“Nobody in Hamilton’s family was suppose to be a race car driver.” I don’t think people really understand the near impossible odds of that. Trying to compete in the richest sport on the planet with no money. He HAD TO BE BETTER THAN GOOD.
That’s true to an extent . I mean his clear ability got him through a very successful karting career, which although super expensive for most , it is doable in a way that the junior formulae are not . Thing is , his parents didn’t have to fund the junior formulae . McLaren did that . The odds of Hamilton becoming an F1 Driver were low , very true but the fact is, Ocon’s family had less . Hamilton is a very good driver but he’s benefitted massively from the Mercedes dominance and of the last three team mates , he’s only dominated one . He gets the very most out of the best equipment, which is an accolade in itself but rarely has he won when his car isn’t the best on the grid . Most of the other “greats” have had times when their cars were not the fastest and won , he virtually never does that Even in ‘21 , there were only 2 races between himself and Verstappen where the race went to the slower car on the day (I won’t include AD ) and both went Verstappen. Every time we saw the two of them in equal cars , Hamilton looks like the poor relation . Look at Brazil that year , with Mercedes taking engine penalties all over the place , whilst not breaking rules was not exactly in the spirit of them . Hamilton turned up there in an unbelievably fast car and people said what a great job blah blah but as Horner said , Hamilton driving that rocket ship took nearly the whole race to pass Verstappen . In contrast you have Brazil ‘24 . 3rd of 4th fastest car on the grid , P17 and butchered the field completely . So yeah in summary Hamilton is a great driver but he’s not the best on the grid and hasn’t been for a long while
He had to be the best to be considered. Imagine Ron Dennis made it clear, he had to win every year to be considered. Those were the pressures he had to deal with including Grid racism. Thanks man.
@@felix1974 Yeh. Thanks for preaching. You gonna start talking about the racism and the clear stealing and the many things F1 had to take him through? Gt the fuck outa here. Against all odds he became one of the best to ever touch the wheel.
You know Hamilton is geeat when people are looking for a reason to hate on his greatness! I like ur closing argument a lot! Throw away statics, and he is still on top.
No matter what people said, 7 titles is not just the car. because if it is, then Valtteri would have a couple titles too. "Oh but what about the team order." Lewis earned those team order fair and square. when your team knows you have the best chance to win the race, they wont let your teammate hold you back because your win is team win as well, and Lewis' race pace was just so good that not giving Bottas team order means that it will cost Lewis A LOT of time just to battle Valtteri.
Lewis is a phenomenon of racing, from the start at age 6, he beat everyone with a radio controlled car in a uk show Blue Peter. His talent is insane and he was born with it 👌💜
@@jakobpedersen8475 the reason f1 goes racing is to find out who the best driver is. they try to eleminate bias by racing on different circuit layouts in different climatic conditions in different countries, awarding points along the way. they use the most accurate timing sysytems to eliminate error and enhance precision. at the end of each race, the winning driver is celebrated on the top step of the podium with their national flag and anthem. the driver with the most at the end of the season is declared champion. sir lewis hamilton has won it more times than anyone could imagine before he did it. he competed for the championship in his first season unlike others who learn how to drive in their rookie seasons. how do you measure talent and longevity? everything demonstrated my sir lewis hamilton is measurable. 105 race wins and pole positions, measured. 7 championships measured. won races and championships with each team he raced because he is better than anyone before him and after him. sir lewis hamilton had 3 f1 champions as his teammates. verstappen is a very good driver but no where near as good as sir lewis hamilton. his 4 championships are thanks to redbull cheating engineering. did he win any championships toro rosso or have any teammates who were f1 champions? the gap is simply too large to consider.
It’s not a question of Hamilton winning at Ferrari, the question is will Leclerc rise like Nico Rosberg to take Hamilton to the limit in the drivers championship, because the stress and mental demand to win under those conditions is daunting, and Leclerc may not be up to it, Rosberg retired after winning the championship over Hamilton.
@ I know, but he gave everything and more, and that was so stressful and mentally demanding that he could not go through it again. If Leclerc wants to win the championship, he’s going to have to step up and give more, just being a good driver isn’t enough!
TO OLD for Lecler and i think you forget Lecler dont need to Rice he is already top 3 driver in Formel 1 today!!If Lewis had go there 5-4years early !!Now he is to old and had won everything Lecler TOO FAST TOO YOUNG TOO HUNGRY!!So if FERRARI build the best Car then Lecler is Favorit BUT zhey need by far the fastest car or MAX WILL WIN AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN
I’m sorry. He is the greatest of all time. I’m tired of pretending he isn’t. Throughout his entire career he’s been competitive and his rookie years were genuinely the best there’s ever been. He beat Alonso in his rookie season ffs 😂
If you want to know the difference between what makes a driver great, talent or the car. Norris had the best car on Grid and still managed to fumbled the championship so to me, talent (and the team behind it to certain extent) goes a long way to making the car exceptional.
