Though enjoying his first retirement, Schumacher\u2019s eye for talent told him <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/tag\/lewis-hamilton\/\">Lewis Hamilton<\/a> would become an all-time great. However, what the German legend projected was so outlandish that no one could expect Hamilton to achieve what Schumacher thought the future held.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, Hamilton met Schumacher\u2019s expectations. In fact, he still has a decent chance at surpassing them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-lewis-hamilton-appears-poised-to-try-for-formula-1-championship-no-8\"><strong>Lewis Hamilton appears poised to try for Formula 1 championship No. 8<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019ve been gone.

His message was undeniable even if it wasn\u2019t explicit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019ve been gone. Now I\u2019m back!\u201d Hamilton wrote in his first message since Dec. 11. The driver\u2019s seven million Twitter followers gave the message 300,000 likes in the first eight hours. Even that astonishing reaction paled in comparison to more than a million taking notice on Instagram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The enthusiasm of those followers had little to do with joy over Hamilton breaking radio silence. Rather, they saw the six-word message as Hamilton\u2019s announcement that he will drive this season. Even if he didn\u2019t come right out and say it, Hamilton was almost certainly ending the speculation that he had retired from the Mercedes team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The combination of the <a href=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/max-verstappen-and-lewis-hamilton-co-starred-in-a-formula-1-drama-worthy-of-a-screenplay\/\">controversial loss to Max Verstappen<\/a> in the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix that settled the season championship and Hamilton\u2019s disappearance led to widespread speculation that he would quit the sport. Now, he has resurfaced in New York and rejoined social media. He\u2019s also apparently back in the hunt for championship No. 8.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Michael Schumacher\u2019s 2008 prediction about Lewis Hamilton was prescient<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1500\" height=\"997\" src=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lewis-Hamilton-1.jpg?w=1024&#038;h=681&#038;strip=all&#038;quality=89\" alt=\"Lewis Hamilton, who has kept a low profile since the conclusion of the Formula 1 season in December, is seen in Tribeca on Feb. 5, 2022, in New York City. | Gotham\/GC Images\" class=\"wp-image-1476917\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lewis-Hamilton-1.jpg 1500w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lewis-Hamilton-1.jpg?w=300&amp;h=199 300w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lewis-Hamilton-1.jpg?w=768&amp;h=510 768w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lewis-Hamilton-1.jpg?w=1024&amp;h=681 1024w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lewis-Hamilton-1.jpg?w=1200&amp;h=798 1200w, https:\/\/sports7.us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/Lewis-Hamilton-1.jpg?w=90&amp;h=60 90w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1500px) 100vw, 1500px\" \/><figcaption>Lewis Hamilton, who has kept a low profile since the conclusion of the Formula 1 season in December, is seen in Tribeca on Feb. 5, 2022, in New York City. | Gotham\/GC Images<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Lewis Hamilton was already winning karting championships in 1995 at the age of 10 and competing in Formula Renault auto races six years later. He worked his way up to championships in the Formula 3 Euro Series in 2005 and the GP2 Series a year later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the opportunity to drive for McLaren in Formula 1 in 2007, Hamilton took a lead into the final race of the season only to place seventh in Brazil and watch Kimi Raikkonen secure the title. A year later, Hamilton finished fifth in Brazil. This time, however, it was enough to hold off Felipe Massa for the first of his seven World Drivers\u2019 Championships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Early in that championship season, Schumacher told the BBC that he was certain Hamilton could win seven World Drivers\u2019 Championships, the same number Schumacher accumulated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI would say, absolutely, yes,\u201d he said, as recounted by <a href=\"https:\/\/thesportsrush.com\/f1-news-hes-a-quality-driver-very-strong-michael-schumacher-foresaw-lewis-hamilton-emulating-his-legacy-when-the-latter-was-only-16\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Sports Rush<\/a>. \u201cNobody thought, even me, that I could beat (five-time champion Juan Manuel) Fangio. Then I did. Records are there to be beaten.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Michael Schumacher stood alone for 16 seasons<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Hamilton opens up on his experiences of racism, inequality and diversity in F1\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/qYSt1bgiCWE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>By the time he predicted Formula 1 superstardom, Michael Schumacher was already 1-for-1 in anticipating Lewis Hamilton\u2019s future. Not long after the British teen won the European Carting Championship in 2000, Schumacher said the motorsports prodigy would make it to F1. Hamilton accomplished it by the age of 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Saying that Hamilton could win seven titles made him 2-for-2, with such a bold assertion worth bonus points. Now, it\u2019s up to Hamilton to take it to the next level. When Schumacher spoke of how records are there to be broken, he couldn\u2019t have imagined that his own mark of seven Formula 1 championships would be equaled just 16 years after the German star won his seventh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all signs pointing to Hamilton being over the anger and disappointment of the finish to last season, he gets his second crack at No. 8 beginning in March in Bahrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Like Sports7 on <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/Sports7dotcom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><em>Facebook<\/em><\/a><em>.
