Well I have no idea how this video just went boom in the last few weeks, but if anyone wants to watch any feeder series highlights from previous years, I can try to upload if I find a source myself :)
I watched this race live in 2006 on Eurosport and on countless re-runs here on YT. In my opinion, it still remains one of the best races EVER. Whenever life get too much and I feel like jackin' it in, I come back and watch this. The lesson? NEVER. GIVE. UP. Don't believe the Lewis haters.
wonder what the "it's the car" crowd has to say about Lewis being 2 seconds a lap quicker than the rest of the field, all in equal cars. also imagine being Piquet junior, especially this race. Hamilton spins right behind you, ends up over 14 seconds behind in 21st. you spend the entire race stuck behind Timo Glock, battling for 3rd. Hamilton catches up and overtakes you. Hamilton then overtakes Glock. you're *still* stuck behind Glock. Hamilton then overtakes for 2nd place. you finish the race behind Glock. those that simply refuse to admit Hamilton is something special after watching 15 years of this, their failure to appreciate watching greatness happening in front of their eyes is only their loss.
TBF single spec series are not as equal as you think. ART were the Mercedes of those first GP2 years. Kinda like Prema are now. But I've watched Hamilton since Formula Renault, circa 2002ish. Yes he always seemed to be placed into the best teams in junior formulae, but he proved why. He was the best by far. Hamilton told me Adam Carroll was the MVP in GP2. Just wish he got the same opportunities as Ham did.
@@donathandorko yeah team quality is really something that can't be adequately measured. Ferrari management in 2018 was a disaster. Ferrari messes up strategy -> Vettel pushes harder -> Vettel spins -> Ferrari crumble even harder -> cycle starts again. so even with the joint-fastest car and a 4 time WDC driving it (who never cracked in any championship battle before this) the management was just not up to par. "Vettel spins again" simply makes more headlines
The more I watch of Lewis's early career it becomes clearer to me why he is an exceptional talent and why he is the best single seater driver in the world at present.
he ain't the best driver in present and even less so ever. imo i think verstappen can easily top him if given equal cars, it's just that the mercedes is way too dominant
@@xavier4519 There is no driver out there who has the ability, the mentality or the composure to deliver when the pressure is on and when it matters the most. Some drivers may have been better technically (Alonso) or have been faster (Versrrappen) but none can match his ability to perform when the pressure is on. That's why he is a great.
When Lewis was leading the 2008 British GP by over a minute in appalling conditions the commentator modified the above line; "A lot of people write in saying what's so special about Lewis Hamilton?...................well here's your answer!"
4 of these drivers went to F1 but only 1 remains. And what a driver he is ! Well done LH you are a quality driver and if Senna lived to see you race and break all the records would have been proud of you.
@@Alexmarr14Blogspot eurosport version is outstanding commentary, this is SHIT, he has no clue of what is what, he just comments on what he sees but he doesnt understand whats happening
That was a WILD performance from him.... like him or not, you can not say it was just the car there.... his determination is admirable.... he deserves everything he achieved
Thats the thing, Hamilton has great skill. He definitely needed a very good car to achieve 7 titles but no one can deny his skill, and im saying this as a Ferrari fan. I can respect skill and everyone else should be able to as well.
The overtake at 12:25 is just pure racing genius and phenomenal track awareness. Piquet defends down the inside, Lewis goes the long way around knowing he has better traction and the inside line for the next corner of the complex. Absolutely sensational.
There're superior teams even in spec series. That's why teams like DAMS, Prema and Art have most titles in recent years. It's very hard to win F2, F3 or F4 level if you're not in one of the best teams.
That positioning of the car at 12:25 just demonstrates the different level Hamilton operates on. He played that move like it was a game of chess. There's another example of him finding the line for himself instead of just trying to copy and improve on the line of the cars in front back at 4:32. When I read the title of this video I expected something like a comeback from 10th to 6th. If he was Stroll he'd have retired the car after that spin. Not Hamilton. I've watched a lot of his karting races on RUclips too and it's beyond clear that he's got something most other drivers don't. He has rightly earned his place in the best car on the grid, but he'd still be well in the fight even if all the cars were identical. Videos such as this are the evidence of that.
Absolute mastery. Also have to give Timo credit for that absolute defensive masterclass... not sure how many other drivers could make it that difficult for Hamilton in equal machinery...
