Lewis Hamilton will be looking to win a record eighth F1 Drivers' Championship title in his first season with Ferrari - a move which would see him move clear of Michael Schumacher

Michael Schumacher wouldn't want Lewis Hamilton to secure a historic eighth F1 title as the Australian Grand Prix creeps closer. That's according to 1997 world champion Jacques Villeneuve, who believes the German would want the pair to remain level.

“No, Michael Schumacher wouldn’t be happy to see Lewis Hamilton win the eighth championship,” he told YaySweepstakes.com. “Nobody who holds a record wants to be beaten. It's the name of the game, that's why you're a sportsman. And every driver, including me, always said, ‘Oh, the number of wins don't matter, records don't’, but that's not true.
