Was Hamilton's move about fairness or team image?
It was fair he is not like verstappen in brazil 2022
Fairness, also it just means bottas also kinda owes him
It was very noble, especially he was in a title battle with vettel most the season
@@huzaifakhan17what has verstappen to do with this?
I think both
Verstappen: Wait, you can treat your teammate like a human being?
Yeh after he slaved around for the team and hamilton for years. Copy james.. dont race lewis.. dont go for the fastest lap.. block seb..
Bottas, I felt like i had a knife to my throat.
Nice way to treat the teammate 👍🏼
@@baker1352 That was Bottas's first year at Mercedes man, and they had agreed to let Lewis past to see if he could catch Vettel because they were fighting for the championship, when Hamilton couldn't catch him he let Bottas back into his place, Bottas hadn't spent years being slaved around in Mercedes because he wasn't there
@@mauriciopimentel6451 2021 was Bottas’s first year?
@@adamischaos6121 No, his first year at Mercedes was 2017
@@baker1352oh zip it
I’d say 90% of the time Mercedes calls were justified since Hamilton either needed the points for the championship or was approaching at seconds quicker a lap than Bottas.
And in this case Hamilton needed the points even more since he was behind Vettel in the Championship + he gave up on a podium
Whereas verstappen had already won, it was no podium and no other driver pushing from behind and Perez needing the points for P2…
Bottas was a humble human
How
Was? Did he died?

Nah, you are just nostalgic. Those care are HORRIBLE
I miss the relationship between Bottas and Hamilton.
Bottas is an incredibly overlooked/underrated driver.
It would have been different if Bottas was a championship contender in that Merc like Rosberg.
@PBEcotaku he followed team orders that's what mercedes wanted, bottas obliged
Lewis and Valterri are just amazing in everything, such impeccable character
These were real teammates... The strategies were always well performed and Lewis being a good sportsman (as well as bottas) have the position back as promised... Lovely racing...
Proper sportsmanship.
Just like Max

Lewis and Valtteri together were a different blood man
Bottas hamilton such a iconic duo...pure gentleman and class
MIND YOU Lewis was trailing behind Vettel in the WDC. Everyone was having esoteric debate on whether Lewis was going to regret in the latter of the reason
These are the moments I show to people anytime they say Lewis is a bad teammate. If Lewis thinks your a worthy teammate he’ll show you the respect
as he did in Sochi the following year?
@@NeonColored this video is about honoring his words. He said he'll give it back and he gave it back

Respect to the whole team for trying this strategy with the same objective. Superb team work example here. A lot of respect to them.
I remember this race very well. It was the team spirit that really shone that day and I’m still so proud of this team for that. Love it!
Even Niki didn’t approve of Lewis giving back the position to Bottas, because he said he was afraid that Lewis could need those points at the end of the championship. Well Lewis was raised by parents who has honor and dignity.
Well said!
That's strong hahahaah
Lol he did that to not cause problems
And kleenex.
Are you trying to imply Niki Lauda doesn’t have honour and dignity?

