‘As we were growing up it was the indlam of all of us’

The Briton and the German are the only two drivers in Formula 1 history with 7 championships. They competed as rivals in the period 2010-’12, “Sumi” with Mercedes and Lewis with McLaren, until in 2013 the German’s career in the sport ended and in his place at Mercedes the era of Hamilton’s empire dawned.

But, the Briton never forgot that in his childhood and teenage years “Sumi” was one of his idols. And in the new book that was recently published, with the title “World Championship Cars – Michael Schumacher”, he wrote in the introduction some touching words about the great champion of the sport.

“THE Michael he was an idol for all of us who love racing”Lewis said. “Growing up, I always looked up to him as a role model and I believe that the same was true for many new drivers, including of myself.

Michael always represented her absolute speed and determination. His ability to compete at such highthe levelthe for so many years is something we can all only admire. His consistency and dedication were exemplary.”

And then, Lewis also focused on the human side of Michael Schumacher, which went beyond victories and trophies: “What impresses me most about Michael he is the man he is, beyond the champion we all know.

It’s not just his wins or titles, it’s the family he and her have built Corina with so much love and devotion. Their humility, honesty and family bond are worth more than any trophy.”Lewis Hamilton concluded.

We remind you that the last public appearance of Michael Schumacher took place in December 2013, in the French winter resort of Mirabel, when an accident – while skiing – left him with serious brain injuries from which he has been recovering ever since – under the absolute and inviolable protection of privacy from his family.
