Lewis Hamilton receives ‘romantic’ support from F1 legend
Lewis Hamilton, a seven-time F1 champion, is pursuing the record-breaking eighth world title and has received support from F1 legend Nigel Mansell, who described the notion as ‘romantic’.
Hamilton currently holds various F1 records, including most race wins, pole positions, and podium finishes, and equaled Michael Schumacher’s seven world drivers’ titles in 2020.
Despite nearly making history in 2021, Hamilton was ultimately bested by Max Verstappen in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, sparking doubts about his dream of an eighth title.
Mansell believes in Hamilton’s ability to achieve this milestone, stating that the Mercedes driver is still driven and Ferrari has made significant improvements.
Mansell, a former Ferrari driver himself, also advised George Russell to assert his dominance at Mercedes in the ongoing inter-team battle with Kimi Antonelli.
