Lewis 2006: ”I’d be happy with only one title!”
Lewis 2020, with 7 titles: ”I’m just getting started!”
LOL
LOL
*LOL*
LOL
Lewis to Merc":
'Gimme more cash so I can get myself,oops sorry you guyz a 8th"
Love him or hate him. This guys achievements gives you goosebumps. He is one of the GREATEST we will ever see.
Why choose one or the other? I feel fairly neutral towards him. A great driver who deserves all the credit and praise he can get. I don't love him, but I don't dislike him either.
THE greatest. Stats don't lie.
Lewis will be the GOAT after he gets his 8th title.
Mercedes’ achievements with him on the wheel.
@@Ogma3bandcamp m8 u telling me that senna was WAY worse than vettel, prost, fangio, and the english drama queen
"I don't know if it would be possible for me to win 7 championships. But I would be happy with just one" well here we are Lewis it surely is more than possible to get 8
Hopefully 10, TeamLH44🙏🏾🇬🇧
if only he knew he’d be the greatest driver of this era in 06
Goosebumps
hopefully he wins his 8th
I really can't believe there are no toxic Verstappen fanboys in the replies! It seems like they are finally acknowledging who's the best. No hate on Max tho he is an amazing and very talented driver.
Kid's got potential.
🤣🤣
Probably will flop imo
This joke has been beaten down to bits.
who is he?
Nah i doubt he'll do well, seems to arrogant
you guys have to get Lewis to watch this exact interview again and film his reaction
That would be awesome
Great idea. I'm not a big Hamilton fan but that would be worth watching.
"i'd be happy with one title"
Lewis : now say that 7 times
Guys up vote this comment
@f1
Lewis, with the help of his father made it to the top with nothing. He doesn’t deserve the amount of disrespect he gets for what he’s achieving
Couldn't of put it better myself
The G.A.O.T 🐐🐐🐐
Also, listen to 4:58 and take it in now
@Barcelona golden state But what did it take for McLaren to notice him..? Did you watch the video?
True.. absolutely
@Barcelona golden state You spelled McLaren wrong but true. Every great driver needs a bit of help.
@Barcelona golden state McLaren get him on the Team for a reason (incredible talent) did you forget that ?
He's exactly the same then as he is now, humble, philosophical, and mature. Brilliant champion, one of the greatest of all time
Exactly how I think aswell, people who don't think he's a humble man just aren't happy in life
the only difference is that now he is filthy rich
Lewis: pls help stop global warming and I really thank my family
Also him: *USES 15 LUXURY CARS AND A CHATTERED AIRCRAFTS WHICH GIVES THE POLLUTION OF A SMALL COUNTRY IN AFRICA*
@@seulgi-ahhhh2758 He has been slowing down on his usage of vehicles that cause pollution for a while now. No, he does not have a spotless record, but isn't he allowed to change??? Dude's not even forty yet. People get older, more mature, understand their past mistakes and grow.
@@seulgi-ahhhh2758 he sold his plane and don't forget that his personal contribution is still tiny. What he does have is influence, the reach he has, gives him the power to create change. You sitting there going well I'm not going to do anything because he drives cars is a poor attitude I think
What he said here, he still says nowadays. Deep down he's still the humble Lewis from 14 years ago although people don't see it.
I was thinking i was the only person who thought he was a genuinely humble person, but the more I read the comments, the more I realise there is of us out here...stay strong 💪🙏
true. he even says the same sentences
And F1 "fans" keep calling him fake and the way he presents himself as fake even though he has been the same since he was a kid.
@@Cal3000 Yes still through all the hate, he rises...
And he could be very snob about, after all he achieved.
Lewis doesn't deserve the hate he gets. I'm sure he inspires another generation of drivers just like the greats of the previous era.
Sadly, people might try to come up with other excuses, but much of the hate that he gets boils down to the color of his skin. Fighting past that off the track is an accomplishment that dwarfs his astonishing ability on the track.
People like you understand
@@istdochallesegal3427 since when. The hate he gets is the same as with vettel. It’s because he wins allot and it gets boring. Now the last time i checked vettel isn’t black.
@@istdochallesegal3427 i have never came across a racist hamilton hater. Please give an example of when you've seen that. It's the mercs that he's winning in that give him hate
Senna in Brazil: Loved
Schumacher in Germany:
Loved
Hamilton in England:
Hated.
Not is NORMAL, the COLOR is the response.
Someone is probably talking about Lewis Hamilton like how Hamilton talked about these legends.
