The world drivers standings do not make happy reading for Sir Lewis Hamilton at the moment. Last year at Imola, Max Verstappen made a daring move up the inside of turn one on Lewis Hamilton that really set the tone for the rest of the season. While it was the beginning of a season-long battle last year, Max’s pass of Lewis this year was a reminder to the seven time world champion of just how far he is off the pace this year. Let’s take a look at just what happened at Imola and why Lewis struggled so much.

Welcome to Seb’s world Lewis. Vettel’s pace suffered greatly when the new hybrid cars came onto the grid.
It’s very possible but it’s only been 3 races so far
Well engineers didn't know how to fine tune Lewis car. If Lewis himself can't give them input about what he would like to change on his car.
That seemed like that but it was was purely because of the mercedes hybrid engine dominance. Even with that ferrari vettel was able to compete that in itself is very good driving.
Shut the. Up
Remember that Ferrari had "illegal fuel mapping"
It is possible that after Lewis’s competitive runs against his teammate Rosberg and Vettel’s stint in Ferrari that he became too complacent in the years that had gone by. Leading too many races with no competition in front could lead to those situations. That is why Russell is performing better, as he had to endure three grueling years of maximizing a Williams shitbox into a competitive one. Mercedes being midcedes this season is just chump change for Russell’s experience
Can't beat father time, simple as that. Lol.
Yeah, Hamilton would have no more then 3 WDC if it was not that dominant Mercedes. He is way to overrated. And the fact that both McLaren and Mercedes were fucking the other teammate's race for Lewis to go in front just shows that Hamilton is not that good, in fact only Rosber tried to beat Hamilton and he did.. And is Rosberg a good driver? He is decent but not that much isn't he? There are at least 4 drivers better than Lewis on the grid now. And it's sad how he go so successful when other driver like Alonso who are far better got their career fucked up...
@@viktorstanchev1888 well yeah there are 4 more better drivers now because no one beats father time bruh, unless you're a god.
Agree with Victor!! The better faster car, must win. So Mercedes Partonas, must get the trophy's. Or Hamilton and Botas must share them!!
@@viktorstanchev1888 the fact that u demand perfection from Hamilton shows what u subconsciously really think of him your agenda is showing sonavuh russian bij
I think its mostly because of how Russell experienced with Williams and cope with the car. I would say Mercedes should focus on Russell more as he is the future of Mercedes.
That the absolute truth
That's a good point
Aww poor lulu in the third fastest car not scoring points? What about seb in the slowest car scoring points?
💀 the Mercedes isn't even faster than the alpha Romeo
3rd fastest? qualifying 11th and 13th.
AM is def not the slowest car
Third fastest car what are you smoking, can’t wait for Mercedes to get this car sorted just to stick two fingers up at the knockers.
@@TheChazas Mercedes is 3rd in the championship. Thanks to Rusell showing the true potential of the car, of course.
103 wins 183 podiums the guy didn't forget how to drive but he does carry a backpack full of haters🤣🤣🤣🤣
he can drive... clearly. But there is no doubt George is faster and has better racecraft at this point. It's either Lewis has lost a step and or he's had such superior equipment we've not noticed his mediocrity. Gotta think back to how dominate George was over Bottas when he subbed for Hami. Made Bottas look like he was driving a GP2 car. Hard to imagine, but sure does appear the shine has been rubbed off Lewey. No wonder he wanted Merc to keep VB...lol
No wonder , he's over rated
He is finished
He can drive, but he probably forgot how to drive in a non-dominant car in dirty air (meaning middle or back of the pack). He'll figure it out. He has to. He's Lewis. Freakin. Hamilton. Sir Lewis, if you please.
@David Rubinstein exactly!!!
LH could never drive a bad car quickly....unlike Senna, Schumacher, Alonso.
Absolutely spot on.
Vettel in Toro Rosso, Button in BAR, Hill in Arrows... all of them even winning with those cars.
@@cambrigeteam1354 but Toro Rosso in Italy 2008 was 1st or 2nd fastest car on the rainy Monza conditions
The funny thing is, when I saw Russell leap frog Hamilton in Australia because of the safety car, I said, HATERS AND DOUBTERS and going to take this and RUN with it! I also called it at Imola because of what happened in Quatar. You guys are something else.