Hamilton is the greatest driver of his era, it’s because of him F1 is still interesting! After him who have we got Max and George!!! Arguing like girls!!!
Max eclipsing all records and is only 26, with 4 wdc's, 7 years younger than Lewis. 2 in a slower car compared to 1 for Lewis. Haven't watched since 2020?
@ 2024 proved Max is only as good as the car 😂😂😂 if they didn’t have the a dominant car first races of the season Lando would’ve been champion never mind comparing him to Lewis, looks like you watch something else not F1
@@mafm4724after Miami the points gap was 69. At the end of the season it’s 63. Norris gained only 6(!) points in objectively the faster car after Miami. Not sure what you’re on but downplaying that performance by Verstappen and his team is kind of silly…
@ clinching a championship in a slower car without making it even a remotely close championship battle… Systematically beating Norris or minimizing point loss by becoming second vs a rocketship. You may not like the dude but this season was impressive. I guess you just like to hate on guys you don’t support. Otherwise you wouldn’t bring up other drivers on a video that glazes Hamilton. And yes, I like Hamilton.
hamilton IS the greatest driver of all time but i feel like you also gave him too much credit, now that he’s in the twilight of his career. it feels like his mistakes/flaws weren’t acknowledged and you were just saying everything i wanted to hear as a LH fan? beautiful video though, he really is a spectacular driver
Lewis Hamilton is great. End of. Whether you think he is the no.1 ever and the goat, or whether you think other drivers are better than him. Lewis is objectively a good driver.
Typical comments of haters will always say it's the car. Surely that is part of it. But people need to understand. He is the only person in the car. So number one is the fact that his ability to sense almost anything that is not acceptable in or on the car and pass the correct feedback and analysis to the engineers is one. The ability to adapt to whatever circumstances he encounters. On top of that, to drive a very fast car at or beyond its limits. People think driving a very fast car is easy. Or if you think you have the fastest car then it is game over. Think again.
Hamilton did not get a pole position on 2022 nor 2024. Also, Hamilton was also beaten by Jenson Button in their first season together as teammates as well as George Russell in their first as well as third seasons together. Please get your facts straight.
No, @frankh4391 , he was at his best when the McLaren was far from a top tier car. Winning races - on merit - when it wasn't a real contender. Just like last year, when the Mercedes wasn't even close, he still managed to get it right. I do acknowledge that he wouldn't have won Spa had Russell not been disqualified. He may also have won Las Vegas had he not messed up qualifying.
If not for Lewis Hamilton I am not interested in Formula 1. Especially after Abu Dhabi 2021. he is the most exciting driver to have ever been in the sport and that is why he hired by Ron Dennis to bring back F1 to the top of auto racing.
Old data, excludes 2024, no poles and %wins dropped. Hamilton was great up till 2021. As for history, 1 of the greatest all time. He is no longer the dominant force.
People HATE on Lewis in a way I genuinely don’t see any other driver get hated on. Let’s not play dumb, a lot of it is racism and an aversion to his ‘politics’. I’ve seen people say they don’t like how he brings politics into sport and I’m just like… ignore it? He really doesn’t bring it up that much. The most loud thing he ever did was wear a shirt with a police brutality victims name on it, and if that makes you dislike him I think the issue might be you… Also politics is in sports, and everything. Life isn’t a collection of vacuum chambers, deal with it. Anyway, aside from the racists and the anti ‘woke’ warriors, I think it’s mostly just people being contrarians. Pretty much every dominant driver has had shit slung at them, and they’re usually appreciated once they retire or get phased out by the new gen. Anyway, just generally if you hate someone you’ve never met, and who isn’t really a bad person, then YOU are the problem. If you seek to discredit someone else, you need to get a life of your own.
You repeated a few things, but possibly the single greatest stat is that the Man nearly won it in HIS ROOKIE SEASON against Fernando Alonso, who was Hot off of Winning Two World Championships 🤯 Nuff said right there, drop the mic 🎤
You only have to look at the numbers, he’s had 10 fastest cars, and only failed to win the title in 4 of them. And he’s had 6 teammates and only 3 of them have beaten him.
