- Lewis Hamilton showed the makings of a future Formula 1 world champion a very, very long time ago! Here he is with a Formula Junior Intercontinental victory in 1998, in which he started at the back of the grid but soon weaved through the pack to the win.

Bono: "get in there Lewis"
Lewis: "who r u?"
Bono: "I'm from the future"
Underrated xomment
"russel, its james, let lewis pass"
And somewhere out there, was a fist pounding a table
Bono: "Tell me your tyres are gone. Tell me. I wanna hear you say it"
😄😄😄😄😄
This kid really has potential, he might become an f1 driver one day
Mabye even try and break fangios record u never no
leo_lial we will see....
@@lewballFB what record? Do you mean Fangio's record for WDC? Schumacher still has only two championships
This aged extremely well
@@billyjov ayy let me change that quick
Alex Lloyd, former IndyCar Driver. I Didn’t know he competed against Lewis in Karting!
Pink Lloyd.
@@Elaba_ Pink Floyd?
Not just a former IndyCar driver, but a top-five Indy 500 finisher.
@@AutoRockinRacing94 yeah! His run in the Coyne car that year was very impressive!
@@AutoRockinRacing94 With a pink Cadillac.
The instant thumbs up and handshake at the end, Lewis has always shown class on and off the track. A great inspiration.
This is what children are being taught from their early races. You need to pay respect to your opponents - on track or elsewhere.
So humble
oH hiS kaRt Is beTteR thAN thE OthEr kArts!!
Well tbf the guy in p1s kart broke. But still a great race
Actually this may be true. I dont doubt it.
Mercades kart lol
Better than this years Ferrari
@@MoonLight-tw9tq its probaly even slower (if that is possible) if you think about the financial situation of the hamilton family at that point
1:20 THROUGH GOES HAMILTON
UNBELIEVABLE STUFF
Meanwhile ... Bono is studying calculus in the corner somewhere with "Get in there Lewis" yet to be born 🤣
I've never laughed so hard🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😌
Such an annoying thing to hear, especially last race as he sounded like a baby
@@dinosshed Glad you got to hear it 8 years in a row
Imagine telling this small guy that he would win seven world championships😆
not quite 4 year old here but yeah ;)
7? That number won't be correct within a couple of years.
@@Elaba_ what do you mean?
@Adhvay Prasanth oh lol yh now I get it, sorry I should go to bed 😅
I think he will not believe.
The reason why he started from the back is not that he's a bad driver, but because his engine failed in the previous race.
He always did the talking on the track. Once he crossed the line, he acknowledged the challenge from his rival. Then and now, still the same humble guy.. We won't see a driver like Lewis for a very long time. He is one of a kind! Such a pleasure to witness Hamilton's Career. He only has a few years left. Gotta appreciate this legend while he is still here..
That's what I'm talking about, that's why he's the MVP. That's why he's the GOAT! THE GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAT
Humble? He is a great driver though
This Hamilton has F1 potential.
Who k ow he might geow and beat fangio's record
i doubt it, i’ve seen better.....
Hopefully he continues to perform well
I have a funny feeling he might be the one to surpass Schumacher's records in the future.
So he was a monster since childhood....what a legend, nothing but respect
Dude is just built differently. He looked so menacing with that dark visor!
You have to win everything to get a f1 driver so no wonder
all of the greats in every field have something in common, they were legends as children, makes me wish I knew what I wanted to do in life when I was 6
MB 😂😂
Lewis Hamilton has always been a beast, the problem is that people think just because he’s in the best built car on the grid, he not a great driver and it makes me sad that all these knew F1 fans, particularly the ones that think max is the second coming of Jesus, they don’t know me Hamilton’s history, I mean forget his karting days, people are too near sighted to even remember what he did in F2... it’s annoying cause you have to have arguments or discussions with people who only understand F1 from when max verstappen got into it.
I was at this exact event when I was 15, I got to watch the whole event from the sidelines, as I didn't make it past the first knock out stage. Great racing and no one knew then we were watching the making of one of the very best. Amazing day and love that track.
I thought when i saw this video “i will check the comments and imagine if someone was in the race with lewis and they were driving against the best driver of all time (in stats) and then i saw your comment and i celebrated because i actually found someone racing lewis but then you were on the sidelines and i thought you didnt race but then i saw that you got knocked out in the first round so funny and then i relised how cool it was that you got to see the best driver (by stats) race in a karting track infront of you haha.
@@eoinshannon36 thanks? lol
I guess you can now proudly say "I raced Hamilton and I lost".
He's always been a winner. Even from the karting days you knew he'd go a long way🙌
If you listen closely you can hear him complaining about the fact his tyres are gone.
Mclaren driver since his 7, this kid was a gem on his own. McLaren will never ever never find a driver like this again.
Clinical eye by Dennis too!
Lando Norris?.. Debate
@@AAde-or3qz meh, the guy can barely beat Sainz, lost to Russell by more than 50 points in F2 finishing only a few points ahead of Albon.
Sorry but no, Norris is average af compared to Hamilton
Actually, he signed contract with McLaren when he was 13, not 7
@@AAde-or3qz he’s just an average pay driver. Yes he got that podium but he’s been relatively weak from then on. But we’ll see
@@AAde-or3qz Norris is more Bottas than Hamilton, if u have that "nice guy" attitude in a car that's capable of winning championships, he is no.2 at best if he's next to someone like LeClerc or Max.
1:21 "through goes Hamilton" 👀
Sounds Familiar 🧐
Now the other drivers who lost this race are now satisfied
Except the one leading the race (Colman 3:00 ), he had engine failure ! Rumor said he still had a grudge until today.
All but one sadly.
Hehehehe.
All but Christian Bakkerud..he died in a car crash in 2011..
@@andis9076 wonder what became of the other racers??
"Well if you dilly-dally around in front of Lewis Hamilton he will just move through"
It's like Martin Brundle has been watching too much Mary Poppins
Lewis using 'we' to not take all the credit, proper lad
And still does to this day..
This Hamilton guy should try open wheels one day, we never know
I think he could match schumacher
@@alexsib444 nahhhh maybe a win or two
@@StingiestInk0 I only see him scoring podiums man
@@PG-20 podiums? I was thinking just some points.
@@alexsib444 so win two championships?
Now we all know why he remained number 44 after he became a multiple-time F1 World Champion.
Yeah everyone knew that

