F1 pioneer Hamilton is ‘not done yet’

(CNN)As Lewis Hamilton secured his fifth Formula One world title at Sunday’s Mexican Grand Prix to become just the third driver in history to reach the landmark, the world of motorsport started to ponder just how great the Briton is and can be.

Now just two wins behind Michael Schumacher’s all-time record of seven titles, few would now bet against an imperious Hamilton, quite possibly at the peak of his powers, equaling or even bettering the great German.
It wasn’t the easiest day for Mercedes but Hamilton, knowing seventh place would be enough for victory to win the 2018 title, put up little fight as the quicker Sebastian Vettel of Ferrari and Red Bull’s Daniel Ricciardo overtook him — though the latter would again be left lamenting his “cursed” car after an eighth retirement of the season.