People say 'Oh he only wins all the time because its the car'.....erm no. You could put him in a Golf cart and he would STILL find a way to win!! He is the BEST in the world regardless of the disgusting way he was CHEATED out of 2021's crown by a safety car!
o my God. This is the best race other than Bahrain with Lewis and Nico. This guy is a genius. If anyone ever disputes his talent should watch this. sensational. I've never seen a race like this. wow
If Hamilton get 2 laps more, him fataly won this race. What a driver. In 2006 (GP2) this guys show from all world audience - remember this: all drivers gets the same chassi and engine - your skills, speed, technic and talent. Now, we are testemony at your legacy... I love this driver and your achievements. Better than Senna, Prost, Stewart, Lauda and Schumacher TOGETHER. Hamilton write the history ladies and gentleman which love motorsports... Anyone who dares to question his achievements, must rethink what motor sport is, especially with regard to the largest category of world motorsport in all times (F1).
LH is at great driver no doubt about that but for me his constant whining on the radio over other drivers and particularly drivers who actually races him is annoying. He is sadly not the only driver who does that.
@@SuperHurtman Read my comment again. Just race dammit!! the older days was about racing now it is politics and who can cry the loudest over the airwaves. "oh no I can't pass him because he is holding his racing line" well that's racing and LH is particularly good to complain in those situations.
Hamilton best driver of all time nobody can come close, he will be talked about for 100 years ,about how good he is, I can't see anyone beating his record in our lifetime, we are lucky to acutely see him racing, I think he will keep going to 10 or 12 world championships and if he does that record will never be broken s
Back when he didn't have a single F1 victory, and yet today he rewrote the history books. I'm a huge Schumacher fan and didn't think I'd see his record broken for decades, but here we are.
This is one amazing drive. He spun, went to 21st and then went 2 seconds a lap faster in f2 than the whole field! Some of that breaking was so late it was almost mind boggling. No matter what anyone says about him, there’s no doubt he’s the most magical driver ever!
He'll be more grown up one day hopefully. I remember Lewis giving Max some advice, a couple of years ago, after max has lost the race to Lewis by crashing into Ocon at the Brazilian GP. Ocon, on new tyres, was entitled to unlap himself, which infuriated Max and the two collided. Lewis said to Max who was ranting on about Ocon, 'you had more to lose than him'! Max was silent after that. Those were the experienced words of a great, great champion. When I starting racing, an older hand said to me, remember all the prizes are at the finish, as you can't win the race on the first lap, but you can certainly lose it. 50 years on and I still remember them!
Lewis said to his mechanics, cut of mij wings so we have more straight line speed, thats why he spun in lap 2 he didnt know how the car behaved, but besides that because he cut of his wings he had less downforce, so it was harder to take the corners, and still he was better in corners then others. Not only that, he raced against soon to be f1 drivers and soon to be worldchampions.
Hulkenberg comes to mind. He has had a similar junior career as Hamilton championship wise. Leclerc too. But none of them has had the same dominance or legendary races.
@@jenningbernard Hulkenburg has got to be one of the most unlucky drivers in terms of opportunities. He was a rising star but was thrown about from team to team during his F1 career and never had his break. Hamilton was put into a McLaren straight away.
@@AramiMedia Yeah. He didn't have sponsors, and was not as marketable or PR worthy as some others. Being yet another talented and promising german driver at that time was a rough place to be. That's the other side of F1 - marketing tool and a show. Part of the reason Lewis have been doing so good is due to his PR value.
Right from karting days it was clear a new champion, Lewis HAMILTON would row to numerous victories. Tools that keeep making reference to car performance should go back and watch some of the races & see for themselves
@@oneroyalpriest8784 how do i sound stupid. No one has the same car except his tm8 so we can only guess if he is better then the rest of the field. We can only say with 100% accuracy that he is better then bottas. Dont get me wrong he is prob allot better than most of the field but no one has the same equipment like he has so we can only guess
@@Lamp-iw3gl "Prob a lot better than most" shutup, he's 6x WDC and has been dominating all his opponents since karting. It's no coincidence he's dominating F1 too. Schumi was only definitely better than Barrichello? Senna was only better than Berger? Your argument makes no sense. Good thing no one in the paddocks thinks like this only fans say these things.
