Mercedes driver, Lewis Hamilton has set his mind on breaking more records after matching legend, Michael Schumacher’s F1 record.

Speaking after the breakthrough, Hamilton said: “My whole life I’ve secretly dreamt as high as this.
“I remember watching Michael winning those championships. We always hear just to get 1 or 2 or even 3 is so hard to get – 7 is just so unimaginable.
“There’s no end to what me and this team can do together. What a day. A lot to take in.
“I feel like I’m only just getting started. I feel physically in great shape and mentally this year has been the hardest year for millions of people and it’s no different for us athletes.

“I’m a bit lost for words. I think naturally I have to say thank you to the team. The journey we’ve been on is monumental.
“I want to say also a big thank you to team LH for sticking with me all these years. And to my family who dreamed of this when we were young and watching the grand prix. This is way beyond our dreams.
“It’s so important for kids out there to see this and know that don’t listen to anybody who tells you you can’t achieve something. Dream the impossible and speak it into existence. You’ve got to work for it, chase it and never give up.”
