Hamilton pays LEGENDARY Schumacher tribute in official release

Mercedes star Lewis Hamilton has paid a stunning tribute to fellow seven-time Formula 1 world champion Michael Schumacher in his latest release.

The Brit and the German are undoubtedly two of the finest drivers to ever get behind the wheel of an F1 car, with the debate set to rage on for generations over who is the greatest.

In recent years, given his talent, more races on the calendar, and Mercedes' dominance, Hamilton has been able to break record after record of Schumacher's, with the Brit now having the most race wins, pole positions and podiums in F1. However, there are still plenty of Schumacher records that remain intact.

One metric he is yet to surpass Schumacher in, for example, is world championships, with both tied on seven.

Hamilton - who is set to join Ferrari in 2025 - still has the opportunity to make it eight, of course, and how iconic it would be to do it with the Italian team.

Schumacher himself won five of his seven world championships with the Scuderia, making for a formidable partnership not too dissimilar to the one we have seen more recently between Hamilton and Mercedes.

Schumacher was a two-time champion when he joined Ferrari in 1996, though, having won his first championship in 1994 and his second in 1995, both with Benetton.

To celebrate the 30th anniversary of Schumacher's maiden championship win, an official book is set to be released later this month titled 'World Championship Cars: Michael Schumacher'.

The book is set to feature exclusive studio photography of all of Schumacher's championship-winning cars and promises fans that it 'captures the special aura' of the champion vehicles.

Incredibly, Hamilton has provided the foreword for the book, with the official account of Michael Schumacher on X now sharing the Brit's legendary one-line tribute.

Hamilton kicks off the book with a classy message: "From one legend to another."