Scary that
@P. G.M not even the greatest talent to have ever lived had won a title without having a car. the car is crucial for success but those idiots who say it's the car only keep forgetting teams run two cars.
That would be Verstappen 😂🤣
@@snowrabbit9558 Nah because Mercedes can't stop Grosjean from crashing the car
@@snowrabbit9558 He has lots of competition but he is just better and doesn't make mistakes like some of the other drivers on the grid. Where is your proof that his car is much better. What you don't realise is that if his car was faster or "better," wouldn't that make is more difficult to drive? Yes it would. Even with no competition A f1 car is not easy to drive by any means. I'd like to see you try. See how long you will last with 6 g's on your neck for several laps.
I just laughed when he said he would be happy with 1. An amazing human being. An inspiration to many. "Still We Rise"
His voice didn’t change at all
Mate I was thinking the same thing!
He was 21 at the time I would actually be surprised if his voice had changed completely
@Brylle Cruz 😂😂😂
his hair cut changed though
@@mattw404 his intellect? Bro just admit you’re racist and move
He has this calm comforting demeanor i became a fan of f1 bc of lewis and i think he's the best driver in f1
People need to understand just how phenomenal a career hes had. To break into a predominately white rich mans sport, and to dominate in the way he has done is incredible. The disrespect he faces on social media and by some 'fans' is crazy. He is a sporting and British icon. And for me is the best ever.
How does being white give advantage in this sport? Maybe, rich, but not white lol.
yea put white out of the game, rich is the word
@@domasa732 Believe me it does. If a sport inherently only has white drivers whether that was the cause of financial or traditional reasons, it makes it so much harder for a driver of mixed or black descent to rise through the ranks. It's even more precisely the case in F1 where you can't compete if you don't have money either through your family or sponsors. Albon for example, had to go though his Thai links to keep on competing otherwise he was done for. Sorry but being white in motorsport just allows you to blend in much better unfortunately
@@daffamustafa Nope. It is the truth.
Domas - in an ideal world you would be correct but in the real world racism exists in every society. The U.K. where F1 is based is 85% white and while a very diverse and tolerant country he has suffered racism and prejudice. It’s not debatable, it is fact. He is an amazing talent. The shocking thing is that he has been that way since he was 6 years old with hardly any drop off apart from the normal emotional growing pains in his early 20s when it was time to grow up and move on from McLaren.
He understood racing and the life of a racer even back then.
He was already racing for 15 years in the video, so yeah. If you race ever since you were 4, that’s basically all your life so it’s kinda expected you know the “life of a racer”
"I wouldn't know whether it'll be possible for me to win 7 world championships, but I would just be happy with 1" - Lewis Hamilton (now a 7th time WC)......not even a fan but amazing.
Doesn’t deserve the hate he gets, nobody can take away from him the fact that he’s an incredible driver.
@L6915 lol ok mr snowflake. Might i ask what changed. Also you wont be missed. Cheerio
@P. G.M Vettel never showed any potential in a slightly bad car-like Alonso and Lewis did, so he is not great in my eyes
@L6915 It’s your opinion dude you have the right to dislike him, i wasn’t a big fan of him before but he grew on me tbh 🤷🏻♀️
Phenomenal** driver.
Imagine looking back at these memories.... congratulations Lewis let the haters hate and it's now your time to celebrate 🍾
your*****
@@borjasalmeron5502 thanks man!
@@Frankatankz 😂😂
@@borjasalmeron5502 CRY 😂😂😂
Love your haters, they are your biggest fans.
Who would've thought, that 14 years later.... here he is - one of the greatest drivers in Formula 1 history.
I’ve followed Hamilton since 1998 and even have his karting helmet. Knew he would be world champion way back then
One of the greatest? The greatest I think you mean
Greatest*... Not one of the
@@UncleBenda - agreed but some people don’t see it that way, unfortunately.
I love the passion from the fans. It is safe to say that Hamilton is among the greats and definitely the greatest of his era. Whether he is THE greatest doesn't matter, as comparing drivers across eras doesn't really make sense.
Amazing to see the head he had on his shoulders that young. Full understanding of the importance of his family, the finances, and racecraft. A man that made his own destiny through hard work. Well done Lewis.
GET IN THERE LEWIS !!!!!!
As a motorsport fan I'm overwhelmed and thankful to witness a one in a lifetime talent like Hamilton. What a racer!!!
Too secure his 7th title in the way he did here in Turkey is another proof what an exceptional driver he is.
Congratulations Lewis!!!!
