Wish Niki could have seen him today
He did
He took his cap off from heaven.
Best comment ever see
I said that to myself when he crossed the finish line.
Lewis definitely can’t achieve the same results without Niki recruit him to Merc
Started from humble beginnings, he definitely is the real deal of a racer. With no billionaire or an ex-racing driver father to help him along, he had it all to do. His story is that of resilience, hard work and self-belief. When emotions are put aside, people will see him as THE greatest racing driver of all time. I do not know if anyone like him will come along in my lifetime. But I am so thankful he exist when I am still alive.
he is NOT the greatest racing driver of all time
@@jvr2707 yes the only one have 7wdc and beat 100 wins
@@kingofjustice5014 Yes the only one who did it with the best cars of f1 history

Amen
How many times did Lewis Hamilton overrule his team's strategy or advice to win which tells you it's not just about the car or the team that's the differential factor in a championship race.
His haters seem to forget this- that he is also a great STRATEGIST and a superb manager of his tyres. furthermore, Lewis is so motivated in keeping himself fit, his focus, HIS CONSISTENCY etc.. All those personal xters and more are what culminated in him being the GOAT that he is, but haters seem to focus more on the car he drives than the TALENT and magnificent driver that he is.
If he wins an 8th title, for me, HE WILL BE THE GOAT of all GOATS, not only in F1, but in sports generally.
@@OkA-007 hes a great driver but he aint the goat no matter what because its that car that he drives in
@@chron2703 He's one of the GOATS
@@MDgp5dl nah
@@chron2703 so with your logic bottas should be a 4 time world champion and rosberg a 3 time world champion
Thank you guys for giving Lewis the credit he deserves for his immense achievements!!!
You mean Mercedes? It's their achievement.
@@cinegraphics so you are saying that if Mercedes gives you Car 44...you can win 7 championship ???
If Max or any other drivers win...they are given the credits but when Lewis wins its because of the car ??? Wow im amazed at how you hate someone !!!
@@salmaan_16 I'm not a racing driver, so... no I can't. But we've seen what happens when you give that car to Russell. The driver which is now at 19th place. He easily overtook everyone. Including Bottas. The vice-champ of the world was overtaken by a rookie who is normally 19th place. Kinda like Mazepin is now. So, sorry that I can observe facts, as opposed to LH fans. Also, no other driver in the world was given the best car for 7 seasons in a row. Usually teams get 2 seasons of dominance in a row. And that's it. FIA then introduces changes to slow them down. Having abnormally dominant 7 seasons in a row, that's just sick. You can't admit someone's skill when having such a present from FIA.
@@cinegraphics Bruh, you come on to a video, specifically praising Lewis, then find a comment, thanking F1 for that praise, and then take a huge dump on it. How pathetic is your life that you felt the need to do this?
How pathetic is life of those who need to constantly praise (using all available media) someone who achieved something that ton of other drivers would achieve in the same hardware? As soon as the artificial glorification stops, will the exact and opposite correction stop.
I think Seb put it best in his post race interview. While it's difficult to compare across generations, Lewis has shown he is exceptional. He has consistently driven his heart out and is the only driver who has won at least one race in every year he has competed.
He don't know how in 2009
"I'm working on a masterpiece and it's not quite finished". LH
Finally someone remembered what he said after he won his 6th title 🙌🏽
It will only be finished when he decided to hang up his racing boots.....
Is this the book that he promised to write for the long question German guy?
He is going for the 69
It will be finished when he overtakes Schumacher. Although that's more the goal of his handlers, than him.
If you ask him, with all the money he earned, he'd retire tomorrow. But his handlers wouldn't allow it.

Lewis is a phenom. The greatest champion of all time.
michael phelps?????
@Greg Salinas I would love to see him drive that car. He would not be able to do it. Just like how Lewis would not be able to accomplish what Phelps do. Why? Because your logic is whack and irrelevant to bring someone from another sport into this conversation
Do you know Ronaldo Is ?

BINOTTO
WAS
THE
IMPOSTOR
Binotto OUT
@@jenson6214 yea he vented from elec in med, i saw it on cams, cuz he wasnt going in med, only out. yea i agree vote him out
Binotto vented into nav and killed the strategy guy.
@@BudgiePanic 🤣
Tbf, He was in charge of assisting in the factory to help with the strategy and data of the race, which explains why their strategy is much more "better/wiser" in a sense
Biggest questions though, why was this race so early and why was that champagne so flat?