@@manilli_ I agree, he is probably the best driver in F1, but the hate he's getting is the hate every dominant driver got. Vettel, schumacher were hated during the time they dominated, but the thing that most haters are mad about is that he and valteri are on another level when it comes to the car. This year is the most ridiculous. You see hamilton and bottas on first and second, one minute in front of all the others. Only verstappen gets close to bottas sometimes. I would have loved to see hamilton win 6 wdc, but having to fight to win the races. Most of the time he only has to overtake bottas in the first corners and he just goes and goes until he passes the finish line. That's boring. I watch F1 now mostly for the midfield because it's more entertaining. I hope that next year, with Vettel at aston martin, Leclerc having the new ferrari engine, mclaren getting a merc engine, it will be more of a fight for the first places, for the podium. Not just the regular 1,2- merc, 3- verstappen
Ahh, back when it was easy to watch motorsport on terrestrial TV. Great upload btw, don't think I've seen the highlights with James Allen commentating before: much better than the other vids of this race on youtube.
The things Hamilton haters see: He has the best car. The things Hamilton haters never mention: Beat record young double-world champion Fernando Alonso as a rookie at McLaren and was a pit stop mistake (by his team) from being rookie champion too. Joined Mercedes at the end of 2012 - at a time Mercedes was a distant 5th in the championship standings (a whopping 161 points behind 4th placed Lotus). Started the 2013 season facing a 4 time world champion with 39 wins (Vettel) and a 2 time world champion with 32 wins (Alonso), while he (Hamilton) himself had a single title to his name and 21 wins. (not mentioning the other two champions Raikkonen with 19 wins and Button with 15 wins). Won two of his titles in an inferior car, the 2008 McLaren and the 2018 Mercedes (the Ferrari was overall better both those years). Judging by Vettel's performance in 2017 it's fair to say that the 2017 was roughly equal to the 2017 Mercedes and probably better in the first half of the season. (he faced an illegal Ferrari in 2017,2018 and 2019 too). Managed 9 consecutive podiums from his *debut race in Australia 2007* - which still is the 7th longest consecutive podium streak in F1. 6 pole positions in his rookie season - many on tracks he never had raced on before. That's compared to the 2 poles of his far more experienced two-time world champion team mate. But, but...he has the best caaar! Sure, if that's all you can see....
It's not all they see. It's all they mention, because they are desperate to take the shine off of what is possibly the best racing car driver we've ever seen. It's pointless arguing with those people. You just have to accept they exist.
Two talking points for me!! Those cars look like they have the speed of late 90's early 20's F1. But the tyre's is even better.....Hamiltion had a spin and in todays tyres he would need to pit for a mini flat spot. But those tyres let the drivers do what racing drivers do........RACE
Proof for all you haters out there... This man is a genius behind the wheel of a F1 car. What a drive in cars that are all equal in his GP2 days. 7 or 8 time champion on the way
If it weren't for Timo Glock and his masterclass defensive maneuvers.. Hamilton would've possibly catched up to Zuber. Possibly. Also, I like how Hamilton doesn't give himself too much credit for the passes he did, saying the other drivers didn't want to interfere. I'm liking this guy even more!
Sensational race, Lewis showing everyone his talent in superb fashion. The commentary from James Allen (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m sure it’s the same voice as I used to hear on ITV’s coverage of F1) makes the race even better.
12:19 exactly how everyone watching this feels. Anyone that says Hamilton is quick because of the Mercedes F1 car doesn't know jack about racing. That was unreal driving.
James Allen is a GOAT among commentators .. This race was very exciting. I need to watch more from Lewis's 06 year. This was one for the record books as far as exciting.