/a Riccardo fan
It’s amazing how similar any interview with him at any age is, he’s just always been the same person with the same amazing talent
Every word Lewis says *gives credit or expresses gratitude* to someone else !
He never says or implies that he's the best or greatest !
This kid seems to have potential, hope he gets to drive in F1 someday
Might even grab a few points who knows!
Might become world champion
Will chalk up a long, long list of winning "driver of the day" that they will become tired of him and exclude him from consideration there after
Fingers crossed! He has potential...🤣🤞🏾
This kid would do so well in the second Red Bull seat! 😂
Lewis Hamilton is how everyone should aspire to be. GOAT
A hypocritical, show pony, insecure tool thats the first F1 driver to get universally booed on podiums around the world. A driver with ZERO friends in the paddock - awesome driver - Social loser
@@JH-jo9wt J H out here calling a 7 time champion a social loser
@@JH-jo9wt He doesn’t need salty fans to cheer him! Team LH and 20 million followers on IG is enough!🤣 Keep projecting your insecurities on Lewis! Still He Rises...🙏🏾
@Tao Chen I know him as well as u Tao. Prob better
@@JH-jo9wt the irony of you calling someone else insecure
He’s the best since Michael Schumacher. And now statistically the best of all time. Legend.
Seeing this makes me pretty emotional, I mean I started watching formula 1 in the early 2000s but this kid really got me hooked since 2007. Although he missed out by one point in the first year I couldn't help myself but believe this guy has something very special. It makes me proud to see how far he has come. Even through the hard years at mclaren after 2008 i always believed in him that he could claim the top. Even when he struggeld and he seemed lost. He never failed to pull something extraordinary out of the bag like Nürburgring 2011, Hungary 2013, Monza Quali 2017, Hockenheim 2018, Singapur Quali 2018 or the race last weekend only to mention a few. For me he is the greatest ever and he will forever be my childhood hero.
For me hamilton is the perfect f1 driver. Watching the last race just made it clear for me. It was hard watching as a max fan the last race, but props where it is due. There are are extremely less areas where hamilton is lacking. Speed, consistency, rain master, great team leader, beating each and every teammate. Every box has been ticked. I dont think even the likes of Schumacher and senna can boast that they nailed it to that perfection.
Ngl, i just started watching f1, and for me it seemed like since he had the best car he was the best, but boy was I wrong, especially after this weekend's tukish gp. He really is one of the greatest. He is probably the best driver ever in Formula 1.
His character and his driving have been consistent. In this video his demeanor and appreciation for everything is the same as today. You’d have to go out of your way to dislike him.
4:57 man this line's the special one
The prophecy comes full circle. 💜💞
It's bittersweet to see this now, to see him mention Nico Rosberg, to see him laugh at the prospect of being a 7 time world champion, to see him smile and say he'd be happy with just one after everything we know now. He raced with Nico, beat him twice. He almost won that only one title he expected to win in his rookie year, won it in his 2nd yea, won at least 1 race every season since he's been in F1. Won 7 world titles. We're witnessing history in the making, let's appreciate this guy a bit more.
supported since 2006 and to see 7 titles is remarkable every win,pole and heartbreak (2007 china).
7 titles
most wins
most poles
most podiums
only driver to win every year hes competed
Nothing to Take away from him but he is probably the only driver who had a competitive car every season so with his talent it’s no wonder he won every season....with the titles aswell....I don’t see him above vettel,Prost,Schumacher because they all did the same: dominating as long as they got the best material....give vettel his Red Bull for 3 more years he would have been 7 times world champion aswell...
@@erazzor9726 But 2009 was an awful car
@@erazzor9726 last I checked Hamilton is the last world champion in a team who didn't win the constructors
@@crazymannxl well that happened just cause of Spygate
@@crazymannxl this is True I give him that but I was comparing there dominant eras...Schumi did Win with benetton aswell....but for me they are all on the same level....fact is hamilton got the best car for the longest time thatswhy he is on top in terms of stats
Hate him or not, he’s one of the greatest.
@Lieutenant Aldo Rein 🤦🏽♂️🤦🏽♂️
THE greatest. Stats don't lie.
he doesn't deserve any hate at all
@@Ogma3bandcamp Ok then Vettel’s better than Ayrton Senna, stats don’t lie
THIS IS THE MILLIONTH TIME I WILL REMIND SOMEONE OF THIS: STATS DONT MAKE RACING DRIVERS
Would love to see F1 upload classic GP2 races from these times. Seeing Lewis' talent and performance really shine here would be amazing for all to see.
