Yeah very skewed view on this... Michael was a different animal in his prime, I'm sorry... Both are good but I see Michael and Senna in a similar light but Michael beat them all though... been watching Formula 1 but... Michael Schumacher was on another level... Also his approach revolutionised the sport...
He worked with a Schumacher in his 40s, 3 years out of business and most of all a Schumacher who suffered a almost fatal accident on a motorbike in 2009 that left him with a basal skull fracture (commonly a fatal injury in its own right, in motorsport fatalities in particular), a severed artery to the brain; damage to the second artery; severe concussion; neck damage; muscle damage; and severely limited range of movement in the neck (which lasted well into his return year). That was not the Michael who drove from 91-06.

"Michael wasn't the most skillfull, that Was Lewis". If Michael had the developed car that Lewis had after 2013, Michael would have been a 13 times champion.
Michael worked extremely hard, Verstappens a bit similar in that regard, their hard work paid off. Hamilton is more natural works off feel of the car more is what he's trying to say not that he's necessarily a better driver, just comes more naturally.
@@iandavies1893how can Alonso be another level? Hamilton tied him as a rookie (which, according to all f1 drivers) is such a shock to the system and hard to grasp. So Hamilton, w no f1 experience, transitions into another world of performance and ties him?!

Vowles has a rather narrow if deep field of expertise - strategy and simulation. Compare that with Paddy Lowe, who had overseen everything at McLaren and Mercedes, yet still cocked it up royally at Williams. We shall see...
If lewis is that explorative now at mercedes on setup then it really shows how bad the cureent car is, that he can't get the setup or time out of the car.
@ey1615 Some drivers are content with the car when it's OK, lewis clealry isn't that type of driver. Russell is happy with p4-7, lewis would rather risk the setup and find out something new to try and make the car better. Clealry, that doesn't always work. Even with lewis trying all these tactics, Mercedes still doesn't understand the car and how to set it up.
Interesting, because one of Lewis’ complaints about the past 3 seasons is his lack of input in the car development. So if he’s able to intuitively make drastic setup changes to suit his drive and he’s not been listened to. Hopefully Ferrari are taking him on with this in mind.
Considering James has worked with Prime Schumacher, Prime Senna, Prime Vettel, Prime Prost, Prime Hamilton, he surely know what’s he talking about and not according to his personal preferences/ leaning towards previous employers (whom he might need again soon). Totally unbiased. Edit: ok people are taking this comment seriously. I was being sarcastic. He takes champagne showers with Hamilton. Of course he is biased.
There are a lot of top drivers, I would place Schumacher above Hamilton. I like Verstappen a lot. Senna as a driver. Mansell waa pretty amazing. Verstappen and Hamilton have had the advantage of having the best equipment. Would be interesting to see how they would be with something less. But you can certainly see the passion that all the greats have
@@nickyptv7258 Everyone who worked with him during his prime always praised his unpredecented talent and ability to extract everything out of any car he was given.
this video is comparing a 43 years old schumacher with prime hamilton and it goes out as a fair comparison. at that time even rosberg was better than schumacher.when schumacher was at his peak this F1 boss was growing hair in his pubic area.
Look , Michael Schumacher made Ferrari one of the best by brining the right people to Ferrari. Lewis was handed a great car for 2007 and 2008, then a good car that can win, then a super car from 2014-2020.without the Michael driving and giving advise during 2010-2012 , Lewis might not sniff any championship.
We like when the question [maybe deliberately] was asked about how many championships he had during his stint with Merc, '....8 Drivers and 7 Constructors or the other way around...', and the Ex-Merc F1 Boss answered 'contentious' indicating the 'missed' 8th Driver's Championship. Clearly stolen during daylight with the help of the 'F1-Police'. Maybe this might be one of the reasons why Adrian Newly has finally decided to leave RB. He's had enough of those '' wranglings'.
Michael was the complete package, a step above everyone. Hamilton is an interesting question because he usually had a far superior car, I don’t feel he’s as good as his results suggest.
It’s pretty obvious Hamilton is more talented than Schumacher, he won Formula 3 and GP2 and should have won in his first F1 season. Schumacher only got into Formula 1 cos Jordan was desperate for a driver when Gachot got imprisoned. What he did when he got into Formula 1 was pretty impressive but his first two championships were dodgy cos he rammed Hill off to win one and the car was running illegal traction control. Once he made a name for himself he got a lot of money from a German industrialist to make him a multiple world champion and the entire Ferrari team was working for him whereas Lewis had to race his team mates and lost 2007 (gear box fault), 2016 (dodgy engine) and 2021 (Masi) controversially.
