Lewis Hamilton is aiming to win his seventh World Title to match Michael Schumacher's record. However, according to former teammate Jenson Button, has hardly had any competition this year, partly because Max Verstappen's Red Bull does not do what was expected of it and Bottas is not constant enough throughout the year. “I know Lewis, he likes to win, he’s definitely a winner and he’s very skilled but I know he won’t be enjoying winning as much now as he would have done if he had competition from outside,”, Button opens to Inews. “If he had [Charles] Leclerc or [Sebastian] Vettel or Max Verstappen in equipment that could challenge Lewis, I think he would enjoy that a lot more. Or if he had Michael Schumacher and he could beat him – that would mean more to him. It’s a tough one because you take every win that you get but you want the competition to be there to challenge you for that win."