The team messed up his stop, but all haters are busy talking up Russel. Russel had a bit of luck. The haters should be careful and check out the other team mates Sir Lewis.
@@petejackson7976 let them talk. I'm coming right back here soon lol. I expect a different song from them then.
Russell placed 4th in Imola with an improper setup (setup for wets) in an undriveable car. Lewis -13th. That sez it all
@@fixitmonkey8947 the opposite, but I'll let you have this one.
@@fixitmonkey8947 It was Lewis who had the wet race set up.
Most telling Hamilton stat at Imola:
5 cars that started behind him finished ahead of him. (Ocon finished behind Hamilton in the final results because of a 5 second penalty.)
Most telling stat in F1: Lewis is the most successful driver of all time.
@Jonathan Pickersgill, TY for your true fact- based comment👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👩🏻🦰💜💜💜💛💪🏽
And why did he earn that 5 seconds time penalty again? Remind the folks coupled with Hamilton’s poor stop. Unsafe release, they might also be fined.
@@thescientist2438 you mean his car
@@ThePointlessBox_ Like you could have done with his car I suppose?
The way he got out of the car at Baku … and nobody helping him …
Here is the facts, the one race Hamilton finished ahead of Russell the gap was less than two seconds and it was the first race of the season so there was no way Russel was going to attack Hamilton. Since then the time gaps are massive, In Saudi Russel hammered Hamilton by over 40 seconds and in Imola almost a minute difference. To say it's about luck is grasping at straws. Fact is Russel is giving Hamilton a good smacking at the moment.
Point?
Haha yeah but to be honest I think we’re be to hard on Lewis.
We don’t know how good that car was last year, maybe it was a lot better than RB and it was able to mask Lewis decline.
Lewis is a great driver but I feel like the car has masked his decline over the years. He’s 37, he’s basically the new kimi if you think about it.
I wouldn’t expect anything from him anymore.
@@y2kbugunlimited obviously it was alway the car.
@@alanjm1234 Not true, Lewis didn't do a tire change in Miami when he had time to and it cost him. Just like the end of last year he made the wrong call and lost. Fortunately this time it didn't cost him a world championship. This time it's just one more loss to a rookie in F1, when compared to him.
@@wlk2408
Which is why he thought his strategist should have helped him with the bigger picture, they didn’t, and it left him vulnerable to jeopardy like a SC, but he wasn’t in a position to gamble like George whose poor quali put him out of position. A fairer comparison would have been if both mercs started same row and raced head to head. So far we haven’t seen that so the current results difference between the two is really down to circumstance.
The car is undriveable but the same car with another driver gets a P4. ✌️👏👏👏👏👏
Say that again ?
Russell is pure talent !!
I think the main difference between Lewis and George, is that George learnt to drive with a bad car, and he won't waste that much time in improving the setup, instead, his efforts are in learning to drive the bad car straight away. Seb and Lewis are just not used to these kind of things. I think Seb is getting better, but poor Lewis is still trying to get to terms with it.
I honestly don’t think Lewis needs to prove anything to anybody he’s a 7 time world champion. I don’t think George Russell can ever become a world champion not when Charles Leclerc, Lando and Max are dominating
Give George Russell a better car, he would certainly be challenging for the championship
@@claudebenjamin8800 he’s got a Mercedes you’re telling me he can win a world championship with a Mercedes??? George Russell is a great
driver but it’s not at that level.
I don't think Russell is in a different category to Rosberg or Button. They were fast and consistent and both beat Hamilton over a season marred by reliability and problems. 2022 is one of those seasons for Hamilton. I think only Alonso and Verstappen can be mentioned in the same breath as him.
Russell came from Williams which was like Mercedes now, little difference so he can adjust much better and faster while lewis Hamilton used to drive a car which was setup for championship fight, all of a sudden the setup of the car is not favouring him that's y he is struggling, anyways once they solve their problem with the car setup, Russell and Hamilton will be matched, and it will be fight to be watched..
First sensible and informed comment.
"Williams which was like Mercedes now"...Lol! Go figure...