That was a display of sheer skill and determination. Hamilton is a Racer to the core he’ll go wheel to wheel with the best of them. He was more dominant than Nico Rosberg but Nico is the only one who has managed to get under his skin and make his blood boil. Kinda miss rosberg and Hamilton haveing a scrap hope they’ll be friends one day . 🤝
Precisei assistir 3 vezes para entender, a capacidade e a percepção de frear no último milésimo de segundos, e sem comprometer os pneus realmente é algo que a muito mas a muito tempo não via, somados a um estilo de pilotagem único, colocar tempo em cima de tempo e ser muito constante, mesmo com as mudanças e variações e mudança do carro: Pneus, peso, vento, adversário, poupando ainda seu equipamento...e conseguindo se manter rápido e agressivo e acima de tudo constante aos vários fatores e momentos que está corrida apresentou... fantástico de um adaptação e total equilíbrio emocional na forma de guiar !!!simplesmente sensacional !!!! Ainda não vi ninguém assim, como é bom ver esse menino, hoje homem guiar, realmente ainda me surpreendo-me obrigado por alegrar os meus finais de semana
Well I have no idea how this video just went boom in the last few weeks, but if anyone wants to watch any feeder series highlights from previous years, I can try to upload if I find a source myself :)
It helps that Lewis broke Schumachers all time win record last week, lol
Thanks for uploading this man :D
Pls do upload them
RUclips being RUclips
Because so many people out there are complaining that Hamilton is only able to win championships because he’s in a Mercedes. This proves otherwise.

This year is the most ridiculous. You see hamilton and bottas on first and second, one minute in front of all the others. Only verstappen gets close to bottas sometimes. I would have loved to see hamilton win 6 wdc, but having to fight to win the races. Most of the time he only has to overtake bottas in the first corners and he just goes and goes until he passes the finish line. That's boring. I watch F1 now mostly for the midfield because it's more entertaining. I hope that next year, with Vettel at aston martin, Leclerc having the new ferrari engine, mclaren getting a merc engine, it will be more of a fight for the first places, for the podium. Not just the regular 1,2- merc, 3- verstappen
Legend number 1 greatest of all time
Timo glock was having none of it
Timo had soiled his race suit 🤣🤣
He eventually had some of "it" tho 🤣
Unfortunately, Timo wasn't that good in an F1 car!
I have heard about this legendary race. Wow Lewis showing his talent.
Zuber only thought he had the race under control if Hamilton hadn't of spun he wouldn't have won
sorry misread your post!
That was some incredible defensive driving by Timo Glock, and it made for some amazing racing. And with James Allen commentating it was even better.
wow i've been watching f1 a lot and tbh this is the best racing i've seen in years. i love how wide the track is!
The cream always rises to the top..
WOW !!! Hamilton's performance is truly WORLD CLASS !
Ahh, back when it was easy to watch motorsport on terrestrial TV. Great upload btw, don't think I've seen the highlights with James Allen commentating before: much better than the other vids of this race on youtube.
The things Hamilton haters see: He has the best car.
The things Hamilton haters never mention:
Beat record young double-world champion Fernando Alonso as a rookie at McLaren and was a pit stop mistake (by his team) from being rookie champion too.
Joined Mercedes at the end of 2012 - at a time Mercedes was a distant 5th in the championship standings (a whopping 161 points behind 4th placed Lotus).
Started the 2013 season facing a 4 time world champion with 39 wins (Vettel) and a 2 time world champion with 32 wins (Alonso), while he (Hamilton) himself had a single title to his name and 21 wins. (not mentioning the other two champions Raikkonen with 19 wins and Button with 15 wins).
Won two of his titles in an inferior car, the 2008 McLaren and the 2018 Mercedes (the Ferrari was overall better both those years). Judging by Vettel's performance in 2017 it's fair to say that the 2017 was roughly equal to the 2017 Mercedes and probably better in the first half of the season. (he faced an illegal Ferrari in 2017,2018 and 2019 too).
Managed 9 consecutive podiums from his *debut race in Australia 2007* - which still is the 7th longest consecutive podium streak in F1.
6 pole positions in his rookie season - many on tracks he never had raced on before. That's compared to the 2 poles of his far more experienced two-time world champion team mate.
But, but...he has the best caaar!
Sure, if that's all you can see....
It's not all they see. It's all they mention, because they are desperate to take the shine off of what is possibly the best racing car driver we've ever seen.
It's pointless arguing with those people. You just have to accept they exist.
Keep in mind that 2 time world champion Alonzo won the F1 championship fresh from 2006 ,then came Lewis .
Proof of work for all to appraise from the virtuoso himself, Carl Lewis Hamilton.
Two talking points for me!! Those cars look like they have the speed of late 90's early 20's F1. But the tyre's is even better.....Hamiltion had a spin and in todays tyres he would need to pit for a mini flat spot. But those tyres let the drivers do what racing drivers do........RACE
Proof for all you haters out there... This man is a genius behind the wheel of a F1 car. What a drive in cars that are all equal in his GP2 days. 7 or 8 time champion on the way
He gave so many years of just phenomenal driving it’s so hard to tell which was his best race or penultimate race.
