Mark Webber believes Lewis Hamilton can surpass Michael Schumacher as one of F1’s all-time greats due to the British driving superstar being “technically cleaner”. Hamilton has dominated the sport since moving to Mercedes from McLaren in 2013.

He burst onto the scene as a young and promising star back in 2007, finishing second in his debut season by just one point.

His first title would come a year later with Hamilton expected to go on to break more records but McLaren failed to build on their success as their car struggled to challenge Red Bull and Ferrari.

Hamilton then made the switch to Mercedes and they have dominated F1 since the change to V6 turbo engines in 2014.

The 35-year-old has since won five of the last six Drivers’ Championships, putting him second in the all-time list.