I will also add this... I have had some doubts regarding Hamilton because of the 2022 and 2024 seasons... The car was a disaster in both of them, but Russell definitely was able to get the best out of it in both. I hope that these doubts are wrong. Let see how well he performs against LeClerc and with Ferrari... If he takes his 8th this year with Ferrari, any doubt will be eliminated.
Great video. Just one small correction. You mentioned Lewis spends countless hours in simulators. This isn't correct. Lewis notoriously doesn't like using simulators (he even said back in 2021 that he basically uses the simulators like 20 laps a year). But he recognizes their value, hence why he was super thankful for Mick Schumacher's work in the simulator to help improve the car from practices to quali/race (even though at some point this went backwards). Which is why he's going to use it quite a lot at Ferrari to adapt to it faster
Consider this, Liam lawson not only goes toe to toe with Verstappen and wins and finishes ahead of him in champions rankings... narrowly losing championship to norris by 1 point because he had a fast car. That's what happened
He did pretty much destroy him simply because when Lewis joined he was already a 2x champion and basically beat him every season only losing the first by 1 point to kimi
People don't realize the advantage Mercedes has when they switched to v6 hybrid it was astronomical . Is he great yes , the goat no . Senna and Shu still far ahead.
@@daphnelovesL when since budget is a factor???? Awee since Ham....You nonsense of moving the goal post for some people is blatantly obvious. No one ever talk about budget in goat argument.....Ham is the Goat for all kind of reason....He sit on top of many statistics including the most consistent driver the sport has ever seen.....Take off your racial visor and learn to celebrate your fellowman objectively reasonably and honestly.
@@fdmtearn9784 He's the only driver who was part of a team that could outspend their entire competition by more than a hundred million dollars a year. Whatever problems Mercedes had before 2021, they would just throw an absurd amount of money at them to fix them. Once the budget cap was introduced, they've been nowhere. And he isn't the most consistent driver either, he doesn't have the highest win percentage, highest pole percentage or highest podium percentage in a season. After 10 years of dominant cars, his longest win streak was 5 while drivers like Vettel or Verstappen had 9 or 10 in a row. But obviously he does hold the record for most wins.
Then we have Max. these drivers are something else, but I wish we could have them in the same cars to see who comes out on top. Because I believe that Hamilton could dominate as well if he had that RB.
2 วันที่ผ่านมา
He makes the top ten of all drivers maybe around 8th
As much as I like see all the other young drivers like Leclerc or Norris to win a championship, I just wan't one more season of Max vs Lewis fighting until the end and Lewis coming out on top. Seeing him becoming Ferrari Jesus and earning the ultimate goat status that nobody can ever take away from him. 😅 Which is probably unlikely with a lot of the teams beeing so good.
If Hamilton was a blonde guy doing all these, he would be crowned without any doubts as the greatest ever. I remembered when Steffi Graf retired from Tennis with 22 GS wins, she was crowned as the greatest ever, no one mentioned Court as a 24 combined title holder. When Serena surpassed Graf with 23 GS, they started talking about Maria Court with 24 combined Titles. There is a different standard to hold non whites to. Max who used the Escalator to get to the top is celebrated, when his wins are attributed to cheating, overspending, illegal parts. They're on record but the authorities will rather let it stay than upset the establishment. Any wonder Max hasn't been able to market F1 since becoming a manufacturer product.
He had to be greater than the greats, he came from a working class family with no history or motorsports. Such an expensive sport, he had to worker than the other drivers. The colour of his skin I’m sure didn’t help at times. He had to battle all this physically and mentally.
but a much better merc car than everyone else, nothing could compete with merc for years. made racing really boring, it was a case of which merc would win.
Thank you for this. Your deliberately provocative video title almost made me not watch because I just thought, 'here we go again; another armchair expert crapping all over Lewis'. I've never been more happy to be wrong. Yes, Lewis is THE GOAT, and he has been from jump. His statistics tell the tale, and as you point out, even more significantly, when the likes of Alonso, Rosberg, Vettel and, yes, Max sing his praises, then tells you everything you need to know. And he has done it all with grace, a smile, fair driving and no on-track antics like how Michael used to resort to on occasion. This is what gives Lewis the edge over Schumi, in my book. They may both have the same number of titles but Lewis is THE GOAT for me. On his worst day, and at age 40, Lewis is still, for me, the best driver on the grid, bar none, with due respect to Max, Charles and Lando, all of whom I rate pretty highly, and even Ferando, who is still driving very well despite having to pilot a tractor these last few years. Still He Rises.
