I'm an LH44 fan to the grave, but as I recall both Red Bulls qualified on the primes (as the harder compound was known back then) while Hamilton qualified on the options (the softer compound). A qualy-over-race outlook from McLaren. It ended up working out in the race and I'm glad it did, but I think impartiality, something the anti-Hamilton crowd will all too often refuse to adopt, has to take precedent. In that race Hamilton indeed got pole by virtue of being on the softer compound, but managed to translate that into a win by pure talent in the slower car. I also, however, remember Hamilton running out of fuel and being unable to return to the pits under the car's own power for that qualifying lap. Were rules changed immediately following that incident? Quite possibly. Because a repeat of that incident in Spain 2012 cost Hamilton pole, ultimately giving it to Maldonado.
@@Bahamuttiamat *Korea* is definitely his most underrated pole position. I'd go as far as to say it's his 2nd best pole ever. Nothing will ever beat the *shock* that was Singapore 2018 tho.
Singapore 2018 wasn't just the best pole he ever achieved, but also was one of the best races he ever did. It was something so magic to watch. This race and Turkey 2020 was so so magic to see.
It's both. If Lewis had not signed for Mercedes in 2013 nobody would be calling him a legend. If Lewis was a bad driver we would all be talking about the 7 time World Champion Nico Rosberg.
I mean the guy has talent, but you can't deny that car helps him too. I'd like to see what he could produce in today's McLaren. He's always had the luxury of driving a winning car.
always noticed how he brings up the many men & women behind his success when he achieves something great. the fact that that kind of response comes naturally to him, rather than it seeming forced for the cameras, says a lot about his sportsmanship and humility even while being one of the GOATS. not always been a fan but this man was clearly special from the start and deserves this 100%.
But that isn't right, is it? He does that, but as soon as he has failed to be first, he IS first to blame the car. He is for sure the goat, hard to deny that, but to me it doesn't not look genuine when he always mentions the factory workers. Same when you come in to work and greet everyone, its not mandatory but its common sense.
@@ugisrugelis2070 Lewis is a genius. When Lewis thanks the people back at the factory on the Sunday and those same factory workers go to work on the Monday, they'll give that extra 5% as a result, no doubt about it. This ensures that Lewis's car stays as quick as it can be. Obviously Lewis is the most gifted talent of this generation which also helps. His tyre management, his race craft, his lack of mistakes; I can't see Max beating Lewis in a championship anytime soon ever though Max is in the fastest ca this yearr.
Grosjean was very quick in qualifying with that Lotus especially 2012-2013. Though his race pace was inconsistent compared to then teammate Raikkonen who would ninja his way to podiums and constant points finishes. In a way, it somehow draws parallels to Giovinazzi-Raikkonen at Alfa where GIO would match or beat him in quali but RAI would have better race results.
It is Hard to compare it with Schumacher. It is your opinion that Hamilton is the goat and mine is Schumacher. But we can be happy that we see two of the best in such a short time
i dont consider myself a fan of hamilton even though he is objectively the GOAT, but that singapore lap... man that lap is just incredible, my favorite quali lap ever in the history of the sport
Vettel didn't understand why Lewis so quick when he took the pole for Abu Dhabi 2009 and thought that he must have been fueled light. We later on found out that Lewis was the heaviest of the cars in that shootout
@@juanjosepinzon1683 The McLaren of the 2nd half of 2009 was a front runner car, on some tracks it even got a FRONT-ROW lock-out in qualifying. You likely didn't watch that season in full did you?
@@drake_office1220 you realize every all time great had a competition-destroying car? In Senna's era both Mclaren used to finish minutes ahead of even the third one classified. Really funny races huh? But yo Senna and Schumi were Gs lol
@@eliamanghera1715 You seem to forget that Senna got poles with Lotus also, which was 2nd at best car at that time and practically 3rd or 4th. Which was not the case with neither Hamilton nor Schumacher throughtout their carrers. Hamilton was practically nowhere during 2009-2013 era, Schumacher got literally destroyed by Hakkinen in pretty much equal machinery.
fast, consistent, fit, champion-mentality.. he deserved it all. Lewis Hamilton is truly one of the greatest. I'm lucky to see the days of Schumacher till Hamilton.
