Hamilton touching:
“For me, Michael as a person is in the foreground”
On the 30th anniversary of Michael Schumacher's first world championship title, seven-time champion Lewis Hamilton has paid special tribute to and emphasized the human side of the German Formula 1 hero. The Briton, who replaced Schumacher in the Mercedes in 2012 and will drive for Ferrari next year as he once did, made his comments in the new illustrated book "Weltmeisterwagen Michael Schumacher", which was published on the anniversary of the world championship triumph on November 13, 1994.
"When it comes to Michael's legacy, however, I focus on him as a person rather than as a competitor," wrote Hamilton: "It's not about titles or trophies, but about the family that Corinna and he created together." In the meantime, he has had the good fortune to get to know Schumacher's daughter Gina and has been working closely with his son Mick for two years. The 25-year-old is still employed by Mercedes as a test and replacement driver this season.
"Their greatness, their humility and their sincerity say much more about Michael's values than I ever could," wrote Hamilton about the children and Michael Schumacher, who has not appeared in public since his skiing accident and the severe traumatic brain injury he suffered at the end of 2013.
