LONDON (Reuters) - Jean Todt, who presided over Michael Schumacher's golden years at Ferrari, says he would have to congratulate Lewis Hamilton if the Briton smashes the great German's Formula One records - even if he would prefer them to remain intact.

Six times world champion Hamilton enjoys a 30-point lead in the championship after four races and, with Mercedes dominant, is set to equal Schumacher's seven crowns.