That wasn't real champagne.
Because at local the time was 13:00
Race started 1pm local time there and then maybe its cos its a Muslim country and alcohol is banned?
m8 i had to get up at 5 am to watch the race
I was thinking the same thing, they might as well poured water on each other. And don’t get me started on the time..ugh..I’m in America and for me the race started at 5:00am.
Lewis Hamilton is a freak of nature, and I mean that in the best possible way. He can beat you in so many ways!
And most importantly: In many proper ways... RIGHT hum Schumi?
@@Octolicia Totally agreed. Schumi definitely had a reputation for questionable moves, but everyone agrees Lewis drives clean (except for Albon)
@@DaylightDigital The most popular of all was probably the clash between him and Villeneuve. It resulted with Schumacher's 2nd place to the championship being taken away from him. Hamilton is the prime example of how you should never give up. (Is that Glock?)
@@Octolicia “Did we just become best friends?!” lol
It’s because he’s obsessed with winning. Like he can’t even loose little fake competitions that mean nothing. He HAS to win even if it’s a petty win.
A sterling drive and a race worthy of a 7-time champion.
One of the best drivers of all time for sure. It's pointless to compare different eras but of his generation Lewis is definitely the most proven.
If we don't count Verstappen, Leclerc and a few others...
@@cinegraphics this again 😧
It would be very impolite from me to let the lies win.
I'm just stating the obvious. Most of the people on the planet agree with me.
@@cinegraphics Leclerc has been here for two years. Verstappen has won absolutely nothing yet. Ricciardo was beaten in identical cars by Bottas in a previous category.
@@joshd171294 really? Comparing F1 and F2 cars and saying that F1 car is faster? Because that's basically the difference between Merc and Ferrari. And regarding Verstappen's car, even though it's slightly slower, he has managed to overtake Hamilton in different races. But the reliability of his car is horrible. Look how many times he had to retire this season. So, the 2nd fastest car is totally unreliable and breaks too often, while other cars are either very slow, or both unreliable and slow. It's like comparing F1 vs F2 cars and concluding that F1 drivers are winning solely because of their talent.
He's definitely one of the greatest athletes of all time. *Legend* in every sense and he's not even finished yet !
He is a clean racer, congrat champion... you are the man
Albon: Am I a yoke to you?
@@mihena8596 no offence, but Albon is a yoke as he thinks the outside of a corner is his right. Does the same with Perez, Sainz and Gasly, and then with Kvyat will cry 'they race me hard'
2016 Abu Dhabi was not that clean 😂
@@dereklacap8020 so you would’ve preferred for him not to do whatever he could to win the championship and give it up ?
Yeah but it was not that clean, but I like that he fought for it and I am not taking anything away from Lewis's achievements, but I just don't like the term "clean racer"
How anyone can be in any doubt is beyond me to drive like he does week in week out is awesome. The stress and strain put on the body during a race is intense and you need to be in peek physical condition to achieve what Hamilton has. I have done some driving courses during which we were informed that consentrating for 40 minutes twice a day for a week was hard work and after the week I was wiped out to do it for the best part of two hours at the speed he does especially in the rain can only be applauded 👍
Well said.
I did go kart....my ribs are sorr. Literally stopped after 6 long laps due to the cornering speed
Let's be frank though Lewis has always been with the top teams, he's never had to scratch and claw save for that wonderful 2008 championship win-which I feel is the only championship Hamilton truly earned through grit and perseverance. When things get too easy and you're winning races and championships like they were free Happy Meals-then calling Hamilton one of the greatest to ever do it is questionable even if his driving ability is impeccable.
@@jdbruiser The same can be leveled at Schumacher or Vettel you have to have the combination of the two a great driver and a great team. If you look at Bottas this year he has had the same car and pace yet has not been able to contain Hamilton. Hamilton has been lucky for sure being picked up by Williams as he was but that was as a result of his early karting ability. I know the arguments will go on and at the end of the day we each have our own opinions but in the words of Jeremy Clarkson "I'm right " 🤣
@@davidwalker8546 Vettel was with Toro Rosso and had to prove himself there first and Michael Schumacher debut was with Jordan. I feel like Lewis and the Mercedes team are without challengers and in my mind true champions fight for their crowns. Sure Michael was on the podium of every race in 2002 and gained a straightforward championship that year-and 2004 was another stellar year for him, but he had to push for it in 03. I guess when it comes down to it I think Lewis winning race after race makes F1 more boring when it isn't if you look elsewhere in the field-I just don't want to see Hamilton win constantly it does nothing but make me feel bored. Oh well I still watch anyway.