Ohh my god WHAT A RACE!! That masterpiece defense by Glock , as relentless as Lewis. What a comeback!
If it weren't for Timo Glock and his masterclass defensive maneuvers.. Hamilton would've possibly catched up to Zuber. Possibly. Also, I like how Hamilton doesn't give himself too much credit for the passes he did, saying the other drivers didn't want to interfere. I'm liking this guy even more!
Gandalf The Glock. YOU SHALL NOT PASS!
And where is Glock now?
Duing to nolstalgia, I didn't want to admit it, but I think now I can say: this guy is the GOAT of F1. And I've been watching it since 1992.
Sensational race, Lewis showing everyone his talent in superb fashion. The commentary from James Allen (correct me if I’m wrong, I’m sure it’s the same voice as I used to hear on ITV’s coverage of F1) makes the race even better.
That late braking 😱
wow, unbelievable!
No matter how good a car without a good driver no dice
I saw those spectators realized this man can break MSC all time record
12:19 exactly how everyone watching this feels. Anyone that says Hamilton is quick because of the Mercedes F1 car doesn't know jack about racing. That was unreal driving.
And haters got the nerve to say Hamilton got no talent
James Allen is a GOAT among commentators .. This race was very exciting. I need to watch more from Lewis's 06 year. This was one for the record books as far as exciting.
RIP to her husband John. Louise was a splendid presenter.
And now 7 times world champion.
Great drive mate Goat 🐐
This Hamilton guy is great, hope he gets an F1 seat next year
Only champion, because he's in the best car? Nah, I don't think so.
What a race..!! Get in there Lewis..!!!! Legend..!! 👍😊
Someone should show this to Jackie Stewart
@Samanthaflower Lewis isn’t black he has a white mom
Agreed, Jackie has rested on his laurels for way too long, and has now become a grumpy old man with a huge chip on his shoulder.
@Samanthaflower where did you get all that from? Are you a racist if you don't praise Lewis these days?
Jackie Who 🦯
@Samanthaflower Spot on!
Gotta admit Glock is great at battling and defending
Is that Glock going slowly!? Wait, wrong race..
Lewis has got no fear, he must trusts the car & heat in the tyres! & just goes for it! Very competitive!
2008 Glock in Brazil remembering this, “fuck it, it’s Hamilton I won’t bother fighting he’ll just pass me anyway”
this man is going somewhere, hopefully he gets into F1.
Now that's interesting racing! Great to see how good Hamilton was back then.
Thanks for the upload...really enjoyed watching this. Some serious, hard nosed driving from Lewis.
That was a display of sheer skill and determination. Hamilton is a Racer to the core he’ll go wheel to wheel with the best of them.
He was more dominant than Nico Rosberg but Nico is the only one who has managed to get under his skin and make his blood boil.
Kinda miss rosberg and Hamilton haveing a scrap hope they’ll be friends one day . 🤝
"tHiS gUy OnLy KnOwS hOw To RaCe FrOm ThE fRonT"
Not his fault. He's still salty about getting beat by a rookie as the defending 2 time Champ
Lewis spun back into the track like this is sim racing
GOAT.
Wow just wow. And to think that he also won his 7th title in Istanbul as well....
Timo Glock showing why he was given a chance in Formula One. He was superb but Hamilton was just better.
The music at the end reminds me of old Super Nintendo games in a good way. Great comeback from LH44.
Precisei assistir 3 vezes para entender, a capacidade e a percepção de frear no último milésimo de segundos, e sem comprometer os pneus realmente é algo que a muito mas a muito tempo não via, somados a um estilo de pilotagem único, colocar tempo em cima de tempo e ser muito constante, mesmo com as mudanças e variações e mudança do carro: Pneus, peso, vento, adversário, poupando ainda seu equipamento...e conseguindo se manter rápido e agressivo e acima de tudo constante aos vários fatores e momentos que está corrida apresentou... fantástico de um adaptação e total equilíbrio emocional na forma de guiar !!!simplesmente sensacional !!!! Ainda não vi ninguém assim, como é bom ver esse menino, hoje homem guiar, realmente ainda me surpreendo-me obrigado por alegrar os meus finais de semana
