Lewis is the best F1 driver in the world for me. All the things he’s been through with all the racism since started in racing from childhood to now he is immensely strong. He doesn’t get the respect he deserves especially here at home in the UK 🇬🇧 but lots of him love 💓 him through it all good times, bad times and great times. I hope I will see another black drive in F1 some day but for now I am so proud of Lewis and his achievements. Thank you for doing this feature on him
Jennifer Maple you know it’s funny because micheal won 5 WC with Ferrari with wingman rubens for literally 6 seasons At least Lewis faced threat from nico who took him 3 years just to beat lewis lmao 😂 😂
@Jennifer Maple but now after 10 months he broke Schumacher's record, so i guess he is better than Schumacher. Schumacher is not in the same league as lewis.
@Jennifer Maple hhhhhhh u are funny uno lewis hamilton has scored the most points in f1 history 3431so i guess Schumacher is not the same league as lewis when it comes to f1 history😆
Love him Or hate him You have to respect what he has achieved is history being made right in front of your eyes You can't be loved by all but hey respect him please
@Jennifer Maple Well in that case, Vettel hasn't won much in a Ferrari and he was good back in RedBull. Redbull hasn't been winning much GPs either now. Don't forget that Lewis almost won the championship in his rookie year and beat his teammate Alonso when he was at his career best. 2009 and 10 saw McLarens downfall which eventually led to change.
@@dan._13 I don't get it. You all say he's bad off track blah blah blah, but really its just a few unconfirmed stories you've heard. Just tell me one incident. He seems like a very nice guy to be honest. But if being flashy with his possessions is bad then 🤷🏾♂️🤷🏾♂️ Its his money and he deserved it anyway.
Thanks for your video. Just subscribed. You're 100% right about the way Lewis interacts with his fans, in 2017 at Monza I was lucky enough to be outside his garage on the track after the race and he came and jumped into the crowd and celebrated with us signing lots of things. A moment I'll never forget!
Sarah Jane Martinez lucky for him F1 switch to V6 hybrid era that makes mercedes strong. If F1 were to stay in the V8 era. We wouldn’t be calling lewis a 6 times world champion
Jennifer Maple i dont remember comparing senna to hamilton. Never will i make a claim so absurd. All im saying is you people like to give shit to hamilton just because he has a good car. What do you expect him to do? Kick his front wing off before every race.
why do i feel like her and lewis are not close at all? or maybe its because how i see lewis and angela interact so lovingly but with rosa its all professional
Toro Loco I had that vibe too. She did mention how busy Lewis always is. I think they just keep their relationship strictly professional to be honest. She didn’t speak much about Lewis.
I don't get what people don't like about him off track. Just because he's not a hermit and has real interests bothers some but I think it works for him. He's soft spoken, polite, and seems to live a clean healthy life. What's not to like. He even drives cleanly on the track. He's faster than hell and a great champion. I must say if he was white would anybody have trouble with his lifestyle?
Thank you for sharing some exemplary, high quality work, Mr. Illman! Exquisite photography and impartial commentary are a rare combination in today's world.
Isn't that the truth, I am a fan of several drivers on the grid and wouldn't dream of being disrespectful about any. I also appreciate good honest unbiased well put together commentary/points of view.
@@Merl61 not surprising, i can't imagine an athlete would go anywhere near Energy Drinks, they are the unhealthiest things you can put in your mouth and give you terrible breath, imagine burping in your helmet during the race + needing to pee. I saw him with a Monster drink on the driver's parade in Brazil, surely was not Monster inside.
