- My 1000 Subscriber Special. Thank you all for helping me hit this milestone. In qualifying for the 2020 Belgian Grand Prix, Hamilton took pole by over 5 tenths of a second from Bottas. His ability to maximise the potential of his car has remained prominent for years. But there are still people out there who only think he wins just because he drives a Mercedes Benz and diminish his achievements to 'always having a good car'. In this video, I will debunk this argument and prove Lewis Hamilton is more than just the car.

Loved this. Your channel just came up in my recommendations and after two videos I've subscribed haha.
Personally, I've been supporting Lewis since I was ten years old (in 2008), but in recent years at least (moreso than when I was too young to do so lol), I've tried my absolute hardest to stay objective about just how great he is. It was pretty clear from the way he matched Fernando Alonso on points (109 each), wins (4 each) and podiums (12 each), and beat him on poles (6-2) as well as finishing higher in the championship due to more second place finishes (5-4), before winning the 2008 Championship by 1 point despite Ferrari winning the Constructors' by 21 points, that Lewis was something pretty special. And that too was clear, as even Fernando has admitted, from the way he was able to win 13 races across the 5 years in a row where his car was slower than Red Bull, and at times Ferrari (and Brawn in 2009 of course) - in 2009, 2011 and 2013, Lewis' car was MUCH slower. He then finally started taking the championships he deserved in 2014 and 2015, and as you say in the video, missed out in 2016 despite more poles, wins and podiums than Rosberg, because of the engine failure from the lead in Malaysia, as well as because he had to start from the back row in China and Belgium, and from tenth in Bahrain, also due to engine problems, while Rosberg didn't have ONE engine problem all year. Rosberg had a four-place grid drop in Austria due to a gearbox issue, but still was still beaten in Q3 by Lewis fair and square.
However, it was 2017 and 2018 where Lewis truly proved beyond any doubt I had that he is among the 5-7 greatest drivers of all time (alongside Juan Manuel Fangio, Jim Clark, Ayrton Senna, Michael Schumacher, and arguably Alain Prost and Jackie Stewart as well). First he took the record for most pole positions, then he equalled Fangio on championships, and he has been closing in on Schumacher ever since. But what's truly staggering to me is that Ferrari were competitive in 2017, almost as fast as Mercedes, but then in 2018, *Ferrari had the fastest car more often than not,* AND Red Bull were closer than ever too. Yet here are the stats between the two great multiple world champions in fairly equal machinery across those two years:
Pole positions - Hamilton 22, Vettel 9
Race victories - Hamilton 20, Vettel 10
Podium finishes - Hamilton 30, Vettel 25
Points - Hamilton 771, Vettel 637 (-134)
The fact that Lewis not only beat, but DESTROYED his (now former) rival for the title of most successful driver of the 2007-2020 (and probably beyond) era, makes the fact that he will soon be above even Schumacher in the record books more than earned. We are witnessing history.
Thank you for subscribing! I agree with what you have said. This is a brilliant comment full of facts and well-argued points! Nice work Elliot 👏
@@BMPHF1 thank you 😊
@@noomade Fangio, Clark, Stewart and Lauda were also very clean, but yes Lewis is the cleanest of the "modern" (televised era) champions, since the 80sish
@@elliotcrossan6290 it's hard to compare drivers across eras, but these modern drivers are literally sat in a Kart when they start walking they are all machines trained to drive. To shine above them all is the most impressive think I believe.
@@donalsam829 absolutely. My view is that we should look at who dominated each era, and say that each of those drivers is one of the all-time greats, but it's SO hard to distinguish between that elite group.
1950s: 🇦🇷 Juan Manuel Fangio (46.2% wins from entries, 5 titles)
1960s: 🇬🇧 Jim Clark (34.2% win rate, 2 titles, killed in a crash in his prime)
Late 1960s and early 1970s: 🇬🇧 Jackie Stewart (27.0% win rate, 3 titles)
Early 1980s to early 1990s: 🇫🇷 Alain Prost (25.2% win rate, 4 titles, was in the same era as fellow titan Senna)
Mid 1980s to early 1990s: 🇧🇷 Ayrton Senna (25.3% win rate, 3 titles, was in the same era as Prost, killed in his prime like Clark)
Mid 1990s to mid 2000s: 🇩🇪 Michael Schumacher (29.6% win rate, 7 titles)
Late 2000s to early 2020s: 🇬🇧 Lewis Hamilton (34.9% win rate, 6 going on 7 titles, career ongoing)
The other dominant drivers to a lesser extent were 🇮🇹 Alberto Ascari (early 1950s, 39.4% win rate, 2 titles, overshadowed by Fangio, killed in his prime), 🇬🇧 Stirling Moss (mid 1950s to early 1960s, 23.9% win rate, greatest never to win the title, overshadowed by Fangio, injured in his prime), 🇦🇹 Niki Lauda (mid 1970s to mid 1980s, 14.2% win rate, not nearly as dominant in his era as others, injured in his prime), and 🇩🇪 Sebastian Vettel (late 2000s to early 2020s, 21.0% win rate, 4 titles, overshadowed by Hamilton, career ongoing)
Button, Alonso and Rosberg were all world class drivers, just look at their career statistics in comparison to teammates who arn't Lewis Hamilton. Also when Mercedes started to get serious they approached Hamilton not the other way round and people seem to ignore that fact. Hamiltons talent is however recognised and admired by many of his on track competitors (Alonso speaks very highly of him), rival team bosses and expert pundits so I don't tend to take much notice of the arm chair experts with selective memories.
So true. All the other drivers understand how hard it is to do what he is doing and as a result, the respect it massively. A lot of fans seem to not see how incredible he actually is and the fact that he has only been beaten in a championship twice by a teammate is phenomenal. And Mercedes wanted him, not e wanted Mercedes as you say so all the more testament to his brilliance as a driver.
