Lewis Hamilton has acknowledged that if he had been a Formula One fan watching the same man reel off one dominant win after another, it might even have sent him to sleep.
"Having been a fan growing up, having lived in different eras, watching the Schumacher era, of course I know what it's like," he said, sympathising with supporters after his fifth win in seven races at Sunday's Belgian Grand Prix.
With yet another pole-to-flag procession in his Mercedes, even Hamilton was reminded of the days between 2000 and 2004 when he would watch Michael Schumacher dominate with Ferrari.