Hello Mr. Illman, I somewhat stumbled upon your channel today and so far I've been very impressed. I myself am an avid F1 enthusiast and experiencing F1 from a photographer's perspective on RUclips is new quite new interesting! Your content is quite insightful and well put together in a sort of serene way. Thank you very much!!
There is a vid that he put on Insta that show him and Angela living together in his personal motor home at the European races.... they have separate rooms though.
I have just discovered your channel. Good to see a fellow Australian with excellent content. Your production and content os amazing. You make the hipster commentators at Autosport look like Complete amateurs!
@@KymIllman It's. Well. Deserved praise. Being a Perth boy I can't wait to see Everything we need to know about Daniel. Ricciardo! Would you consider sharing your stories and anecdotes about past drivers youve had the pleasure of being around?
Lewis Hamilton is a very talented driver. All of the grid are talented. But if Lewis didn't make that switch to Mercedes after 2012, he would've likely followed the path of Jenson Button in the downfall of McLaren and leave the sport later on a 1-Time Champion. But the car doesn't do all the work, and you can respect him for that. But there are other drivers on the grid who can beat him in equal machinery (IMO).
A friend of mine attended a shoot with a number of F1 drivers and he said Vettel was the most down to earth and Lewis was a bit of a dick… not talking to „mere mortals“
Everything you have just conveyed in this vlog is already in the public domain and has been since Lewis became the driver who passed Alonso all those years ago.
lando also uses this toy vehicule ( don t know the english word). he probably sleep with its therapist. its obvious that they have a lot of tactical gestures from each other. they can hide their relashionship but their looks for each other can t lie.
Reply to Jennifer, Lewis has won every year he's been in f1 and should have 2007 and in an inferior car in 2012, championships. That would make 8. Senna is the only one that may have been better.
Forgot to mention that he can't handle being in 2nd place - Breaks composure when faced with unexpected race conditions - Leading to the obvious observation, he brown noses the team when he wins and throws them under the bus while he is fighting to win. He is the best with the crowd, but seems less authentic than a happy Sebastian (if we ever get to see that again). I'm still a big fan, but can see he is not a natural at anything aside the pure race talent.
@@Mak̇Delkic Maybe he's serious about his goals at each race and beats himself down whenever he doesn't achieve them. Maybe he sees it like an opportunity lost. Maybe he would like to be happy but a heavy conscience won't allow him.
Why should he want the team to settle for second? When he wins he compliments the team, when he doesn't he says openly we have to do better. The important word being we. The conversations on the radio are primarily there for team comms, not for public entertainment. Do you think that people would think very highly of any business that had to show all its internal comms? When he talks with the rest of the team he's not caring about the rest of the people listening in, he just wants the help he's asking for or asking for clarification on decisions even when he is questioning them. I bet you never have a disagreement with your workmates or bosses about how you do your job......... How would you feel if you did disagree and that argument was published?
@@inorbit5236 Authenticity? Is he not an authentic multiple world champion? Is he not an authentic professional? What is it that you find is not authentic? Can you explain why you, someone that only knows him through videos and reading about him in the press, don't feel he's real? Now you could be right but, you are basing your argument on what you are being shown in the press.
Or just a dude who isn't afraid of his curiosity. A lot of people live within boundaries, only a few have the courage to push them and fewer survive it let alone prosper or succeed through it.

