Can Lewis Hamilton be as good as Michael Schumacher?
As the dust begins to settle on one of Formula One's most enthralling afternoons, Lewis Hamilton will wake up with the glorious realisation that all his boyhood dreams have come true.
His nail-biting fifth place in the Brazilian Grand Prix – allowing him to clinch the title by a single point – will go down as a key moment in the annals of motorsport, but can he now go on to become the sport's greatest champion?
Having conquered Formula One by the tender age of 23, and in only his second season, Hamilton could have more than a decade left at the top of his sport – plenty of time to surpass Michael Schumacher’s record of seven world championships.
Schumacher said yesterday, that his record is there for the breaking - and that Hamilton was in pole position to do it, but do you agree?
After winning his first championship in 1994 at the age of 25, Schumacher dominated the sport for a decade, winning 91 Grands Prix, 72 of which came for Ferrari.
In contrast Hamilton burst on to the scene last year, narrowly missing out on the drivers' championship in a debut season that saw him win four Grands Prix.
However, after becoming the sport's youngest world champion at 23 years, eight months and 26 days can Lewis go on to be as good, or even better than Schumacher? The debate is all yours.
