I knew Lewis was about to have a bad lap before it even started. I saw George dealing with that traffic then realized Lewis was even further back in it. It caused him to go yellow in sector one. My only other observation from qualy is I don't know how max fits in that f1 car with a set of balls that big. I thought he was nosing into the wall for sure. To keep his foot in it is wild.
lets put this into perspective. Lewis has had a top 3 car for his entire career bar this season. For 12 seasons he'd had a car capable of winning a WDC (2007, 2008, 2010, 2012, 2014-2021). No driver in history has had this good fortune. Alonso had a championship winning car for 3 years (2005-2007) and has had about 10 seasons with worse material than Lewis had this year.
Soooo Merc knows how LH likes the car to be setup but they didn't do it for the majority of the season basically Mercedes have admitted to shafting Hamilton the whole year then 🤷🏽♂️
Here's what I think Cameron. Mercedes has done wrong by Lewis the entire season and they made a decided effort to give him the better car for his last race. Well guess what, it backfired. Karma simply said no. You don't get to ceremonially celebrate Lewis in Abu Dhabi after throwing him under the bus all year. Apologies not accepted!

Well one thing is for sure, if next year’s car of Mercedes is good than it is all thanks to LH being the experiment guy during the entire year! Even on his LAST qualifying day his car was used for experiment for next year’s car! Just diabolical

Alternatively, F1 has often been a comedy of errors (something I've noticed since the '90s) and it takes a lot of things not to go wrong to mount a successful campaign.

Last race of the season, nothing to lose in any championship. Mercedes should gave turned the engine up to full Party Mode, get LH the pole and then see where the race goes.
The only correct tier-list as of right now is: - Verstappen . . - Leclerc, Russell - Norris . - the rest (who cares in what order) Will see if Hamilton and Alonso can get back up to Leclerc/Russell tier or perhaps even ahead. They probably can, as class is permanent. But they are highly unlikely to reach Verstappens tier. Their prime is past and that is okay.

@@user-nu5hc9ou1s what happened to him ? crashing at imola and having the luck of a redflag to repair the car before restart ? Taking the wrong gamble in hungary by being the only one on the restart grid ? Forgetting the magic button in Baku ? He was lucky to be level on point on that last race
Why are we discussing what happened to LH? Bad luck. Borderline funny the Haas threw a cone at the worst time trying to get out of the way. LH still threw down a respectable lap dragging a road cone. He was light hearted about it.
Nope!!! Please listen to Niki Lauda's interview where he said that he had to convince LH to come to Mercedes even though it was a midfield car and said they would give him every chance and space to develop the car. And they did. That's why they didn't win the first year, but the year after that they did. That is also why they continue to use LH as a test driver for next year's car. Even on his last qualifying day, check totos interview. That says a lot about his input.
Could you make a better Hamilton tribute using only video and photos that are free to use in a video? That’d be a bit more of a challenge, I think it might be doable considering how bland the Mercedes tribute turned out. It might be fun.
Hamilton is surely mentally strong to endure that level of sabotage all season. I'm pretty sure if it were lads like Lando or Russell, they'd have been put on suicide watch already
I m 100% sure Max will never go to Mercedes.. I wouldn t.. Max to sees how Toto treats his drivers, Lewis, dont give him the respect he truly deserves, I believe the Ferrari team is much more emotional involved team a better home.
Why does anyone expect anything different from whats happened all season from Mercedes lol their only turning the knife. Have they made these mistakes with George this season so frequently? 🤔
As things stand, Merc by being mediocre the past couple of years. It will persist going forward. Conspiracy theories aside about sabotaging LH. They will become what they have been practicing all these years.
DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANY PRAISE FOR RUSSELL FOR OUT-QUALIFYING LEWIS IN 2024 BECAUSE LEWIS WAS THE GUINEA PIG / TEST DRIVER, AND THAT’S WHY LEWIS TOLD US HE DIDN’T EXPECT TO OUT-QUALIFY RUSSELL THIS YEAR HE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING.
