For me he doesn't need to win more than others. Look at Ayrton Senna, Jim Clark or Gilles Villeneuve. They were nowhere near the 7 titles of Schumacher, but we grant them legendary statuses and probably the best drivers we've seen. Lewis constantly showed hunger on and off the track. He makes the most overtakings every season and always has that extra even if the car isn't that good at all. For me that is what great drivers are.elf341 wrote:He's got some way to go until you can put him in the list Emerson mentioned.
Vettel has 4 WDC and won the last 9 races of 2013 in a row, and yet people still hesitate to add his name to that list.
Ross Brawn put it best in an interview he gave early this year where he mentioned that Hamilton needs to learn that to dominate he needs to do more than just drive the car - that includes working very closely with engineers.
What we've seen so far this year is less "leave me alone" and more "tell me what I can do" on the radio - a step in the right direction!
On Topic:
Looks like Mercedes are still on top of things even though the gap is smaller between the rest of the field. Surely they haven't shown their real pace. Expect them to be +1sec faster than the 3rd again after Quali.
) strategy of fuel saving/slower pace/longer stints would give him advantage towards the end. If he had expected that it could be countered with extra "engine boost" it would have been different. When it happens they can't go back in time and modify it if for example he's short on fuel.
