Hamilton shoots critics: ″ There is another driver with the same car and he doesn’t win like me ″

The British driver demands respect. “I wish there were more races like Turkey, to show what I can do,” he said.

Lewis Hamilton has dominated Formula 1 in recent years and on Sunday took a giant step to be considered the best of all time in Formula 1, winning the seventh title of his career, equaling German record Michael Schumacher.

However, the merit of the Briton Mercedes is often questioned, with many critics claiming that such success is the fruit of the team and the car he drives. Now, and although he agrees that both aspects are fundamental to the numbers he presents, Hamilton demands respect, saying that this could not be achieved without talent.

“I wish there were more complicated races like Turkey, in conditions like those. The more occasions of this type, the more times I can show what I am capable of.” [de fazer]. I deserve respect, it was a very tough Sunday, one that doesn’t depend on the car. There is another great driver who uses the same car and obviously does not end up like me ”, he began by saying, quoted by the Marca newspaper.

“I hear interesting comments from great drivers, especially from the past. Of course you need a great team and a great car, nobody won a World Cup any other way. When I was racing in karts, I was driving a fifth class car with a shitty engine. . In my first championship, the boy who won had some very good engines that Jenson Button’s father made. I remember when the boy moved in, my father had to mortgage the house again to buy one of those 2,500 pounds. They put him in my car, he was in charge all the time. Of course you need good material, but it also says what is done with it and I hope this has been seen in Turkey “, he concluded.