(Oops, starting watching the wrong vid). Toto did not treat Lewis well, so was it sabotage afterall? Q: What'a a bollard doing on the track? It's not blinkin' school pickup🙄🙄🙄
It was not bad luck for LH! They deliberately put him in a position where he could fail. Even in the last race they experimented with his car instead of George's for the sake of NEXT YEAR’s car(!!!!), which is insane! Is George not the new leader, no? Should he not take this responsibility, no? Or can he just drive the car and collect points so he can go on interviews and say he beated LH, just like he said in 2022? They literally sucking everything out of LH, just like vampires, before letting him go. And then for Wolff to come on the radio and say to LH that he did indeed screw up when it wasn't LH's fault and he never spoken in this matter to George, but always boosted George’s self confidence even if it was his fault. He even called him the tire whisperer?? Is he serious?!! George EATS HIS tires like there is no tomorrow! How diabolical of Wolff! I don’t care Wolff apologising. Actions speak louder! Wolff wants to damage LH mentally as much as possible before he goes to Ferrari. I just hope that it does not affect LH in any way on the long term and that he forgets about this season and starts at Ferrari with a clean slate and with a lot of confidence that Wolff has taken away from him this season.
They screwed LH over now, and as far as I'm concerned, they allowed Valteri to get over on him when Max won his 1st championship in 2021. Let's be real, Valteri was nowhere near the teammate to Lewis, that Checo was to Max. And those nostalgic send-off videos they created for Valteri were BS. I said it back then, I say it again today
If you guys think that Mercedes has not been sabotaging Lewis all season you need to open your eyes! Come on. No Hanlon’s razor BS. This is pure on purpose sabotage. Or maybe not sabotage but intentionally not trying their best b
Mercedes, for the past couple of years, still think they are top dawg and base their strategy accordingly. Ferrari humbled themselves and new they had to go earlier in sessions and work harder to get their cars optimized. Meanwhile the fools in Brackley, always act as if that car has a couple of seconds in hand to the competition and can run a car at 75% efficiency and still top the timesheets. This year in particular has been a complete disaster bordering on malice and as Cameron said, I've already gotten rid of my mercedes gear. Good riddance. I turned the whole thing off. Just another Hamilton sabotage/mess. oh well.
Lewis Hamilton had a tough year, but his a tough guy mentally, all ways humble, looks like the powers that be r trying to destroy his credibility, but as I mentioned his no ordinary formula 1 driver, thumbs 👍 Lewis we no you don't have to prove your self, your the best
Lewis stated many times he wanted to finish his f1 career at mercedes..the little glory hunter jumped ship when his team is down..he deserves what he gets!
Wrong..Lewis Jumped ship when Toto just wanted to sign him to another 2 year deal with a 1 year option and not give him a Ambassador ≈ role for Mercedes..The team has been down since 2022.but yet Lewis still stayed ...Yes he does deserves what he got.. A multi year deal with Ferrari and the Ambassador role that Toto and Mercedes didn't want to give him
Let's face it... SLH (Shelf Life Hamilton) is washed. What else is new in the world of ones that eff? Season's over... let's hope for a more exciting 2025.
yeah, even in this useless season, he has 2 race wins, a bunch of podiums and has finished in the points 18 times, despite being sabotaged. Ad his Las Vegas drive was perhaps the best drive of anybody this year in any car. Give him a decent car, without sabotage and he will outpace everyone. This season was manufactured to give Russel the upper hand. The guy was given a start on third base and thought/thinks he hit a triple. Lets see 2026. I guess when he starts winning regularly you'll be back here claiming its only the car. Lets' just say that if Hamilton was in that mclaren, he would probably have won his 9th WDC.
@@kingsleyndam Give me a break... Silverstone was gifted to him because MCL threw away an easy 1-2 and at Spa he couldn't hold a candle to Russell. Leclerc will eviscerate the old man next season.
Mercedes handed Hamilton 8 WDC's and he lost two. Mercedes inflated Hamilton's abilities. Hamilton never was a great qualifier. He got beaten quite often by Bottas. The last three years we see the real abilities of Lewis Hamilton. He gets beaten by George Russell who isn't the top dog under the F1 drivers.
Wrong! it is 69 against 31 that LH has beaten bottas in qualifying. About the number of wins and wdc, we all know (if you do your search) that Hamilton is the GOAT. We all know that numbers don’t lie and ppl just should stop trying to erase his legacy and the history that he made.
@user-nu5hc9ou1s So.... one time of the three qualifying sessions was won by Bottas. Hamilton got beaten quite often by a midfield driver according to the numbers you are delivering.
