Lewis Hamilton Quotes

Michael [Schumacher] was a phenomenal driver but for me, Ayrton Senna was the greatest ever. If I could get one world championship that would be great; if I could win three, the same number as Ayrton did, that would be a dream. But I want to be the best driver there has ever been.

Personally I feel for the fans because I remember the period of time when Michael Schumacher was winning.
