“Lewis and I are super close. I have known him for years,” said Serena. “I love that guy, he is a really good friend of mine. The guy is such a champion. Such a champion in his mindset. What he does in training, and physically and in his job… I really have no words for it. He is, for me, the greatest driver our generation has seen. I am confident he will break the record of Michael Schumacher, who was also a fabulous driver.”
