Hamilton can be the greatest - Hakkinen

Former F1 World Champion Mika Hakkinen has declared that Lewis Hamilton, the 2008 champion, could become the greatest driver in the history of F1. The popular McLaren driver became the youngest F1 champion in history after a thrilling final race at Brazil.

Mika Hakkinen said to the British newspaper 'The Times': “I just do not see why he cannot become the best there is. He is only in his second year in Formula 1 and that is a very high-pressure environment. But he deals with it. He has youth and talent on his side. He can be the greatest.”
