LEWIS HAMILTON says winning the F1 title this year for a record eighth time would be his greatest victory. The championship lead has changed hands over the previous 20 races and currently sees Hamilton just eight points behind. “Those have been my favourite races when you have to come back from somewhere else. There was a period at the beginning of the year where we just won in Bahrain and then we had a good couple of races before then really falling behind. There were times when we were 35 points behind in the Constructors’ Championship and at that point and at the time it feels impossible.
