There seems to be no other moment perfect than what took place in Sochi. With the showers hitting late, a great pit spot supported by the electrifying speed of the W12, ensured that Lewis Hamilton became the first ever Formula 1 driver to win 100 grand prixs. However after the race the rest of grid and the world of Formula 1 congratulated the veteran for his much-deserved accoplishment.
At ServusTV Former Mercedes boss Norbert Haug is our guest. He too has nothing but praise for the record Hamilton managed to set during the race in Sochi. Moreover, Lewis Hamilton will follow up this milestone with his 8th world title this year, Haug is not so sure. In addition, he also sees that the Mercedes driver has a tough job to do with the Red Bull ace, Max Verstappen.
Norbert Haug on Lewis Hamilton
“Lewis Hamilton has achieved his 100 wins in 15 years and in 281 World Cup appearances. So on average he has won almost every third race. Even if he often had the best car in the process: that’s extraordinarily remarkable. Ten years ago nobody would have thought that Michael Schumacher’s record would ever be overtaken or broken.”
He added, “These guys believe in themselves strongly. If one driver doubts himself, there are immediately opportunities for the other. The real top drivers like Hamilton and Verstappen both have that absolute confidence: nobody beats me.
“The best example was set by Fernando Alonso. He just couldn’t imagine that a rookie would immediately drive as fast as a two-time world champion, but with Lewis it was like that at the time.”