Exactly. They literally control the car from their HQ’s. Beside Schumi, senna was also a skilled in a car. Was a time were you really could see how good the drivers were. Even Lauda with all his knowledge to build a Beast 👌
Talking Crap !! Which car he drove that wasn't quick ? A dominant ferrari 4 seasons and the benetton Renault. All you hate Hamilton but deep within u all know he is and will always be the goat. With that crappy slow car in the sprint in the last race LH in the wet showed u a skill finishing second in that doonbuggy. U a just a bunch of Bigots
This is laughable. Lewis pure natural talent wasn't even close to Michael one, there is not even a debate, this person is delusional or just a bragging clueless fan.
I highly doubt this guy has the capability, knowledge and skills to make a judgement about a Schumacher/Hamilton comparison in regard to talent. I believe Schumacher was better and faster...not more than a gut feeling. He was able to make a team/car fast. He's proven that twice, with Benetton and with Ferrari. Hamilton on the other hand was at the right time in the right team. I think he'll fail at Ferrari.
He most likely meant the version he worked with, which is 40+ year old Schumacher at Mercedes. He never got to see and work with Schumacher from his Benetton & Ferrari days, he knows about prime Schumacher as much as your average joe does.
If Hamilton is supposed to be the goat he wouldn’t be struggling against a guy that was outscored by rookie Latifi in equal machinery. or wouldn’t be the only Merc driver during 2014-2021 that missed out on Q3. or wouldn’t have lost so many titles in the best car. or wouldn’t be the loudest complainer whenever he doesn’t drive a perfect car.
Imo Lewis is the fastest driver, maybe ever, when all is OK. That´s the point. Past year he was focused enought and performed clearly better than Russell, maybe better than any other being the best after RB, but if you take a look on all his F1 years you clearly see that he is not committed or confortable when the car is not that good. Button said once this exact thing. Lewis has something else than any other driver I've seen when all is working. This can be a weakspot, but in F1 there is only one truth, you win if you have the best car, or almost the best car and you are better than your rival. And this, is exactly what happened in all the championships Lewis won.
Yer you listen to the pleb heads on social media Lewis doesn’t know how to set a car up Overrated Guess Dave from Leeds knows more than the actual experts
He is way better than Max. The people who Max had as teammates got beat by the car, too sensitive and difficult to drive. Lewis's teammates got beat by him. Mercedes never had a difficult car to drive, this shows everything you need to know.
@@funnyshorts6830 No he isn’t better than Max. Lewis has never dominated any of his teammates that he has had to extent of Max has, and he has had teammates that were no better than Perez such as Kovalainen or Bottas, yet Lewis got beaten by them much more than Max has been beaten by Perez. This is the same Perez who outscored Hulkenberg during their time as teammates. The same Perez that just about lost to Button 10-9 in their 2013 qualifying battle during Perez’ one and only season as a Mclaren driver. Hamilton and Button raced 58 Gp’s as teammates and Button managed to outqualify Hamilton in 18 of those. After 73 Gp’s as teammates together Perez has still only started ahead of Verstappen 10 times, and as of now hasn’t outqualified Verstappen in over a year. Not to mention Hamilton just about edged Rosberg 42-36 in qualifying over a 4 year span, and is currently losing to Russell 27-24 over 1 lap. Since the start of 2019, Verstappen has only been outqualified a total of 12 times, when Gasly, Albon and Perez’ results are combined. Verstappen is just flat out the faster driver and is much more consistent in his performances than Hamilton is.
@ey1615 lol firstly it was a set up issue for red bull that made them lose that race then crashtappen went crashing into lewis and russell parked the car to stop lewis from being ahead of him in quali
Yeah a driver thats won 7 titles when only 1 other driver is history has done it aswell is overrated right ?😂😂😂😂 u dont know shit about ratings mate@ey1615
Driving an Indy car is way less demanding than an F1 car. Think of all the G-Force and strain an F1 car puts on the driver. No power steering ain't gonna be a problem in a car especially at high speeds. My first car had no power steering so when going slow you worked a bit harder but Indy tracks are mainly high speed so you will not be working hard to turn. It's not like a Go-Kart with tiny wheels where your wrists are burning after a few laps.