@@henkormel5610 sorry but did you just not said that Bottas often had beaten LH with qualifying? Now that has been clarified for you based on numbers/facts you are bringing up the rest of the field?? Can you give a number to back up your claim? Cause the numbers says now that he is the person with the most pole. Please just stop to try to tarnish this person legacy. It just does not look good
@user-nu5hc9ou1s An inflated legacy can't be tarnished. Lewis was very lucky Mercedes had a very long and never seen dominance in F1. He was the best driver present at that team so he won a lot. He didn't build it but he just arrived at the start of the dominant period.
@ Nope!!! Please listen to Niki Lauda's interview where he said that he had to convince LH to come to Mercedes even though it was a midfield car and said they would give him every chance and space to develop the car.

It’s not fair that Max is being compared to Lewis … Max is way ahead of Lewis in all aspects of racing… Lewis should have retired in 21 while he was at the top horrible to watch him in such a decline right now …
No max is not ahead of Lewis. Last time I checked max had only wel deserved 3 championships and 1 given by Massi. LH has 7! When max exceeds that number we can put him above Lewis. For now Lewis and Schumacher are the Goat.
@@tembosoundsshow412 when Lewis was Max‘ age, he had one WDC - compare that to the 4 WDC‘s that Max has secured, the all time record in consecutive race wins, the highest pole to win conversion rate… the list goes on. Max is in a league of his own, and if he keeps going for four more titles to surpass the WDC record you‘ll still not accept it, because you‘re simply too biased.

Their prime is past and that is okay. Putting Hamilton in Verstappens tier is very unfair to what he is currently achieving.
I agree with this generally… except I don’t feel like Russel is anything special, probably equal to Norris at best
Verstappen is good now, but let him first win fair and square his 7th wdc before we can compare him with Schumacher or LH, no? As numbers don’t lie
@@user-nu5hc9ou1s Think you replied to the wrong comment. I didn't mention Schumacher. The tier-list is based on the current season.. obviously. Im not talking about an all-time ranking.
@@user-pq1bb9bx4q yes my bad! Read to quick and missed the part with as of now. In that case I agree, verstappen is strong. Let’s see if LH is that too next year. Tbh I hope that for him very much. He deserves that based on what happened to him in 2021
@@user-nu5hc9ou1s what happened to him ? crashing at imola and having the luck of a redflag to repair the car before restart ?
Taking the wrong gamble in hungary by being the only one on the restart grid ?
Forgetting the magic button in Baku ?
He was lucky to be level on point on that last race
Oscar will win the race
Mercedes have become the clown show of F1
Lulu was bottling the qualifying for whole year, and only now you decided to blame the team 😂
Cam, you gotta get peter the goat talking about these qualifying laps between the mclaren boys. 😉
Why are we discussing what happened to LH? Bad luck. Borderline funny the Haas threw a cone at the worst time trying to get out of the way.
LH still threw down a respectable lap dragging a road cone.
He was light hearted about it.
Mercedes are not screwing Lewis over... they are preparing him for driving for Ferrari.
The comments are hilarious 😂❤ all experts.
We've lost our chat noe😖
Lewis had more luck over any other F1 driver from my era,walking into team Mercedes 10 years ago was a bulls eye move
Nope!!! Please listen to Niki Lauda's interview where he said that he had to convince LH to come to Mercedes even though it was a midfield car and said they would give him every chance and space to develop the car. And they did. That's why they didn't win the first year, but the year after that they did. That is also why they continue to use LH as a test driver for next year's car. Even on his last qualifying day, check totos interview. That says a lot about his input.
Could you make a better Hamilton tribute using only video and photos that are free to use in a video? That’d be a bit more of a challenge, I think it might be doable considering how bland the Mercedes tribute turned out. It might be fun.
Hamilton is surely mentally strong to endure that level of sabotage all season. I'm pretty sure if it were lads like Lando or Russell, they'd have been put on suicide watch already
I m 100% sure Max will never go to Mercedes.. I wouldn t.. Max to sees how Toto treats his drivers, Lewis, dont give him the respect he truly deserves, I believe the Ferrari team is much more emotional involved team a better home.
RB should have bought hulk 😂
Why does anyone expect anything different from whats happened all season from Mercedes lol their only turning the knife. Have they made these mistakes with George this season so frequently? 🤔
As things stand, Merc by being mediocre the past couple of years. It will persist going forward. Conspiracy theories aside about sabotaging LH. They will become what they have been practicing all these years.
