Lewis Hamilton made an incredible statement during the Ferrari street parade in Milan. The Briton knows how to launch rockets, and for this statement he will probably get a cold and hot reception - even from his own...
Seven world championship titles are nice, but they do not give any certainty, especially in such a chaotic modern team as Scuderia Ferrari. Besides, to state something like that without any evidence, at most in statistics, on paper it makes sense, and only very restrictively, related to Scuderia Ferrari. Hamilton's statement will probably be disputed by many people, but if we only look at the previous legends of the reds and their achievements in Ferrari, then on this basis we could freely put here (or rather before them) Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni, the pair of Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, and with a bit of good will even Kimi and Sebastian Vettel. Looking at the full picture of F1, this statement is almost banal...
Hamilton has clearly been very excited by the new environment, he has been floating on air since the change of team, and he does not hesitate to emphasise this over and over again, in increasingly edgy terms: "Probably Charles and I are the best driving pairing in F1 history," said Hamilton.
A nice start. From here you can fall hard, or just fly into the sky . In time we will see what the machine will throw out!