@@BMPHF1 couldn't agree more with both of you. Recently started watching f1(2019) and did my research of drivers, how cars work, etc. I think the f1 fan community is disappointing. Most seem to not understand the complexity of the sport, also with the ongoing campaign of BLM, I get sad on how lots of "fans" react. As well how fans get angry at Mercedes for their dominance! It's like saying Michael Phelps winning every race is boring....(swimmer with most Olympics medals)
The Jaiz As a former swimmer, I’m very aware of the great Michael Phelps. And the F1 community can tend to be toxic in that sense because they can’t appreciate greatness before their eyes. I’m glad DTS is bringing new people like you into the sport who can logically reason everything out and understand that Hamilton is not just good because he has a Mercedes, Hamilton is good because he is Hamilton.
Edit: I’m assuming you came from Drive To Survive (Netflix) and if not then my bad. Nevertheless, great to have a new fan who does their research and seeks to understand the truth behind something and not jumping on the ‘he has the best car’ bandwagon 🙌
It is true that on track competitors do recognise Hamilton's talent with the exception of Max Verstappen and Christian Horner. The former believes he is better than the six time world champion, and the latter always wants to play the "should, could, would" card when his driver is out classed, such as "if it wasn't for a slight mistake on his final lap Max would have probably nipped pole."
Yeah exactly
Being a fan of Hamilton it's often difficult expressing what truly makes him the goat IMO.
Years ago, I honestly considered Senna the best driver. Also thought fernando was more "complete". But since 2017 and specifically 2018 Lewis has risen above those two in scope and completeness.
Hamilton has always been quick, devastatingly quick. However, he lacked the other extraordinary qualities that separate the very very good from the great. He'd qualify well but often lost places at the start. Found himself in needless incidents or had inconsistent race pace.
There are two crucial events that birthed current Lewis. Firstly was the move to mercedes and secondly losing to rosberg. By every conceivable metric he was the better driver in 2016 but still lost. How? Mechanical issues, sure. But he knew he didn't maximise every aspect of racing. Jensen once said; "the day lewis learns to work with his engineers, the rest of the grid better not turn up."
For years, Hamilton relied too heavily on his natural adaptive talent to wring a lap from a misbehaving car. Unfortunately that's not possible over a stint. The tires would collapse. By learning, probably better than anyone else ,how these pirelli's operate he's able to extract outrageous amounts of performance from them. Bare in mind, he was once known as a tire killer. Like all the greats, he's constantly learning and scarily - improving.
How many races have we seen him push faster cars like charles in monza last year. Walk on water. Or repeated brake the lap record in hungary to eventually overhaul verstappen. Even his worse season, 2011, is stellar by any standard. 3 wins and the only none redbull pole speaks for itself. That Korean lap was a thing of beauty. Were it not for his incidents and mclaren's screw ups, button would've been toast. And unlike most who run after being beaten by their teammates, Lewis demolished button in 2012.
Though he's been beaten over a season, he remained demonstrably faster than his teammates. Three of which were or became world champions. Only Prost has a stronger rogues gallery. Let that sink in.
Mercedes current success is largely down to Lewis Hamilton and not the other way around. The engineers are amazing, the car is amazing but he is ligament that hold everything together. Without him, the car wouldn't have developed the way it did. The engine wouldn't have developed the way it did. Not my words, those are Andy Cowell's and James Allison. Worth noting, both have worked with most of the greats and both without pause cite lewis as the best. Not only for his talent, but humanity, sportsmanship and vision.
How many teams would change their 90 year old historic livery for their number one driver? How many drivers would put off signing the most lucrative deal/seat in f1? How many drivers would call on their sport to not only be more environmentally friendly but actively push for diversity and equality. Especially in a historically, predominantly white male, euro-centric, aristocratic culture. Not to mention being the first and currently only black driver.
Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton has absolutely nothing to prove. As fans, we should appreciate greatness in the flesh and not 15 or 20 years from now.
Bahamuttiamat You’re comments can literally be turned into full on videos. I love reading them! As you say, the key turning points in his career were his move to Merc and losing to Rosberg. He’s never ever gonna let anything slip again and the working relationship between him and everyone at Mercedes is a thing of beauty. Nobody can beat them as a team and Hamilton has always been the driving force behind that juggernaut. You’ve explained everything so well as always. I’ll probably be coming back to some of your comments in future videos as they are so insightful.
@@BMPHF1 Thank you, but I'll leave the heavy lifting up to the experts. You. LOL
Well said👏
Wow brilliant comment.👍
Couldn't put it any better!!!!
The overall response to this video has been super positive. I’ll keep making more Hamilton-related videos if you want with of course a blend of videos about other drivers (spoiler: next video is about Mark Webber). If you have any ideas for Hamilton-related videos, leave them in the reply to this comment. Thanks for the amazing support! 😊
Great video 👍 respect. You have earned a subscriber.
Thank you 🙏
If you think Lewis is ‘just the car’ you’re either a hater or a racist. Simple
@@gentnextdoor Stop drawing the race card please, it really is out of place here, other than that Lewis kindled the race argument within its echelon all by himself. It wasn't an issue in previous years so why now?? And yes he has the better car and support, nothing wrong with that, good luck to him.
@@gentnextdoor on point. Seconded view.
When Hamilton was at McLaren. The racing team still had the record of winning 1 out of every 4 races since the teams inception. When Hamilton left. That record went to shit.
So Mclaren had this amazing record for so decades already which somehow got ruined after Hamilton spent time with the team.
Random satements like those don't prove anything.
@Charlie Robertson And you believe that's accredited to Mclaren focusing on road cars you are an idiot.. somebody had to say it. The man makes anything he gets in go fast stop being a hater.
@Charlie Robertson Explain why he was so good in a go kart with very worn racing equipment his dad didn't have tons of money and they didn't have great equipment but he dominated time and time again. It's about skill vision and fearlessness not. Mclaren went to shit because Ham left and vehicle design changed and they couldn't keep up he could make an average car great ut Mclarens next drivers couldn't it's that simple.
@Charlie Robertson what does that have to do with you downplaying his skill.. that means nothing that’s mclarens fault if he would have stayed with mclaren and he would have had success the season they merged the department’s then what would your excuse be ?
@Charlie Robertson you would definitely find another excuse as to why he is not that good that’s called being a hater bro.. nobody likes a hater.