DON’T WANT TO HEAR ANY PRAISE FOR RUSSELL FOR OUT-QUALIFYING LEWIS IN 2024 BECAUSE LEWIS WAS THE GUINEA PIG / TEST DRIVER, AND THAT’S WHY LEWIS TOLD US HE DIDN’T EXPECT TO OUT-QUALIFY RUSSELL THIS YEAR HE KNEW WHAT WAS COMING.
(Oops, starting watching the wrong vid). Toto did not treat Lewis well, so was it sabotage afterall? Q: What'a a bollard doing on the track? It's not blinkin' school pickup🙄🙄🙄
It was not bad luck for LH! They deliberately put him in a position where he could fail. Even in the last race they experimented with his car instead of George's for the sake of NEXT YEAR’s car(!!!!), which is insane! Is George not the new leader, no? Should he not take this responsibility, no? Or can he just drive the car and collect points so he can go on interviews and say he beated LH, just like he said in 2022? They literally sucking everything out of LH, just like vampires, before letting him go. And then for Wolff to come on the radio and say to LH that he did indeed screw up when it wasn't LH's fault and he never spoken in this matter to George, but always boosted George’s self confidence even if it was his fault. He even called him the tire whisperer?? Is he serious?!! George EATS HIS tires like there is no tomorrow! How diabolical of Wolff! I don’t care Wolff apologising. Actions speak louder! Wolff wants to damage LH mentally as much as possible before he goes to Ferrari. I just hope that it does not affect LH in any way on the long term and that he forgets about this season and starts at Ferrari with a clean slate and with a lot of confidence that Wolff has taken away from him this season.
They screwed LH over now, and as far as I'm concerned, they allowed Valteri to get over on him when Max won his 1st championship in 2021. Let's be real, Valteri was nowhere near the teammate to Lewis, that Checo was to Max. And those nostalgic send-off videos they created for Valteri were BS. I said it back then, I say it again today
Grice and Hanlon Razor Co.
I'm sure O.B.R. King George will do his part after SLH departs
Anti rice bias. Oh but British media doubted my divinity
2:30 6 DWCs????
6 while with Mercedes. 1 before that with McLaren. 👍
@ oh yesss duh my bad you’re right
Cameron falling for Lewis excuses. I hope he delivers next year because if he fails,he won't be able to hide behind the car.
If you guys think that Mercedes has not been sabotaging Lewis all season you need to open your eyes! Come on. No Hanlon’s razor BS. This is pure on purpose sabotage. Or maybe not sabotage but intentionally not trying their best b
Mercedes, for the past couple of years, still think they are top dawg and base their strategy accordingly. Ferrari humbled themselves and new they had to go earlier in sessions and work harder to get their cars optimized. Meanwhile the fools in Brackley, always act as if that car has a couple of seconds in hand to the competition and can run a car at 75% efficiency and still top the timesheets. This year in particular has been a complete disaster bordering on malice and as Cameron said, I've already gotten rid of my mercedes gear. Good riddance. I turned the whole thing off. Just another Hamilton sabotage/mess. oh well.
Get it right please. Not 6 but 7 WDC
He mentioned 6 at Mercedes which is correct. Get it right please...
Let's go Paul! We shall not sacrifice truth value at the altar of unreason. 🍺
Ferrari made a mistake
I turned you off as soon as you mentioned Max and 2021 😞😠
Lewis Hamilton had a tough year, but his a tough guy mentally, all ways humble, looks like the powers that be r trying to destroy his credibility, but as I mentioned his no ordinary formula 1 driver, thumbs 👍 Lewis we no you don't have to prove your self, your the best
Since Max is better, your logic is completely flawed.
@@EntropicExergy you wish
@@robertron9049 Nope, i know he is better.
this big time mess
Mclaren 1-2 🧡
Lewis stated many times he wanted to finish his f1 career at mercedes..the little glory hunter jumped ship when his team is down..he deserves what he gets!
Wrong..Lewis Jumped ship when Toto just wanted to sign him to another 2 year deal with a 1 year option and not give him a Ambassador ≈ role for Mercedes..The team has been down since 2022.but yet Lewis still stayed ...Yes he does deserves what he got.. A multi year deal with Ferrari and the Ambassador role that Toto and Mercedes didn't want to give him
Let's face it... SLH (Shelf Life Hamilton) is washed. What else is new in the world of ones that eff?
