Formula 1 managing director Ross Brawn believes that Lewis꧃ Hamilton and 𒀰Michael Schumacher share a “God given talent” that puts them on another level compared to their rivals.

Hamilton sealed his seventh world title to equal Schumacher’s benchmark that had stood unrivalled since his final championship triumph in 2004 by winning Sund⛄ay’s Turkish Grand Prix in wet conditions at a slippery Istanbul Park.

Writing in his post-race column for the official Formula 1 webs♑ite, Brawn, who oversaw all of Schumacher’s title victories at Ferrari before becoming a key figure in prizing Ham꧒ilton away from McLaren to join Mercedes in 2013, noted what he feels sets the two drivers apart from the rest.

"Massive congratulations to Lewis," Brawn wrote. “He showed why he is such an exceptio🐲nal talent.

"It was the perfect demonstration▨ of what he is - a seven-time world champion, equalling Michael's record.

"It's the kind of dominance that in most peop💖le's motorsport career, yo൩u only see once. I've been blessed to see it twice.

"I have been fortunate to work with both Lewis and Michael. They are different characters, which is🎐 wonderful, as you don't want metronomic characters in F1.

"Lewis is diffe🧸rent to Michael in the way they approach things. At the core of it, they both have a God given talent.”

Brawn said that Hamilton’s victory in Turkey once again demonstrated his ab🥂ilities to win races in different circumstances and overcome difficult challenges.

"I'm always engaged by the running commentary from Lewis during the race on tea💧m radio, suggesting things aren't going well, which is always entertaining," Brawn explained. “But he always delivers.

"In Turkey, despite his Mercedes team struggling for pace all weekend on a slippery surface in cold conditions, he stayed patient iꦰn the rac♛e, strategised and pushed when needed to. He got the tyres working when no one else could.

"Sunday wasn't an easy win. He didn't put the car on🧜 pole and disappear into the distance. It was a challenging weekend for him, regarding the weꦜather, the conditions and the track.

"Clearly, it didn't initially suit Mercedes, but they got their heads down and thought about it. He came from fuꦬrther down the grid. He wins when he's not given any opposition, and he wins when he is given a big challenge.”

And Brawn admitted it is “hard to pick a weakness in Lew꧅is’ armoury”, adding: "He sometimes seems to get emotional on the radio, but the team knows how to handle that through the calmness of his engineer Pete Bonnington.

"Bono doesn't get fazed by anything Lewis says a༒nd has a great riposte when he gets too excited. Everyone in that team works so well together.

"Right now, he's at the pinnacle of his career. An🌳d I don't know where♍ his form will start to tail off."