I honestly believe people won’t appreciate Lewis Hamilton until he leaves the sport and you realise how much he has achieved! He is one of the greats...it’s crazy!! I just love this video❤️
Brit In F1 Thank you Brit! Yeah I agree - people will only realise how great he is once it’s all over. The thing is, he is so in tune with that Mercedes that it just looks easy.
I started to appreciate him after this last season, it’s been terribly boring without him at the front. Hoping he gets back to his best and he and Max entertain us once again
Just like everything else in sport, you never know how good someone is untill they retire.

Hi
70 years of F1 and people still don't understand that it takes BOTH the driver and the team/car to win let alone be dominant. Lewis will not win in a Williams much in the same way none of the majority of the Earth's population will not win in a Mercedes.
And let's be honest the "it's the car" comment has been in motorsport since forever. It's the most brainless effort of taking a dominant driver down.
With the risk of being 'brainless' it is all about the car about winning but when you have a team behind you with resources then you become dominant, you yourself said Hamilton would not win in a Williams, I doubt he would in a Ferrari. When there has been championships where the leading cars are more equal then you see the best drivers.
@@anglewoden Its the car doesnt simply imply that the car matters it implies "it's only the car". That's what OP is getting at.
@@StaySqueezy12 The OP is suggesting it is both the driver and car in equal measure, that is how I read it anyway. For me the car is more important than the driver. Obviously there has to be some talent but if you put Vettel, Verstappen, Abon, LeClerc, Norris and others in the current Mercedes wouldn't they be dominating as well?
@@anglewoden Its a hard game to play because it's one of speculation. I personally think LeClerc to be the 2nd best driver on the grid and I rate Verstappen pretty highly as well. I think they'd both do very well. As well as Ham, that's really impossible to know. While the car definitely matter a whole helluva lot, I think if we're going to compare drivers, we have to give them somewhat the benefit of the doubt. Like with Schumacher in the F2004 or Senna is his McLaren and so on. They had great cars but we also remember them as great drivers. Could there have been some other drivers who could have beat them in equal machinery? Maybe. But I dont think we can judge historically based upon maybe. I say we have to go with what we have. Theres a similar point made often where I live (North Carolina). Basketball is huge here and a lot of great players have grown up here (Michael Jordan, Steph Curry, Chris Paul, etc). But as good as the NBA players were, there are countless stories of unknown guys who used to outshine the NBA players throughout their youth and even early adulthood. The stories often end with, they didnt have the grades to play in college, or they were never discovered, or they just got hurt. Now do we rate these players, as better than their NBA counterparts? No. Could they have been? Maybe. But at the end of the day they never got there. I think F1 Is similar. You've got to look at the guys at the top and while there might be some drivers naturally better, if we're going to make any type of historical comparisons, we have to heavily weigh the success a driver has had. Because in a sport like F1, its very hard to truly grade driver talent apart from car proficiency.
@@StaySqueezy12 TBF I stated current drivers not historical. For me Jim Clark is probably the best driver and at a time when you really had to DRIVE the car and death was a hazard.
If you put LeClerc into Hamilton's car and Hamilton into LeClerc's car who would you say would come out on top?
You can't argue with the stats/facts! I've watched F1 since 1972 and seen some awesome drivers and racers but none as complete a package as Hamilton. THE GOAT!
Wow, 1972 the year I was born! Hope You got to see a few races live!! Totally agree with Your assessment of Lewis, soon 7x F1 Champion.
Right now people are caught up in the short term and only see Hamilton dominating as a boring thing. But I think in hindsight it will become evident to everyone just how legendary the achievements of Hamilton are, in the same way we remember the champions of the past who dominated in their time like Schumacher or Vettel.
Totally agreed, forgot what micheal Schumacher said about Hamilton, he's quick and consistent one to watch for the future he can't remember that last time he saw a rookie so good, he going to be a world champion...Schumacher words to Niki lauder go get Lewis Haminton to drive for Mercedes he's the best man for this seat do what ever it takes to get him @ Mercedes a 2am conversation and the rest was history,,,not to mention the conversation started by saying Michael Schumacher thinks you should drive for Mercedes.
junior reds Crazy to think this guy tipped LH to be the next big thing after him and how right he was.
@@BMPHF1 how does the saying go "it takes one to know one". i have watched lewis since his first day. he was always freaking fast, but way to eager in the beginning. now he is alot more mature and calm. just a pure joy to watch... even though we would like to see drivers do stupid things on track to make racing more interesting
The late great Sterling Moss, arguably the greatest ever driver in motor sport (across a number of disciplines), rated Hamilton the best he'd ever seen. Hamilton came to F1 as the real deal. Alonso would have buried every other rookie but Hamilton showed him the way. He was always destined to be a winner. You can't argue with talent.
💯👏👏
But also When Lewis joined McLaren in 2007 he was their Test driver in 2006 and Back then he was in the car every weekend so he new that car extremely well. Alonso had just come Into McLaren without knowing the car at all, and yet Alonso matched him on points.
@@frankimussprime9731 Lewis was still a rookie though it's embarrassing comparing a rookie to a double world champ😂
@@frankimussprime9731 Alonso was also the 2-time defending champion coming into the second to best car on the grid.
Lewis was in a zone today. He quietly went about his qualifying session mourning the passing of Chadwick Boseman and used it to power him to pole today. What a way to honour the king. Chadwick gave this world so much and he will be sorely missed by everyone ❤️ WAKANDA FOREVER. Anyway, hope you all enjoyed it.
Bruh!! I've watched that quali lap 10x. That middle sector.... Stupid! Disgusting! Unsanitary! Filthy! Running out of superlatives. My God!! He was braking at the 25m board and there isn't a 25m board!!! Pouhon isn't even a corner anymore! Flat in 7th. He broke for les combes at 25m!!! How? Just mental. Only two drivers looked good today. Max and Lewis. It's difficult to describe but the way their cars move and change direction is almost organic. There are very few instances where a modern f1 car looks fast. Today and silverstone 2018 are great examples. Hamilton is aggressive, precise and smooth at the same time, how is that even possible?