Jennifer Maple virgin alert
I’m not a die hard Lewis fan, but my respect for him is immense. The feat he has achieved cannot be denied by ANYONE.
Jennifer Maple you know it’s funny because micheal won 5 WC with Ferrari with wingman rubens for literally 6 seasons
At least Lewis faced threat from nico who took him 3 years just to beat lewis lmao 😂 😂
If Lewis was at Ferrari he would never have achieved 6wc, he might have go two or three though
@Jennifer Maple but now after 10 months he broke Schumacher's record, so i guess he is better than Schumacher.
Schumacher is not in the same league as lewis.

@Jennifer Maple 91 will come and 6? he has 8 lol
When Lewis retires best to not forget to bloody knight Angie for her work.
Angela is also his trainer. She has an incredible resumé and is the only female trainer in F1. Hats off to both of them.
Love him Or hate him
You have to respect what he has achieved is history being made right in front of your eyes
You can't be loved by all but hey respect him please
no
Respect the sport, and the best on the grid
i will not
you shouldn't post as Jules Bianchi. RIP Jules.

@@ductrung3993 please elaborate
Shimeih cause he always says the others are quick in a weekend but than he wins by 20+ seconds.
Sir Lewis is my favourite driver on the grid by far. He's a great, down to earth guy. And has style!

I too was there to witness that.
You’ve captured some very historical moments
A Great Sportsman with Morals
I had more interest in F1 when he started his debut. I knew that he will become a legend in motor sport.
Sarah Jane Martinez lucky for him F1 switch to V6 hybrid era that makes mercedes strong. If F1 were to stay in the V8 era. We wouldn’t be calling lewis a 6 times world champion
Blackjack 91 schumacher had the domiant car. Senna had the dominant car and so did vettel . Stop pretending that this was never the case
Become? He is already a legend and is wildly consider the greatest driver of this generation.
Jennifer Maple and how is that his fault?
Jennifer Maple i dont remember comparing senna to hamilton. Never will i make a claim so absurd. All im saying is you people like to give shit to hamilton just because he has a good car. What do you expect him to do? Kick his front wing off before every race.
I actually met Rosa and she was really kind and helpful when I visited their garage back in Malaysia 2017!
why do i feel like her and lewis are not close at all? or maybe its because how i see lewis and angela interact so lovingly but with rosa its all professional

i think schumi brought his dog to the paddock a few times
That was before my time
Great video thanks 😊
I like fashion lewes. It's amazing
He stylist is young female. I personally think he should hire an older male because to me she don't have clue about how to dress men.
Great!
My fave
Lewis is a hero
Interesting channel...glad I found it
We need a 2021 update on that list; He is the only driver to gain 25 places.
Good one

Nice video man. Love Lewis
Great Britt Lewis Hamilton. love him.
Great video like always. This is good.
Glad you're viewing them

Great video kym lovle it 👍
Music to my ears.
Just watched the Vettel video these are so awesome
Daniel Ricciardo is up next.
LH is the best.

great job on the vids, but could you do a driver profile of verstappen?
At some point yes
I would be happy pootling round coming last and taking the money in.
About the energy drinks...
Monster, Red Bull, etc all make cans of water for their sponsored athletes. Their called "stadium cans".
can you make a video on nico rosberg. i know he's retired but would love to see a video on him.

He makes very few mistakes that’s for sure
Can you make a video on how you got to F1 and how can a photographer get to F1.
I have no idea how any other photographer can get into F1 so probably not worth a video on that.
He looking away from the camera to show the bose
Can you do everything about lando Norris ??
millionaire father. spanked by carlos sainz. there finished (J/k im actually a norris fan)
So that explains the scootering, so he doesn't get mobbed. We forget that he is still human.
A friend of mine attended a shoot with a number of F1 drivers and he said Vettel was the most down to earth and Lewis was a bit of a dick… not talking to „mere mortals“
Awesome video brother! I am a wheelchair bound wanna be f1 pundit. I have done a few videos on Lewis Hamilton. Feel free to check them out!
Two beautiful women around him... good man 👍
He's a bit of an introvert. You can see he looks uncomfortable in front of the camera.
Or he just wants a bit of space and privacy seeing as hes constantly in the lime light
EvO He’s always been that way.. A little like Kimi. Nothing wrong with that but if you can’t it I’m surprised.
interesting, as hamilton expressed....moments ago, he is killing the planet with this floor show, "what is the point" Lewis
What?
English the best
Oh, sothe scooter is to reduce on the selfies and autographs
One of the advantages yes.
LH44 will be the G.O.A.T in 2022!
Is he secretly seeing his physio I wonder.
😂
She's married...
Make a story for max verstappen
His turn will come.

Well spotted.
Gotta suck that your own country doesnt recognize you because (lets face it and lets keep it real) of his color of skin. Love you Lewis!
