Take my word for this, people will dearly miss him after he retires and they’ll realise that this man shaped Formula 1 in special ways. Massive respect for him.
miss him by definitely not his fan base.
Definitely! He made f1 relevant to the masses!
@@philippederosierjr.2319 facts especially in America and African countries like Kenya and South Africa they got into f1 mostly because they heard of him from other celebs
Spot on
Nah lmao
Considering the hate and abuse this guy gets. All he is so soft spoken never swears or yells even to his team when they mess up. Appreciate the fans. Never perfect, but always striving to not only be a better driver, but a better human being! Looking forward to what more he will continue to archive! Still Rise Sir Lewis Hamilton!
You say he never yells but I'll always remember his "Oh no" in Malaysia 2016. I felt that.
He literally yells at Bono every race😂I get what you mean though
Calling a car “undrivable” is to mechanics what “not enjoyable to watch” is to a comedian.
That’s not just a “yell”, that’s the most fundamental insult imaginable. Especially considering he was driving the car while calling it “undriveable”.
It wasn’t about the message, it was about blaming others in unreasonable language. Even Sky analysts found it all a bit much.
That was merely one recent instance. But if you prefer to ignore those and believe in a myth, go right ahead. I used to do the same before realising I was only fooling myself.
Love this. Plain and simple. Max will never be a Lewis. This is what he lacks.
@@valkenburgert really? I mean seriously "the car is undrivable" is the best you came up with. See people like you just prove my point. People literally have to either make stuff or make these insane ridiculous claims as false equivalents of how lewis behaves compared to other drivers.
The car was undrivable because It was porposing, making it dangerous to drive. This was just a fact which the WHOLE TEAM agreed on. Not only that other teams and FIA agree that porposing is an issue that is dangerous they are implementing rules to stop it. But oh how dare lewis says a porposing car is undrivable. And that statement isn't even meant for mechanics. It was a design flaw not a mechanical one.
By the way most if not all drivers say this. Max says it all the time when his car is not performing as it should. Charles Sainz Alonso Russell recently said it. And there is nothing wrong with it they are simply stating what they feel about the car, and engineers and mechanics simply make it better. Thats it. So stop making a big deal out of a non issue here.
I know I am wasting my time trying to explain this because you made up your mind and will just come up with other stuff. Lewis is not perfect but he does not deserve the amount of hate and abuse he recives. Nobody deserves that hate and abuse. Nobody!
Lewis is a national treasure and a great role model. I hope he stays around to win an 8th title. Whether we have to wait another 1-3 seasons, it will be absolutely incredible when it happens.
Of course he is. Working for US propaganda for free lol.
Yes, Lewis is amazing! 8th will come, for sure!
The 8th title would be the icing, but he's already the GOAT. Statistically, he's the best to ever drive, and a man with conviction to boot.
We love you.. Lewis... My son watched you race since you started... Go well.. 😘💖
Well, yes.. You mean his 9th title? :P
Max Verstappen fan here, but with nothing but utter respect for this man. I rooted for him when he first came into f1, as well as when he was fighting Rosberg. It’s a shame there’s so much animosity between Lewis fans and Max fans after last year, they’re generational talents. I hope the true motorsports fans can appreciate both of these guys in years to come.
To be fair, those "fans" aren't really Max's fans. They are just anti-LH fans. Real fans of F1, or any sport rather, appreciate talent, well spoken and intelligent pioneers of sport. Those people are just living pathetic hateful and ignorant lives. No need to even acknowledge them.They aren't adding anything valuable to society.
@@stevePDx they are F1 hooligans like we see in football bringing the game in disrepute
@@stevePDx not absolutely fair to say that they aren’t Max’s fans. Max has a very commanding presence in the sport and inspires so many fans so to speak. But ya, it’s true that the newer guys discovering F1 are not respectful of the spirit of the sport, which is sad.
It's refreshing to read a positive comment like this. I'm in awe of all the drivers, in my view, Lewis is the best but Max is another huge talent. It's possible he could one day threaten Hamilton's records.