Bahamuttiamat It’s the magic he is capable of producing. Reminded me a lot of Singapore 2018. Literally 0 mistakes. None. I can’t describe the brilliance of this dude over 1 lap anymore. Max is in a league of his own compared to everyone else but Lewis is in that upper echelon. His ability to extract more out of himself during a time of sadness and mourning is what produces moments like today. I think we’re witnessing one of the greatest single seasons in history.
@@Bahamuttiamat braking very late AND on the gas very early too!

@@alfaV6boy1 the GOAT who is about to smash all of Schumachers records is black, you hate to see it
Whilst I hate the dominance of hamilton and mercedes i cannot let people put the man down he is such an inspiration to all. He needs much more recognition in his ability. The man wouldn't be a 6 time world champ for nothing. I mean its like people saying that schumacher only won because he was in the best car but he had some tough competition in the 7 years
Ellis Seaman Exactly. During a period of dominance, it can get boring for neutrals and it’s only really fun for Hamilton fans. Personally, I love what he is doing. He is making history and he will undoubtedly go down as one of the GOATs when it’s all said and done. Thanks for the support as always Ellis 😊
The audio is on point, class video as usual 👌🏻
LTF1 Thank you buddy 😊
success attracts hate and jealousy, as in every other sport. i do feel like that the f1 community has gotten a lot more toxic over the past years, especially towards lewis :/
btw your microphone quality has definitely improved, keep it up bro.
Hey man. Thank you. The new AT2020 is doing wonders for me haha 😂. Your first line says it all. Many people will find reasons to hate him for no reason whatsoever but he is clearly one of the best ever. Hopefully when people look back, they will see how great he really was
I started watching f1 this year, fell in love almost instantly, and you’re completely right ! I’ve noticed the hate that comes his way simply because he is winning, It’s kinda sad
I remember last when lewis start at P14 and went all the way to win the race🔥🔥🔥
@@BMPHF1 No argument that Lewis deserves his place in the ranks of the best. He utilized his talents and skills with maximum efficiency and devotion. But to use, in His case, a high profile sports platform such as F1 for a disputable cause is a blunder of proportion. Especially when He deliberately mist the opportunity by not supporting His fellow sports Idols in the NBA who left the arena in support of their argument, agreeably or not. Its all right to stand in front of an audience with your arms crossed in support of the Black Panther Movement. But to me it holds no value if your priorities tell a different story. Jesse Owens and Martin Luther King are written in the books of history as real ambassador's in the fight against racism. For you Lewis, I have my doubts. But your still the best on the track for a long time to come and in that respect I'm proud of you. The colour of your skin, or that of any body els, is in all respect irrelevant to me.
nano It’s very consistent that the dominant individual always gets hate. But the vitriol directed at Lewis Hamilton is insane. Even more telling is that Bottas has actually done more than Verstappen has. Yet Verstappen is the lighting rod. Either way, when Lewis wins his seventh world title, and Bottas finishes second in the points again, the haters will insist that Verstappen is better, and the car deserves the credit.
So when Verstappen does get the RARE win, was it his so called better than Lewis talent, or the car 🤔🤷♂️🤦♂️
Anything to fit a narrative.
Absolutely, you don't win 6 championship by luck but by consistency
Everybody forgets about his junior career where he won damn near every title he entered
Man oh man!!! This guy is on another level in research and dedication. Kudos to you brother!!

pranshul singh big fact
Good video with a lot of potential. Just counter a couple of points in a constructive manner, I wouldn't say that Lewis was signed to lead Mercedes per se. I'd have seen him as a great talent, but Mercedes policy was never to have a team leader, at least in its initial setting up shop of the Rosberg-Hamilton relationship. He does occasionally lose his head, 09-11 was a little turbulent for him on occasions. But hes matured brilliantly into a statesman and behemoth of the sport. We are arguably seeing the peak of his brilliance. Anyway, keep up the good work.
Thank you. Sorry for the late reply. TH-cam is showing me all the comments notifications which is a bummer. Yeah your counter is valid actually. There really has never been a team leader in the way that there has been at Red Bull or at Ferrari. That’s a reason why I think they’re so successful. He was also quite hot-headed especially in 2011, but as you say, he has transformed into a mature, level-headed beast who rarely makes mistakes. At the moment he is inch perfect in everything. Thanks for the comment man 👍
Also I appreciate the constructive counters. People can tend to just state points without backing them up. This is a genuinely objective response 👌
@lukeschillin Gonna have to disagree with you there bud. Lewis was in fact brought in as team leader, to replace the ageing Schumacher. It's important to acknowledge speed isn't the only consideration when filling a seat in f1. Commercial and branding is as important. Mercedes had aspirations of winning and they needed the best drivers available, not only to drive but the sell their brand, in this case cars. The board weren't convinced lewis was the right man because of how he's portrayed in the media. Nikki didn't care one iota, signed him without the boards approval.
In terms of how the race team is operated, both drivers are given equal treatment. There are no number 1 or number 2 driver.
I agree, Lewis was signed as a competitive partner to Rosberg and not as the team leader. Also, lets not forget Rosberg was the blue eyed boy who more than held his own against an older Schumacher.
@@Bahamuttiamat Hamilton is the most marketable driver in F1, never heard the board being against hiring him. The common story is they sent Nikki to headhunt him
nice to see a youtuber who doesnt underrate and recognises that the 2018 ferrari was better than mercedes, vettel never recovered from germany till this day. he spun out leading chip in a ferrari in his home race..that's traumatic for a schumi fan like seb. now i gota find a youtuber who can recognise how good the 2012 ferrari was and will call out alonso for bieng shit at qualifying.
Lughano Let me take a look at 2012 again and consider making a vid about it 🤔
@@BMPHF1 yeh my perspectives on events are different to people cause am lookin back at seasons watchin season reviews and stuff. On man bbc where much better than sky in my opinion at f1
Lughano BBC were so sick! 🔥
@@lughano5253 I think so too. Was really upset when they stopped halfway through the 2015 season. But Ch4 took over and did a reasonable job until recently showing fewer live races.
