With victory in today's race Eifel Grand Prix na Nürburgring could be a serial champion Lewis Hamilton equated with Michael Schumacher. But for a longtime former Formula 1 boss Bernie Ecclestone racer achievements Mercedesa are not necessarily on the same level with Schumacher's results.
"Schumacher was more or less dependent on himself when he sat in the car,”Is ecclestone told the French news agency AFP. The seven-time world champion had in his time harder work as he has at the time Hamilton. "God knows who Hamilton has to help explain tire pressure or cornering speed,He said Bernie, which does not want to reduce in any way The Hamiltons achievements. “We can’t say anything bad about Lewis, we can’t say he’s not good. That is not the point. Would Michael be better in this car? We don't know that."
But ecclestone points out that royal class of motorsport basically - just like racers - changed easily over time. “Already the way Hamilton dresses. If you didn't know Lewis was a Formula One racer, you'd never think so,”He says ecclestone. It was different with legends like Nelson Piquet or even Michael Schumacher. "When you saw them, you knew right away that they were racers. They were dressed for their role,He added ecclestone.