@@paulguitar100 I hope so too and I am Hamilton fan but F1 fan first.I do hope Max does not suffer same sabotage Lewis suffered. Records are there to breakand not to preserve legacy [of MS] as they claimed. We are seeing Max maturing infront of our eyes...
I was traumatized with that 2021 F1 ending and I wasn’t even driving the car. Big ups Lewis for coming back stronger and focused!!! #teamLH
Hello fan thanks for your love ❤️and support what’s your name and where are you from ?
I hope you’re not disappointed about my last Race 🙂
Puts things into perspective when his worst season to date includes several podiums, which many drivers would consider an outstanding season.
To be fair Hamilton had the best cars in history and was capable of winning more championships with it but he didn’t
@melle , you’re just sour
Every driver has? Especially verstappen, Perez and Bottas in past years, Verstappen has only jsyt won it after quite a number of years however
@@mellevangils5350 I’ll agree that to be world champion you have to be with the right time at the right time because yes the better car will always have the highest chance to win. However to do so on a consistent basis. No mistakes race after race lap after lap to be world champion both once and multiple times
Lewis has one F1 championship he won while at McLaren and six Formula Mercedes Cup Championship.
The Formula Mercedes Cup was only for the Mercedes drivers with their dominant cars between the
years 2014 to 2020 as they had no competition other than their teammates and no team could compete
with Mercedes. Very much like the Toyota Le Mans wins with no other LMP Hybrid competition.
Way too many people overlook this fact, Mercedes basically bought their championship by outspending
all other teams. Why do you think they implemented budget caps. The driver who finished third
between those years was really the F1 championship winner.
People give him a lot of shit but Hamilton has always seemed pretty genuine. Even more so now that he is a veteran and the fact that he is always encouraging young drivers like Ocon, Lando, George, Gasly etc.
But shit for what though? He’s probably the nicest bloke in the sport!
@@the___truth8038 People just seemed to always undermine his driving ability because he was winning and was in a good car. They also think he just cares about PR because he does a lot of activism etc.
Most of the hate towards Hamilton comes from racists.
Even Max and Charles
Alonso hard racing with him-> dangerous driving.
Perez hard racing with him -> dangerous driving.
Max overtakes him -> this race is manipulated
Him telling the team to choose strategy for him which didn’t work out -> the strategy hasn’t been kind to me
Not mentioning the countless times he throws the team under the bus after losing the race…
Yes, sound like a genuine guy to me.
This interview demonstrates why he was Knighted. A great role model and ambassador for F1.
Big ego, fake personality. Glad he will retire soon
a bit boring...
Should never get a knighthood for driving a car
@@jamesgreen8573 He wasn't knighted for only 'driving a car'.
@@paulguitar100 if he wasn’t a driver would he have been knighted ?
Gonna be extremely sad when Lewis does retire, we're lucky to have witnessed a guy change racing the way he has.
Once he leaves F1 community will exhale in relief. Lewis is toxic.
@@Di.Iv.555 You speak absolute nonsense!!.
@@liamthompson2604 don't bother about "blond guy with green eyes". He is a racist troll.
@@Di.Iv.555 Really, crikey, honestly, luckily for you "ridiculous doesn't kill", because calling yourself "the blond guy with the green eyes" How ridiculous is that. Ha Ha Ha. LOL
@@liamthompson2604 I think that probably " speaking absolute nonsense" is part of his job. Some peopleon these chats get paid to gaslight others.
No way F1 would’ve been able to pivot and become modern and cool without him. Little things like the Mercedes x Tommy collab, even wearing jewelry. I think he showed a whole generation of drivers that it’s okay to show your personality, even though the previous owners desperately wanted the opposite
Truth!💯Watching F1 before Lewis was so dull and whitebread!😴 Lewis was ‘different’ and showed everyone that being yourself and expressing yourself was ok! When he’s gone, it will go back to the usual dull white boy’s club!🤮
Bullshit, never heard of James Hunt, Nelson Piquet or Eddie Irvine? What Hamilton did was bringing far left politics to F1.
