PARIS, France -- Lewis Hamilton still has no ambition to beat Michael Schumacher's record of seven world titles, despite claiming the fourth championship of his career this season.
Hamilton will receive his championship trophy in Paris on Friday evening, promoting him into a select group of just five drivers -- including Sebastian Vettel, Alain Prost, Juan Manuel Fangio and Schumacher -- on four or more world titles.
Driving for the dominant Mercedes team, he has won three of the last four championships in F1 and this season broke Schumacher's record for the most pole positions.
He has yet to commit to a contract beyond the 2018 season, but is expected to stay with Mercedes until at least 2020 -- potentially giving him the opportunity to match Schumacher on seven.