LH supposed to be this great driver with amazing racecraft... i dont believe it...
i agree, Lewis had the luxury of driving one of the fastest cars on track for the last years, George had to fight with less performing material, so in a sense used to driving with difficulties and may be able to deal better with the challenges they suffer with their bad design, If you used to always having the best without any proper challenge it takes more time to adapt i suppose. Max however is a driver that seems to adapt to changes much better too past seasons, while his teammates struggled with the cars, now they have a new setup it seems that Max and Checo both know how to get the best out of the engine (if there s no fuelproblem) But it wouldnt surprise me if George keeps outperforming Lewis, even McLaren who has had similar problems and using the same powerunit seems to be doing better since the last 2 races, noone at Mclaren expected they would get on podium. Daniel was pleasantly surprised when he heard Lando made it to 3rd.
I think the skill sets are different. Lewis is good at consistency while driving a well setup car. George is good at driving are poorly tuned car, but when it comes to consistency he lacks Lewis's practice. The same applies when now Lewis is driving an inconsistent car, so his strength are pretty much useless in these kind of situation, he just lacks the practices that George been getting previously at Williams. If the car continues like this, George will come out on top, just like Charles was much better than Seb at Ferrari.
I also believed that he still has a 2021 hangover "Hell I Still Do!
British? The large majority of the world celebrates 2021.
Why!!
I feel that Hamilton is trying to fine tune and feel what the car is doing . He will have tried many variations in terms of driving style adjustment etc etc
He would have tried a variation of setup adjustment but nothing has helped . The older you get you use more skill and less physical bravado. The car looks like a monster to drive , GR is just ringing the cars neck to keep it where it is with a bit of luck .
I reserve my judgement until they have a better performing car .
Some driver are better at driving terrible cars but give them a good one and they can’t get the best out of a good one . Jean alesi is a great example great driver never did it
I agree, and I add an important point to your com, LH is known for is late braking and his aptitude to earn seconds in the curves. Everybody knows the downforce issue make this aspect of his driving skill uneffective and unsuccessful. Like someone said, life is a circle, and I think things will turn in a good way, he just needed time to understand the car and his perf will be back.
Nope hes shit simples
FACT; Hamilton is not as good as everyone likes to believe. he's good in the same way Jacques Villeneuve was good (good but not Senna/Prost/Schumacher/Lauda levels of good).
That opinion is very popular amongst Lewis haters don't be so harsh on yourself lol.
I'm of the opinion it's almost impossible to say. But of the list of things that impress me as a driver Lewis has done plenty. It's his talent and his accomplishments that make people believe he's very good.
@@DirtyJamesUK you know what you're right. it's not an unpopular opinion, it's a fact. if he was such an amazing driver he would be able to consistently score points in this car and beat Russel every race. But so far the tally is 3-1 in favor of Russel.
Surly a 7 times WDC is capable of doing what the previous mentioned drivers were able to do in their Junior years with midfield and backmarker cars? Doing what earned them seats at Williams, McLaren and Ferrari?
@@OnionChoppingNinja lol you haters are really quick to clutch at straws. It doesn't hurt me, it just makes you look silly.
@@DirtyJamesUK When Hamilton implodes farther and farther when he keeps getting lapped by Ferrari's and Red Bulls all the while he get out scored by Russel. Then he realizes he should have retired when he had the chance.
@@OnionChoppingNinja he already has 7 WDCs tbf he doesn't exactly have anything left to prove.
I’m kinda liking this era of Merc. Not for the sad show at all, but for the fact we get to see an incredible experiment.
Two fantastic drivers, one from a number one team… the other from last. Put them in a middle of the range car. We are physically seeing how much Russell was pulling out of the Williams, compared to how little Lewis really was having to do in mercs car.
Greatest driver of all time hey? Maybe because hes had the best car for years?😉
maybe rewatch turkey 2020 and his whole career ever since karting

Dude it’s only been 4 races, by the way are there other teammates battling? No chats about those I see, I still respect your perspective, keep up the😓
It could simply be Russell learnt at Williams the dark art of car set up as is needed in a poor car. Hamilton has never has to neither Mercedes to rely on car set up for gain on track due to a mighty dominant package. So to spite his achievements Russell may have more experience driving and setting up a bad car and communicating such to his mechanics ...
You saying Hamilton’s car sets itself up like it’s Ironman’s suit where as Russell used to get down and dirty with his spanner and monkey wrench?
That makes no sense.