@@tygobermind3640 cringe af comment.
@@tygobermind3640 Hamilton did not bring far left politics to F1 Others who dislike him did. Senna J Hunt did not have today's internet exposure. They treated women pretty badly. What NP did or said and then had today's exposure, he woulld have been a toast before he insulted NM's wife or physically attacked fellow driver even before the helmet off their heads
@@blackgirlsrock264 how old are you? F1 was far more exciting in the 60's and 70's. A time when 1 out of 5 drivers would die in accidents on the track every season.
The first race I went to was Monaco in 2001 whilst working as a contiki tour driver, along with 17 passengers and wow hooked .I’ve been an F1 fanatic since I was 19, I’m 47 now and have been a huge fan since 2007, Lewis’s first f1 season. What a journey it has been.
A true great of the sport and the goat in many ways. Such a good human. I love the new breed , Lando George max Daniel etc but this man will go down in history like Schumacher and Niki as a god amoungst the rest. Keep rising Sir Lewis . Much respect from a kiwi living in australia
One of the greatest F1 drivers of all time, very humble person. I hope he doesn’t retire anytime soon.
Props to the interviewer for asking actual tough questions
What he seemed to avoid very carefully however is his opinion about Max (or I must have missed it) Very polite, very British, very careful.
Who's your favourite royal?
I very nearly stopped watching right there.
Hello fan thanks for your love and
support what's your name and where are you from? I hope you're not disappointed about my last Race in Singapore 🇸🇬
@@Abraham58 Nice to see that you have time for RUclips
@@swampthing94 lol I’m just a free man so lives his life simple, how did you come Across me and F1 ?
This just goes to show that those people that hate on Lewis really know very little about the guy. It’s so sad how the media including social media have managed to cultivate such animosity towards him. I’ve followed Lewis since F3 and it saddens me how polarized our society has become
People dislike him because he has fake personality
I hate Lewis for who he is, how he acts, the things he says. It's not influenced by the media at all.
He will never be forgiven for what he did at Silverstone last year.
And while he knows he was guilty of the accident, hence the penalty, he still won't apologize for it.
For absolute no reason he recently even claimed in the media that it was all Max his fault and that the other drivers are so much better.
The whole world knows this is complete and utter b.s.
The fact that he states this is pure toxic fuel for his fans.
He is sticking to his lies to not loose face in front of his fans.
This is something we saw with Donald Trump as well.
To quote him: "The more you repeat it, the more they believe it."
Lewis and Trump are both like 5 your old kids.
Imagine a 5 year old stealing candy and you catching them do it.
As soon as you confront them they will try to manipulate you by denying the truth.
The amount of length they will go to to defend their truth is sickening if you do this as a grown up.
This sort of manipulative behavior is part of several personality disorders.
Lewis definitely suffers of at least one of them.
Always playing the victim.
Always manipulative.
Always a hidden agenda.
And you guys swallow it all like cake and follow him like a cult and worship him like he is some sort of god.
No one questions anything. No one ever doubts him.
This obsession is all absolutely mind boggling to me.
It's so absurd to me that I actually can't even believe this is happening.
Then again, I've seen teenage girls going absolute crazy over their favorite artist.
So I shouldn't be surprised with all of this.
I wish he was more like Max.
No double standards. Always completely honest.
You don't have to second guess anything he says. Always straight forward.
If you still can't see why people hate his guts, than it's all on you and I'm not even going to bother any more to try to open your eyes.
@@bearded_bastard I feel bad for you.
@@bearded_bastard have you considered counseling maybe. There’s a lot of bile in your life mate.
He owes everything, his whole life to a white man called Ron Dennis, Yet at any opportunity he praises and elevates the value of black people over whites and showed his true colours with his taking the knee for SHAM charity called BLM.
He is a racist and a fraud, I despise him
What this guy has endured through his life to get to F1 is just unbelievable. Not even talking about what he has done in F1. The work he does of the track and change he is driving within the sport is unbelievable. Easy to give money for a children’s charity when you have billions. But the issues he is tackling and the way he goes about it is great. He is a good human being.
