F1 | Prost: “Hamilton? Talking about the record of seven titles seems absurd to me."

On Sunday, at the end of the Mexican Grand Prix, Lewis Hamilton won his fourth career world title with two races to go before the end of the season.

By winning his fourth title, Hamilton has thus reached Alain Prost and rival Sebastian Vettel in the general classification.

However, Prost himself believes it is unthinkable to hypothesize that, in the future, Hamilton could reach the record of seven titles held by Michael Schumacher: "A pilot cannot answer this type of question Рdeclared the Professor in an interview with LӃquipe РWhen you have four titles, you think about the fifth and it already seems difficult and far away. You have to live race after race. It is not good for a driver to think differently. Talking about seven titles seems grotesque to me".

Continuing with his analysis, Prost is convinced however that, with the championship centered on Sunday, Hamilton has entered a new dimension compared to the recent past: “Records are made to be broken. Lewis beat some that were considered unapproachable, such as the pole number. There are more and more races, single-seaters are becoming more reliable, everything is changing and records are falling. And this creates debates among fans who try to compare the talent and records of drivers from different generations. Everyone clearly has their own idea. But it is certain that Lewis, equaling Sebastian Vettel and myself, has entered a new dimension".