My dad has been a McLaren fan his whole life, first Hunt, then Senna was his first big love and then Häkkinen. I was born in 2001 and started watching formula 1 because of him when I was a baby. The first season I still remember was 2005. Then came the announcement in 2006 that Alonso would join McLaren, which we were very happy about for obvious reasons. Then one day in late 06 my dad came to me and showed me a video. It was Lewis’ GP2 highlights from the Turkish Grand Prix that year. I can still remember watching that video for the first time and being completely blown away by Lewis’ overtakes and how he still almost won the race after he spun on the second lap and fell back to the back of the grid. After I finished watching it my dad told me that he would drive for McLaren in 2007. I remember instantly felling in love with his driving style. It’s needles to say that I became a Hamilton fan that day. Ever since then this man and f1 have been a major part in my life. He is the reason I always wake up with a big smile on my face every saturday and sunday morning on race week. I watched him drive like a seasoned world champion for the first half of that 07 season to throwing away the title in China because of a stupid rookie mistake. I remember crying for 30 minutes straight after he sank his car in the gravel in the pit entry. I remember a year later crying for 30 minutes straight because he overtook glock in the penultimate corner of the last lap in Brazil and thus finally winning that title. I could go on like this for hours of my favorite memories of him in F1, good or bad. The point I’m trying to make is that this man is a spectacle. On his best days, which nowadays seems like every other race weekend the man is this inhuman godlike figure that is invincible by anyone. It’s ok not to like him, but you can at least appreciate greatness, when it has been there right in front of your eyes on tv for the last 13 years.
Couldn’t have said it any better. Brilliant comment 🙌
the greatest f1 driver of all time. we won't see another as great in our lifetime.
9 podiums in his first 9 f1 races.
wins in each of his first 14 seasons.
missed championship by 1 point in his rookie season.
the greatest of all time!
By far the greatest F1 driver, and even to this day he's so competitive and hates to lose.Pure class 100%
He beat them all, even Alonso and he’s surpassing all F1 records. The greatest
God what a video.
*takes notes*
F1 Globe 😂 Thank you 🙏
Lewis would get the best of any driver in any car irregardless. Like his father said, he wears other driver out.
Dwayne DeLain Straight Fax. I’ve been privileged enough to meet his father myself and he is super down-to-earth and a lovely human being considering how much of a superstar his son is.
You're saying if Lewis was driving one of the Red Bull cars he'd still be winning? That comment is laughable and intellectually dishonest.
Paul Baker Tell me why
Hmm let's see Lewis in a HAAS then
@@Aru_Art02 Yeah but then no one is winning a race driving a honda civic either.
He's just too good, his work ethic is way more dedicated than most other drivers.
Now I'm convinced.... A lot more people need to watch and listen to this
SileTa Mus I’m glad I convinced you. That was my intention for people who may have looked at his dominance with the team and thought he’s just lucky. You are one of the open-minded ones who is willing to listen and even have a change of perception. Thanks for the support 😊
Excellent segment! Lewis is absolutely amazing. It is very strange that many people continue credit to the car instead of him. Ayrton, Michael, Prost, Gilles and even Vettel did not have their accomplishments downplayed in this way. Lewis will have the most wins of ever very soon, and he had to beat every teammate to do it, there were never standing team orders for him to win.
fortijr Thank you as always for the support! Yeah literally there has never been a World Champion that hasn’t won the championship in a 1st/2nd fastest car. Every driver needs a good car underneath them to perform well. But every car needs a great pilot to maximise its full potential. Lewis has done everything the right way and as you say, well on his way to breaking every record that exists in F1.
Fantastic vid. Hits it out the park in underlining every reason why we are witnessing a once in a generation talent.
I was impressed with Hamilton’s instinctive opportunism in 2008 to win that year’s championship, but it was in 2009 that I became convinced that he was the real deal: his focus, determination and his skill in what Eddie Jordan described as arguably Mclaren’s worst design (at that point) was hugely impressive.
As one commenter pointed out recently, Hamilton has never been an underdog because his talent his so special and he knows it, which is why some of us Brits have such hard time wrapping our heads around the facts of his success: in 🇬🇧, we always love an underdog, someone with flaws and all who’s more like us; we just don’t know how to appreciate super confident heroes, so it’s easier to handicap them in some way, which is why people reach for explanations like “ he’s in best car” “weak teammates” “Max is better... blah blah”
He’s possibly the greatest sporting hero this country has produced and we shouldn’t be ashamed to acknowledge it.
Michael Thompson Perfectly said. He is in my eyes the greatest sportsman in the United Kingdom based on his credentials alone.
I'll say that Lewis is one of the greatest F1 drivers in history. However, the reason he's won 6 titles is because of the car/team. Put Lewis in one of the Red Bull cars and he'd get an occasional victory and be in 3rd or 4th place at season end just like Max Verstappen. Same for Sebastian Vettel...he won 4 consecutive titles with Red Bull because of the car/team. The driver is important, but it's not the main factor.
Well, Botas proved it otherwise!
Michael wouldnt have got to 7 without building the team around him. Fangio wouldnt have got to 5 without constantly looking for which team had the best car and resources. The fact is you can't have one without the other. You can't have a winning team without a winning driver and vice versa. The best drivers get the max out of the car more often than others. Lewis has done that time and time again over the near decade and a half. THATS why he is where he is now. Being able to get the best of the equipment around him using his natural driving ability.
That implies that there would be other drivers on the grid who could take 1st and 2nd in the Mercedes car. That is unlikely, if Lewis was in a RB, because Max already pushes close to 2nd in the RB. If it wasnt Max in the Merc, the odds that someone would take 1st or 2nd while Lewis was in a RB are not so good.
Is it the chicken or the egg and in this case, Lewis has done much more than any in his career therefore it should be in all probability Lewis's crown as the greatest don't you think?