Lewis is such an inspiration on so many levels. Congratulations Lewis!
If you look at results he is, lewis has done a top job, and if you hear the radio you realise how hard he worked and how thankful he is. Just amazing to see this
If I listen to the radio, he is lying and playing mind games every race.
@@kaziqta5053 you are blinded by your ignorance. Its sad honestly. Grow up.
@@Plardo exactly man.
@@kaziqta5053 that's silly.
Who is he playing mind games on? The other drivers don't hear his radio comms and we don't either.
Who is he lying to? You? You better get over yourself.
What you insipidly think are lies and mind games, is actually LH communicating with his team, every single detail of his car's performance during the race.
@@kaziqta5053 that's the mentality of an elite athlete, to keep pushing for greatness even after achieving so much. Something a blind hater like you can't comprehend.
Athlete would be a better term than sportspeople
They changed it now
THEY SAW YOUR COMMENT, btw I think the editors of the F1 channel are from France. I saw them upload a video with the title not edited yet and it was a French written title.
The f1 drivers considered as athletes idiot
They don't even know how much those drivers train behind cameras. How they kept a fit body and maintain a jockey body to fit in those tight spaces
Have you ever drive a race car , after the race it feels like someone beat you repeatedly with a baseball bat. Thats how i felt when i did my first race.
It’s not even a question anymore. He is the GOAT! Spread Positivity and Optimism 💯
If we don't count the absolutely dominant Mercedes era that has no competition, he's got 1 WDC.
It's an achievement, but not that big.
He is not even close to be one of the greatest. He had best car for seven consecutive seasons and he was beaten by his team mate Rosberg.
Without that Mercedes car he is average driver.
@@WhiteNinjainblack tbh yeah
@@WhiteNinjainblack nico beat him on his 3rd attempt said he can’t commit like that and had to retire so your comment is pure grease
@@WhiteNinjainblack bottas has the same car and is usually always out performed by Lewis. Don't hate
Yes. He has revolutionised the sport like sachin tendulker in cricket, roger federer in tennis, Phil Taylor in darts, Ronaldo and Messi football. He deserves respect even if you ain’t his biggest fan.
How has he revolutionized the sport? By driving the best car of all times? There are many drivers who could do that.
He didn't contribute much to development of that car. Nor did he report the foul play that made his car dominant (of course he didn't, since he profited from it).
So, how exactly did he improve the sport? By showing that cheating pays out?
Congratulations Lewis Hamilton, don't stop, go get one or two more.
With that car it can get a gazillion WDCs more. Without that car..... he would have only 1 WDC. That's not what I'm saying, that's what many F1 drivers have said, including Norris, Alonso and many of the older ones.
@@cinegraphics 😂😭so ur saying that he’s only been the best driver in the grid once ever, okay, he wouldn’t have 7 but to say he’d only have 1 makes it very clear your a hater
@@daviddowling2822 what I'm saying is that if you remove Merc from his career, he only has 1 WDC. When he had 2nd/3rd best car from 2010 to 2013 his final rank was 4th or 5th. While Alonso, who had a very similar car, was regularly 2nd, except in one season. All the remaining WDCs that LH won were from 2014 onward, with the most dominant car that ever existed in F1 history. There is no era in F1 past that saw such a huge dominance for such a long period of time. In fair conditions, having the best car for a maximum of 3 years, his realistic number of WDCs would be between 3 and 4.
@@cinegraphics when you put Redbull away from Vettel he will have 0 WCs so? Is that your argument? When you remove Ferrari Schumacher will have 2 Wcs i guess? The best drivers will get into the best cars!
@@M0stafa.r there is a difference. Vettel's car was dominant for 2.5 years and he scored 4 titles. MSC senior forced Ferrari to make a better car. And never had the most dominant car for more than 2 years in a row. In several seasons there were 7 different winners in 7 different races. And MSC would win in the end. That was the level of competition. Now compare that to absolutely the longest technological dominance in the history of F1, from 2014 to 2020. It was just too easy. If you gave it to Kimi, he'd win too.