For sure! It’s clearly shows his talent! He didn’t need a Mercedes back then to SMASH the field!
Also his F3 times
People sometimes level the criticism against Lewis that his responses ring false and "PR-generated" (as if taking care with what you say and who it will effect when you have a very public position is a bad thing). Watching this interview, you can see the exact same themes he always returns to: gratitude, loyalty, achievement, effort, learning. I dunno, maybe his personality is just like that?
This man is an inspiration to all kids, those who want to achieve their dreams, those who are mixed race/black and to those who have hardly any money, you deserve this Lewis!!
How can you dislike Lewis especially back then. I hope him and Ron stay in touch
What i noticed is that many people don't remember that he almost became a WCC in his debut season. I'm not really a fan of LH myself, but you can't deny his greatness.
How can you hate this man? What more do you want from him ?
They just jealous.
Absolutely relentless.. The aggressive attitude he had on track and the constant pressure he put himself through to always wanting to win races. The never giving up attitude. You can't be a 7 Time World Champion without having this killer mindset. It sets him apart from the rest of the drivers.. It's been an absolute pleasure to witness Hamilton's career..
the greatest f1 driver of all time, we won't see another as great in our lifetime.
Oh boy, just heard that McLaren signed this kid next to current champion Alonso! I'm sure they will be great team mates and 2007 will be an amazing year for McLaren!
And they defenetly be best friends!
And McLaren will definitely win the constructors championship!
@Ice Bear and I don't think there will be any spygate
They should've just paid Kimi double and kept him!
This is gold
i don't know why people say he talks different now.. is the same humble kid.
I am so happy for him. Since day one i am a big lewis fan
thanks, Ron denis for bringing an all-time great to the sport
He is the definition of "BIG dreams come from small beginnings"🔥🔥🔥
Congrats to you idol Lewis Hamilton💜
For more championships to come
So many amazingly prophetic things are discussed - considering the legacy of Senna and Schumacher, talking about 7 titles and even being Nico Rosberg's team mate!
I think you see this and recognise that he was humble, determined and dedicated.
The time when Lewis wasn't Rich enough to buy a racing team himself.
I actually hope he'll stay or comeback into F1 by starting his own F1 team.
@@Kiluei That'll be the worst decision he can make. Another series but definitely not F1. A small research shows that Even billionaires leave F1 broke
@@AAde-or3qz just like kimi
@@AAde-or3qz he already have a racing team on Extreme E, electric rally series
Go Kart Academy for real people
Well, to think he’d go on to win 6 more than he had hoped!
This is so inspirational. It makes my heart happy.
the effort and dedication put in is top notch
This man is the reason why I'm an ART fan this year
Lewis hamilton is the best driver. 7 world champion
i hope he will win an f1 gp, or even a championship
Nah I think he will flop in f1
😂😂😂😂You are saying this now.
Let's see if he even gets to f1
@@theimposter2210 just wait till he joins ferrari man
Fingers crossed he gets at least one championship...🤣
This was such a great video. Shows how determined Lewis was and still is. He's on a whole other level.
Wow this Lewis guy looks Like a great talent, I hope he wins a championship
Legend 🏴
GOAT 🐐

I find it amazing how little he's changed in 15 years
That kid was amazing. The man today he has become is even more amazing. Congratulations Lewis !! You are the greatest driver of this generation. ♥️🔥
This mans achievements is near unimaginable keep fighting lewis
Lewis 2006 : i'd be happy with 1 title..
2020 : hold my gifts..🎁🎁🎁🎁
Someone give this man a seat. For next season.
Lol! He has potential....
i'm so amazed at all he has achieved... i really hope he wins this weekend and gets his 8th 🙏🏾💜
Maybe in a decade or two, people will look back at how dominant he was and how many haters' ego he crushed whenever he wins his championships it's great to witness this kind of dominance especially when you're watching him since his days with McLaren
Imagine telling Lewis back in 2006 he would be a 7 time world champion in 2020.
He wouldn't strive to be one and would laze back, not allowing him to improve and remain as a WDC contender at the max. Creates a paradox. Just FYI
@@adityanarain9428 Thank you mister. You must be fun at parties.
@@yesitsmojo24 I am, but no YOKE I am
Honestly it's been an absolute pleasure watching one of the greatest if not THE greatest. Never stop Lewis... Keep it going... Keep it up!
Without the story you wouldn't understand!!! That emotional feeling!!! Hamilton is the best ever
i bet he's taken Stewart off his list, the old geezer is such a hater
Well Stewart is backing him for knighthood, so I wouldn't entirely call him a hater.