I’m almost certain the performance gap between Vettel’s RB in 2011 and Hamilton’s Mclaren at S.Korea was bigger than the gap between Vettel’s Ferrari and the merc in Singapore 2018. The fact that Vettel blew Lewis away on the Sunday would suggest that to be the case. I rate that Korea pole as one of his greatest.
I was there at the end of turn 1 for Singapore 2018, the whole stand went utterly silent, in shock - there were a lot of Aussie fans cheering for Ricciardo, their jaws dropped. It was just unbelievable, and I'm lucky to have witnessed that in real time. Everyone knew something special had happened
Don’t even need any narration for the Singapore pole lap, just put the onboard, that’s enough, it speaks for itself.....just a thing of beauty that lap
Learn about Sir Lewis through some British coworkers about 4 years ago, and being a fan since then. This guy definitely knows how to drive, and he deserve all the accolades within the sports. Thanks Sir Lewis!
agreed. We can argue all day about Mercedes cars or redbull, but Lewis just knows how to drive. You cant take that away from him. He was born to be an F1 driver.
It’s hard to believe that you sometimes forget how fast Hamilton is. You see the numbers but when you see it back and have time to think, it really does take you back.
Lewis is undoubtedly the Greatest F1 driver of all time, the stats don’t lie and neither does his talent, they all say it’s just the car but in 2008 when he won his first championship, Ferrari actually had the faster car, same in 2017 and 2018, even in 2019 he didn’t always have the best car but I mean obviously there is no doubt most of the time that season it was the best, it’s sad how much hate and racism he gets, disgusting honestly, people will realize how truly great he is when he retires and they will have to live with the fact they didn’t see his greatness when he was driving, that’s why I always appreciate the drivers while they are racing, I am Lewis #1 fan but I always appreciate Max’s talent and greatness, he will no doubt go down as one of the greats, anyways that’s all I gotta say
I know you are talking about Grosjean, but he was a quick driver and shown his potential that year, unfortunately when he went to Haas things did not work well for him and the team as well. It was a tragedy with Magnussen.
The one I would place above all others is the one at _Yeongam_ in 2011. Delivered during his absolute worst year in motorsport and against an _RB7_ that was nigh on untouchable in qualifying trim.
@@drake_office1220 Hmm, funny how Bottas was in the same car but qualified in 6th and on a track where the Red Bull always struggled due to their engine yet qualified 2nd and 3rd.
Yeah singapore 2018 pole was as Toto said: "magic dust" I saw it live and gave me chills... And whats not to like about thar season? Ferrari were battling against Mercedes but nothing can beat hamilton... He is Just on a league of his own... Congrats to him he deserves it. 👏

Well he is an 8 time world champ by now. They robbed the title he earned. That simply, in my heart and mind he is an 8 time world champ and this year he will try to go for his 9th world champ
Just look at his GP2 career, in equal cars he destroyed more experienced and better funded drifters as a rookie! The grid that season was far from uncompetitive too!
Lewis Hamilton is an Hero. So glad that I witness him growing from 2007 till the end of his character. Has soon I saw Lewis first race he add the wow factor and I been supporting him sense than.
Lewis Hamilton hater's, watch this..... And if you don't get it first time around, watch again. Then ask yourselves, who is better than him????? That's right...... No other driver...... He has nothing to prove anymore. Look how he put Max back in his place time after time.....
I remember being absolutely stunned and jaw-dropped when I saw Lewis's lap time jump to the top at Singapore 2018, I couldn't believe that lap was even possible and that Lewis actually set it
I knew this man is special since I've seen his first race for McLaren in 2007. He almost became World Champion in the first season! Just think about it. There is not a single driver that could have done the same! This man is the best F1 driver ever.
Nico was such a weird guy. He intentionally went off truck and brought out the yellow flags to prevent Hamilton from going quickest. I still remember this day.
