Will.i.am also added that if Lewis wins his eighth title, it will be hard for Max Verstappen to “catch up”.
“If Lewis were to win, it would be historic. So that could be a legendary moment for Lewis, for the sport and for Mercedes.
“When Lewis does it, it’s going to take a long time for Max [Verstappen] to catch up, even though he is awesome, don’t get me wrong.
“But when Lewis has it in the bag, it’s going to take Max some years,” the American concluded.