Kindly define the word "hater" and name one instance where Stewart has behaved like one towards Hamilton.

@@mumlehoved yeah but he always throws jabs at Lewis, been doing it for years
EPIC PRODUCTION... WELL DONE! THE HISTORY BOOKS WILL GIVE YOU THE RESPECT YOU DESERVE LEWIS!
What a legend, what a champion. No wonder he´s achieved so much. He had highs, he had lows, he kept going and getting better, that´s why he keeps improving on pace, consistency, lack of mistakes. Congrats Hamilton on your 7th world title.
What a legend!
Really great that we are able to watch those interviews back from his GP2 days.
He went beyond 7world titles, use your power to influence people, care and help people that needs, that’s how Lewis will transcend as a driver and person
"IDK if id be possible for me to win 7 world championships, Id just be happy with one. Will have to wait and see"
This young guy has the potential of winning some titles. I see him getting around 1-2 in his career and that's a lot.
Lol! Fingers crossed!🤞🏾🤣
But to be real for a moment, two world titles are a lot.
Häkkinen has two
Senna is very happy watching you!!! Congrats Lewis!
Dedicating that 7th world title to all the kids out there who have dreams..... He is an absolute inspiration.... One of the best of all time
What a man, congrats Lewis. He just keeps working hard in the moment and everything falls into place because of that. A true champ 🏆
His accent got slightly Americanized but the boy turned into a man and he’s fully deserving to be up there with the GOATs of the sport. No one better than the other. He is the best we’ve seen in the last decade
Because he said people don't understand him when he speaks around the world. He has been around the world and lived elsewhere for a long time. I've lost my strong cockney accent living for years elsewhere in the UK. At times picking up a regional twang. It's not unheard of as a young adult.
its normal to lose your accent when you start spending your time more in different parts of the world and speaking with people with different accents themselves.
@@Kiluei Understandably so
This made me tear up. He has come a long way…
4:57 - See that Jackie? He’s giving you props in 2006, and still it’s hard for you to do the same, beyond the generic.
Just because someone likes you, doesnt mean you have to like them.
He looks like he could be a world champion one day
Maybe even a double
Or triple
@@JaydanPuriel or quadruple
You think? He looks like a 5 time champ for sure...🤣
@@blackgirlsrock264 maybe even 6 if he gets lucky
Such a genuinely humble decent man...who deserves all his achievements and more, no matter what anyone says!! *goat* 💯🙏💪
"i dont know if it will be possible for me to win 7 World Championships" Now that's some motivation for everyone to believe in your dreams.. Goosebumps
The dream was always there, and Lewis has chipped away each year stepping up. S7ill rising!!!
8till rising!
It's gotta be one of the coolest feelings in the world knowing you supported one of the greatest in the world. All those guys on the pitwall cheering get to say to their children and family that they had the pleasure of taking part in this legacy. A team sport indeed
The most beautiful, the sweetest, the cutest, the goat
Who is here after magnificient 100th win! thats just bonkers how much he achieved in this sport. way to go
I'm gonna need the lewis hamilton movie some time this century,
please and thank you
The fact that he could be talking about winning the WDC and how many time he might do it - with a straight face - and the interviewer keeping a straight face, tells you all you need to know about how much respect people had for him as a driver even when he was just in GP2 ...
Lewis 2006: it's crazy to think in 1 or 2 years i'll be in Formula 1...
Lewis 2008: World Champion. What. A. Man. What. A. Champion.
He speaks with such a maturity for his age at that time. It is impressive to say the least. Arguably one the greatest sportsman of our time.
Haha he’s gonna get number 8 next year too. Get in there Lewis! What a once in a lifetime talent. Not just in motorsport but in all of sport.
I have never believed that racism on Formel 1 ,Hamilton is an amazing driver and what has it with his skin color.Umbelively ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤love him
Watching this and seeing the love he had for McLaren and all they did for him it must have been tough to walk away and go to a fledgling team like Mercedes. Arguably that's the best career move he could have made, but as he says, timing is everything.
I'd like to see Lewis today reacting on what he said years ago
The secret of success
Watch the greatest and work hard
I would love to see a reaction video from Hamilton it self. Truly already a legend! How Niki would say: Vor Ihm und seiner Leistung kann man nur den Hut ziehen!
and now he is a 8 time wdc wow!
Lewis 2006: I would be happy with one championship.
Lewis 2020: "Gets Schumacher's helmet" "being a 7 times world champion"
Me now: This man predicted the future 7 times?!
HERO
