Press celebrates Hamilton: “The best driver in the best car”

Great Britain The Times: “It goes without saying that Hamilton’s place is in history. He has confirmed his place in the pantheon of sporting greats, not just Formula 1. His remarkable achievement is now forever etched in the record books, with no end in sight to what he can achieve.”

The Guardian: “Lewis Hamilton warned he was not expecting miracles at the US Grand Prix, where he was aiming for a remarkable sixth Formula One world championship. Of course, no divine intervention was necessary as he clinched the title to rank behind only Michael Schumacher as the most successful driver in history. “Hamilton has proven amply this season that he owes nothing to luck or chance, but is a man who operates on a level apart from other mortals.” Switzerland Look: “Lewis Hamilton fills half a dozen! In Austin, the Brit clinched his sixth World Cup triumph after 2008, 2014, 2015, 2017 and 2018. This means he has overtaken Juan-Manuel Fangio (6 titles) and is further closing in on record holder Michael Schumacher (5 titles). (...) Also impressive: Hamilton has always scored points in 7 races in a row. A testament to how consistently Mercedes works. So it's no wonder that the Silver Arrows achieved their 31th double victory of the season. What a show of force!” Spain Sports: “Schumacher, with seven world titles, now has the Brit in his rear-view mirror.”

World Sports: “That desire to always want more and more is what makes Hamilton one of the greatest of all time.” Germany Bild newspaper: “And just as Schumi dominated Formula 1 in his time, the Brit now dominates the premier class of motorsport. Mercedes and Hamilton fit together like Schumi and Ferrari. He is simply the best driver in the best car at the moment.”

Southern German newspaper: “The already most successful driver of the millennium wants even more, he wants to overtake Schumacher, like he just did with Juan-Manuel Fangio. At the mention of Schumacher's name, his eyes moisten: It was never my stated goal to break Michael's record. Now it seems so close – and yet it’s still so far away.” Italy Sports Gazette: “Hamilton, a killer on the track. He loves life and is an infinitely great champion. He was already a big guy, now he’s even more so.”
