@@alexispennsylvaniaprobably meant as a comparis with other drivers who spend their whole (long) careers barely fighting for points... hulkenberg and magnussen would kill to have one of his disappointing seasons
I remember one interview (I think maybe at his 100th pole?) someone asked him where he keeps all the pole position awards, those signed tyres they give out to the pole sitter, and he said “I honestly don’t know I’ve got so many of them”
I still think he'd have a better chance at winning in Mercedes, Ferrari is too inconsistent, takes too long to fix problems and has atrocious strategy. Not saying Mercedes is perfect, but Ferrari has ended up making several WDCs and WDC-capable drivers end up crying of frustration for the past 15 years for a reason.
@@davidstinger1134 yeah, but I think Lewis is not any of those other drivers. He's had a very respectful, very collaborative relationship with Mercedes because they listened to him in the past and they won a lot. You have to remember that Lewis is STILL the only Black man on the grid, and as a result he's very conscious of how he interacted with others in the past because people are racist as fuck - ESPECIALLY in F1. But now, he's in the last few years of what has been an INCREDIBLE career, and he's slowly turning into Kimi. He doesn't give a shit, and he WILL tell Ferrari to go pound sand if they don't listen to him. Consider the fact that he actually has a deeper relationship with Ferrari personnel than most people realize, and they will probably give him the kind of leeway that even someone like Leclerc has not gotten thus far.

Lewis has gotten hate, some from me as a Ferrari fan in the past. Honestly, when he says he could see where the team was going reminds me of the McLaren success of the early 2000s to their descent and he was there and experienced it already. Now he’s seeing it happen to Mercedes.

Can you imagine what a big hit it will be if he wins it with Ferrari? Not only the first driver with 8 championships, but winning with Ferrari after so many years! Lewis knew exactly what he did! I hope it will work!!
Hamilton has his eyes on the 2026 engine regulation changes. And Ferrari is the only manufacturer that won't have to change its engine back from a split turbo design, like Mercedes and Honda/RBPR will have to do. Which is already an advantage to Ferrari with their conventional engine design. And considering the evolution of the Ferrari, so far it's the only team that was close and beat RedBull in this era besides Mercedes. So aerodynamically its not far off either. Imagine the story if he can win his 8th (9th tbh), with Ferrari and be the one to reclaim their former glory?! The only driver to win a WDC with 3 different constructors?! That would seal the G.O.A.T. debate in F1 for certain. (Imo he's already the greatest, but this would convince even the strongest naysayers).
Alonso drove midfield cars for over half of his career and he still endured, I doubt hamilton would've survived mclaren honda. We are fortunate to have seen a talent like lewis not being wasted by bad choices
The one thing that comes with an excessive amount of success (i.e.greatness) is that we always hate them now (for winning a lot), but miss them when they're gone (for the skill it takes to do so). Just appreciate Lewis & his contribution to the sport (love him or hate him) in the time that he has left before retiring (as with Stewart, Piquet, Senna, Prost, & Shumacher). & What a career it has been! I'm just going to enjoy a hopefully rejuvenated Lewis in possibly his last stint in F1 with Ferrari 25' (we all know that this season is Max's to lose). Whether he wins another world championship or not, having a competitive Lewis on the grid again is good for the sport as a whole. As a F1 fan in general I wish him the best regardless.
@@nonegone7170it’s certainly not the exact car merc made but it uses that concept. A concept that lewis thought was bad even tho he has zero knowledge of engineering so why is he even saying anything to begin with. Dudes ego needs some checking
@@Alumnikiid It is a zero sidepod concept, they will run zeropod in japan. They simply adapt to each track. And mercedes being schooled by an energy drinks company is.... 😂😂😂😂
The moment an important piece of the puzzle in the team is gone, every dominant team so far has crumbled. McLaren with Honda leaving in the 90s. Ferrari with Schumacher and Brawn leaving in 07’. RB with Renault changing management that caused Newey to become less involved with development in 14’. Now it’s Mercedes with Allison leaving that possibly caused the team to go to the wrong concept in the first place.
