Former Formula 1 driver Riccardo Patrese, who was Michael Schumacher's teammate, commented on Lewis Hamilton's performance. Patrese noted that Hamilton is still a long way from Schumacher's level. "Michael was on another level, he was unique. Lewis is an excellent driver, but he still has a lot of work to do to match Michael," Patrese stated. He also added that for Hamilton, it is important not only the number of wins but also how he achieves these results. Patrese emphasized that Schumacher had a special talent for racing that is rarely seen.