@@Enzoblueblood sorry never watched ironman do not understand the suit reference. Thought my post was self explanatory can only except your view it was of no sense..
@@dreadrasta2481
A good car needs driver input for balance changes as much as a bad car. Someone who’s used to driving a bad car is no better or worse at “setting up cars” than someone who’s used to driving a good car. Some drivers simply thrive in none pressure situations as George is currently doing and some perform better in high pressure situations which Hamilton is more accustomed to. The differences between Hamilton and George has nothing to do with either drivers ability to set up cars. Engineers do the setup work; drivers just give feedback. So your point implying that George had to give more technical input while he was at a bad Williams unlike Hamilton who wouldn’t need to because he had a winning car is nonsense.
Btw, Ironman’s suit sort of remotely puts itself together on command.
Hamilton just hasn't had the hunger to fight like George and Max!!!
My wet dream for _Merc_ is that they sort out the _W13,_ so we can see RUS vs HAM when regular poles and wins are within reach. RUS is most definitely _WDC_ material.
HAM looks as "lost" in the _W13_ as VET was when the blown diffuser got outlawed. I expect RUS to beat HAM comprehensively this season.
Hamilton/Merc team is still thinking/running like they are the frontrunners. Perhaps they need to pivot to race strategy that is more appropriate to their current situation.
its brought em down to earth after Imola
Lol who’s side are you on. Make up your mind 😂
@@joelmilliner341 🤣🤣🤣 Redbull 🤣🤣🤣
SILENCE is GOLDEN.
Omg the Hamilton apologists are going nuts in these comments
we are not apologizing. just reminding people that they are jumping the fence a bit too early. it's been 4 races into the season. i've seen the new ronaldo and new messi in football a thousand times :D
@@superkgy that's soccer.... not motorsport. I dont think merc is gonna turn this around as fast as a single person can turn around their performance
@@erikostby2232 we shall see :)
We have seen already, a person can turn around after 1 bad performance. Merc has been bad for 4 races
When Mercedes confirmed Russell for 2022, I'd a sense of worried for Hamilton. Russell could dethrone him.
I think Hamilton can see that risk and would consider retiring after 2021 with GOAT status if he won the record breaking 8th title. But that 8th title vanished in the final lap of 2021. Leaving him no choice but had to put his godlike status on the line for that GOAT 8th title in 2022 by racing with a new teammate that could possibly beats and dethrone him... F1 2022
I’m surprised too and it’s clear why he wanted Bottas to stay!
Russel will be a huge headache for Ham and at his stage in his career I dont think he can deal with it. We saw it with Vettel as well
Russel, Leclerc and Max are so quick.
Agreed. With all the people in here screaming "wait till they get the car fixed" , I'm thinking "yeah, George will just be that much faster still". It's not like they will only fix the 77 car and MB has team orders to protect LH from embarrassing himself lol.
I hope the spat with Toto was him coming to grips with the fact that MB can't throw money at this to fix it as they have for the last 8 years so he's telling LH "you are gonna have to actually try now"
Geroge Russel just know how to drive an undriveable car . He have years of experience
IVs said it before and I'm gonna keep saying it every one hated Vettle at red bull why 4 championships.
Every one hates Hamilton for 7 championships.
Alot of people will start to hate Verstappen when he starts winning more championships in favor of a new driver
So for just 4 races he’s now faster. People sucks
Hamilton will begin to consider retirement, as soon as he comes to terms with the fact that George Russell consistently outperformed him throughout the season; and I suspect that won't be until the end of the summer. Of course, the big caveat is whether Mercedes allows Russell to continue to best Hamilton. They could always declare the championship out of reach, at some point in season; and then start using Russell's car for R&D testing during the entire race weekend. If that happens, Russell's performances will be all over the place... marred with random me mechanical DNF's.
Ok they may have screwed over Bottas like that, but I don’t think Mercedes would sabotage SO many points and shunt Russell just to soothe Hamilton’s ego. Other drivers used to get fucked over cuz Hamilton was still better, but this year that’s not the case, so no, I really really doubt Merc has the guts to do that because Russell is the only reason they are still 3rd in the Constructors championship this year.
I think Russell will continue to level hamilton even if he comes back, and if it stays like this he will beat him. And I think then you are right, he will start to consider retirement, which I don’t think he was at the start of the season.