People have bad memories. Merc was built off of the corpse of Brawn when it was already a great team. Merc had started hybrid engine r&d for F1 as early as 09. They had poached billions in top engineers from 09-14. They had Schumacher in the seat to help guide the team alongside Lauda as a executive to help reign in Totos stupid shit. They had secret tire tests to help shore up their weakness and were never punished. They had FRIC as an advantage till others caught up then it was banned. Numerous mid season tire pressure and compound changes to benefit their tire wear. Competitiors were smacked out when they gained advantages, Ferraris 15-17 Aero and the Ferrari 19 engine were good examples of that. Could go on and on about how Toto and LH were just gifted 8 free years of wins. Now with Lauda gone and Toto fully in the reigns we see what the team is, a bunch of frauds.
The fact that Mercedes didn't listen 7X WDC Goat Lewis Hamilton on his feedback is unbeliviable. They get cocky. Lewis might not be an engineer but his body feels where the car is wrong. He fucking beat expected maximum pole lap in Singapore '18. Simulation is one thing, real life is one thing and thats where everything matters.
The ending is a blast. The conversation with Toto, the chemistry between them... Everything is written on their faces, and the writing is: It's done. Mercedes is a garbage this year. Again. So Hamilton was right to take his chances somewhere else.
Lewis: “I can’t really remember winning, to be honest.” 103 wins, ranking up win year by year since 2007 and then BAM! 2 years, going on 3 of winning nothing. That line just hits different. :(
@NavF1..yes,that's why he's looking for another seat in ferrari in the end of his circuit career..but i never feel wondered..he's still want his carreer in the future ..but Toto Wolf gives him warning👌
Lewis shouldn't complain in my opinion even though Max's era is statistically the most boring in history because its the most dominant against the least competitive grid, consisting of only 2 other World Champions. I'll give him that. Lewis battled the likes of Massa, Schumacher, Raïkkonen, Alonso, Button, Vettel and multiple other World Championship drivers. His debut season and the season after he fought World Champions like Kimi in the rain. "Silver War" was one of the best rivalries. "Silver vs Red" was one of the most competitive rivalries from 17 to 19. The Bulls were faster at certain tracks in 2020 and Checo can in no way be compared to the teammates that Lewis had. Even now he picks Leclerc for next year which is insane by itself because Leclerc is arguably the next best driver behind Max, Alonso and Hamilton. We also have more races and Max would've had 19 straight wins by now if he won in Singapore. He has a 2 to 4 second lead within 6 laps and he only faces competition literally at the start of the race till the first corner.
If I mean IF Scuderia can fulfill his wishes and demands that Mercedes failed to makes it really show that it not his performance inclined but what if is not enough.
I hope he gets his eighth. Love Max and what he and RB accomplished in the past 2 years and will most probably continue to display this year, but everyone knows 2021 was a robbery.
It’s easy for him to be harsh to the team. The car is bad and he just kept riding that narrative. With hindsight it’s easy to say “see I was right” if he had been wrong he’d just be like “cool we are winning”
he's literally been in a top 1-3 car his entire career... dont think anyone else has had that. Max was winning races and scoring podiums in a car that was singificantly slower than the Mercs and 2017-2018 ferrari's.
It's just so plain obvious that none of you have ever or will ever relate to the feeling of being *this* close of doing something truly remarkable despite the fact that you got bullied off track all season long and then that same bully gets gifted the title in the last lap of the race. So yea, I don't blame you, you still make a fool out of yourself tho.
Well if only he didn’t press onto that brake magic button in Baku in 2021,, then the last lap at Abu doesn’t matter, Because Max got zero points that day and had Lewis finished even p2 he wins,, it’s the accumulation of a season so many people always look at that last lap of Abu which I’ve never had a problem with,, it would of been a shame had that season finished under safety car…
I’d love to see him win with Ferrari. I used to support anyone but Hamilton because I was tired of his dominance, but the Max era has really lacked drama.
