Lewis Hamilton made a surprising statement during the Ferrari street parade in Milan. The Briton knows how to light a firecracker, and this statement will likely draw both criticism and praise, even from his own fans...
Seven world titles are a nice achievement, but it guarantees nothing, especially in a team as chaotic as Scuderia Ferrari. Furthermore, making such a claim without any proof is at best based on statistics, on paper, and then only very narrowly, projected onto Scuderia Ferrari. Hamilton's claim will likely be the subject of much debate, but if we only consider the previous legends of the Reds and their performances at Ferrari, then on this basis one could easily include Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni, Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, and even, with a bit of goodwill, Kimi and Sebastian Vettel. When examining the full picture of F1, this claim is rather banal...
Hamilton has clearly become very excited about his new surroundings, has been flying since the change of team, and doesn't hesitate to mention it repeatedly, each time in a bolder way: "Charles and I are probably the best driver partnership F1 has ever had," Hamilton declared.
Nice start. From here you can plummet, or you can ascend to heaven . Eventually, you'll discover what the machine will throw out!
