Lewis Hamilton delivered a stone-cold response when asked whether he was the GOAT of Formula 1.

With seven world titles to his name, Hamilton is often regarded as one of the greatest F1 drivers of all time.

In addition to his seven world titles, the Brit holds the record for most Grand Prix victories with 105 and he also has the most pole positions with 104.

Furthermore, with 201 podium finishes, no one has managed more than the current Mercedes driver.

Ahead of the 2025 season, Hamilton will make a historic switch from Mercedes to Ferrari, partnering Charles Leclerc in the new campaign.

Apart from Hamilton, the likes of Michael Schumacher, Ayrton Senna and Max Verstappen have also been mentioned in the GOAT debate.

During an interview with GQ Sports earlier in the year, Hamilton was asked: "Is Lewis Hamilton the GOAT?"

In response, the 39-year-old said: "I mean I know what I am. But that’s something I’ll continue to try and show you."

Last time out, Hamilton experienced one of the worst weekends of his career as he struggled with his Mercedes at the Brazilian Grand Prix.

In the end, he finished the race in 10th place, more than 30 seconds behind Mercedes teammate George Russell, who came home in fourth place.

Speaking about of his Mercedes exit in Matt Whyman's new book titled 'Inside Mercedes F1', Hamilton said, as per The Mirror: "I feel like I am ending a relationship that is perfectly fine. We are still in love. I have not lost faith in the team, I am just leaving for myself. It has been a childhood dream - I think it is probably the same for every kid who loves motorsport, you know? Driving the red car.

"The fact is I am moving towards the end of my career, I have only got a few years left and so I started thinking how I would feel looking back on it all. I asked myself if I would be truly happy if I just stayed with the team rather than experiencing something different."

He added: "I thought about it long and hard over the winter. It was a heavy time. I have this amazing thing going on here, after all. It has been a huge privilege and I genuinely love working with everyone. I also know moving is a big risk, but then I love risk. In the end, I just could not get it out of my head. I have got to try."

F1 returns in two weeks' time with the Las Vegas Grand Prix, with the race taking place on November 24.