I was fairly shredded my whole life and muscular currently mid 40s. When covid/ health issues/life hit extra hard in 2020 the fitness left; I cannot remember having an 8-pack 😂 Yes it was only 3 ish years ago, but when your whole life has a decades long pattern a 2 or 3 year disruption is like eternity
I dont like lewis at all but damn this is sad. He is a top notch driver who is super consistent and makes minimal mistake. He is the guy u can trust to deliver when given the right machinery but damn watching him say " these are precious years for me" is sad. Started watching f1 during the start of Mercedes dominance era and i never thought i would see lewis in a state like this
No hate to the guy, amazing what he achieved, but newer drivers like George & Charles need to beat him so the sport moves forward. Otherwise, give him the 2nd RB, & tell everyone else to pack up.
I think Lewis knows that unless things fall apart at Red Bull severely (there is still chance of that happening considering recent events) that he is never gonna win another championship. Some races maybe, but I think the reason he went to Ferrari was because he knows its his last chance to go there and most drivers do want to drive Ferrari in their F1 career at some point.
Not a fan of Hamilton but you've got to feel for him. The man is hugely talented, one of the best on the grid, but he can't make the car less dogshite.
i think his first goal should be to hust stay in the mix Looking at the points board shouldnt be a problem Other than quali hes a lot better than charles
So Merc designed teh W15 after Lewis his likes and preferences ... after FP2 every body claimen , thats what you get when you listen to lewis ...and then qualifying , P9 and P7 in the race ...even worse as last year ... lol ... feel sorry for all those Tifosi in 2025 ...
This may come as a shock to you, but Lewis Hamilton didn't design the W15. He's a driver, not a fucking engineer. All he can do is give feedback on the current car, and things he'd like changed in the new car, but he doesn't design shit.
@@TreyMotesHe was literally crying that the engineers did not listen to him. Now he does not design the car? The feedback Max and George give seems to work.
Telling Lewis Hamilton of all people that he was wrong? Evidently there was a major row within the team or they were genuinely that stupid. Anyway, all drivers should aim to stick with it as long as they can. AJ Foyt did.
Mate lewis has had gis moments since he joined f1. Ik its extremely hard to take when your rivals outperform you bit come on lewis you had your time. Ik ur getting frustrated but you had your time. Maybe you get that 8th or not is smt unknown but you've had your time mate. Lewis is probably the most luckiest F1 driver ive ever seen in F1
I see the exact same thing with Max as I did with Lewis. Both sets of fans say that their driver would win in a slow car, that it's not the car, honestly, the more things change, the more they stay the same.

he know th redbull 4 year domination of seb
yet he still was able to fight and win at LEAST a race during that era
@@sajeucettefoistunevaspasme because RB was only dominant for 1.5 seasons. That era was far more competitive than any other era you can think of.
@@sandalphoncpuRecency bias. It really wasn't that competitive.
3:49 the time he decides to move to Ferrari
The W14 was such a great looking car
Forza, King Lewis... the Tifosi and I are rooting for you to reclaim that stolen 8th World Championship; we know YOU have got it in you!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉
I need to take back the championship that was taken from me.
Alonso has entered the chat
What about give back the championship that was taken from Massa? 😅
And leaves immediately since he got no groove
@@lea2666 nobody took anything from Massa. If Massa didn't spin like a wet ballerina in Silverstone he would've won.
The moment an important piece of the puzzle in the team is gone, every dominant team so far has crumbled. McLaren with Honda leaving in the 90s. Ferrari with Schumacher and Brawn leaving in 07’. RB with Renault changing management that caused Newey to become less involved with development in 14’. Now it’s Mercedes with Allison leaving that possibly caused the team to go to the wrong concept in the first place.
