**Lukas is the son of the famous racing driver Marvin Hanf, who was able to win 2 Formula One World Championships.**

**Lukas started his Formula One Career at the Australian Grand Prix in Season 10 at the BMW Motorsports team, and scored incredible 126 points, after his year with BMW Motorsports he was invited to return to McLaren by Martijn Huisman who started owning the tradiotional racing team.**

**Lukas was in the McLaren Drivers Academy, but was never given a chance before to race for McLaren, but after his great season with BMW Motorsports, he finally signed a deal with the McLaren team and was very excited for this big chance that he was being given.**

**Lukas immediatly won the Formula One Drivers Championship in his first year with McLaren very closely infront of Henk Schaaphok, who wasn't very happy about his attitude in his early career years, as Lukas seemed to be a little arrogant.**

**Lukas evolved on track, but also off-track, and started a charity-organization after his championship victory.**

**He continued to deliver amazingly in the McLaren the following-up season as was leading the Championship over multiple occasions in the season.**

**His rivalry with Henk Schaaphok really started to catch a huge fire that season, as they both really hated each other with passion but tried to keep it off-track.**

**But the drama didn't end like that, as Lukas had to pay 750.000$ to his team cause of a damage cheque, after crashing together with his team mate Faizal Mehrabi.**

**Despite the beef with Henk and his crash with Faizal, he won the championship once again closely infront of his team mate, as they were seperated by only a few points.**

**After his long journey with the McLaren team he moved on to sign with the Mercedes AMG Petronas team, as his father worked for the team as a major mechanic who was responsible for all car upgrades etc.**

**Lukas lost his first Formula One World Championship battle in the Mercedes AMG Petronas against William Huisman in the Ferrari in Season 15, but defeated him the following year by scoring 190 points, becoming a 3-time Formula One World Champion.**

**After staying with the Mercedes team for 2 years, he once again decided to leave his team to pursue a career at a whole new challenge.**

**Lukas signed with Henk Schaaphok's racing team ARA Motorsports to proof that the team is indeed capable of winning a Championship in the racing sport.**

**And as he told Lukas became the second driver ever in a ARA Motorsports car to win the Drivers Championship, closely infront of his team mate Alen Kopic, who won the Championship 4 years earlier.**

**Lukas was now very close to tieing in terms of most won Championship with Schaaphok.**

**Lukas didn't look forward to reach that goal with ARA Motorsports, so he thanked them for the opportunity and joined the traditional racing team Scuderia Ferrari, to also end his career there.**

**Lukas started off his season with Ferrari incredibly well, but had some low's throughout the season which costed him the World Championship title that year.**

**Mattia Mondo's consistency defeated a hungry **Lukas Hanf** who was looking forward to become the first-ever 5-time Formula One World Champion.**

**After the season, he decided to leave the sport as he wanted to spend more time with his wife and family, and became a father of a young girl.**

**All in all, Lukas archieved everything you actually could and is all happy after.**