Oh bohoo go and cry me a river stuipd max Verstappen fanboy lewis is and will always be the goat of f1 i mean tell me tell me truly what records has Verstappen broken that haven.t already been broken by lewis
Top tier driver, but that Merc era handed him a lot of wins/championships that several others would have gotten. A couple issues, Rosberg beat him in 2016, Button beat him in 2011, Russell beat him in 2024, and Alonso tied him in 2007. GOATs NEVER get beaten. So that rules out Schumacher (beaten by Rosberg), Vettel (beaten by Ricciardo and LeClerc), and Alonso (tied with rookie Hamilton). Senna was beaten by Prost in 1989. Prost was beaten by Lauda in 1984. Lauda then got beat by Prost in 1985. Two drivers that were never beaten were Jim Clark and Juan Fangio. So, in my world, they are 1 and 2.
Good points. You can never really judge drivers of different generations. Lewis was the best of the 2010’s according to the statistics and that’s all we can really say. He struggled 2009 to 2013 and again from 2022 to present. All of the world champions are legends of the sport as just getting to F1 is near on impossible unless you have pockets deep aka Lance Stroll, but even he had to earn his super licence to race in F1. To win a race is unbelievable, to win championships is a most rare and incredible feat. Let’s not deride or discredit Champions, let’s celebrate all of there great achievements. No one will ever know if Senna could be Hamilton or Verstappen could beat Jim Clark. Let’s recognise they are all great in their own right.
“Nobody in Hamilton’s family was suppose to be a race car driver.” I don’t think people really understand the near impossible odds of that. Trying to compete in the richest sport on the planet with no money. He HAD TO BE BETTER THAN GOOD.

@@mendax_9117yeah that’s what happened but wouldn’t say that fits within the context of demolished.
He did pretty much destroy him simply because when Lewis joined he was already a 2x champion and basically beat him every season only losing the first by 1 point to kimi
As a Rookie he shouldn’t have been able to do that to a 2time world champion in Alonzo fresh of dethroning Micheal Schumacher
According to F1 specialists, Lewis is slowing down 😢
no other driver ever had title winning or contender titles for 95% of their career...
Truth ❤❤❤.
Well he just doesn’t have more poles than senna and Schumacher combined
People don't realize the advantage Mercedes has when they switched to v6 hybrid it was astronomical . Is he great yes , the goat no . Senna and Shu still far ahead.
8 Chips beats 7 Just ask Massi!
And had the biggest budget
He'll never be the greatest will he...wrong skin pigment!!
@@daphnelovesL when since budget is a factor???? Awee since Ham....You nonsense of moving the goal post for some people is blatantly obvious. No one ever talk about budget in goat argument.....Ham is the Goat for all kind of reason....He sit on top of many statistics including the most consistent driver the sport has ever seen.....Take off your racial visor and learn to celebrate your fellowman objectively reasonably and honestly.
@@fdmtearn9784 He's the only driver who was part of a team that could outspend their entire competition by more than a hundred million dollars a year. Whatever problems Mercedes had before 2021, they would just throw an absurd amount of money at them to fix them. Once the budget cap was introduced, they've been nowhere.
And he isn't the most consistent driver either, he doesn't have the highest win percentage, highest pole percentage or highest podium percentage in a season. After 10 years of dominant cars, his longest win streak was 5 while drivers like Vettel or Verstappen had 9 or 10 in a row. But obviously he does hold the record for most wins.
Then we have Max. these drivers are something else, but I wish we could have them in the same cars to see who comes out on top. Because I believe that Hamilton could dominate as well if he had that RB.
He makes the top ten of all drivers maybe around 8th
How Good Is Lewis Hamilton Actually? 7 world championships should give you a good idea!
8th time world champion....only stinking dutty boycot could stop that man....dirtiest F1 season ever....simply the best LH 🙂
he drove part of the last lap on 3 tyres man, like, come on. not "HALF THE RACE".
As much as I like see all the other young drivers like Leclerc or Norris to win a championship, I just wan't one more season of Max vs Lewis fighting until the end and Lewis coming out on top.
Seeing him becoming Ferrari Jesus and earning the ultimate goat status that nobody can ever take away from him. 😅
Which is probably unlikely with a lot of the teams beeing so good.
yes it's not so easy to win when other teams can compete. Merc made it far to easy
If Hamilton was a blonde guy doing all these, he would be crowned without any doubts as the greatest ever.
I remembered when Steffi Graf retired from Tennis with 22 GS wins, she was crowned as the greatest ever, no one mentioned Court as a 24 combined title holder.
When Serena surpassed Graf with 23 GS, they started talking about Maria Court with 24 combined Titles. There is a different standard to hold non whites to.
