F1 legend Sir Stirling Moss backs Hamilton to win almost six more world titles

Former Formula One racing driver Sir Stirling Moss has said that Mercedes driver Lewis Hamilton is capable of winning up to six motorsport racing world championship titles in his career.

Hamilton recorded his 32nd Grand Prix success on Sunday, which saw him overtake Nigel Mansell as the all-time British record holder for race wins.

Moss said that he could not see any reason why the Briton can't get four or five or six championships, adding that Hamilton is as good as they have got and they are very lucky to have him, The BBC reported.

Moss is widely regarded as the greatest driver never to win a world title. He came closest in 1958, when he lost out to Ferrari's Mike Hawthorn by a single point, despite winning four races to his rival's one that season.

Moss added that Hamilton looks to be unassailable, quite frankly, adding that he's up with Jimmy Clark, and people like that.

The late Clark won two championship titles in 1963 and 1965, as well as 25 Grand Prix races, the fourth highest of any British driver.

But Moss believes 2008 champion Hamilton would move even further clear at the top of the all-time British standings. He said that Hamilton is that good, adding that the cars are that reliable these days, therefore one can judge a man by his enormous talent.