Season's over... let's hope for a more exciting 2025.
yeah, even in this useless season, he has 2 race wins, a bunch of podiums and has finished in the points 18 times, despite being sabotaged. Ad his Las Vegas drive was perhaps the best drive of anybody this year in any car. Give him a decent car, without sabotage and he will outpace everyone. This season was manufactured to give Russel the upper hand. The guy was given a start on third base and thought/thinks he hit a triple. Lets see 2026. I guess when he starts winning regularly you'll be back here claiming its only the car. Lets' just say that if Hamilton was in that mclaren, he would probably have won his 9th WDC.
@@kingsleyndam Give me a break... Silverstone was gifted to him because MCL threw away an easy 1-2 and at Spa he couldn't hold a candle to Russell.
Leclerc will eviscerate the old man next season.
Mercedes handed Hamilton 8 WDC's and he lost two. Mercedes inflated Hamilton's abilities. Hamilton never was a great qualifier. He got beaten quite often by Bottas. The last three years we see the real abilities of Lewis Hamilton. He gets beaten by George Russell who isn't the top dog under the F1 drivers.
Wrong! it is 69 against 31 that LH has beaten bottas in qualifying. About the number of wins and wdc, we all know (if you do your search) that Hamilton is the GOAT. We all know that numbers don’t lie and ppl just should stop trying to erase his legacy and the history that he made.
@user-nu5hc9ou1s
So.... one time of the three qualifying sessions was won by Bottas. Hamilton got beaten quite often by a midfield driver according to the numbers you are delivering.
@@henkormel5610 sorry but did you just not said that Bottas often had beaten LH with qualifying? Now that has been clarified for you based on numbers/facts you are bringing up the rest of the field?? Can you give a number to back up your claim? Cause the numbers says now that he is the person with the most pole. Please just stop to try to tarnish this person legacy. It just does not look good
@user-nu5hc9ou1s
An inflated legacy can't be tarnished. Lewis was very lucky Mercedes had a very long and never seen dominance in F1. He was the best driver present at that team so he won a lot. He didn't build it but he just arrived at the start of the dominant period.
@ Nope!!! Please listen to Niki Lauda's interview where he said that he had to convince LH to come to Mercedes even though it was a midfield car and said they would give him every chance and space to develop the car. And they did. That's why they didn't win the first year, but the year after that they did. That is also why they continue to use LH as a test driver for next year's car. Even on his last qualifying day, check totos interview. That says a lot about his input. Btw, can you give the number/facts to back up your previous claim? Just waiting here patiently:)
It’s not fair that Max is being compared to Lewis … Max is way ahead of Lewis in all aspects of racing… Lewis should have retired in 21 while he was at the top horrible to watch him in such a decline right now …
No max is not ahead of Lewis. Last time I checked max had only wel deserved 3 championships and 1 given by Massi. LH has 7! When max exceeds that number we can put him above Lewis. For now Lewis and Schumacher are the Goat.
I guess Alonso should retire too
Stop calling Max maximilian, please. He is not a kid.
He says whilst telling a grown man what to do, as if he were a child. Quite brilliant in its irony. Bravo, if of course it was deliberate.
His full name is Max Emilian Verstappen.
@@mariostone78 it’s his name.
Please stop putting Lewis in the same category with max ….. stop it please max is way way better
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Max is in better form and not better than SLH. 8 vs 3 championships is one data point that shows this.
@@tembosoundsshow412 when Lewis was Max‘ age, he had one WDC - compare that to the 4 WDC‘s that Max has secured, the all time record in consecutive race wins, the highest pole to win conversion rate… the list goes on.
Max is in a league of his own, and if he keeps going for four more titles to surpass the WDC record you‘ll still not accept it, because you‘re simply too biased.
Not the Lewis in his 20's and early 30's. Pretty even , the now Max and the younger Lewis. Max IS better in the wet though.
Ahhh! Social Media, where intellect goes to die!!!
Oh go away @@lIlIlIllIlIlIlIIl. We don't live through F1 drivers. You are a buffoon.
Horner has a lot to learn from Toto, always hidding Red Bull mistakes every single race, mostly mistakes from Perez garage
As someone who knew max would be great. I'm telling you now, his kid won't be. Unfortunately that's how it works
