      @Barcelona golden state Max is the most dominant in terms of personality and full backing of the team. Lewis is close behind but, he can get beaten from time to time because Mercedes share their data and engineers to enhance unity and team spirit. Leclerc is going against Vettel who is a 4 time world champion, so people will criticize Vettel more than they'll praise Leclerc. Because Vettel was dominating in Ferrari before he started making mistakes.

      You have to understand that when Hamilton started in F1, he was in Ron´s Mclaren. A team so tight that drivers had to always be shaved, immaculate trim and well dressed and no tattoos and always say the right thing, never doubt, never question, etc etc. So Hamilton had to be that guy. Soon he changed to Mercedes you could see him starting to open up.
      That mentality in Mclaren was what made Raikkonen change to Ferrari (also because how Mclaren blew an engine every two races).

      He really is a racing machine. He has top notch one lap pace, conserves tires better than anyone, and is in a league of his own when it rains. Add in incredible wheel to wheel skill and the knowledge to overrule bad strategy calls and you have the greatest F1 driver of all time. He seriously has no weakness atm.

I’ll never forget his first F1 start for McLaren alongside Alonso in Albert Park - he qualified behind him but made a better start overtaking him into the first corner - a rookie beating the two time world champion and making it look like he had being doing it for years - I felt so proud and have had the privilege of watching virtually his whole F1 career - the highs and the lows and honestly I believe he is the best to ever do it.

    Lewis was literally driving through a track filled with nepotism. Finding his way into F1 based purely on merit. What a guy.

    Anyone saying it's the car that's winning things now, needs to look back at things like this to see why he's in that car in the first place. F1 channels need to show more of things like this from all the drivers

    F1 can we please get a gp2/f2 archive on F1TV? I would love to be able to see the full race replay of this race and many others, seems that you still have the footage laying around, would be massively appreciated

    You don’t have to be first. It’s how you deal with adversity. You are and always will be a legend Lewis! You’re an inspirational human, never mind F1 champion. Much love!

    I wasn’t a fan of Lewis until 2019 but share this video (and one from 2000 karting he came first and commentators keep saying he’s gonna be something in future) to the people who say he is what he is because of his car. True champ.
