Brawn: “Lewis Hamilton is rewriting the history of this sport”

Formula One managing director Ross Brawn says Lewis Hamilton deserves much of the credit for Mercedes run of six Constructors’ titles. Mercedes earned the teams’ title last time out in Suzuka as their 1-3 result on the day gave them an unassailable 179-point lead over Ferrari. “Much of this success is down to Lewis Hamilton, an amazing driver who is rewriting the history of this sport in a manner all his own,” said the Brit. “It’s always difficult to establish how much is down to the car and how much to the driver, but in the end, for me, it’s the team that counts the most. “Formula 1 is a team sport and even if the driver is the star of the show he cannot win without a team behind him. Mercedes has reached a higher level than its rivals and so far has been almost untouchable.” Join our F1 Group on Facebook