Everyone who says its just the car can eat their words when he produces laps like he does when its wet, the guy is just on another level and love him or hate him he is undeniably one of the greatest to grace our sports, in a time when the field of drivers is arguably at its best too
This one is for ALL the people that "think" the W11 was the reason for LH44 total success. Also newbies, please note the names he beat throughout the years.
You know what, I watched a Documentary of how they treated Willie T when he tried racing in America. And I totally understand all they hate that directed at Lewis. Go on Baba, show dem no hate can stop your goals... They gonna talk, they gonna hate, you gonna still be paid. It must depressing to his haters, all he does is WIN WIN WIN!!!!!
'statistical master' He's just the master. I don't remember that phrase ever being used with Senna or MSC. Wonder why you feel the need to phrase it like that?
The fact that Mercedes has the best car with no competition since 2014 doesn't lie, with a wingman that will never attack him since 2017, Lewis only did his job correctly and is a great driver, but i doubt he'll even reach 50 poles if he went to Ferrari instead of Mercedes for example.
@@marcoar3109 That is definitely a factor. But how well would have Michael Schumacher have done if he wasn't with dominant Ferrari for all those years ? And how about the Senna / Prost Renault dominance ?
@@markedwards9247 If Michael didn't sign for Ferrari he would have 5 probably 4 or 5 championships, more than Lewis could've got if he didn't sign for Mercedes.

@@sefkabs6019 Pure Ferrari territory and they were P3 0,3s behind Verstappen? So what about Max? Ferrari had very bad updates.
@@Chuyew Max wasnt even racing in 2011 what are you going on about 😂😂
@@187Blondie mate I am confuse by these reply above us @_@ what they were talking about
@@asyamadit4267 yoooo! *how weird is* what they’re saying?? right?😂😂 they must think Vettel back then for Red Bull was Verstappen 😬🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lewis Hamilton hater's, watch this..... And if you don't get it first time around, watch again. Then ask yourselves, who is better than him????? That's right...... No other driver...... He has nothing to prove anymore. Look how he put Max back in his place time after time.....
Watching Lewis as 9 yr old in 2007 and now as 22 yr old in 2021 . I’m still in awe of what he’s able to do every week
Any one else remember when all the pundits said moving to Mercedes would end his career.
Including loudmouth Brundle! He said Lewis would never win another race again!🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@blackgirlsrock264 and now he’s calling him Sir Lewis Hamilton 😂😂 love it
Singapore 2018. The greatest there ever was.
I remember being absolutely stunned and jaw-dropped when I saw Lewis's lap time jump to the top at Singapore 2018, I couldn't believe that lap was even possible and that Lewis actually set it
I have seen many drivers over the years as an F1 fan but there's something special and unique about Lewis Hamilton. Respect greatness!
James Allen’s call for Lewis’ pole at Silverstone 2007 is amazing, gives me chills
Same I only watch this video because of him
@@Mohagnito94 facts
I knew this man is special since I've seen his first race for McLaren in 2007. He almost became World Champion in the first season! Just think about it. There is not a single driver that could have done the same! This man is the best F1 driver ever.
That too having the world champion Alonso as teammate.
@@nikmat exactly, that was just phenomenal from him 💯🙏
The McLaren was an illegal car and his management favoured him over his team mate. He had a 17 point advantage over Kimi and lost it.
@@As-qz5lr yeah sure... A rookie was favoured over a World champion. Stop hating
@@aliver8794 You clearly didn't watch the season or have any knowledge of F1
Lewis Hamilton should be in the Mt. Rushmore of sports greats with Ali, MJ, Brady, and Tiger
Would have been nice to have a full onboard of each of those laps.
that singapore 2018 pole lap was a thing of beauty
What a legend. Such great consistency.
Only the Shitcedes car
@@drake_office1220 cope
Nico was such a weird guy. He intentionally went off truck and brought out the yellow flags to prevent Hamilton from going quickest. I still remember this day.
A Schumacher trick.