Thinking back, I've seen Michael beat all the records, and now get to see Hamilton beating all the records. Yeah, that is kinda cool. Still not a fan of Hamilton, but I have to respect the achievements he's made. It is truly impressive.
Bro we don't need to know if u r a fan or not. Just congratulate him.
@@stevenjoseph6048 Why not try to set an example of how it's possible to not be a fan and still be respectful? Too many people out there are dividing the world into 'haters' and 'fanboys', disregarding the possibility of respecting his greatness and still not support him.
@@charamia9402 A fair and balanced comment. I happen to think Hamilton is, just about, the greatest driver of all time (even though it's difficult to compare drivers from the different eras of F1) but it doesn't make me a fanboy. I also think Seb, Max, Daniel and others are amazing drivers and am delighted to see a new crop of youngsters coming through like Charles, Pierre, Lando and George but it irritates me no end to read such negative comments about Hamilton. Today showed just what an amazing driver he is and proved it's not ALL about the car when excellent drivers in the rain like Max, just couldn't match him. I believe in respect where respect is due, as seemingly do you.
@@robthornton6288 He most ceirtanly is among the top 5 through history. I don't think it possible to pick one from 70 years of racing, considering the technological developement etc. He is one of the fairest and cleanest champions. One of the most talented and determinated. He is magnificent.
Still, my #1 is - and will probably always be - Schumi. Because that's emotion rather that statistics. And if Hamilton drove for Ferrari, I'd probably like him more 😉
And still. How lucky am I, to have seen both of the 7 times world champions through their carreers. To have watched them both grow and excell. That's what I'm reminding myself of today.
Do you have to say weather or not you're a fan. It's like people can't just say he's done great. It's like it is bad even look like you are a fan or like him. Crazy.
Short answer: yes
Long answer: yes
That was so like kimi

@@NikhilRVS you are right i see no lie going for his 12th world title why is no one talking about this
@@at-tegreatest3739 Noone dares to question his skill, that's why, unlike Lewis Hamilton with his measly 7 world titles who doesn't even compare to GOAT Mahaveer.
The Lord and our savior
Hamilton WILL be remembered as the greatest F1 Driver of all time as soon as he retires, people in decades from now will talk about him. No doubt about it.
This guy is beating every single record out there, he's literally setting the bar higher than it's ever been in the history of this sport, how can you deny it?
Yeah, well, I could beat him if I had a full size Lamborghini and he had a small battery-powered car for 3-year olds.
Would that make me greater than "the greatest one"? Yep. At least by your criteria. Because you don't care that he had the abnormally dominant car for 7 years in a row. No other team has ever been allowed to keep their dominance for that long. F1 would change the regulations to break the dominance. But he was left to keep the dominance, hence it cannot be compared to normal conditions.
It's easy to deny......2011 & 2016 are just the starters 😅😁🤭
Just like in the all time highest point scoring list in the NBA.....the person wayyyy down the list in #5 spot is widely regarded as the greatest NBA player of all time 😉😊
Because he’s nowhere near the best
Lewis is the GOAT. He is also the cleanest champion in F1 history, by that I mean, never cheated or did anything unethical or unsportsmanlike to achieve his goal. Can’t say that for most of the champions...
Haha. I wouldn't say that. Spygate... He has lied to stewards... He blamed Mercedes for sabotaging his car so that they can have a German WC in a German car. And so on.
👍🏾👌🏾👍🏾👌🏾👍🏾👌🏾👍🏾
Small useless point but my opinion of Lawrence Barretto has shot up this season,
Same thoughts. He established himself from being the "talk us through it" guy of earlier years and I really like listening to him nowadays.

Yes. I’m not even a LH44 supporter, but if we revere his predecessors, we must revere him too, lest we diminish the the accomplishments of all. He’s earned his spot amongst the greatest, and he’ll walk away from the sport as THE greatest.

Not even up for debate of course he is. Factually.
Just about anyone else in that Mercedes could have done what Lewis did. Just look at Rosberg and Bottas. Are they better than literally everyone else on the field after Lewis?
@@SnapquesterMage that’s why Rosberg retired immediately, cause he could achieve the same thing.

@@commudus6256 Well yeah. Rosberg went from totally irrelevant to 2nd, 2nd, 1st in WDC once the Mercedes Turbo Era started. Of course he wanted to retire. He knew that he was being propped up by the power of his car, and would rather go out on a high note.