Great video. I am not one the ones that needs to be convinced of his greatness behind the wheel. He may be boring to some, but I love how he goes about his driving in a no nonsense manner. I don't generally do philosophy but there is a quote. Roman philosopher Seneca, “Luck is what happens when preparation meets opportunity.” You can't create your "luck" if you don't first take the opportunity that's presented to you. While many want to detract Lewis's career because he's in a great car, they don't remember that many talking heads thought this move to Silver Arrow was a bad move. How wrong they were! Get in there, Lewis!!
T Mar Thank you man. You are spot on. Lewis has made his own luck by seizing opportunities presented to him many times in his career.
Great video .. What happened to MacLean when Hamo left 🤔 Hamo took the great Shumi seat at Mec . Where was Mec before Hamo . Hamo has made that car his own . Keep up the good work . Respect .
donald tracey Thank you. McLaren saw a decline in performance when Lewis left which just goes to show how impactful he is as a driver.
@@BMPHF1 come on guys. McLaren was already in decline that's why Lewis left. The car was unreliable, slow. McLaren didn't decline because Hamilton left, Hamilton left because of the decline. And Mercedes didn't become quick because Hamilton went there, do your research and you'll see that Mercedes where already developing a great car just ready for the rule changes, Ross Brawn knew that, all they needed was the best driver to maximise what they already knew was going to be a great car.. Best Driver Lewis in The Best Car. Boom 💥. But to be honest the Mercedes would have been the dominant car it is today with or without lewis
Much needed video. Hard work and consistency tagged as luck is disgusting and there are "fans" who do that while warming the couch. Given the competition he has faced through the years and what he has faced off the track, what he has achieved is more than commendable. Always pushes himself to the maximum, understands the machine so well to know how much it can be pushed exactly and staying clinical be it FP, Quali or the race, all this without cursing on the radio all the time. Entertainment being valued over consistency (of a team and a driver) says a lot about the mass behaviour in general.
Balaj Prasanna Thanks man. Yeah I completely agree with everything you have said. He has just been so consistently quick throughout his entire career. Even the so called ‘bad’ seasons aren’t necessarily that bad if you compare to other greats who had bad seasons
@@BMPHF1 Thanks to you man. For bringing this to the fore. One of my all time favourite quotes, "Numbers are your best friends."
Hive mentality at its finest
Excellent video. All I could add is a thought on how he got his start with McLaren.
Barcelona picks up a young boy from Rosario called Messi and turns him into the best footballer of his generation. He gets all the breaks, pampered, top notch coaching, nutrition etc. You never hear anyone say “he isn’t very good because he never cut his teeth at Osasuna” because that is the accepted model in football.
Ron Dennis picks up a young, working class lad from Stevenage and turns him into the best single seat racer of his generation. You often hear people say “he isn’t very good because he never played cut his teeth at Arrows”. The accepted model in F1 is basically that you need parents rich enough to get you into the sport or influential enough to attract sponsors. McLaren broke this.
Just think how much better F1 drivers would be if, like Dennis, all teams drew from 99.95% of the population rather than 0.05%
Thank you man. Honestly, if F1 actually picked drivers who are genuinely talented whether they have money or not, we’d have such amazing championships. Lewis I think will be the last working-class driver we will ever see. It’s a shame that this sport is so dependent on money but it is what it is I guess.
Dude I almost cried when you dropped the rain statistics bomb
Ive been asking F1 race statistics websites to reveal all wet statistics since 2007 and none of them answer my formal requests or emails. It's insane how good Lewis is in the wet. Insane. Button was too. But only when severe lottery and attrition played a part. Honestly. Even Budapest 2006.
FRFM00 That one took me a while to count up lol 😂. I always knew his brilliance in the wet was probably the strongest case for this video so I had to just manually check it all. Unfortunately, the F1 statistic websites don’t really highlight these kind of things so hopefully these videos do 😊
That new mic is 🔥🔥🔥 Great video lad!
FP1 - Formula Podcast One Thank you my g! Appreciate the love ❤️
For me when a person talks shit on Hamilton and says he only wins cause of the Mercedes car I immediately assume they don't know much about motorsport, or just say that out of emotion, cause they like some other driver too much
Spot on analysis, thank you. Going for his 7th title.
Thank you very much 😊
Good thumbnail. I think that you predict things psych
Haha. Maybe I do? But Lewis helped me out with his stunning performance today

Muhammad Hasif Bin Muhammad I Thank you buddy. This one is defo my best 😅
I think the most amazing development in LH is his ability to juggle all the things in his life and always come back to the race track and deliver amazing, jaw dropping performances. Was it 2011, when he was splitting up with Nicole Scherzinger and he kept bumping into Felipe Massa, it was obvious that the balance of his life was wrong but nowadays, he goes away and does his fashion & music interests and goodness knows what else but when he comes back to the track he is steely focused and (almost) never misses a step. It doesn't seem to matter what he was doing the previous day or weekend or in the off season, when he comes to the track he comes to race and it is almost like he has never been away...he is just on it every time. He is like a machine. I did think that he might've quit F1 after 2016 and the shenanigans that went on with his teammate but he seems just as focused on winning as he ever was. Like I said, a machine
Saw your video on my recommendation watched it & loved it, keep up the good work you just earned a new sub.
The whole “luck” thing really grinds my gears. I.e in silverstone when he won the race with 3 tires & people were saying it was shear luck.
Judith Majoro Thanks for the sub buddy 😊. Yeah the whole argument he was just lucky is just a way of trying to water down his achievements but there is no real substance to that claim. Hamilton will remain one of the greatest if not, the greatest. I think he’s the best, just need to put a solid factual video together explaining why
He completed a full lap with a blowout front tire and still won a race in Britain. What's the hate about?

Thanks for This Great Video That explains why this man truly deserves to be called one of the greatest
Formula one Drivers of all times! It truly has been a pleasure to watch him from the first time I saw him back in 2007 Thanks Again!
Michael Perkins Thank you very much Michael. Really appreciate the support. Yeah I agree, Lewis is making history right now and at least for me, you, and a lot of others in this comment section, it’s really enjoyable to watch
The man was recruited by Nikki!!...Enough said!!
