Damon Hill has likened Lewis Hamilton securing an eighth F1 drivers’ championship to two heroic sporting accomplishments.
Damon Hill has compared Lewis Hamilton winning his eighth F1 drivers’ crown to remarkable sporting achievements of Tiger Woods and Niki Lauda. Hamilton, who now drives for Ferrari, is focused on helping the team win the constructors’ championship. As the 2025 season begins, all eyes will be on Hamilton’s performance in the drivers’ championship. Despite critics suggesting he may be past his prime, Hill believes it is not impossible for Hamilton to secure his eighth title with Ferrari, likening it to comeback stories in golf and Formula 1 history. Hill sees Hamilton’s potential eighth title as a story akin to Woods’ 2019 Masters win and Lauda’s return from a near-fatal accident in 1976.