Knights in battle.
Max could never
What’s most crazy about this is, Lewis was in the middle of his career and he was in a championship season. Not many would give it back especially with max a couple car lengths behind
He was also behind in the championship to Vettel.
Meanwhile verstappen not giving up a p6 to checo when miles clear of the championship
Verstappen already won the championship two races back and he is P6 at this race. He is so petty with only a few points that he don't need while Checo needed every points to get P2 in the championship.
Lewis understands that giving the spot back reflects great on him too. If there is something lewis is very aware of while driving its the publics reception.. he could be more aware of other cars in racing situations though. 😂
Max is a racer not a social media guru.. and apparent from that checo situation max made it clear to the team that he will never give up a position. (either still mad at checo for his monaco dirty play or principally)
@@dco1019 Whether it's for publicity or not is beside the point. He's simply demonstrating the qualities of a respectful individual. This action reflects his respect for Bottas as well. He informed the team that he would relinquish the position if he couldn't pass Raikkonen, and he followed through on his commitment. It's a testament to his integrity and reliability.
Max is childish, he is only aware of himself. And that's all there is to it really 😂.
@@WarayF1 ok, but 1, there also wasnt any discussion like this prior to max taking the position. if they really wanted those points to be checo's then GP made a bit of an oopsie not conveying this to max...and 2) max held a grudge vs checo for robbing him of the win in monaco. lewis doesnt have a grudge vs bottas why would he? thats his right hand man wouldnt even dare to challenge him. Perez is a much more combative and ambitious driver.
@@dco1019Checo did nothing wrong in Monaco though. Max's hurt feelings or whatever Max _thinks_ Checo did won't change that fact.
This is what a true team mate dose
That's right
Just like how he slowed Nico down in Abu Dhabi 2016 to make Vettel and Verstappen close up to him
Excellent team mate
Back in the days when drivers were teammates and F1 was worth watching!
Drivers are still teammates now, just not in Red Bull
huh why is f1 not worth watching now grandpa?
@@idawg wow I am a grandpa! How’d you know?
It's sad but it true. Don't really watch anymore. Nothing to watch really. Max wins miles ahead of rest of field.
Am I going crazy or smth, this was only 6 years ago, hardly back in the day lol
Hard to compare raw talent across generations when debating the goat, but 4 major things stand in lewis’s favour for claim to that title. 1 - statistics, they dont lie. 2 - the duration of his time at the top, matched only by schumacher, 3 - the calibre of his opponents, matched only by prost, 4 - his sense of honour and stature as a good role model
What about the fact that Lewis was getting far more points per race, and was more likely to get points in a race compared to previous greats. Or the fact that Hamiltons first championship title is currently in dispute by Felipe Massa and a potential role Hamilton had in deciding crashgate. What about his implication in spygate and the way it affected the season.
All the things you’ve claimed in Hamiltons favour can be disputed one way or another, thats why he isn’t recognised as the best ever.
@@ISAF_Ace i’ll address each point you made
1 - the points system has changed drastically over the years, that metric statistically isnt one used to compare greats because of the gulf in the scoring system across generations.
2- lewis had absolutely no role in ‘crash gate’, you yourself have been the sole person to make that up here and now so that argument has absolutely no foundation. The renault team conjured that, and it was ferrari who made the mistake in the pitstop in singapore, you cannot predict the course the championship would take would that not have happened so you cant declare massa champion, even felipe isnt going for the title or trying to attack lewis, Felipe considers lewis an ally and asked for his support, he just wants financial reparations from the fia for not acting quicker
3- lewis had absolutely nothing to do with spy gate, nor did he gain from it, the fiasco arguably cost both lewis and fernando the title, along with their intra team rivalry, because it was a distraction on the team and they began to perform worse
These arguments are weak, very very weak.
@@lukerichards4135 Lewis definitely benefited from Spygate, given that he was driving an illegal car made using stolen data.
McLaren's titlefights in 2007 and 2008 were strongly influenced by them having confidential data from Ferrari. Yet the FIA simply chose to let them fight for the drivers title in 07 because they liked the title fight for the spectacle, rather than handing Kimi the victory he deserved given his competitors were in illegal cars.
@@doghat1619 that is factually untrue, the stolen data was taken after the 07 season had begun and was barely implemented into the McLaren set up. The factual events were 1 mclaren and 1 ferrari engineer stealing data from both teams to wager with a 3rd team which was never revealed. There was very little impact on the performance of the McLarens and the engineers involved were banned, this did not reach far into the mclaren set up hence why Ron Dennis wasnt banned (unlike say Briatorie who was for his role in crash gate).
Im bored of uninformed people bending the facts of history to fit their own narratives that suit their biases
@ISAF_Ace you talk pure nonsense, do you know the politics of f1?. Obviously not ya fool.. just another hater,, I really do feel for people like you....#44..#LH.. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆
valterri and lewis were always a great combo, max and checo never have felt like that 1-2 punch even before the big debacle. definitely my favourite pairing of all time.
Schumacher and Max wouldn't have done that . Have to rate Lewis for this .
Schumacher did it to barrichello in Indianapolis 2002.
Dts fan what are you talking about.