See how these days people say "ooh he is a rookie give him some time" That was not the case for Ham. Everyone knew he was going to come out the door banging 🔥
He's proven he's better than every team mate he's had....... and obviously team mates are in the same car.
great video man, i really liked the way it was done. yes im not the biggest fan of stats,because it can be manipulated for an outcome depending on how you use it to show what you believe in. but in saying this,the format was one to show everyone the amount of DNF,which some people omit from their findings. etc. but yes,if you go back to his carting days,it was clear to see then how good he was in the rain as well. that is where he picked up his race craft.blindingly fast in all conditions and very very quick to adapt to changing conditions,with the teams help of course,but he just gets on with it. loved Martin Brundles comment on Lewis as well. most will not see past their own hate for Lewis,and dont get me wrong,i am a fan of most of the f1 drivers anyway,i just choose to be a predominantly Lewis fan. a guy made comment on one the f1 videos,said he raced against Lewis when was around 8-10 years of age. said he was a beast back then already. he couldnt believe how Lewis did what he did in those carts,today he,he said he could see why its hard to beat him,absolute control of most situations. but to do that year in and year out....nuts! even Dani boy said it in the post race interview...Max as well. if they can recognise his driving,WHO THE HELL ARE THESE SNOWFLAKE ARMCHAIR COMMENTATORS THEN? AS I ALWAYS SAY........ER,NOBODY IN THE REALM OF F1.
Very well said Ashley! His karting years most definitely prove that his success is down to more than just the Mercedes. He’s one of the best drivers skill-wise of all time. Arguably the most complete driver ever.
Such a sick video bro, those stats vs Button really surprised me. For some reason the narative is that Button was better than him during their time together becuase of points. But I didnt realise the number of DNFs lewis had
F1 HOUSE Yeah DNFs really hampered Lewis from 2010-2012. And thank you for the compliment man 😊
Fantastic, thanks for making this couldn't have explained it any better
Leon Roberts Thanks for watching 😊
Niki Lauda should know and he summed it up best!
Really well structured video.
Absolutely terrific job lad. Simply amazing, cheers.
Thank you buddy 😊
Brv loved your video man. The stats at the end “boom” the mic drop on the floor ✌🏾
Thanks bro 😊
Hamilton would still win if he was in a “insert racing team name here” but the merc is the best car. I just don’t think he would win nearly as much.
F1 fans never cease to amaze me, as someone who was trying to get into the sports it was honestly the fans that turned me off of it. The double standards, inane arguments that ignore any logic. Like saying hamilton has the best car but ignoring all his performances where there was either strong competition or his car was not suited to the circuit and also ignoring the fact that all the best drivers have also had the best car... like is that not the point of f1? To have the best car and a driver that can make it win???
I don’t mean to cause an argument but, all the greats had great if not the best car . Senna never won a title in his Tollman and Prost in his Renault and also Schumacher in his early days with Bennetton ( Pre 1994). So lets all just appreciate LH because we will miss him like we miss MS and Ayrton Senna.
Elias Teng You are correct Elias in what you say. It’s absolutely essential to have a good car underneath you as a driver in order to succeed in this sport. But the way you manage your affairs is also so important. As I stated about how Hamilton earned a good reputation and as a result was recruited by Mercedes, Alonso didn’t do the same and just went from team to team without achieving anything. They are both super talented but the difference between Hamilton and Alonso is their career choices
BMPHF1 Yep Alonso is absolutely one of the best but I feel his legacy is tainted by his constant toxicity in Mclaren calling out the engine manufacturers. Alonso is superbly talented but his legacy was affected by his days at Mclaren sadly.
Elias, exactly. The simple equation is bad cars don't win championships. A decent car with a great driver can achieve podiums and occasional freak win (Senna in Monaco '84, Schumacher in Belgium '92, Vettel in Italy '08, Lewis in Hungary '09 etc), but not consistent enough to beat the best car over that particular season for the championship. Fangio won 5 titles with 4 different teams because he had the knack of knowing who had the best car that year. Mercedes have a built a great car, and they have one of, if not the best, drivers around proving that. You need the driver to drive the car.
You are on point. There's no argument about anything. You're just 100% right. Simple as that.
Subscribed just with the title, sharing this video to my lhteam groups hope it helps you get more subs, please keep telling the world how good Lewis is

Gavins World Thank you brother! Much love 💜🖤💜🖤. I have a community post out and I’m basically just asking what topics you want to see me cover regarding Lewis Hamilton as I want people to see the truth behind the legend. If you have any ideas, let me know 🙌
Bottas and Hamilton are almost a second faster than 3rd position every qualifying and they always almost finish 1st and 2nd on race day, you can tell me he’s a good driver because he is, but you’d be lying to say that his car is only half of it because anyone f1 driver in his Mercedes wins the championship.
I don’t doubt the car plays the bigger role. I don’t want to go with a specific ratio because I haven’t delved too deep into the stats. Chain Bear has a really good video covering the driver/car importance but the car is always the biggest factor in this sport. But then you also have to look at how the cars are designed. They are not built in isolation. Hamilton gives better feedback than anyone else on the grid about where the car is lacking and how the team should go about development. Kovalainen described it as a 6th sense he just naturally has. He is the best driver in the best team and the two complement each other very well
9:53 Mic drop 😂🤣. Great vidoe .
GG 😂 Thank you 😊
I lived in Hockenheim from 2003-2013. I attended so many events. What is funny is you really have access to the racers in the lower category series. I met Hamilton back in those PRE-F1 days and I knew he was great and would no doubt be greater with experience. I had no idea that he would achieve such success. Thanks for the great videos and convincing clarification.
Thank you for the love. Honestly comments like these mean so much! ❤️
Lewis is raw talent.
The problem here is his dominance with Mercedes.
As happend with Vettel or Alonso, they were at some point, a little bit hated.
But as them changed to other teams, they showed their true skills. Vettel and Alonso are so much respected ane loved now, after some difficult years in other teams.
I just want to see Lewis make magic again with underperforming car, to absolutely "clean his name".
Good s**t here mate. Reminded me one channel about nba. Great content. If you put graphs you are going to explode to 100K.