People have bad memories. Merc was built off of the corpse of Brawn when it was already a great team. Merc had started hybrid engine r&d for F1 as early as 09. They had poached billions in top engineers from 09-14. They had Schumacher in the seat to help guide the team alongside Lauda as a executive to help reign in Totos stupid shit. They had secret tire tests to help shore up their weakness and were never punished. They had FRIC as an advantage till others caught up then it was banned. Numerous mid season tire pressure and compound changes to benefit their tire wear. Competitiors were smacked out when they gained advantages, Ferraris 15-17 Aero and the Ferrari 19 engine were good examples of that. Could go on and on about how Toto and LH were just gifted 8 free years of wins.
Now with Lauda gone and Toto fully in the reigns we see what the team is, a bunch of frauds.
@@Swad-cf8nclot of this seems like conjecture
@@Swad-cf8nclol a lot of bs coming from you 😂😂any chance you are a red bull fan
Not just Allison. Mercedes has lost tons of key personnel over recent years.
I dare say Aldo Costa leaving was more detrimental
Tbh they did take away the championship from him. But it's no doubt that Max deserved to win, both were phenomenal.
toto looks like hes about to cry
If mercedes listned to lewis in the 23 season, the car this year might have been one of the top 3 cars on the grid.
The fact that Mercedes didn't listen 7X WDC Goat Lewis Hamilton on his feedback is unbeliviable. They get cocky. Lewis might not be an engineer but his body feels where the car is wrong. He fucking beat expected maximum pole lap in Singapore '18. Simulation is one thing, real life is one thing and thats where everything matters.
Great timing icl
3:41 Adrian Newey did
The ending is a blast. The conversation with Toto, the chemistry between them... Everything is written on their faces, and the writing is: It's done. Mercedes is a garbage this year. Again. So Hamilton was right to take his chances somewhere else.
Anyone know the music at 2:17?
The thumbnail and title of this video made me bust out laughing. Poor Lewis 😂
Lewis: “I can’t really remember winning, to be honest.”
103 wins, ranking up win year by year since 2007 and then BAM! 2 years, going on 3 of winning nothing. That line just hits different. :(
makes me happy :)
@@quigglyz imagine caring this much.
Merc. Cant’ buy championships anymore.
Please give this guy a McLaren Honda! 😂
Toto : The concept of the car is never gonna work!
Newey : Hold my RedBull for a sec....
What the hell is that green SpongeBob?
He’s still wildly humble considering he went from all-time machinery to upper midfield, he has the patience of a saint
There is nothing humble about this hypocrite who yaps about climate change and stop oil, only to be in a speed boat and fly a private jet.
Merc fucked the car with wind tunnel testing, and then made it so George looked good.
@NavF1..yes,that's why he's looking for another seat in ferrari in the end of his circuit career..but i never feel wondered..he's still want his carreer in the future ..but Toto Wolf gives him warning👌
This dude has so many haters majority of the comments are people who aren’t fond of him 😂 yo where the Lewis fans at??
Im not TeamLH, but i would love to see Lewis get his 8th title. All our hope is on Fred now.
Hamilton: make the car faster
Mercedes: dont you think we are trying?
“I don’t remember what winning feels like.”
Neither did the rest of the grid during 2014-2020
atleast the other driver still winning..now it's only max and perez or any other driver unless max is out of race of car issues
When lewis almost crushed onto Alonso, Alonso saying he can only drive from pole position
Lewis shouldn't complain in my opinion even though Max's era is statistically the most boring in history because its the most dominant against the least competitive grid, consisting of only 2 other World Champions. I'll give him that. Lewis battled the likes of Massa, Schumacher, Raïkkonen, Alonso, Button, Vettel and multiple other World Championship drivers. His debut season and the season after he fought World Champions like Kimi in the rain. "Silver War" was one of the best rivalries. "Silver vs Red" was one of the most competitive rivalries from 17 to 19. The Bulls were faster at certain tracks in 2020 and Checo can in no way be compared to the teammates that Lewis had. Even now he picks Leclerc for next year which is insane by itself because Leclerc is arguably the next best driver behind Max, Alonso and Hamilton. We also have more races and Max would've had 19 straight wins by now if he won in Singapore. He has a 2 to 4 second lead within 6 laps and he only faces competition literally at the start of the race till the first corner.
