Winning a Formula 1 championship is no child’s play. Ask NicoRosberg who triumphed over Lewis Hamilton in 2016 but was so drained out at the end of the season that he decided to hang his boots. When Michael Schumacher added seven titles under his belt, nobody expected any other Formula 1 driver to even come close. But Hamilton, with his consistency and never-say-die attitude feels invincible today and probably will surpass Schumacher’s record of being the most successful Formula 1 driver ever. What makes him hungry for success at this age? We delve deep into the Brit’s success story and peel of layers to find out what the champ is actually made of in Motor Sport India’s cover story this month.
