At just 32, Lewis Hamilton still has a number of years ahead of him in Formula One if he stays healthy and there’s a very real chance he could rewrite the record books.
After Nico Rosberg called time on his career at the end of the 2016 season, Lewis Hamilton was left atop the charts as the top driver in the best car and the expectation was that he would continue his reign of dominance over the field.
Despite being a number of points adrift of Sebastien Vettel in the standings in 2017, Hamilton will fancy himself to claw his way back into the title race. Hamilton and Vettel are predicted as current favourites to win Formula 1 by racing and sports bookmakers like CrownBet.
Schumacher holds the record for most world titles (7) and most race wins (91) during his illustrious career and Hamilton is well on the way to overtaking the German with his three titles and 55 wins, the second most of all time.
With three world titles, Hamilton has cemented himself as an all-time great of the sport but a man as ambitious as he is will not stand for that, and he himself has claimed that he wants to emulate Michael Schumacher’s success in the sport.
Hamilton has an incredible knack for pulling out a blistering lap when he needs to in qualifying and has a real cavalier attitude when it comes to making up positions on the track, akin to Schumacher.
We’ve not seen a driver as dominant and successful in the sport since Schumacher retired, and Hamilton will continue on his current trajectory and usurp the biggest icon in the sport’s history.