Toto: Found you’re lack of faith disturbing
If I mean IF Scuderia can fulfill his wishes and demands that Mercedes failed to makes it really show that it not his performance inclined but what if is not enough.
I hope he gets his eighth. Love Max and what he and RB accomplished in the past 2 years and will most probably continue to display this year, but everyone knows 2021 was a robbery.
It’s easy for him to be harsh to the team. The car is bad and he just kept riding that narrative. With hindsight it’s easy to say “see I was right” if he had been wrong he’d just be like “cool we are winning”
but he was right, soo I guess your point doesn't matter
bro have 7 world champion and bro says that not enough
The unnecessary hate that he receives reminds me of the hate that Bubba (Wallace) gets in NASCAR, and we all know the main reason for it.
Newey made the care concept work :p
I thought his team "Doesn't Make Mistakes".😂
We Know what We are Doing! You are Wrong , Lewis…… No One Ever Said!!! Holy Hell!!
looking back after he's now won twice and actually COULD win his 8th with a bit of luck is a bit surreal
George hasn’t had a terrible time in the car.
Nice to see it's not just team LH but the man himself that still can't get over Abu Dhabi 2021 😂
he's literally been in a top 1-3 car his entire career... dont think anyone else has had that.
Max was winning races and scoring podiums in a car that was singificantly slower than the Mercs and 2017-2018 ferrari's.
Makes sense they stole the title. Then told him yea we did it lol cant change it now.
It's just so plain obvious that none of you have ever or will ever relate to the feeling of being *this* close of doing something truly remarkable despite the fact that you got bullied off track all season long and then that same bully gets gifted the title in the last lap of the race. So yea, I don't blame you, you still make a fool out of yourself tho.
Yeah hes a bitter sour loser
Well if only he didn’t press onto that brake magic button in Baku in 2021,, then the last lap at Abu doesn’t matter, Because Max got zero points that day and had Lewis finished even p2 he wins,, it’s the accumulation of a season so many people always look at that last lap of Abu which I’ve never had a problem with,, it would of been a shame had that season finished under safety car…
I’d love to see him win with Ferrari. I used to support anyone but Hamilton because I was tired of his dominance, but the Max era has really lacked drama.
Bro says he doesn’t remember winning like 2020 & Saudi 2021 wasn’t long ago
Saudi 2021 is 2 years, gonna be 3 years this year. Thats a long time but it doesnt feel like it.
I was fairly shredded my whole life and muscular currently mid 40s. When covid/ health issues/life hit extra hard in 2020 the fitness left; I cannot remember having an 8-pack 😂
Yes it was only 3 ish years ago, but when your whole life has a decades long pattern a 2 or 3 year disruption is like eternity
Bro got McLaren flashbacks
I dont like lewis at all but damn this is sad. He is a top notch driver who is super consistent and makes minimal mistake. He is the guy u can trust to deliver when given the right machinery but damn watching him say " these are precious years for me" is sad. Started watching f1 during the start of Mercedes dominance era and i never thought i would see lewis in a state like this
but he says he never gives up
Such a likeble person Lewis . You cant root againt this guy . My favorite driver will drive for my favorite team in 2025 ❤
Anyone seen Hamilton racing during the start of this F1 season in Bahrain
"When the car is terrible, I feel helpless"
You better start praying that Ferrari would miraculously fix their car next year, Lewis
checking.....still checking
it just looks like the build up to the Ferrari move
Now red bull are dominating 2024 with the Mercedes concept 😂
Lmao when Red Bull has a whole new design
No hate to the guy, amazing what he achieved, but newer drivers like George & Charles need to beat him so the sport moves forward. Otherwise, give him the 2nd RB, & tell everyone else to pack up.