I am from Argentina, Fangio and Senna were my unmatched idols. Today I have three idols. And I gotta say.. Lewis` driving, really, thrills me like Ayrton`s did...though, my heart is still green and yellow a bit...Lewis is awesome.. truly remarkable
Well said. Respect.
I think the public don’t appreciate the amount of fitness and dedication these f1 drivers need to drive these cars - then there’s the sheer consistency of Lewis - as a sportsman and as a driver he’s undoubtedly at the top of his profession and easily among some of the worlds best ever sportsman. Congratulations to Lewis on 7 titles - I was lucky to watch Schumacher win 7 - both fantastic fantastic drivers . I would love to see Lewis go to Ferrari now . Hopefully ARISE SIR LEWIS in the future

@@samsam18200 You need a jar for all that salt?
@@samsam18200 can you elaborate what kind of priority should Merc give Bottas and why do they need to do it? If Merc is giving LH unfair advantage over Bottas, then Bottas should not have taken fastest lap in previous FP sessions, pole positions and won races. Not sure if you even watched the video or the actual Turkish Grand Prix, in order to see what separates great drivers from the mediocre drivers. Each driver provides feedback on the development of their car, they don't just show up to drive (those who do for sure won't be able to setup their car according to their strengths).
Im A grown man crying with joy as he crossed the line ....
Thank you lewis, I said from the 1st race ever in F1 ..this guy could better Schumacher ...
Long may you continue to shine ..
Me too!
What a wonderful driver. He deserves this accomplishment.
Hear, hear, I couldn't have put it better myself.
Fan or not you are witnessing the greatest driver of all time. ( and I remember Jim Clark)
Lewis is a HORRIBLE driver, he only wins because of his car, look at the race of this vid he span like 10 times, and because of his car he took the win. Lewis is so lucky to be driving the best car, if he drove an alpha tauri he would end up last.
He is the Greatest 💪👍
He may have achieved legend status now, like Kobe Bryant, joe Montana, Federer, Gretzky, tony hawk, names that will live on until the sun eats this planet
"Both Logic and Math are taking a serious hit today" 😉
Logic is taking a hit from how Hamilton is still rising above everyone else.
Math is taking a hit from Will and Lawrence 😂
Will predicted a Seb podium👏🏼. Very happy ❤️
This video doesn’t need to exist.

Play 3:10 - 5:00 on repeat for ALL the haters. THANK YOU Lawrence & Will. Thank you.
So what? It obviously only really proves that he was better than Bottas today. This is not a spec series and a driver can only drive as fast as the car physically allows him to. It's up to the driver to get as much out of the car as possible. And this is fact. Is he one of the greatest? Maybe. Is he THE greatest? Maybe. But it is impossible to say this just because he really has had the best material over the last seven years. And as I said all he indeed really proved in the last 4 years was that he is better than Bottas.

I just love Hamilton, definitely GOAT 💪🏾
Except the small minority of delusional fans, nobody believes he is GOAT.
It doesn't matter how many titles he won, but how he won them.
Ayrton Senna was definitely better and F1 fans know it.
@@cinegraphics nope lots of people thinks he's the goat even people who aren't his fans. He's also the most famous f1 driver ever.
Actually, from all the top drivers, he's got the smallest group of fans that actually like him. And from the rest of the audience, most of them don't respect his results. So much, that he has special coverage by media to artificially pump up his "achievements". No other driver in the history was so much artificially supported by the media, and against the wishes of audience, like him. Ayrton Senna didn't need this artificial glory. He didn't need someone to make audience like him. Because audience liked him anyway. He had real charisma and real glory. And also, was a better driver than your "goat".
@@cinegraphics Actually most popular opinion is that Hamilton is the G.O.A.T so stay mad kid
@@toty179 not, actually it's not. That opinion is only spread by media. Among the audience there aren't many people thinking he's better than Senna or other great drivers.
100% true! People who say no either misread the title or are just crying haters
100% they are athletes. The physical and mental skill, competition, precision, practice, regime. Why wouldn't they be athletes?
The thing that separates Lewis from other drivers is that he NEVER gives up. No matter what setbacks he faces in races he always manages to pull it back. He is easily the most consistent driver of all time, and in my opinion, the best. Short of being forced to retire there is almost no event in a race that can stop him from being atleast on the podium if not first.
