Lewis Hamilton Admits Eighth Formula One Title Would Be 'Most Significant'

News 18  

Lewis Hamilton admitted Thursday that snatching a record eighth Formula One world title from the grasp of bitter rival Max Verstappen would be his “most significant”. “Plus, we are in a pandemic and all sorts of things we have been faced with.” He said his battle with Red Bull’s Verstappen was notable and different to the rest. And I know, 100 per cent, that I have.” Hamilton’s calmness has come after winning the last two races in Brazil and Qatar to trim Verstappen’s advantage to eight points, but he knows that if the Dutchman wins on Sunday and he finishes outside the top six it will be the Red Bull man who takes his crown. You’ve got these long, long straights, the corners… everything’s a little bit different to the simulator!” Hamilton disagreed with team chief Toto Wolff that Red Bull had “woken up the lion” in him in Brazil, where he overcame two major penalties, and stimulated him to find a new higher level of driving.