@@Danker19991
There's one reason why Mercedes would shaft Russell, in favour of Hamilton: Woke corporate culture! Mercedes has long since embraced woke ideology. You can see it in the advertising, as well as with everything that they sponsor. Russell represents the lowest rung on the racist ladder of woke ideology: the Straight White Male. As long as Hamilton wants to be #1, all he has to do is bitch and moan like a little toddler; and Toto will come running like a lapdog.
I hate to say it, because I put my life on the line to fight racism and bigotry, but it's so sickeningly obvious. The only question that I have is: who will become the poster boy for woke ideology when Hamilton throws in the towel?
You've just admitted that Mercedes are currently using Hamilton to do the bulk of the experimenting on his car in your own little weird way.
@@thedadmeister6392
How you managed to twist anything that I posted above into misconstruing it's meaning... and coming up with that... is something that only a drug addict could concoct, while piquing on a weekend bender.
@@MickPsyphon Mercedes are currently using Hamilton's side of the garage for most of the experimenting. As the more experienced driver, his feedback and knowledge on developing the car is more valuable. That, alongside quite a lot of bad luck explains his points deficit to Russell. Russell only ran experimental parts on one weekend and he did not make it out of Q2. Please do your research. I would put Russell in the same category as Rosberg and Button. He is consistent, fast but overall not in Hamilton's league. Only 2 present drivers can be mentioned in the same breath as Hamilton and that's Alonso and Verstappen.
They have to coddle and baby Lewis. Kinda funny and hugely ironic that someone whom many consider the best of all time, requires that type of treatment. Watching him pout and sulk… especially after his major temper tantrum after last seasons finale. I find the contrast fascinating and quite amusing.
So Lewis remaining silent and taking time out to reflect on his disappointment, contemplate his future etc. is your idea of a temper tantrum. Damn....
@@jamtalawah2231 Yeah and not going to the dinner to honor Verstaphen. Total baby loser. I have no respect for Lewis. He acts like what he does is important. It is not. How many lives has he saved? I would say zero. How many peoples lives has he made better doing his job? Zero.
@@jamtalawah2231 - It’s his pouting and the way he just deleted everyone from his social media and vanished until car launch. Skipped FIA prize giving etc… it’s HIS actions that show it. If you can’t see it… “damn.” 🤦🏻♂️

People like you and your inane comment is what's wrong with some of F1 fandom in recent years.
Again it shows that these 7 titles were for 95% the car ...
Still waiting for improvement and we get is more excuses. Man.
Say that again ?
Lewis is a Mazepin ... He always was ... If he hasn't a vastly faster car he's a waste of space 😆😆😆
Its a shame to have youtube username as F1 expert, and say this comment.
George is simply hungrier and has more to prove...Lewis has amazing natural talent but not the 'Killer take Charge' mindset - of say Max - and hence has had to have a great team around him to make his success...Lewis has on a few occasions shown the grit necessary, but doesn't seem to have the sustained mental strength to 'send it' in all scenarios...seven championships probably tend to dull the drive...one may find it harder to take risks...he's thinking about retirement...
Ayrton Senna: “If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you're no longer a racing driver.”
Do you understand that this race both cars have different setup! H was running on wet and G was running in dry ! Remember never rain ?
Also was a lot bad luck with the stop !
Guys 7 time mean something for you ?
2 of 4. I didn’t see him outdriving Lewis in Australia. If he did, please explain.
Cause Russell is better, is that simple. Many of us already last year were saying that Lewis was gonna get an ass whooping this year.
The only reason it might no be uglier for Lewis, is because Russell needs to work on his consistency.
Say that again ?
Seb and Hamilton are great drivers in a great team but they are not team makers when things go wrong they fall apart and need a great teams help to them recover. Schumacher and Max can (could) take a crappy car and get an amazing amount of speed out of it and both can build a great team mostly through there performance and self confidence ps: Hamilton needs a couple of hamburgers
Nobody could be competitive in a crappy car including MSC and VER.
MSC didn't win much on his return. Main reason crappy car.
@@_madr MSC was over 40 years old and didnt drive F1 for 4 years, Alonso said, that it was extremely hard coming back, after 1 year of not driving F1. And Mercedes didnt get him to get titles, they wanted him to develop the car.