He set up the commission with his own 20 million and now they have released the programm to get the underprevileged kids/women in UK coming in to the sport.
No he isn't. Especially when it comes to children. He spreads russophobia through his social do you know russian children got beaten at schools just cause they're russian? Even media reported it. And Lewis and people like him mixing Russia with dirt on their social fueled it, I very much doubt they were told to beat up their russian classmates by their parents not their idols on instagram saying russians are animals.
I'm not sure if he ever will be able to cover that hate he helped fuel through his posts with his millions which are btw is just another pair of fancy socks for him.
So don't make him a saint. He's either too stupid to understand the consequences of his public words, or just paid for it. Either way, not a definition of a good human being.
This guy is humble and calm despite getting lots of hate coming his way. It's not easy for a human to go through such 😕
The hate comes mostly from racists.
@@watchman1thewaycher169 And a lot of them are British F1 fans
@@watchman1thewaycher169 not liking or agreeing with Lewis and his views does not make you a racist.
That statement alone makes you ignorant.
@@bjrnchrstn Thats not what is been referred here, people are free to criticise constructively, say they don't like him, his attitude clothes etc. When they get nasty and bring a person's family into it or use derogatory terms is where you, I and any right thinking person should object strongly.
@@bjrnchrstn Bro people commented monkey emojis last year about Lewis when things didn't go Max way especially when he won the controversial DC . Tell me now if that's not racist . Nobody has ever referred to a white driver as a pink pig or used the emojis to attack Them
Sir Lewis is truly an inspiration for me in so many personal levels and I’m twice his age… An exceptional man! Looking forward to this and next seasons success and his humanitarian endeavours. Awesome!

Thank you Lewis for being a great role model to everyone, from the very young to older guys like me (57)! You and George continue to be a class act. Thank you for your positive attitude and good sportsmanship.
A man spreading hate towards an entire nation through his media cause his government told him so is not a role model for most of people in the world, who support Russia btw, In case you didn't know.

The numbers never lie. Lewis is one of the all time greats - and that's as good as it gets.
He has made it onto the very short list of "greatest of all time".
Well done Lewis.
So nice to see and hear Sir Lewis Hamilton. Millions love and look up to him and millions inspired by Sir Lewis Hamilton. Take care and stay safe Sir Lewis Hamilton and let's goooo..... HAMMER TIME. 🙏🖤☝️
No one can deny his talent,
He really seems quite calm
A true legend of F1,
And he is not done yet!
Yes he’s not done yettt!!!😊
The fact that he called him ‘CHAMP’ at the end says it all! Lewis is and always will be the ULTIMATE CHAMPION.
This felt more like a genuine conversation than an interview. I loved it. Also the scenery added an ambience of calm to his questions for Lewis. I'm not gonna lie; I enjoy Hamilton for different reason than why I enjoy Max, Alonso, Charles and Gasly (my other favourite drivers).
Lewis is a legend! And deserves much respect !
Based on his achievements, I would say yes.
Yeah Blah Blah Blah
Sir Whiney Lewis
Wasn't he Complaining the car is Undriveable n Literally Crawl out of the car like Grandpa ?
Ofcourse he's good, but not legendary. Schumacher left the best team after winning the championship, moved to a struggling Ferrari and built the team up from the ground together with people he gathered around him. He had to fight 4 years there before achieving the most dominant winning streak in F1 history with 5 driver championships in a row. At the same time he was a leading force in making F1 safer and because of that definitely saved a few lives. Now that's legendary.
@@mayena5735 hamiltons better than Schumacher so
@@davidemiloju6920 yes I agree he is a better complainer than Schumacher, great point.
Even as a massive Max fan I cannot understand why people don´t give Lewis the respect he deserves.

I first thought Ignite was involved with Dan Bilzerian, but after hearing the importance of what Ignite is, I'm way more stoked. Good job Lewis. You're a visionary and much more than a driver, which is greater than the rest of the pack by a large margin. I wear a Merc F1 hat during race weekends proudly.
