Mario Andretti believes it: “Hamilton could still become world champion again”

The shared record Throughout his career in Formula 1, which began in 2007, Lewis Hamilton achieved performances that allowed him to establish the most important and significant records in the history of the Circus: the greatest number of victories, pole positions, podiums, but above all world titles. The Englishman has won seven world championships, joining Michael Schumacher in this special ranking. The dark year in Ferrari However, during his first season in Ferrari, the Englishman entered into a real crisis of results: for the first time, Hamilton did not achieve a single podium during the entire year (as well as a pole position), even becoming the worst driver in the history of the Cavallino. Performances that have increased rumors about his possible retirement from F1, where there are managers and former drivers who persist in defending the #44, believing that he can soon return to his levels. Word of ‘Piedone’ Andretti One of these is Mario Andretti, 1978 world champion and winner of his first career race with the Red. Interviewed by GPBlog, the Italian-American still believes that Hamilton can overtake Schumacher, despite the difficulties he experienced in the last championship: “I don’t think we can ever give him up for dead. There is too much talent to say ‘no’. For me, it will depend on him, obviously. I don’t know what his mental situation or his desires are, but you can never doubt his talent, especially for what he has achieved in this sport. He could become world champion again, absolutely.”