@@joelmilliner341 Ah yes the number 1 excuse for Lewis Hamilton fans, "LOOK AT THE STATS"
Okay lets look at the stats. Mercedes had more front row lockouts in 10 years than any F1 team had in history.
Winning many races when your teammate is your only real opponent? What a shocker!
The real reason for Hamiltons demise is 1. when you have a far superior car it is easy which he has had for a lot of years. 2. given equal cars with some of the new drivers he does not measure up. Sad to say but everyones time will come when it is time to retire and enjoy life he will never need money as his future endorsements will keep the money flowing.
I agreed. I'm his biggest fan and I wish he never came back after Abu Dhabi. He got everything he need. Money, girls clothing and popular. Fuck even books to write about the lies Abu Dhabi.
Lewis has AT LEAST one more championship left in him before retirement. Let’s not write him off this early. Even the champs are entitled to a bad season. Schumacher kept racing well past his 30’s….until his body told him to stop
Come on dude the cars are not good in fact they blew it. Having worked on making the the previous versions the best this car is way behind him. The engine, the chassis and aero design are all off the mark. No speed and no grip equals nothing. Russell has more time in bad cars. Team Mercedes better get this together very soon.
I must be a genius of F1 knowledge - i' ve said since 2 years ago and keep saying Russel is faster than Hamilton - but LuLu fans are not very smart 🤯🤣

shitstappen fanbosy coming out of their caves acting like theyd do better
ironic to talk about humiliation meanwhile youre crying online
Yeah it's just the car. I can't believe he's won F1 races in 15 different cars. Useless!
I'm still waiting to see a race without a DRS train where Russell is faster than Hamilton
Could the porposing be affecting Hamilton more than it's affecting russel?
probably that, but more probably the things he is trying to overcome it. i think they are throwing the kitchen sink at it and trying a lot of things under the hood, since they can't just bring major updates that can be discarded if they don't work because of the cost cap. you can't win/fight for a championship without a good car, so mercedes should really leave no stones unturned to solve this one. meanwhile the season is just a big test session.
I think there is also a question of style. Lewis is known for his oversteer driving style and gaining time in the slow part of the track with the old car as well as losing some in the fast part of the track.
The increase downforce means that there is more "fast corners" this year.
People forget how good lewis in Turkey in Brazil and sliveston I can go on.
Very head to take of lewis when he get robbe 8 championship for mind set
Now he has 6 podium
The money cap is hurting Mercedes much worse than in years passed. They always got free reign from the stewards and the FIA to do whatever they wanted and that last race at Abi Dubai pretty much brought that all to a screeching halt where now Lewis has to figure what do to make the car drivable. It's clearly obvious since everyone else has made major improvements to their cars and Mercedes hasn't because they figured no one was going to catchup that quickly and they still would get their way with the FIA to do whatever they wanted . Now they are stuck as a midteam and I hope that's where they stay .
7 world championships, one the best driver if not the best of his generation, the most successful driver in the history of formula 1, still he’s compared to a driver who has yet to win a single race in formula 1. Really
Or, he get's beaten by a guy who hasn"t won a single race. What does that tell you?
This didn't age well😂
Goerge is simply a better driver. Hamilton is not the real champion as champions make the car work. It’s the car not the driver as George proved that last year so Mercedes f’d up the pit stops so it wouldn’t look bad.
Say that again ?
So it’s 80% car and 20% driver. So much for being the GOAT.
He’s getting older. And everyone who we consider the “goat” had a good car
I am a real big Hamilton fan so that season is sad for me
the car is slow and hes 37 …. might be time to retire.
@@b3at2 but Alonso is also still driving
I kinda get it …. young George has a higher tolerance for pain and the pain is starting to catch up to the OG Lewis
have you all got short memory ? Bahrain he was in front, Djeddah and Australia unlucky SC but he was in front. This is the 1st time he was behind in Imola. if you search well, Lewis is testing some setup to develop the cars. He hasn't the same car with Georges.
That is different driver with a good car (sir) n a good driver with car (R) 😂😂
Um, because Lewis is driving a Jack in the Box machine.
