Seven times world champion Michael Schumacher believes McLaren driver Lewis Hamilton can overtake him in world titles.

The Formula One legend says if Hamilton wins the title on Sunday in the Brazilian Grand Prix it could be the start of a career that would rival his own.

The Ferrari icon said: "I would say, absolutely, yes (Hamilton could win seven titles).

"Nobody thought, even me, that I could beat (Juan Manuel) Fangio. Then I did. Records are there to be beaten".

"When you think about what he has done in such a short time - just arriving and competing last year with (double world champion Fernando) Alonso and being very often quicker - that talks for itself.

"Is he the best? Is he not the best? Is he better than Felipe Massa or not? You look at the circumstances; it is not always very straightforward or clear to understand from the outside."

He added: "I'm quite relaxed that one day it will happen - whether it's Lewis, whether it's Massa, or whoever.

"It might be someone of the current or of the future that could or will do it. But I've got no problem about it."
