Mercedes is more dominant today than Ferrari was at the height of the Michael Schumacher era. That is the view of FIA president Jean Todt, who presided over Schumacher’s five consecutive world championships between 2000 and 2004 as team boss. When asked to compare that success with Lewis Hamilton’s reign of today, Todt said: “We are talking about completely different ingredients and two different personalities at the wheel. “Mercedes also has a very reliable car, with Lewis scoring every time for almost two years. “I’m very impressed, but I was before the 2020 season,” Todt said. “I find it remarkable how Lewis Hamilton puts his team at the centre every time he gives interviews after another success.
