For me..LH took F1 to a different level when he started last on the grid and won the race (Guess it was Sau Paulo or Silverstone). Adore you LH. You are an inspiration.
I'm a massive fan of Lewis and you can't deny, he's the most successful f1 driver to live. When you mention the greatest though Schumacher pops in my head like a light bulb switch turning on. Schumachers body was that mangled after the crash, doctors said he would never walk again, never mind get back in an F1 car. He didn't just get back in the car, Shuey won another world championship! Shuey takes it for me still!
The dude had possibly the greatest car in F1 history and struggled against Nico Rosberg and George Russell (who drive the same car). Fangio, Senna, Schumacher were on another level
Let's face it, when you had the fastest car and ability to drive, you will be good. That being said, look at the 23 season, not going so well for him because they don't have the car. Aston have a good car and even Stroll can perform well. I'd say F1 is 70% car and 30% driver. Also, I love how we bring racism into everything in life

@@dunbar555 You need a good car to win a race, that is true for Lewis and also true for Verstappen for 2023. But have you ever been go karting or anything? The physical and mental strain of racing is underrated. Lewis did extremely well to still win from the back.
Jim Clark , Schumacher , Senna all better. Verstappen beat him in a slower car over the whole season in ‘21 and will finish a greater driver. Top 5 probably , too reliant on the huge mechanical advantage he had
i love him so much, he is not only a driver but also a very well brought up decent man.
That is the worst question someone ever asked
No, he isnt. There have been hundreds of pioneers who were racing on a bucket of bolts. They had no money or backing and still won.
He has been spoon fed.
Sorry but the greatest driver in history is Michael Schumacher ..
👍👌💯
Yes 100 percent👍🏎️
if horner max and seb or other drivers can call him goat ofc they have more experience with lewis on the track not like some fans who just watch highlights from F1 AHAHAHAHHA
You spelled Senna wrong
@@janne7263senna has nothing on Schumacher though…perhaps if he lived longer
The better the car the better the driver looks.
The car is built with the drivers input. So that says a lot.
@@opinionated_one8692bullshit, drivers help with the set up, they have nothing to do with the design and engineering of the car....
@@johnnybird7593some drivers actually do have a say on the engineering and designing of a car.. hence why MB shoulda listened to LH before this season began when he wanted to ditch the no side pod spec car
@@opinionated_one8692 nope thats not true or it was Bottas and Rosberg input that build the car before, because after they left the Merc became shit. 😂😂😂
I don’t understand how this reaction to that question comes across to people as ‘humble’. He’s literally basking in the glory
Because someone asked it's not like he just said it
Perfect example of don’t compare yourself to others
He has achieved plenty. He is a wholesome person. 💯
Verstappen is the goat, nobody comes even close
Man shut yo goofy ahh up where’s his 7 world titles? Respect? Care? Concern? Skill? Humility? Charity? And absolutely big heart? No where to be found he literally said his best purchase was his girlfriend wtf kind of attitude is that
Danny Ric beat Queerstappen in an equal car.
He checks wiki regularly to check his stats
Answer is no. Max is looking at you
The guy with the best car
By that token, Checo Perez should be the GOAT alongside Max. But he’s not.
@@Hamiltonic44 not the same car
@@mtmiles96 It's the same car. Perez always complained that the car was built and setup for Max.
That car is the best also BECAUSE of him. A driver doesn't just receive a car, he is key in its development
@@mtmiles96 Tell me you know nothing about F1 without telling me you know nothing about F1 LMAO
Senna & Schumi are GOAT !
Senna is overrated
@@orbit1894what? Every f1 driver say he's the greatest ever, you've got be trolling
@@orbit1894 😂 good Joke.
@@orbit1894jeez, Aryton must have quailfied in your mom...😂
I know that heart of hearts that he is. If Schumacher were not to have been in coma he would have beem the first to recognize the greatness of Hamilton, because it takes one to know one.
When they cheated Lewis out of that title and he congratulated Max, Lewis and his dad were so professional at that time i was so proud of them both, and i thought, would Max and his dad of been so forthcoming if reversed, i think not. Lewis is defo a legend.
He cheated himself out of the title in 2021 by cutting the corner and not giving the place back and the Stewards sided with Toto and Lewis so Karma struck them hard because they had been cutting corners all season of 2021
And didn't pit for new softs
@@Suus26 ??
@@tigertank1a421 he could have pit at the safety car, but Mercedes left him out. 1,000 scenarios to go, not knowing what was coming, but Mercedes took the risk and left him out.
@Suus26 That’s got nothing to do with breaking the rules of F1 racing, we all know why he didn't pit. How ridiculous you would say that.
His car was the greatest im f1 history 😂
That must be why bottas won just as many races.....
.oh wait!
He has won with 2 different cars
Throughout his career he's won in junk, only when he went to McLaren in F1 was he in a car good enough to win races, even going to Mercedes was a bold move, people forget, Mercedes were were a mid-table team when he left McLaren and joined them.
Same goes for Verstappen, Schumacher, Senna and Prost then
@@bannjaxx Lewis knew the Mercedes hybrid engine was faster and better than the rest of the field that's why he left mcLaren.
That's why I love him!
