Lewis Hamilton made an incredible statement during Ferrari's parade through the streets of Milan. The Englishman knows how to light flares and will probably receive both criticism and praise for this statement - even from his own fans...
It is a nice thing to have seven world titles, but it is by no means a guarantee, especially not in a team as turbulent as Scuderia Ferrari. Moreover, making such a statement without any evidence holds, at most, only in numbers, on paper, and even then only very strictly, projected onto Scuderia Ferrari. It is likely that many will discuss and debate Hamilton's statement, but if we consider only the previous legends of the reds and their performances at Ferrari, then on this basis one could easily place Niki Lauda and Clay Regazzoni, Nigel Mansell and Alain Prost, Michael Schumacher and Rubens Barrichello, Fernando Alonso and Kimi Raikkonen, but with a little good will also Kimi and Sebastian Vettel. Looking at the entire panorama of F1, this statement seems rather banal...
It is clear that the new environment has greatly excited Hamilton, he is flying after the change of team and does not hesitate to underline it repeatedly, in increasingly bold ways: "Charles and I are probably the best driver pairing that F1 has ever had" - declared Hamilton.
A good start. From here you can fall down or go straight to heaven . In time you will find out which of the two options fate will choose!
