Lewis Hamilton was jokingly labelled as \u201cgreedy\u201d by George Russell, Lando Norris and Alex Albon as the trio discussed his and Max Verstappen\u2019s desire to add more World Championships to their collections.<\/p>\n
The legendary Brit already has seven titles to his name in F1 but is still going in search of the eighth World Championship that would move him clear of Michael Schumacher in the record books and avenge the events of the 2021 season finale in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
At 38 years of age, time is running out for Hamilton to secure his eighth championship, but after signing a new two-year contract extension with Mercedes, it is clear that he still believes that the team is capable of hunting down Red Bull and giving him race-winning machinery once again.\u00a0<\/p>\n
While Hamilton is hungry to add another title to his tally and stand alone in the record books as the greatest of all time, this hunger attracted some jokes from Russell, Albon and Norris as the three F1 stars reunited ahead of the Qatar Grand Prix.<\/p>\n