Max who used the Escalator to get to the top is celebrated, when his wins are attributed to cheating, overspending, illegal parts. They're on record but the authorities will rather let it stay than upset the establishment.
Any wonder Max hasn't been able to market F1 since becoming a manufacturer product.
even though Hamilton was not a "blonde" guy, he had the best seat on the grid for years, merc was just unbeatable
Hamilton is the GOAT of F1, but you told lies in this video. Just to name 1, what you said about Brazil 2021 is false
He had to be greater than the greats, he came from a working class family with no history or motorsports. Such an expensive sport, he had to worker than the other drivers. The colour of his skin I’m sure didn’t help at times. He had to battle all this physically and mentally.
His a different breed, a standalone, the first, an inspirational figure. 1/1, the all time great Hamilton, more than just a driver.
most race wins, in a merc that was almost unbeatable...... does a world championship, when you only racing against your team mate count?????
Yeah Lewis is great but he didn't drive half a race on 3 tires it was half a lap
Senna number 1
Hamilton does not use a simulator so no countless hours in a simulator he will only start using it now at ferrari
He IS the greatest driver up to today. ❤❤❤ I hope he can overcome the dead weight of the Ferrari chaos, mismanagement and foolish blunders.
FACTZ
Bro, get your facts straight.
So many wrong dates and facts.
💜🖤❤❤
Compare team mates to verstappen, he's had much tougher ones 💥🥊
but a much better merc car than everyone else, nothing could compete with merc for years. made racing really boring, it was a case of which merc would win.
He did miss a race due to covid
Thank you for this. Your deliberately provocative video title almost made me not watch because I just thought, 'here we go again; another armchair expert crapping all over Lewis'. I've never been more happy to be wrong. Yes, Lewis is THE GOAT, and he has been from jump. His statistics tell the tale, and as you point out, even more significantly, when the likes of Alonso, Rosberg, Vettel and, yes, Max sing his praises, then tells you everything you need to know. And he has done it all with grace, a smile, fair driving and no on-track antics like how Michael used to resort to on occasion. This is what gives Lewis the edge over Schumi, in my book. They may both have the same number of titles but Lewis is THE GOAT for me. On his worst day, and at age 40, Lewis is still, for me, the best driver on the grid, bar none, with due respect to Max, Charles and Lando, all of whom I rate pretty highly, and even Ferando, who is still driving very well despite having to pilot a tractor these last few years. Still He Rises.
Thanks for watching
Is Micheal overrated? If not stop with this bull💩 have you made a video asking this question about Micheal? If not making or your just a troll
Lance Stroll is better.
Oh bohoo go and cry me a river stuipd max Verstappen fanboy lewis is and will always be the goat of f1 i mean tell me tell me truly what records has Verstappen broken that haven.t already been broken by lewis
Wow
he lost a race due to covid
useless video title..
You're overrated, folks are finding this out, and removing themselves from you, think about that ❤❤❤.
Folks like who ?
@JDeadwyler Not Lewis, for sure 😊
More Hamilton glazing...Great.
More to come!
Top tier driver, but that Merc era handed him a lot of wins/championships that several others would have gotten. A couple issues, Rosberg beat him in 2016, Button beat him in 2011, Russell beat him in 2024, and Alonso tied him in 2007. GOATs NEVER get beaten. So that rules out Schumacher (beaten by Rosberg), Vettel (beaten by Ricciardo and LeClerc), and Alonso (tied with rookie Hamilton). Senna was beaten by Prost in 1989. Prost was beaten by Lauda in 1984. Lauda then got beat by Prost in 1985. Two drivers that were never beaten were Jim Clark and Juan Fangio. So, in my world, they are 1 and 2.
THIS IS NOT THE TRUE DEFINITION OF GOAT CAN'T BE BEATEN
That’s the stupidest shit ever typed lmao.
Go check your brain mate
Good points. You can never really judge drivers of different generations. Lewis was the best of the 2010’s according to the statistics and that’s all we can really say. He struggled 2009 to 2013 and again from 2022 to present. All of the world champions are legends of the sport as just getting to F1 is near on impossible unless you have pockets deep aka Lance Stroll, but even he had to earn his super licence to race in F1. To win a race is unbelievable, to win championships is a most rare and incredible feat. Let’s not deride or discredit Champions, let’s celebrate all of there great achievements. No one will ever know if Senna could be Hamilton or Verstappen could beat Jim Clark. Let’s recognise they are all great in their own right.
Men Lie, Women Lie. Numbers don’t.
The Greatest to ever do it Sir Lewis Hamilton
. 44 𓃵
GOAT