Thanks for shining a light on his input on what he needs to the engineers to make the car work better for him.
One of the greatest along Schumacher, Senna and Lauda.
Prost?
Schumacher was a cheat in one of his 7 titles remember tho 👍🏻 lewis is the greatest driver in the world and the greatest athlete in the world 🌎
Schumacher , Senna & Lauda were not in the same league as this guy . He is the GOAT

If he stays in Mercedes, then yes. If Mercedes replaces him by a ficus, then Bottas is the next winner.
If Mercedes fire them both and replace with trained turtles, then the next WDC winner is...... a turtle!!
@@cinegraphics actually if he doesn't stay at Mercedes, I think Max can have a great chance too
@@TG--xy9qn as long as Hamilton is in the game, his protectors will find a way to make him win. Even if it means giving another team the same presents that they gave to Mercedes.
G.O.A.T Ham👑
Im afraid that’s a title him and Schumacher share until he wins his 8th title.
@@motorsportfan1246 Lewis is the goat
not only is he one of the greatest athletes of all time, he is an ambassador for his sport to the world and a role model for all to look up to. His name will be remembered forever in the sport and beyond.
Congrats Lewis Hamilton Seven-Time F1 World Champion!!!!!!!
You kept your head when most around you were losing theirs, today and many times before. Long may You continue to set an excellent example to all those that you inspire and know that you have saved many that needed it....
Lewis Hamilton being the greatest F1 driver is not even a question. He is a great F1driver.
Is not the greatest
@@matteopianezzola9405 Next year he will win the eighth title. He is the Greatest F1 driver ever, just accept it. who can you compare Lewis Hamilton with Please tell me ? Michael Schumacher was a Great F1driver, but Lewis Hamilton is better then him. Michael Schumacher himself said Lewis Hamilton will be one of the Greatest F1 driver of his Generation. He just didn't know at the time that Lewis was going to be the Greatest of all time.
@@williams8891 are you seriously saying that because he is the most successful driver? 😂😂😂😂
@@williams8891 you can't compare than different era mercedes era more long than the Ferrari one FIA mercedes since 2014 to 2020 this is why Hamilton is winning so mich
The greatest collector of cups. That we can all agree with.
But you can't have absolutely the best car for 7 years in a row and call it a talent.
If my grandma had such a car for 30 years in a row I'm sure she'd won 7 titles in her career. Would that make her GOAT? Nope.
is the even a question?
yes, he is.
@OneAboveAll Celestial sure bub
Only if this is an answer!
Athletes? No.
Drivers? Absolutely. Max may have the edge on pure speed, but Lewis has tools in his toolbox that no other driver has - and arguably never has had.
His racecraft is an absolute joy to watch for those in the know.
14 seasons as a f1 driver and 7 world championship titles. 50% of winning. a wrecking ball charging everybody else. the greatest ever.
Answer: Definitely YES! And he showed all his talent today, 30 seconds ahead of Checo and even lapped his teammate
Nah, the best ever is Fangio
@@metro3313 yes
@@metro3313 Fangio, Clark, Stewart
It’s been 4 months and I’m still crying
He is genuinely the greatest driver of all time. I dont think we’ll such greatness again in our lifetime.
in terms of world champion title in motorsport theres still another one above, Sebastien Loeb with 9 titles in wrc
drift kekw
How many does Rossi have?
El doctor has 9, MM93 has 8 with the lower divisions and is going to get more if he stops hurting himself. If one stops thinking only FIA series exist we have: Dixon is only 1 Titel behind AJ who has 7 (who also won Sebring, LM) as well as Jimmy Johnson who has 7 titles to his name... But f1 and f1 Fans being f1 fans... I mean how can you call Ham a goat if there were ppl like Mario Andretti who drove everything and didn’t have a 21 race schedule but a 50+ race schedule bcoz he drove everything and winning in all of them, or driver like Richard Petty, AJ Foyt, Graham Hill, Dan Gurney, JPM... If Ham is a goat, what are those ppl, who not only showed their skill in F1 but also in sportscars, on Dirttracks, on Ovals, in Sprint and endurance races? I also make the same Argument for MSC, and I am from Germany.
@@Fivecorr Don't try to be little Hamilton achievement . F1 car is the hardest car to Drive . Try it on a F1 simulator .