Look at his double overtake in the British GP from this past weekend. Similar move!!
I want to like your comment mate, but you have 44 likes 😅🤷🏽♀️
“Then Hamilton takes advantage of all of them.” He’s till doing it today.
2:39 that double overtake though, Lewis clearly had the racer's insinct even then.
Look at his overtake from this past weekend on Leclarc and Perez 🥹

Arise Sir Lewis Hamilton.
Build him in Mc😜

absolute class act looking to shake hands with the kid who came in second immediately after crossing the finish line. what a legend
His Dad is a Champion too.
His dad really is the real MVP, what an epic dad
The tyres on his family car were well and truly gone!
"Its the car"... Oh wait 😂 I can't stand people who said that! You just can't deny Lewis Hamilton was born to drive a car fast.
Weird to hear the MotoGP commentator speaking about Lewis Hamilton
Thought he sounded like keith huewen too😂

Took me by surprise to hear him, awesome!

How?
Is that Andreas' bro..??

@@ArnoldTriyudho no
He was wearing Mclaren overalls at 13! Talented guy.
Yeah, financed too
Look at the paint scheme...it’s a mini McLaren
I Think this is year he was first signed to McLaren Mercedes drivers academy
this guy has future, maybe he can equal the two time championship Schumacher
maybe schumi can win 5 more titles in the future
Hello, I'm from the future. Schumi wins 7 championships. A decade later Lewis wins 8 championship with Mercedes and retires from F1.
@@venkatjayadeepj1342 wow that is incredible. would never imagine this
One of the greatest sportsmen the U.K has ever produced!!

