Hamilton equals Schumacher
Lewis Hamilton secured a record-equalling seventh Formula One world title on Sunday after winning the Turkish Grand Prix despite starting sixth on the grid.
The Briton matched Michael Schumacher's haul of drivers' crowns with three races of the season remaining.The 35-year-old sealed his latest title with a typically measured masterclass, handling treacherous wet early conditions to claim his 94th career win despite his unaccustomed start position.
A breathless Hamilton said: "I'm lost for words. This is way beyond my dreams."
Hamilton, who sealed his first title in 2008, was adding to his unprecedented roster of records -- most wins with 94, most pole positions (97), most podium finishes (163) and most consecutive points finishes (47).
As he received the congratulations of his team, Hamilton was almost overcome with emotion in the car after the race, saying: "To all the kids out there, dream the impossible.""I feel like I'm only just getting started, it's really weird."
