Lewis Hamilton hailed sport’s best-ever world champion by Bernie Ecclestone
http://www.foxsports.com.au/motor-sp...-1227392567179
"
FORMULA 1 chief Bernie Ecclestone (demented old fart) has hailed Lewis Hamilton as the “best world champion we’ve had”.
The F1 supremo has repeatedly hailed Hamilton for his ‘box office’ presence. Last month, Ecclestone praised the Englishman for being a “super promoter of the sport” while contrasting his global appeal with the relatively limited fanbase of his closest championship rivals, Nico Rosberg and Sebastian Vettel.
"VERSTAPPEN: ‘If I’d let Sainz past, dad would’ve kicked me in the nuts!’

I'd (really) like to see how he'd rate Kimi Raikkonen right now, after the former champion freshly stated how boring F1 is.

But Lewis has still to do in his motorsport career... We still didn't see the complete capabilities of him. Despite is a proud champion, of course.

How else does the statement read though? Originally Posted by kfzmeister

Lewis Hamilton likes being in public, and likes receiving attention from the media, often being seen together with various celebrities. By translation, he also ends up with a larger fan base than Vettel or Rosberg. In this sense, yes he is great for F1 because he is a great ambassador of the sport. Having said that, Hamilton is certainly a top tier driver in F1 racing, and who knows how many more records he will demolish in future.
