Berger: Le Hamilton is at the level of Senna

Former Formula 1 racer Gerhard Berger claims that Lewis Hamilton is the only racer in history who can be compared to the legendary Ayrton Senna in terms of talent. The Austrian, who was Senna’s team-mate between 1990 and 1992 when the Brazilian won two world titles, is convinced the Briton has everything it takes to surpass the record mark of seven world titles held by Michael Schumacher. “They keep asking me how I think this or that racer compares to Ayrton,” says Berger, head of the German DTM touring car series.

formula 1

In the Formula One world, there is a lot of speculation in the media these days about Kimi Raikkonen's future in the Ferrari team, but the question is who will take his seat if the Italian team does not renew his contract. In the game is Daniel Ricciardo, who could rejoin Vettl as a teammate. There was even talk of returning Fernando Alonso, or hiring Jenson Butten, but that would cost Ferrari a lot more than hiring a younger racer, as suggested by David Coulthard: "If I had to choose, I would choose a younger racer. Kimi is with the fans. very popular, even so that when someone criticizes him, he is criticized himself. " On the other hand, Helmut Marko of Red Bull says Ricciardo is theirs and Bottas is Williams. Otherwise, buying Bottas is not supposed to be so impossible, but for that