The problem is you can’t really compare the classics. Who knows how good they would be nowadays
Asshat. The correct answer is "No. I'm glad to be in the conversation, but it's impossible to compare drivers of different eras, and with the likes of Clarke, Senna, Schumacher etc in the mix, it would be unrealistic to pronounce one GOAT in F1 at all - a hall of fame would be about as sspecificas you could get."
GREAT DAD ADVISE!!!
YEAH YOU!!!
Lewis Hamilton is N O T the greatest F1 driver ever. Not even close
Prost beat Lauda, Senna beat Prost, Schumacher beat Senna, Alonso beat Schumacher, Hamilton beat Alonso.
@@walterhofer937 and Max beat Lewis.
Also : Schummi didn’t beat Senna. Senna died 🙏🏻
@@The.Dark.Dominion. Schumi beat Senna 1992.
FIA & LM beat Lewis
@@walterhofer937 No , Max beat Lewis, twice.
Also Lewis himself with his poor driving and not being able to get a mediocre car to do what he wants. Meanwhile George is doing waaaaay better.
End of this season Mercedes will not offer Lewis a new contract, mark my words ☝🏻😊
@@The.Dark.Dominion. Yes, I saved that under "VSI"
I love how well self educated this gentleman is x
Anyone can be the best when the FIA is behind you...
Not you, lol
I don't know what you're talking about, you try to say the FIA is behind Hamilton? If so, how do you explain Abu Dhabi 2021?
lmfao 😂😂 you are obviously taking the piss or else you're running around with a tinfoil hat on, paranoid off your head
@@dennissimon3220 The FIA has been behind Mercedes for years and the last race of 2021 was Karma Hamilton cut the corner and didn't give the place back and the stewards sided with Mercedes at Silverstone if that was any other driver that put Max into the wall they would of been given the BLACK FLAG not a 10 second penalty like Hamilton was
Yes that's why Max Queerstappen won his first title.
Lewis is undoubtedly one of the greatest of all time. But between eras it’s impossible to tell. What is for sure IMO is that he and Senna are the most inspiring to the regular people.
“What I’m DoInG on the track”
And then there was Max…
You new to f1 huh
@@jackrundkvist1899 we’ll played sir 🫣🤣☠️
obviously only watching F1 for past couple of years or since that drive to survive bs..
@@alicialim4318 I’m an F1 fan since 1980 and I can tell you that Max is the best driver ever.
@@NickName-nicknamehahahahahahahahha....Senna No.1
Perfect answer and yes he is the best of his era and could be the GoAt but so could Micheal
100% agree with this. They need to change up GOAT for F1 and use GOTE. Greatest of their era!
I am not a Lewis fan at all but I think Lewis is greater than Michael and don't forget Michael was dirty as fuck
@@Gus-ux4mmhe werent
@@ahe9658 what Michael dirty?
@Gus Michael actually had to fight for championships that's why,unlike Lewis who can only start from the front
definitely not when Schumacher was the best, but hybrid era he's the best.
Best way to stay humble and be the best
Miachel : hold my beer
Sure i would be the greatest if i had the fastest car 😅 oooooo how the tables have turned for him now
What about Juan Manuel Fangio,
five time world champion with four different cars (Ferrari, Maserati, Mercedes Bens and Alfa Romeo)
For his achievements, and wins, he is.
Excellent driver yes, greatest statistics ever yes. But is far away to being the GOAT. Without a super dominant car is just another good driver
Best driver gets the best car simple as
@@deadshotdaiquiri_4217 so you are saying Lewis with his 1 Championship and Rosberg and Bottas with barely a win between them got to drive for Mercedes and Vettel with 4 and Alonso with 2 championships, didn't. Quite honestly, what you have said is absolute bullshit
Well answered!
For me..LH took F1 to a different level when he started last on the grid and won the race (Guess it was Sau Paulo or Silverstone). Adore you LH. You are an inspiration.
Greatest F1 driver will always be Michael Schumacher. End of discussion
Pure class
Best dad ever
Senna......those cars were more mechanical and the drivers were a different breed
Like Manny Pacquia said. "Lets do the talking in the ring".... Legends are alike.
1000%. For anyone, let your work do the talking. Channel the negativity into positive results.
Ever the same things again, discrimination, victimization, bla bla bla.
The man who won a race on 3 wheels
Hell, no, the greatest drive of all time is Schumacher
Cool interview with Lewis greatest guy n racer
Greatest at hitting rear wheels.
I'm a massive fan of Lewis and you can't deny, he's the most successful f1 driver to live. When you mention the greatest though Schumacher pops in my head like a light bulb switch turning on. Schumachers body was that mangled after the crash, doctors said he would never walk again, never mind get back in an F1 car. He didn't just get back in the car, Shuey won another world championship! Shuey takes it for me still!
The dude had possibly the greatest car in F1 history and struggled against Nico Rosberg and George Russell (who drive the same car). Fangio, Senna, Schumacher were on another level
Machelllll Schumacher 🐐🐐🐐🐐🐐
Let's face it, when you had the fastest car and ability to drive, you will be good. That being said, look at the 23 season, not going so well for him because they don't have the car. Aston have a good car and even Stroll can perform well. I'd say F1 is 70% car and 30% driver. Also, I love how we bring racism into everything in life
Plus he has the organization backimg him up soooo, in this case more about the car an external support