@@donaldtracey4541 moto gp is hardest
u can literally fall from motor with 300 km/h injure you so badly
3:10 Journalist of the Year! :D
That maths section really made me laugh - thank you for being 2 absolute gents chatting F1 from an inside perspective
Michael was far too aggressive. Lewis isn't even as aggressive as Max and he still wins.
The real question is:
What the heck was wrong with the champagne?
It's a Muslim country, hello. It has to be non alcoholic champagne. Im guessung that is why. However, I have limited knowledge as to how that may or may not affect the flatness of the champagne.
@@AAde-or3qz And Abu Dhabi or Bahrain are Christian countries ?
@@AAde-or3qz In Turkey, public celebration with alcohol is prohibited. They can drink as much as they want in private. It's the rule of that country. Don't generalise saying Muslim country etc
@@Lamster66 The point Bobby is making is that in Abu Dhabi and Bahrain the "champagne" is still fizzy/bubbly and sprays as you would expect it to even though it's rose water. He's not actually asking if they are Christian countries.
Had been in the fridge for 9 years now, what do you expect? 😂
I dont think they praised Micheal this much. Guess because he is german and not british
Grow up.
I’m sure they did, it’s just our memories of the moments fade
???, they did praise Schumacher but the reason Hamilton is being praised is because it's a step in history and no one thought Schumis record would've been beaten
Or maybe, there wasn't a huge RUclips and social media presence back then for everyone to see?
The fact that people are even questioning Lewis' greatness is insulting.
Now and for ever he is best ever !!! From Argentina congratulations
Undoubtedly, yes.
Yes, next question ?
why is this even a question. Lewis is the GOAT, never cheated a WDC and has mega skills when it comes to recovery drives
Should've been 8 man, that 2007 rookie season still leaves a scar on me.
He is the greatest of all time, no doubt about it. Well done Lewis 🙌🏾🇬🇧🙌🏾
This was the best race of the year!
He's thrived whether in the best car or not. Hyper talent but also incredible application. Very Schumacher-esque as he's aged.
Lawrence has been an excellent addition to the team , his views are insightful , well thought out , and cleverly expressed
Congratulations lewis hamilton
Petronas win of the world
Awesome lewis hamilton
From malaysia
Greatest of *all* time - some haters will refer to some 50 yo man back in the 1950s who had it way harder and did much more... 🙄🙄
Well i think even Lewis himself would say those guys were GOAT’s and madman. Early Formula was like when you drive out of track you usually die.
Well they had it harder in that half of them died.
Lauda, Senna, Mansell, Hakkinen, Raikkonen, Barrichello, Schumacher, Prost, Coulthard, Jackie Stewart, Jim Clark, Fangio, Alonso, Vettel, Rosberg.
The guy who still holds the records for most fastest laps by far but they say he had weak car and his feet and hands added horsepower and torque to make it faster.
@@benjamin7114 whaaat?!
Whose hereafter the FIA has robbed Hamilton from winning the 8th title it's insane? The amount of mental strength and resolve that he and his dad have during their lifetime is completely uber and godly levels.
To wake up at 5am to watch this crazy race was deff worth it!
I always felt that Lewis Hamilton is one of the best drivers ever! Folks give Shumi the title of GOAT, but before Shumi won a championship, Senna had to die.
F1 world... don’t be shy to call him the greatest! His stats tell that tale!
mercede's stats*
No Jim Clark was the best ever
To see lewis grow with every championship leaves nothing but respect. From the brat that he was when fighting with rosberg to what he has become now is really to admire and shows why he is the best
The other thing about the Schumacher comparison, is that people seem to forget how much help schumi had from his team mates. They were all number 2 drivers, even moving over on the last lap to hand him victories, EARLY in the season! ...Hamilton has had rivals in his sister cars. I mean he had Alonso in his debut season ffs! The guy is one of the greats.
Before retiring, I wish I could see Hamilton in a not so dominant car and still win the world title !
He did it in 2008
Done in 2008.
Can we see another title in Hybrid era ? Mercedes is way ahead of the rest in the hybrid era !
@@BQNE21 I guess you are right. 2008 gives me trauma :(
@@BQNE21 really?
Of course he is. Certainly within motorsport.
H44 is a class of his own he got the strategy & a cool head to win an chaotic race
The stats say it all. And he's still not done. Congrats Lewis.