To be fair like 4 races have been just absolute bad luck. Pit lane closure etc. Much less last week getting stuck behind Alonso on a track you can't even pass on 99% of the time whom stayed off pace on purpose and really held him back.
This year just proves how much its the car and not the driver that makes the difference. Hamilton did so well because he had a great car for 7 years.
Then why is Russell outperforming Lewis?
@@gabriela.s.3351 Because Russell is proving to be the better Merc driver this year. He has been able to adapt to the changes and limitations of the car, and Hamilton has not. Hamilton needs a superior car the is perfectly setup in order to dominate.
@trickyrick74 there you go, you just proved that it’s about the driver in the end!
A car does make a difference in deed, but it does not determine who’s gonna win…
@@trickyrick74 Say that again ?
For Russell he's driving a car better than he had been (even with Mercs porpoising issues).
For Hamilton he's driving a worse car than he has the past many years.
I think there is some credence to the age/physically issue, but not as much as Russell's & Hamilton's "perspective".
So... George is the better driver in the current cars?
we will see.....i really don't think so!
Anyone else notice how Russell talks about back pain from driving the car, and yet Hamilton in the worse of the two Mercedes doesn’t….🤷♂️…am sure someone, somewhere will have something to explain this
Thats because of his lenght george is actually to tall for an f1 driver
@@Querientje I’m sure height def plays a part, but then I can’t think he feels more pain just because he is taller…especially as they custom make seats, move pedals and steering etc to suit each individual driver.
On a side note, I thought Nico Hulkenberg was the tallest guy in F1? Looks like I need to check driver height stats….but you’re right in that GR is flipping tall, which doesn’t usually help F1 designers, when they’re looking to keep the cog down as low as possible and this giant turns up hahahahaha
It's racing. Two of the same cars are not the same car! Weight distribution etc... why can't these F1 reporters understand this? Bring back Martin Brundle please!
F1 knows the fans want to see new people win… thats why they even introduced new regulations… its all done to shake things up.. and its working. F1 is almost like wwe with how much the officials influence who wins and who doesnt… last year championship robbery was proof.
Interesting views. Thanks.
Safety Cars! thats just formula 1.. you have to take a longer look
Lewis is finished he can’t drive bad car fact, team mate beating Lewis weekend and weekend out.
How many times? I could have sworn its only been four races so far.
@@jamtalawah2231 😂😂
@@jamtalawah2231 answer your owned question
Lewis is simply too old and not that talented. driving a Mercedes for 7 years is nothing special, give him a weaker car and see how deplorable he is.
I just had a chat with LH asking him to retire, so that you can sleep better at nights!!🤭
What people are saying and what I am seeing is two different thing in real time George Russell is willing to take unnecessary risk, and he is very lucky to get away with it, on the other hand Lewis Hamilton is not going to take the same kind of risk, he is older and he is wiser I have no problem in people liking George Russell or Max Verstappen because that is your preference, but stop telling lies about what we all are seeing when you see The FIA and Ross Brawn have to change the whole dynamics of the racing car because it was very hard for people to beat Lewis Hamilton on the track, the FIA and Ross Brawn excuse to justify them self they say that they wanted to see closer racing and right now Red Bull and Ferrari is dominating formula 1 I can never call that closer racing and the next thing is Lewis Hamilton age have nothing at all to do with it if he is telling Toto Wolff what is wrong with the car and Toto Wolff is getting annoyed and upset with him, even though George Russell is a younger driver it is George Russell that I hear complaining about he is feeling pain because of popoising, the Mercedes car is a lode of rubbish the untested sidepods is the number one problem to the car, if there was no crashed in the race then it would be impossible for George Russell to be so far up the field, and plus Toto Wolff and Mercedes is using race strategy that only help George Russell the Mercedes cars may look the same but the setup of the car is completely different
There is a reason why LH was happy with Bottas for all those years. He was there to make him look good! Russel shows LH is a mediocre driver and nothing special. He was lucky that in his years the other teams sucked.
Or… maybe… he’s getting old. Hamilton is a impressive driver and your blind not to see it.
Didn't sir lewis hamilton say "my team doesn't make mistakes.
Look, given similar-quality cars, Russell, Verstappen, and Leclerc are better drivers than Hamilton whose 'superiority' has been down to having a far superior car for so long.
Omg! Russell looks like A mini Toto!