GOAT simple as that. Sir Lewis a national treasure.

Hearing him in this interview still boggles my mind why there is hate continuing for him. He is truly genuine and humble and the greatest ambassador for this sport! People will undoubtedly realize how much of an impact he has on this sport when he retires( in 10 years of course lol jk just 5) . BTW I think he will have a very good chance at winning again if the new floor rules are implemented correctly to stop the unfair gains from 2 certain team 1 more so than the other. Time will tell. STILL WE RISE WITH SIR LEWIS!!
You have to listen what is is not saying! Than you know how he realy his!
@@sjefhendrickx2257 Stfu mate, your envy is clear for all to see. if you dont like him dont watch simple.

"if the new floor rules are implemented correctly to stop the unfair gains from 2 certain team 1 more so than the other." Oh come on now, for the first time in 8 years merc is not favored by the regulations and you start complaining. What about the unfair gain merc had with their engine that they lobbied to have implemented.
Lewis has brought the sport full circle. He has paid his dues with quiet conviction and ethic. He is the epitome of "overcoming so he can become." Thank you for being the person you are when the world is full of narcissistic scarecrows of human beings. 💜

He's nit even top 3, he's shit without the best car
@@michaeltrumph121 Lewis has had 5 teammates and he has outperformed them all for 12 out of 14 seasons. Hes just simply a great driver.
-Dominant karting career
-Mind-boggling performances in the junior categories
-Beat teammates such as Alonso (as a rookie), Button and Rosberg
-Won the 2008 title with the 3rdd best car
Of course he had dominant cars sometimes, LIKE ALL LEGENDS.

@@jurxzy facts. And he's had very strong teammates. All of them were highly rated. None of them were known as weak until they raced alongside him. He's the best of his era for me. The only one arguably better is Alonso but not for me
Listening to Lewis answering those questions - some tough ones btw - just proves once again how much of a balanced, humble and good character he is. Even though this season not being the prettiest so far, he`s not moaning or looking for the ones to blame. He`s been out there with team putting the hard work on every race week and trying to figure out that car.
And that`s why I am pretty confident that better days will come. ✌
He has monaned all season long so far, so wtf are you talking about ?!?
You hear what you want to hear from Lewis.
@@emerckx53 perhaps you’re projecting?
Everyone works hard. Lewis is extremely experienced. Knows what to say. Diplomatic. This is proof of that. Nothing else. How on earth is any of us able to say how he is without having met him once? He’s a legend. He’s extraordinarily talented and determined. That’s all we know for sure.
Lewis is ACTING like he is so ignorantly innocent, because he needs "the people" to think he is the perfect example of "a balanced, humble and good character".
I think he tries too hard.
But some people buy it.
The man is his generation's greatest driver by far. Amazing career.
No he’s not.
He might be the most successful but he isn’t the best of his generation
Nah, I like lewis but imo I'd put Schumacher and maybe even a few others ahead of him

Never have I ever seen a more humble and real person than sir lewis hamilton
Glad to hear from the 8 time world champ
He is such a kind soul
This is the modern goat of f1. Period. Senna and Hamilton are for me the best.
Definitely a great interview! You did the difficult questions and Lewis didn't miss answering any of them! Still you rise, Sir Goat! Love and respect!
I never understood why there are so many haters for this guy. He is very well spoken and, even though one may not agree with all his views, his arguments are thoughtful and legitimate. Apparently, he is truly humble and grateful for what life has given him, too. He is also a damn good driver, he may or may not be the GOAT in terms of absolute speed but he certainly is up there for discussion. I am starting to believe that its just because he is still active, this is why he does not get the respect he deserves. People are just fed up with him winning.
It's the racists who hate him.
Every time somebody wins, a hater is born
Yes you got it. People love to hate on greatness in the moment.
Let's imagine he continues racing for 4-5 years but doesn't come close to winning again I guarantee you will be much more liked. Just like Vettel for example.
