Hamilton and Schumacher remain tied with the all-time record, although the Mercedes driver can claim an eighth title if he usurps 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Max Verstappen this year.

Hamilton secured his most recent championship at the 2020 F𝔉1 Tu😼rkish Grand Prix.

"Honestly, my whole❀ life flashed by," he re꧙membered to the ‘On Purpose’ podcast.

"Thꦰat last lap in Turkey, my whole life, all the struggles, questioning wh𓂃ether you were going to make it or not, all those doubts, all those fears, kind of flashed through my eyes.

"I came across the line and I was like, 'I did it', and I want the kids ou꧟t there to know that you can ♍do it too. So that's what I try, every day, just try to be encouraging of kids."

Hamilton won his seventh championship driving a Mercedes kitt♑ed out in an iconic black livery, a change from traditional silver, intended as an anti-racism mes♉sage.

"I've grown very close witཧh Mercedes-Benz and Daimler," he said.

"They've been so open that we changed the ca🉐r from silver to black in 2020. I said to them: 'The car's been silver forever, it's always been Silver Arrows. Imagine if we change the car to black. Imagine the message we can send’.

"We had the black car for the whole year. We didn't even really talk much about it, we 🎐just let it be. And we won with it, that's when I won my seventh world title with that car."