If the car was any good, the media wouldn’t be saying these things now. It was exactly the same after Micheal’s seventh title.
It’s time to be a real racer, like Alonso, Vettel, Russel, Max, etc etc. ✌️🏴
Hamilton won his Championships by having BY FAR the fastest car on the track. In equal equipment his talent is sub-par to others in the sport.
So what about his days of go-karting, his formula 2 and him beating his teammates like Roseberg in same cars? U guys just stop.
So a driver who mIssed the WC in his rookie year by 1 point and won it in his second year is sub par talent. The remaining 6 WC, number of poles, number of finishes and whatever else F1 records he holds was because the car drove itself to victory. Sub par. Riiiiiiiight!
You should go and watch the GP2 race in Turkey in 2006. You will quickly change your mind, those are pretty much equal cars. Hamilton beat a 2 time world champion in his rookie year. Alonso was still in his prime not 37. People keep saying George is a rookie even with 3 full years under his belt. Hamilton is doing the bulk of the experimenting for Mercedes. Be objective people.
watch the races with open eyes to understand why is he finished p13
Sir Whiney Lewis has TOTALLY LOST IT WITHOUT The FASTEST CAR
OVER RATED
LMAO....YOU CAN'T WIN WITHOUT THE BEST CAR💀
@@jhxzzy863 Ask Max.
You can win without the best car if you're a champion driver, if you're just a good driver you won't.
Man have some respect!
You don’t have to like a driver but at least respect what they do all of them! I’m sure you or I could not do what they do
Original Reason: He never drove a shitbox in recent years that finishes the race after minutes the P1 driver does.
Who changes Lewis' pampers before and after the race? Toto?
By now Toto is trying to get the regulations changed. He lost confidence in the science I guess
That bouncing is affecting the 37yld more than the 24yld!!! Why RedBull openly calls Checko a "WINGMAN"
It was alway the car!!!
Yeah right, all you expert ever thing to yourself this. The W13 is a upgrade for Russell it’s not for Hamilton rather a retro or huge downgrade for Lewis.
So?
Lewis will never win again its over lapt car
Why did Toto say 'Lewis deserves better from us'? Didn't he mean Lewis and George deserve better? Its ok George it won't be long before Toto tries to suppress you like he did Valtteri
When you really haven’t had to actually drive for a change..I’m not surprised that Lewis is struggling now…
And George just topped FP2!
The moment when all the Lewis haters feel like all is well with the world, Lewis Hamilton is no longer winning races lol
😂😂😂😂😂
Finally everybody can see what is being said since years... he was a midfield driver with a super car. Rusell could have been world champion in 2021 if he had been in that Mercedes.
i don't care...i just enjoy to watch mr. wolff learn how to be quiet person
Jacques Villeneuve and Nico Rosberg point of view is valid because they are racing driver, but these men are not actually talking the truth about what is real happening, all I see is Mercedes and Toto Wolff is doing more to help George Russell when is come to race strategy Toto Wolff Mercedes do everything under the Sun to help George Russell and that is so unfair to see it have nothing at all to do with Lewis Hamilton driving badly as Jacques Villeneuve and Nico Rosberg are telling people lies that do not understand what is going on Lewis Hamilton is a expert driver with a lot of experience how much championship did Jacques Villeneuve and Nico Rosberg win between them for a good example take the race in Italy that was not a race the racing director did not allow DRS or drag reduction system until the race was almost finish and that just suit Max Vestappen how long is the FIA going to help Max Vestappen
In Italy we all see a unfair release of a racing car right in front of Lewis Hamilton and that compromise his whole race the Mercedes vehicle was just too slow to over take, that have nothing at all to do with Lewis Hamilton driving badly are poorly his car was just not good enough, Lewis Hamilton Mercedes was one of the worst car on the track it locked power and stability Lewis Hamilton did not drive badly are poorly and he have his own team Mercedes and Toto Wolff that is working against him because they put George Russell in front of Lewis Hamilton
If you allow George Russell and Lewis Hamilton to race without the interference of Toto Wolff helping George Russell you would see a big different Lewis Hamilton would completely take George Russell apart like what he did to Max Verstappen that the FIA had to fix the race to help Max Verstappen.
Wow you drank the cool aid 😂😂😂