He's the "greatest", the "most successful", and the "most accomplished".
I agree as a fellow brit 👍

@@chrisbamo9999 sarcasm broo
Can we agree that Lewis is the greatest driver of his time? It's hard to pinpoint that one GOAT. It's just not possible to put Fangio,Clark,Lauda,Senna,Prost,Schumacher,Vettel and him in their prime in equal machinery to find out.
I agree. Imagine what would have happened without his dead tires.
Don't forget Sterling Moss
That's exactly how I think as well. Respect greatness. Eras can't be really compared. Everyone on your list is a legend.
For me there is like a hall of the multiple champions. There is no higher achievement than joining them
@@Cafferssss I wonder who will be the next to join them
Loving the sportsmanship at the end there.
1:21
1998:through goes hamilton
2022:through goes hamilton
"Not only did he win, he takes the fastest lap as well"
Deja vu
I wish we could get more highlights of karting races. That way we can recognise early talent
It took 22 years after he has achieved so much for people to recognize the stuff of legend of this back when.
I have the feeling this kid might equal, if not, overtake Micheals records one day.
Don't get ahead of yourself now, that's impossible :/ he would have to become THE GREATEST OF ALL TIME.
In 96 schumi was only a 2 time world champion, I’m sure beating his 96 records sounded a heck of a lot easier
5:07 RIP Christian Bakkerud
Oh... what happened ?
@@Spido68_the_spectator car accident
That 5 minute race had more action and drama than the whole 2020 F1 season
Lewis is the greatest driver this generation will ever see.
I feel blessed to have grown up watching Schumacher in the Ferrari and now Hamilton. I will always love Schumacher, but quite incredible to have experienced these two in my lifetime.
*History will ever know*
Remains to be seen but, at the moment, I agree
Not at all.
He is the luckiest.
Only Statistically
That move into 2nd 👁️👄👁️
Everyone arguing wether Hamilton or Schumacher is better but we all now Maldonado is the true GOAT
Trueeee
Greatest Outback of All Time
@@user-jc1cl9tx7d yees
Pffff... You know that lord Mahaveer is the true GOAT. He didn't even need to drive in Formula 1 to prove it
@@bigklamoty2137 yep I agree, we shouldn’t be arguing about Schumacher and Hamilton, the real fight is Maheever and Maldonado
He's more than just a champ ,he has a beautiful heart ❤
This 14 year old kid is a seven time world champion now. Wow.
EDIT: I don't really know how old he was, I just guessed
11
In karting? He should make some progress in a higher series.
5:12 they say 13y
Wasn't this in 1998? The end result table has the number 98 in the top left corner.. 🙄
@@tobiasharrington1719 ah my bad 13 year old
I first saw those moves and how he manoeuvred through corners in Australia 2007. Became a fan of his driving straightaway.
you can really tell that it's Hamilton just by the way he drives
Fun fact: My dad met Lewis Hamilton in 1995 karting :)
@@slavsquatter1326 quite dissapointing
@@slavsquatter1326 we all have things we do to entertain ourselves. No one should have opinions on each others.
how is that fun?
@@puntobarrabajapunto exactly what I mean
@@shxdowofficial You are right kid, do what you like and do not care what others think of that. Nice that your dad met Hamilton.
Funny how Lewis’ Kart looks a lot like the late 90s/early 00s McLaren liveries
This when he was sponsored by McLaren Mercedes that’s why
4:54 this guy must now be like 'i raced lewis hamilton and he shook my hand'
I like his Senna inspired helmet. Better than the current purple design
He should run the OG yellow for the end of the season. Maybe run through them all.
But next one will probably be a celebratory golden.
@@josesammut9396 It's' far more iconic and interesting for him to use his own helmet instead of a copycat/inspired Senna helmet
He used to race with it, I don't know what happened for him to switch. Back in his early years of f1 he used it.
@@cyrusthegreat3553 He changed when he joined Mercedes cos Rosberg also had a yellow helmet
@@davemeese6788 then Rosberg changed his to black haha. They went from both yellow to both dark.
Men.. I have watched this and now I’m crying.
It’s just a super privilege to be a witness of his journey.
The move at 2:40, wow! He saw what was going on and what will happen, moved back for a wider line and overtook them on the inside. Wow!
that was exactly like 2022 silverstone double overtake
I love how one of his podiums was sponsored by "McLaren Mercedes" on his back
This wasn’t his first podium. He won a couple of championship before that.
@@jenningbernard Well yeah thats true because one of his championships was from "Elf Masters"
Feels weird without hearing "Get in there, Lewis"