And even if he does continue to win.. after his career is finished for some years people will appreciate him and people like us, that experienced his era will defend him against future drivers just like old fans now defend the likes of Senna and Schumacher against the current drivers. It's always like that.
@@ballislife9924 I agree 100% with your logic and examples.
@@ballislife9924 There is a lot of truth in what you're saying, and I agree 100%. But in the case of Lewis there is more to it, I am afraid. The animosity started when he constantly addressed Max in the press as 'that guy' A clear statement of disrespect towards a driver that entered F1 at the age of just seventeen. Also his Woke attitude at every occasion, especially when the cameras are rolling, annoys many people. He behaves like he is the Mother Theresa of the grid, but than one with God knows how many luxury houses, exclusive cars, a yard and even his own Yet. Of course there is nothing wrong with that if you can afford it, but when you like to give the impression that you are deeply concerned about all the poor and needy in this word, it makes people feel a bit uncomfortable, to say the least. Than his phoney kindness when he is interviewed . But he simply cannot give one single interview without having a sneer towards Max. Even in Silverstone he felt the need to say that he and Leclerc proved that it was possible to go through Copse with two cars, without crashing into each other. It was a poor intent to clear himself by putting the blame again on Max for that incident. All those things add up, especially in the Netherlands.Personally I think that is the reason he is not very popular here, not because he has been winning a lot. Maybe this has nothing to do with who he really is, but everything with how he presents himself.
Sunday's was the best for this season. Sir Hamilton "The Drip" put respect on a man that introduced many people into F1. Grateful to been able to witness his skill and when he retires he will be missed. So be thankful he is still racing classy man he is "
10:55 🥹😭 brought tears in my eyes, I knowww he’ll get there, we’re all with him no matter what, we’ve all come along way, we lose and win together, Hamilton needs us team LH ❤

support what's your name and where are you from? I hope you're not disappointed about my last Race in Singapore 🇸🇬.
I can’t stand the interviewer’s questions but Lewis handles everything with such calm, grace, and intelligence. He brings such a maturity and respectfulness to the sport and he’s doing his best to do good for the the sport + the world. I will forever be in love with his heart and in awe of his brain!
I love how he didn't lie in the first question, but rather the pause and the "it'll always be with me"... Mature
LH44 is indeed one of the best people to ever grace a sport - all genres included. He is such an inspiration and a perfect definition of RESILIENCE. I also must say great interview even to the interviewer. Asking relevant questions in a genuine manner.
For me it's nice to see him facing some adversity again. This feels like 2009 and I kinda like that. He's had some great battles because he's not been running away with it
This man is a legend! Humble as a person and the GOAT in F1. I'm neither British nor black but I sincerely admire this guy's achievements. Hats off!
To see such a champion take this so well shows his class and character. Look at Alonso what happened at McClaren it was a melt down. It takes a lot of character to handle this situation bravo Lewis I hope your in the sport for a few more yrs.
That’s not a good comparison McL let Alonso down for 4 years. Merc has supported Lewis in his best times, Lewis supporting them now seems fair.
Great job Steve and C4F1. Thanks for posting the full interview.
They're having this conversation sat amidst a field of the color purple. It's meaningful.
Listen to him. I truly love this champion!💜
Living legend 🙌🏾❤️
Not realy

Lewis's voice is so chilled and calming! He needs to do grown up bedtime stories 😆🥰
Great interview i can’t wait to see him back to his winning ways!! And hope he stays in F1 for as long as possible!
Lewis Hamilton you are simply the best! ❤️❤️
This is so inspirational, I miss him so much💜💜
I love this man ♥️, so humble and balanced
Brilliant interview, Sir Lewis is a living legend
He's an overrated joke.
@@michaeltrumph121 calling a 7 time world champion “overrated” time to watch a new sport mate
@@ButlerS97
He's just another average driver without the best car
@@michaeltrumph121 why you watching the video then?
@@ashley2429
Cause I get F1 content recomandations and wanted to see what this fraud says
I know I will realy miss him and not seeing him on the circuito I just can not immagine it . But when the time comes i wish Lewis the very very best in his future !!!
