Lewis Hamilton still finds it bizarre to have his name linked with F1's all-time statistical leader, Michael Schumacher, ahead of what could be a record-setting 2020.
Hamilton claimed the world title this year, his fifth in six years and sixth overall, moving him to within one of Schumacher's all-time mark. Hamilton can also surpass Schumacher's record of 91 grand prix victories next season - he finished 2020 on 84.
The British driver is humbled by comparisons to one of the sport's all-time greats.
"You know, honestly, I never look at records, I don't really know why" Hamilton said at the BBC's UK Sports Personality of the Year awards, where he placed second behind England cricketer Ben Stokes.
