Hamilton feels for F1 fans
Lewis Hamilton acknowledges that if he had been a Formula One fan watching the same man reel off one dominant win after another, it might even have sent him to sleep.
"Having been a fan growing up, having lived in different eras, watching the Schumacher era, of course I know what it's like," said the Briton, sympathising with fans after his fifth win in seven races at Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.
With yet another pole-to-flag procession in his Mercedes, even Hamilton was reminded of the days between 2000 and 2004 when he would watch Michael Schumacher dominate with Ferrari.
"I was a teenaged kid. I would have woken up, had my bacon sarnie and probably watched the start and gone to sleep and then woken up to watch the end," he recalled.
"If I was watching today I would do the same most likely and watch the highlights, 'cause it's much shorter," Hamilton, who is now a vegan, added with a laugh.The 35-year-old has won five of the last six world championships and with a 47-point lead over Red Bull's Max Verstappen, is on course to equal Schumacher's record of seven titles this year.
