comebacks that foreshadowed his F1 greatness. Reflecting with his current boss Fred Vasseur, who was team principal at ART Grand Prix back then, the episode reveals how McLaren nearly sabotaged his path before he stormed back with a dominant F3 campaign. Vasseur, who’d already crowned Nico Rosberg champion the year prior, saw Hamilton’s potential early — and history remembers Hamilton’s Istanbul redemption as the most stunning drive Vasseur’s ever witnessed. That 2006 season wasn’t just a stepping stone — it was the proving ground that launched Hamilton into F1 legend, and now, decades later, he’s back under Vasseur’s leadership at Ferrari, completing a full-circle moment in motorsport history.