Past year he was focused enought and performed clearly better than Russell, maybe better than any other being the best after RB, but if you take a look on all his F1 years you clearly see that he is not committed or confortable when the car is not that good.
Button said once this exact thing. Lewis has something else than any other driver I've seen when all is working.
This can be a weakspot, but in F1 there is only one truth, you win if you have the best car, or almost the best car and you are better than your rival. And this, is exactly what happened in all the championships Lewis won.
James vowles has no jawline and barely has a chin, Sad
🙏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Yer you listen to the pleb heads on social media
Lewis doesn’t know how to set a car up
Overrated
Guess Dave from Leeds knows more than the actual experts
No matter set up that car has no effing chance
He was not worked with Max.
Who cares. Rent free bud.
DTS fans juvenile and naive as always.
He is way better than Max. The people who Max had as teammates got beat by the car, too sensitive and difficult to drive.
Lewis's teammates got beat by him. Mercedes never had a difficult car to drive, this shows everything you need to know.
Poor you. Hope you get over it 😢

No he isn’t better than Max. Lewis has never dominated any of his teammates that he has had to extent of Max has, and he has had teammates that were no better than Perez such as Kovalainen or Bottas, yet Lewis got beaten by them much more than Max has been beaten by Perez. This is the same Perez who outscored Hulkenberg during their time as teammates. The same Perez that just about lost to Button 10-9 in their 2013 qualifying battle during Perez’ one and only season as a Mclaren driver.
Hamilton and Button raced 58 Gp’s as teammates and Button managed to outqualify Hamilton in 18 of those.
After 73 Gp’s as teammates together Perez has still only started ahead of Verstappen 10 times, and as of now hasn’t outqualified Verstappen in over a year.
Not to mention Hamilton just about edged Rosberg 42-36 in qualifying over a 4 year span, and is currently losing to Russell 27-24 over 1 lap.
Since the start of 2019, Verstappen has only been outqualified a total of 12 times, when Gasly, Albon and Perez’ results are combined.
Verstappen is just flat out the faster driver and is much more consistent in his performances than Hamilton is.
Vowles has the Mercedes gift of talking a whole lot while saying very little.
Maybe your comprehensive skills are null
🤔 I dunno. Maybe once upon a time this is right. Not for the last 3 years.
ok
Bro you are saying as If merc had a race winning car for the past three years
@@Astrokobidead
It literally had in 2022 💀
No wheel
@ey1615 lol firstly it was a set up issue for red bull that made them lose that race then crashtappen went crashing into lewis and russell parked the car to stop lewis from being ahead of him in quali
The Most Talented Driver Is Max Verstappen.
So who are you and where does your opinion come from? Legoland?
@@royhammond2232 Over 30 years of F1 experience.
@@Zoundshine irrelevant
@@usufabu fakt
Who asked?? Max is the most talented of this Era we know this already
Its that Hamilton hes always been the fastest bestest driver for too long now
Most overrated driver of all time
@@ey1615 Too many followers too much sponsorship, just too many wins and championships fastest laps, pole positions and too much Goat status
Yeah a driver thats won 7 titles when only 1 other driver is history has done it aswell is overrated right ?😂😂😂😂 u dont know shit about ratings mate@ey1615
He has never worked with the most talented driver.
Well Lewis beat Max in 2021, so yes he has.
@@joshn1678 Poor Luluboy. Sour loser.
Here we go with the Maxipad brigade...
@@dane458So you think Max is the most talented driver? Funny.
@@caskraker Nope. Your comment history however...
I am not quite sure how HAM would deal with an Indycar without power steering because it demands much more physical effort
Uh, you do realize Lewis drove without power steering before getting to F1 right?
Have you seen how jacked he is? Don't see any problems
@@joshn1678Explain to me why Mansell failed in Indycar
Driving an Indy car is way less demanding than an F1 car. Think of all the G-Force and strain an F1 car puts on the driver. No power steering ain't gonna be a problem in a car especially at high speeds. My first car had no power steering so when going slow you worked a bit harder but Indy tracks are mainly high speed so you will not be working hard to turn. It's not like a Go-Kart with tiny wheels where your wrists are burning after a few laps.