How can anybody dislike Lewis? Unless you hate people that win
People will always hate whoever is dominating
I bet you
When Hamilton retires and other driver will dominate the sport
That *driver* will get hate
Kimi is faster, as long as he has the drincc..
Once Lewis leaves it will be so hard to keep watching f1 I literally grew up watching him
👍
Been a pleasure watching this bloke in F1 since 2007
In the age of the monotonous Red Bull dominance, I've come to appreciate Hamiltons greatness and consistency when looking back at it.
Do " top 10 driver's who almost lost the championship!" Plz!
F for Felipe
:(
Thankfully the call to go onto the inters in Brazil 2008 was the correct one
Everyone who says its just the car can eat their words when he produces laps like he does when its wet, the guy is just on another level and love him or hate him he is undeniably one of the greatest to grace our sports, in a time when the field of drivers is arguably at its best too
The best Formula One driver of all time. 100 poles. Well done, Sir Lewis.

This one is for ALL the people that "think" the W11 was the reason for LH44 total success.
Also newbies, please note the names he beat throughout the years.
Take a bow. He has more number of poles than half of the grid's race starts.
You know what, I watched a Documentary of how they treated Willie T when he tried racing in America. And I totally understand all they hate that directed at Lewis. Go on Baba, show dem no hate can stop your goals... They gonna talk, they gonna hate, you gonna still be paid. It must depressing to his haters, all he does is WIN WIN WIN!!!!!
That Singapore was insane! Faster than the simulations thought was possible.
'statistical master' He's just the master. I don't remember that phrase ever being used with Senna or MSC. Wonder why you feel the need to phrase it like that?
Because it’s accurate. Lewis got all his stats driving in the rocketship
@@As-qz5lr Your own phrase ‘rocket ship’?
Boring internet cliched drivel
@@aobrien2 it is literally the most dominant car in F1 history. That’s a fact. Not a cliche. Do you know anything about F1?
Slowly and surely Lewis is showing that he is surpassing every other great driver, into a league of his own. That stats don't lie.
Not even close to Senna and Schumacher
@@barackhusseinosama9189 Yeah the gap he has put to them is insanity!
The fact that Mercedes has the best car with no competition since 2014 doesn't lie, with a wingman that will never attack him since 2017, Lewis only did his job correctly and is a great driver, but i doubt he'll even reach 50 poles if he went to Ferrari instead of Mercedes for example.
@@marcoar3109 That is definitely a factor. But how well would have Michael Schumacher have done if he wasn't with dominant Ferrari for all those years ? And how about the Senna / Prost Renault dominance ?
@@markedwards9247 If Michael didn't sign for Ferrari he would have 5 probably 4 or 5 championships, more than Lewis could've got if he didn't sign for Mercedes.
In my opinion, lewis Hamilton is the greatest ever sportsman from Britain. He is the top 5 sports people of all time.
I'm a Ferrari fan and I'll neve forget that Singapore pole , the time had my jaw to the floor
2020 Styrian, SPA, + Monza are modern classics too
The best ever! Even when he doesn’t have the best car! People tend to forget that. The GOAT
and the coolest he's black remember that
They prepared it and are finally happy to release all vids related to Lewis
As a kid....Doubting Lewis Hamilton becoming a world champion was biggest mistakes i ever make
Legend forever 44 💜️🖤
There is a rule here. If a racer doesn't show any brilliance on his rookie year, there is small, and tiniwini chance of ever turning out great.
Levis Hamilton Super 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The purple helmet makes him go faster
The goat, will only ever be truly appreciated when he retires.
sadly true
I got here so early Hamilton wasn’t even in GP2
HAM wasn’t in McLaren in 2015.
@@hammadurb 😭
I hope after seeing this video no one will ever call versappen the rain master again
Lance Stroll says hi
All his poles were in the fastest car. In 2021 he was behind Max and Russell in Spa when Russell was in a fricking Williams
Haven't watched the whole video but Singapore 2018 has to be up there (just watched it knew it would be number 1)
