Lewis Hamilton’s team and car are better than the ones raced to similar levels of success by seven time world champion Michael Schumacher. That is the claim of former Mercedes boss Norbert Haug, with Hamilton poised to soon race past Schumacher’s all time record for the number of grand prix wins (91). Haug also said he thinks Max Verstappen “definitely has the same potential and ability” as 35-year-old Hamilton. “Just as Mercedes managed to create the perfect conditions for Lewis Hamilton, Ferrari failed to do so for Sebastian,” he said. “I love and appreciate Ferrari, but no love and no appreciation can change facts,” added Haug.