No way. I love the fact that you can still compete into your late 30/mid40s. They need to expand the field, not bury elite talent.
Hamilton or alonso to RB give the ppl what they want
@@ThePotentialFailure Hamilton AND Alonso to RB would be awesome to watch.
@@kenpachi1989i can see a red bull disqualification in the constructors championship
Both George and Charles beat him yesterday...
Hamilton's only good when his car has a 7 year engine development advantage : )
And bro decided to go to Ferrari like that will change things.
I think Lewis knows that unless things fall apart at Red Bull severely (there is still chance of that happening considering recent events) that he is never gonna win another championship. Some races maybe, but I think the reason he went to Ferrari was because he knows its his last chance to go there and most drivers do want to drive Ferrari in their F1 career at some point.
Not a fan of Hamilton but you've got to feel for him. The man is hugely talented, one of the best on the grid, but he can't make the car less dogshite.
Lewis Getting some Rude awakening when teams get the concept wrong... he got spoiled for sure with the Mercedes Domination Era...
He should ask alonso 😂
Eventhough say ferrari has competitive car nxt yr, It will not be easy for him to beat charles .
I wonder what the excuses will be.
i think his first goal should be to hust stay in the mix
Looking at the points board shouldnt be a problem
Other than quali hes a lot better than charles
If Lewis can beat Spain he can. Eat Charles
after all the shit have done... 38sec margin russel to max. drop your knees MERC and begged to Ross brawn to come back as THE last resort
«Taken from me» he lost it😹
If that’s what you call a robbery
@@Danielsjordan05he lost, if he pitted he would have won, bad call my mercedes.🤣
@@thomasulleland2221 and if the safety car came out he would have won, we can can play the what if game if you want
@@Danielsjordan05the safety car came out🤣🤣 and he still lost. What are u om about🤣
@@thomasulleland2221 that’s kinda what the whole 2021 scandal is about the safety car, are you dumb
You could play bingo with the world Terrible here
So Merc designed teh W15 after Lewis his likes and preferences ... after FP2 every body claimen , thats what you get when you listen to lewis ...and then qualifying , P9 and P7 in the race ...even worse as last year ... lol ... feel sorry for all those Tifosi in 2025 ...
This may come as a shock to you, but Lewis Hamilton didn't design the W15. He's a driver, not a fucking engineer. All he can do is give feedback on the current car, and things he'd like changed in the new car, but he doesn't design shit.
@@TreyMotesHe was literally crying that the engineers did not listen to him. Now he does not design the car? The feedback Max and George give seems to work.
Telling Lewis Hamilton of all people that he was wrong? Evidently there was a major row within the team or they were genuinely that stupid.
Anyway, all drivers should aim to stick with it as long as they can. AJ Foyt did.
Poor Lewis
“Why is that not me”
Can they stop with this sad violin crap like honestly
This is the least sad story in f1 history
why netflix try to do that fake shit...he never wanted to go to Aston Martin
Mate lewis has had gis moments since he joined f1. Ik its extremely hard to take when your rivals outperform you bit come on lewis you had your time. Ik ur getting frustrated but you had your time. Maybe you get that 8th or not is smt unknown but you've had your time mate. Lewis is probably the most luckiest F1 driver ive ever seen in F1
Someday max will be in this situation, so enjoy the history being made today
I see the exact same thing with Max as I did with Lewis. Both sets of fans say that their driver would win in a slow car, that it's not the car, honestly, the more things change, the more they stay the same.
@@Xiphactinus The RedBull was definitely slower than the Mercedes in the pivotal '21 season...
@@Xiphactinuseven drivers themselves say car is the biggest factor in winning. But that doesn't discount the skill required to actually turn potential into reality
@@thecompanioncube4211 completely agree, there's a reason Max and Lewis get the best cars (hint: they're both actually quite good).
Do we have any footage of Lewis Hamilton not losing faith in Mercedes in DTS season 6?
