Nigel Mansell wants to see Lewis Hamilton clinch a record-breaking eighth F1 drivers’ championship.
Nigel Mansell expressed his hope in a Sky Sports F1 interview that Lewis Hamilton could achieve an eighth world championship with Ferrari, calling it “romantic.” Mansell, the 1992 drivers’ champion, acknowledged Hamilton’s competition from younger drivers like Lando Norris but believes Hamilton deserves another title before retiring. Despite a challenging 2025 season with Ferrari, Hamilton has started stronger in 2026, securing a podium in China and currently holding fourth place in the standings. The improved performance of Ferrari this season has boosted Hamilton’s hopes for victory, though Mercedes has shown early dominance. Mansell desires to see Hamilton succeed, emphasizing his accomplishments and the sentimental value of a possible eighth title.
