MONZA, Italy -- Five-time world champion Lewis Hamilton believes the inherent danger and skill required to win in Formula One is sometimes underestimated.
Hamilton is closing in or Michael Schumacher's record of 91 wins and seven world championships and has won four of the last five drivers' titles. It is often assumed that Hamilton only wins because he has the fastest car in Formula One, but he believes the impact a driver has on a race is often underplayed.
"It does sometimes make me wonder," he said, "there's a lot that's put on, in terms of performance, there is a lot put on the car, and I would say that it's less concerned and more driver.
