Ross Brawn, Formula 1 Managing Director, believes that both, Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher, are God gifted. He differentiated others from the “God given talent”, which enabled both to achieve seven Formula 1 World Championship titles.
Hamilton crowned strenuous Turkish Grand Prix, which halted his efforts for the title. He named the seventh world championship title to his name.
Mercedes secured the constructors championship title, with Lewis Hamilton-Valtteri Bottas one-two, at Imola Grand Prix.
Brawn remained on Schumacher’s side furnishing technical expertise for his title campaigns. He served as the technical director of Benetton and Ferrari while Schumacher ran for titles.
Brawn is also affiliated to Hamilton’s move to Mercedes Formula 1 team.
“Massive congratulations to Lewis,” Brawn congratulated and appreciate him in his column. “He showed why he is such an exceptional talent.
“It was the perfect demonstration of what he is – a seven-time world champion, equalling Michael’s record.
“It’s the kind of dominance that in most people’s motorsport career, you only see once. I’ve been blessed to see it twice.
“I have been fortunate to work with both Lewis and Michael. They are different characters, which is wonderful, as you don’t want metronomic characters in F1.
“Lewis is different to Michael in the way they approach things. At the core of it, they both have a God-given talent.”

Brawn added that Turkish GP showed Hamilton’s might against adversity.
“I’m always engaged by the running commentary from Lewis during the race on team radio, suggesting things aren’t going well, which is always entertaining,” said Brawn. “But he always delivers.
“In Turkey, despite his Mercedes team struggling for pace all weekend on a slippery surface in cold conditions, he stayed patient in the race. He strategised and pushed when needed to. He got the tyres working when no one else could.
“Sunday wasn’t an easy win. He didn’t put the car on pole and disappear into the distance. It was a challenging weekend for him, regarding the weather, the conditions and the track.
“Clearly, it didn’t initially suit Mercedes, but they got their heads down and thought about it. He came from further down the grid.
“He wins when he’s not given any opposition, and he wins when he is given a big challenge.”