Max didn't let Checo through because Checo ruined Max's quali in Monaco by purposely crashing
@@airbusguy3638 thats bullshit, and even if thats true it had no effect on max to give up the place. he already won the title 2 races before hes just petty as fuck
@@riceprt1484 Well that was his reason. And he knew it wouldn't help Checo in the championship. Checo needed to finish ahead of Charles in Abu Dhabi anyways
Its proves that people never change i.e. Max
@@airbusguy3638Why was P6 so important to Max
Max: You know my reasons 😂😂😂😂
Team orders work both ways, and Lewis understood that.
It’s about winning in the right way
Lewis' father raised a gentleman! well done Mr. Hamilton sr!
That Hamilton is that special extra stuff man ever since 2007 and even now in 24 hes still better then the rest because hes the best!
max may be leading the championship this year but he is NOT the best driver in the field.. the best driver is Lewis and you can argue that but you will not change my mind. because when it boils down to pure skill? Lewis is currently unmatched, Alonso would be the second "most skilled" driver in F1 right now.
Best duo ever in the históry of F1.
valteri is such a dream team mate
True sportsmanship is rare and never lasts long
I normally also don't like lewis to much but that was a move nicer than anything verstappen has ever done
You have no reason not to like him! THERE'S NO LOGICAL ANSWER YOU CAN GIVE AT ALL!!! You can only say, "I DON'T LIKE HIM," aloud, while secretly it all boils down to ETHNICITY!

Teamwork makes the dreamwork
Something Max would never do.

Lewis is a great pilot . He likes to be the best and works for it . I’m sure he’s going to get back and get his 8th championship.
Max would never 😂😂dude would be crying nonstop
Max would have passed his teammate without asking
@@GregGjpbrazil 22
He did this when he was behind in the championship, true sportsmanship
He's not only got the most wins, He's got the most class too. That's why he's the GOAT
For added context, Hamilton was locked in a tight championship battle with Vettel, I believe they were tied on points entering this round of the championship. The fact that he gave back the position to Valteri showed everything there was to show about how Mercedes allowed both their drivers to be on equal footing while both had a realistic shot at the championship. In sharp contrast to Red Bull (and previously Ferrari) treats its drivers.
When Lewis had a real teammate
Lewis and Bottas 🥹🥹❤
Lewis and Valteri team was perfect.
Here we have a driver who was fighting every point for the world championship returning the position back to his teammate while there is another driver in recent times refusing to let his teammate past despite already secured his world championship while his teammate was fighting for second
Love you, Lewis you are a gentleman
These were the good old days
This is why I fell in love with Mercedes. Bottas was a great driver but Lewis is a teammate and sports man…
Max and Seb could never 🤣
Teamwork makes the dream work ❤
He is a gentleman..
This was so much respect from Lewis. He was in a championship fight with Vettel (which later would collapse in the coming races but Lewis didn't know that), and he clearly did have more pace than Bottas, as before he left him back past he was like 10 seconds up the road.
Wish the duo could be paired again.
You can't teach quality! That's why he is Sir Lewis Hamilton 🙏🏾
Props for the cameramen who made this excellent shots. Very good ❤
Tht is honest legend, tht is wht i call respect
this was the strongest duo during their run.
Classy yet they talk about this man like he ain't shit!
that's why Hamilton is THE MAN. Respect 🫡
I mean lewis and bottas where the best. He even thank him after
How I wish I could go back to 2017
I respect him for doing that and letting his teammate take some victory 💯💯💯
Greatest duo
Reminds me of when Schumacher gifted Barrichello the win in Indianapolis In 2002 after barrichello was forced to give Michael the win in Austria, earlier in the season.
That was entirely accidental even Schumi said so at an interview
@@fr3088 he still lifted off the throttle to try to go equal over the line. He could’ve just easily won otherwise.
@@Jamo_7811 absolutely, they wanted a Foto finish like people used to do in the 60s but there was no intent to let Rubens win.

Faith in Lewis solidified
Verstapen: "wait, you can actually listen to your team orders and treat you teammates with even the slightest bit of respect?"
My respect to Hamilton
Peoples champion, Lewis.
I miss these cars.
Bottas should have probably had two more of those "inversions". But also, I'm not sure Valtteri fought as hard as he should have sometimes.
I've always felt that if Valterri's racecraft was as good as his qualifying pace (never missed Q3 in five years at Merc) he would be world class. It's just such a key part he's lacking.
Lewis is the 🐐 imo
When teammates compete it’s more exciting like Nico vs Hamilton. Being nice to each other just makes that one team more dominant, way ahead of the points and nobody competing for top points.
Speaks alot about Lewis' character
GOAT
