Tom Brady praises 'exceptional' Hamilton ahead of sixth title

Tom Brady has praised Formula One's Lewis Hamilton as the British driver looks set to join him as a six-time world champion.

Hamilton must finish eighth or higher at Sunday's U.S Grand Prix in Austin, Texas to clinch another championship, which would move him to within one title of Michael Schumacher's all-time record.

Brady, who has won six Super Bowl titles, spoke about Hamilton -- who he reveals lives a floor above him in his New York apartment building -- ahead of Sunday's game against the Baltimore Ravens.

"I've followed him for a little bit," Brady said on Friday.
