Hamilton aiming to join Suzuka greats
Championship leader Lewis Hamilton is hoping he can add his name to the list of greats who have won at Suzuka.
This week’s Japanese Grand Prix sees F1 return to one of the sport’s most popular circuits, one which is synonymous with great moments and great drivers.
Hamilton has yet to win at Suzuka and has claimed just one podium in 2009. He is hoping to emulate the likes of Michael Schumacher, Alain Prost and Ayrton Senna in winning at the famous track.
“All the greats of Formula One have won at Suzuka since the sport first came there in the 1980’s and I’m determined to that list this weekend.”
“There’s so much history there and there have been so many defining moments. Suzuka is one of the races on the calendar that drivers love the most- and arguably one of the greatest tracks in the world.”
Hamilton is hoping to extend his championship lead over his Mercedes team-mate Nico Rosberg, which currently sits at three points.
The Englishman has won both of the last two races in Italy and Singapore.