This guy is the best journalist. He is the only one who asks questions that are you dont know the answer to even before they are asked
So impressed with this man. Full respect.
Lewis is such a great role model and he will win this season. This man deserves everything that he has worked so hard for. Realizing the car isn’t the best and makes his car the test subject to project the car forward. Could’ve been selfish and forced it on George but he took it upon himself to find out the best setup and is now driving like his true self and getting the best result out of the car for the past couple weekends. Hopefully France is his chance to get on the top step.
Do you even hear what you are saying?
How does this all make sense to you?
Lewis wants to win.
Not because he wants to win, but because he want's to be seen as a winner.
This makes him feel secure and gives him the confidence that he can't find in himself.
Read up on psychology if you want to learn how these things work for some people.
Him being a guinea pig for test parts is because he want to be in control of the testing because he desperately wants to find something to make his car go faster and he doesn't believe Russel is up to the job. Being slow and losing to your teammate make you look like an average driver so it's also very convenient to pretend to be nobel.
So indeed very selfish of him.
So now that you have given it some thought, do you still believe he is a great role model and that he deserves everything? Or do you see the deceiving manipulative personality that he actually is?
What he says and what he does or think are 2 completely different things.
The interviewer is right though. W/ all the things that Mercedes has on hand and they still haven’t figured/ made that car faster? It’s understandable that LH doesn’t want to say it, but ain’t no way he isn’t thinking it. Hopefully they’ll get it together before he retires which will be sad. LH will def be missed when he does retire.
There are 9 teams that have all failed to build the fastest car!
That bitch aint Kimi, michael or senna that he will be missed
Different car chassis this year so the old methods of making the car faster won't necessarily work. The Mercedes engine doesn't seem as strong in the new car either since even Mclaren has fallen behind.
They are back
Basically what the reporters trying to ask you is how do you like that sweet sweet humble pie?
The questions we all wanted to ask. Could have dug a bit deeper with some of those answers and Lewis seems like he had more to say, but it’s possible he was asked not to ask for any more details .
Also, the airplane.
On the other hand, Lewis is a class act. This maturity vs who he was in 2007. Wow.
Hello fan thanks for your love and
support what's your name and where are you from? I hope you're not disappointed about my last Race in Singapore ?
Don't think I'll watch F1 after Sir LH leaves. It will be sooo different. But was awesome to see him on the podium at home ground last weekend!!
F1 will go back to the boring white boys club after he leaves. And that’s how the clown fans want it. I’m definitely not watching after he leaves.😴
I feel the same. F1 will be hard to watch once he leaves😥
*STILL I RISE*
We believe in you Sir Lewis 🏆
Great job Channel4, brilliant presenters and production crew. I wouldn’t be able to watch F1 without you.
Solid banter.
Awesome setting for an interview
Congratulation Lewis Hamilton . Happy to see in podium.

@@Abraham58 , im your F1 fan forever . We will support you . Plz give souvenir. Since 2011 chinese Grand prix , Lewis Victory . We love to watch F1 race.
@@muhamkrisharumarum4705 Thanks so much for your love and support I really appreciate, Do you have Google chat application on your phone let’s talk more over there ?
Lewis is working for greatness which he has done a lot already. He is also lucky to have people like Toto around him who is JUST A GOOD MAN WITH GREAT VISION AND DOESN'T CARE ABOUT WHERE YOU COME FROM. 💙💙💙
Thank you Lewis, you are an aspiration to many people....my brother who is in a small town in Africa is inspired by you. 💙💙💙
I am a great fan of Sir Lewis in everything he is doing. This was a fantastic interview. I'll always be a fan.
A great interview, well done Steve. Lewis deserves so much love and respect ❤
This guy ! Continues to impress .🤘🏼 “ It’s not always about winning “ 🏁
Lewis Hamilton is a great inspiration to all sorts of athletes. To the way he takes perspective on everything he does and his love for every aspect of the sport…..🙌
A solid interview. Thanks!
