Lewis Hamilton achieved a historic milestone last weekend at the São Paulo Grand Prix, becoming only the second driver in Formula 1 history to reach 400 grand prix starts.

The Ferrari racer joins Fernando Alonso, who became the first driver to reach the mark in 2024 while competing for Aston Martin, according to Yahoo Sports.

To celebrate the career achievement, Topps released a limited edition trading card as part of its 2026 Formula 1 Topps NOW series.

The collectible, listed as number 76, is available for purchase on the company website for $11.99, per the Yahoo Sports report.

Topps announced the initiative on Instagram, stating, “Lewis Hamilton becomes only the second driver to start 400 grands prix in F1. Mark the moment with Topps NOW.”

Unlike traditional trading card sets, these items are produced to order, with the final print count determined only after the sales window concludes.

Hamilton entered the São Paulo race facing a power unit penalty that forced him to start from the back of the grid.

Despite the setback, the seven-time champion managed to gain 11 positions during the event, ultimately finishing the race in ninth place while one lap down.

Reflecting on his journey, the driver spoke to the F1 TV broadcast about his family roots in the sport.

He noted, “It is really crazy, when you think of where we started as a family, the countless hours that my dad and Linda put into my racing, with that dream of coming here,” as reported by Yahoo Sports.

Hamilton also took time to look back at his history at the circuit, where he secured his first world championship title years prior.

The driver expressed his appreciation for the venue, stating, “I remember winning my first world championship here,” according to the Yahoo Sports coverage.

The milestone serves as a testament to the longevity of the veteran driver’s career as he continues to compete at the highest level of motorsport.

Fans have been invited to commemorate the occasion through the available Topps series release.