As a Hamilton-fan, it is heart whelming to see a video about an age where we was all over the place He just destroyed everybody with overtakes in a great fight.
his qualifying has improved a bit from then to this season.
He had kart issues in qualy
If there’s ones thing I learned from this video it’s to never dilly dattle in front of lewis hamilton
And after he got in F1 he hears one sentence after the race:
"Get in there Lewis!"
Haters: He had the fastest kart, anyone could do that.
this has nothing to do with being haters. he had the best car for the last 6 years it‘s a fact you cannot deny🤷🏼♂️
@@South4153 what do you expect when you put the best driver in the best car?
@@hi_c.v7289 don‘t know. hasn‘t been done too many times. but i don‘t think lewis will let mercedes hire leclerc oe verstappen. too afraid(;
@@South4153 Afraid of a guy who he beat by 40 seconds after starting behind?
@@South4153 sure Buddy.....
Such a fascinating race! This really shows how talented Lewis is!
2:44 anyone else reminded of his move on Leclarc and Perez??
GET IN THERE LEWIS !!!!!!
As a motorsport fan I'm overwhelmed and thankful to witness a one in a lifetime talent like Hamilton. What a racer!!!
Too secure his 7th title in the way he did in Turkey is another proof what an exceptional driver he is.
Congratulations Lewis!!!!
/a Riccardo fan
How it started and how it's going!
Yee
That move at 2:40... EXTRAORDINARY!!!!
"It's the cart, give any driver that cart and he will beat Lewis Hamilton" - The delusional/hateful F1 fan corner 😆😆😆😆😆
And he has the ‘best kart’!
1:21 THROUGH GOES HAMILTONNN
2:08 Holmann the Poleman is something I never thought I needed to hear ...
This is far more exciting than most of the F1 races these days !!
What did they expect. Why did they even start a race against a 7-time world champion Kappa
“He HaS tHe BeSt KaRt”
The greatest to ever do it!
This commentary puts Crofty to shame 😂
Thats how you get drivers names right
A lesson for all those armchair critics who routinely throw jibes like, "but he only wins coz of the best car", "Is he actually capable of overtaking someone when not leading".
Racing against drivers 3-4 yrs older than him, and showing all the skills in his repertoire to win in a category where there is obviously no car advantage. Haters need to see the doc if they're still not convinced.
After he win the race he went immediatly to give the handle at the 2°. Truly Champion. Truly Legend.
Everyone knows he only won because he had a Mercedes kart
Hahahah🤣
Yeah a 1000hbp kart with mgu k and mgu h
Comment of the century
A hybrid.
Idiot! The carts are all same
Seen this before, absolute class 🙌
This put a smile in my face.
Nice THX for this upload ❤️👍
Lewis is the best! And he didn’t have the fastest kart either , very intelligent behind the wheel.
My tyres are dead !
When he says that on the radio the other drivers will hypermile to the finish.
Nice. What's Lewis Hamilton doing these days ? did he continue with racing sport ? Seems to be decent at it.
I'll Google it and will let you know.
He won 10 x🏆 then retired after missing out on his 11th by 1 point to Max Verstappen. He left F1 as he entered it 😁
Ya de pequeño mostrando su valía,gracias por este video historico
1:20 "through goes Hamilton"
Haters be like : He has the fastest Cart🙄
Imagine if this kid equals MICHAEL SCHUMACHER'S record for 7 championships 😂
Very few drivers have had such a lethal combination of speed AND awareness. It's one thing to be rapid but its another thing entirely to keep your cool at all times knowing what's at stake. He's probably the most aware driver i've ever watched. He knows exactly how to pace himself in the moment which is why his mistake rate is so low compared to other drivers. From this race its clear to see that he's always had this awareness from a young age.
RIP Christian Bakkerud
"...well, if you dilly dally around Hamilton, he will just go through". Ain't that right, Sir!?😂
Cue the "But-he's-got-the-fastest-car" crew...
His Kart is Faster than the W13
Kmag also did this, started nr. 35 ended p1. He was 13 years old at the time... F1 drivers are just that great you know.
Hope everyone that sees this has a great day and stay safe everyone
Legend is the perfect word to define who he's today.
He was so incredibly mature for his age, and a bit shy as well. Of course the talent was there. A champion in the making
So Lewis would have been (roughly) 13 years old in this video. And he still took the time to give the 2nd place driver a thumbs up and hand shake (of sorts), immediately after he won. True sportsmanship there!
Edited: To change 11 to 13. Was not aware that this race was actually in 1998 and the F1 channel made a mistake.
What a talent, legend indeed!