Love you Mr.Lewis. I am 49 years old, and because of you and your team, I started watched F1. Love!!!!!
I Believe that, at the present, the younger lads are HUNGRIER, (and hence more focused) for their first or second world championship, than Sir Lewis is for winning his Eight world championship. He is far more Talented than all of them . Even if he doesn't win it this year, if he goes back to basics, and remain absolutely Focused, he will win another World Championship or Two.....
What are you talking about? He hasnt won cause the car is shit, are you new here?
Crymilton is by no means the most talented.
@@michaeltrumph121 looks like you are the one crying😂😂😂.
14:55 he definitely wanted to say more, but he was being mindful of the setting. As an African-American, I can totally relate to his choice of language. Blacks in the UK, America, and elsewhere have to be careful in how we describe our struggles in public settings due to unfair repercussions. It's inspiring to see Lewis thrive despite these challenges.
Lewis is a remarkable human being. So is his father.
The GOAT. Consistent as can be. Yes he had the best car for a long time but let there be no doubt: He delivered time and time again, no matter the material.
One of the rawest talents that started racing karts relatively 'late' compared to other racers. Started winning rather soon nonetheless.
I hope he keeps his young spirit and raw will to succeed alive long enough to keep performing, because he still is performing incredibly well. Silverstone 2022 was a treat. He showed his usual raw speed yet measured approach to racing.
When everything is said and done. When all the current critics and hypetrain-writers have moved on to writing bits about the next controversial BS,
Lewis his mission remains sincere,
Lewis his achievements will stand.
Keep it up mate!
Thank you, sir Lewis!
He race with Schumacher along with Vettel and he had made great history in F1 and gives inspiration to next generation f1 racer. Even some of you guys might hate him but he just being himself introvert but people often misinterpret as a rude person, but he just don't bother to hater, that just his personality. He always tried to stay positive even he haven't win this year and always gives good example to young generation. Even he is a F1 racer he tried to tell everyone could always chase their passion regardless what people say.
Brilliant CH4 coverage and great presenters with charisma! Wish they could do all the GP’s live!!
With every new interview with this lovely human, I love it more and more....I learn more and more about him, about how he can be soooo strong ... I will always be on Lewis's side #forever👑💜💜💜
You’re one of a kind woman. Keep it up 😊
I have huge respect for Lewis. His self reflection and desire for the best for everyone is very refreshing. All power to you!
He is an amazing person
He's an overrated joke
@@michaeltrumph121 your life is sad
What an inspiration this man is!!
Hello fan thanks for your love and
support what's your name and where are you from? I hope you're not disappointed about my last Race in Singapore ?
Finally someone to get Lewis to talk racing and pull some real passion and car talk out of him.... Great work! Loved this lol
I’m a dutch diehard verstappen/f1 fan. And sometimes i ‘hate’ (not really) lewis so much.
But he is a great person and driver. What he has done for the sport and everything around it is great and sometimes underrated.
One of the greatest drivers the sport has ever known.
I love Lewis and he should keep up his hardwork proud of him love ❤️ him
When he retires he will get the recognition he deserves. The man is closing in on 200 podiums.... That is insane.
What an objective interview. Great journalism.
Objective my arse
This guy is honestly the worst journalist involved in F1 actually
Not at all because the interviewer is laying word in his mouth !
@@michaeltrumph121 i should've added #sarcasm apparently
@@sjefhendrickx2257 sarcasm dude
Lewis is a living legend in my opinion.. He is a brillant driver, and he's done so much for the sport - I really Hope to see him fighting for his 8 championship 🤞👍
Like him or hate him - One thing F1 will be 'dull' without him 🤔
This is the first time, I've felt little Lewis (age 7-10) and now more mature Lewis have the same outward appearance of calm, cool, and collected. Inside, there is a racing Lewis waiting to open up a can of whoop ass on his opponents. Taking no prisoners.
F1 is really going to feel that dent in their pockets when Lewis retires. Him and Danny. They will feel that hit. Love him though. So soft spoken...
Indeed his such an inspiration all round