I love this video ❤️ thanks a lot!
Not everyone understands this.
People still try and bring Lewis down even though he’s had all that success you pointed out. Great vid
Thank you 😊
Lewis is the greatest of all time period! Only haters and racists who come up with these excuses that it's the car etc
Do you not know who Jim Clark is or Ayrton senna
Hes one of the best but not the goat
Nobody is the greatest of all time.. F1 changes to much to measure who is the best.
Great video. At last someone really gets how special LH is.
Thank you 😊. I’m kinda guessing from the overall response to this video that lots of people wanna see more Hamilton-related videos. In that case, I’ll get working.
Hamilton is knocking on the door to equal and surpass Michael Schumacher's records and while there is no getting away from Schumacher's talent he always benefited from being the team's number one driver where as Hamilton's team mates have always been his biggest rivals with minimal team orders and he seems to be getting better with age.
In the would, should, could world, he was unlucky to miss out on the championship in his rookie year and in 2016 it was a second retirement that cost him the championship.
Thank you so much for this. I am a huge Lewis fan and I’ve been waiting for someone to make a video like this.
Being a fan of Hamilton since he was driving with Mercedes and still stick with him hes an absolute legend i hope he will get through the new Season good its all about the driver not about the car , yes the Car makes a difference but its about the talent great video
Completely agree with EVERY word. He is exceptional both on and off the track, and an incredible ambassador for Britain. I just wish the British people could acknowledge this incontrovertible fact.
Me too. Hopefully with time, people will come through and acknowledge his greatness both on and off the track. He’s a legend
BTW. 2011 was one of the worst years ever in Lewis’ personal life. He had an Aunt who was diagnosed with Cancer and then died within a matter of months and I think he also had a Cousin pass away suddenly in the course of the year. With this in mind, it was an extraordinary performance.
One final thing that should be pointed out, are the natural advantages that black athletes have. Superior eye to hand co-ordination, fast twitch muscle fibres, extra testosterone. This combined with his god given talent really make him a force to be reckoned with.
Music Dominant Wow! I didn’t know about this. That makes his 2011 season all the more impressive with all that considered.
Lewis is the greatest f1 driver off all time and the greatest rookie

The stats don’t lie, he is just an outstanding driver overall, love him or the him there is a reason why Ron Dennis picked him out of the crowd, and he was notoriously hard to impress.
What I find most disingenuous about the “he has the best car” argument is is disregards any credit Hamilton should get for the car being so good. He’s now in his eighth season with Mercedes, through all the winter testing, every practice session, qualifying and every race debrief in that time he’s been there talking to the engineers about how the car is running, what changes work and what doesn’t, and areas to improve. His input plays a role in making sure the team goes in the right engineering directions to make the car faster. Also his role within the team between races in part helps to set the tone for those around him. He hasn’t let up, he’s as hungry as ever and so are they.
Loved it. This is my ammuniton against the haters.
THE ENGLISH MAN Thanks man. Go and blast the Lewis haters (and the fans) with this 😂
I can't even understand how people can dismiss LH's talent and skill. I've been watching since his entry in 2007, and even in those lacklustre years it's still apparent he's on another level - indeed, rain often proves it.

African DADC Thank you for subscribing mate! Really appreciate it 😊
Hamilton beat Alonso in the same car in his rookie season. That's all I need to know. Hamilton isn't a bad driver. He's probably the best of all time but no one wants to admit it
Because Kimi and Alonso had to switch to NEW TYRES and a NEW TEAM. Massa and Lewis had already used Bridgestones, in GP2 and 2006, while Kimi and Fernando had used Michelins. This flattered Lewis and Massa. Get a grip. If Lewis had made his debut in 2006 on Michelin tyres we would have been slaughtered.
@@ciaronsmith4995 oh right and tyres although being a valid point are major enough to completely undermine the fact that alonso is a two time world champion and beat schumacher and considered one of if not the best driver in recent times. yeah i got you
@@goatseatsoatsk2255 2007 is not recent times. First of all, it did have a MAJOR impact, (see clips and article below), both struggled for at least half a season, Raikkonen in particular was the fastest driver on the planet on the Michelin tyres - psychotically fast. Second, Alonso did NOT "beat" Schumacher. In 2005, Alonso got lucky that Raikkonen's car kept breaking down. That season both Kimi and Fernando beat Michael, so the way you're framing Alonso is wrong. Kimi and Alonso were BOTH the first to finish ahead of MSC in a WDC during the dominant period. Alonso was also beaten by Jarno Trulli in 2004. Jarno had more points after Monza 2004 (Jarno's last race for Renault before he switched to Toyota for the rest of 2004). 46 points to Jarno, 45 for Alonso. So yes, Alonso and Kimi were massively compromised because of the rule and tyre changes in 2007 and 2008 (in Kimi's case), see article and video clip explaining below:

Very nice, clean video mate. The last statistic was profound. I never needed to see any more than Lewis' first season to get the point. Those who pretend not to, clearly have a different agenda - and at times to compound the issue, I think Lewis has not been very wise. As you said - Jenson, Nico and Fernando are all WDC. They ALL think he is the best. Enough said.

Just came across this video and man you are seriously on point. Sadly I am commenting in 2021 where there is a concerted effort from rival fans, the media and broadcasters to diminish, dismiss and hate LH. More people need to see this video although despite the facts staring them in the face, I assume the hate will cloud their judgement. I have been following Lewis ever since he burst onto the scene and recognised instantly that he was special. again in 2021 there are ex team mates Button, Rosberg and has been drivers Alonso, Vettel and ex drivers hill button again who are wading in trying to knock LH achievements. This year has also seen the re-emergence of RedBull who have contributed massively to the toxic hate directed at LH and the entitled MV who just can't accept the greatness of Lewis. The conspiracy theorists say the don't want Lewis to win an 8th title because they don't want a black man to be the GOAT, but people like you with content like this will hopefully prevent that gaining traction. We live in strange time in 2021 but thank you for this video. Respect! I have to add, though I consider Vettel a has been, I regard him as a great because he won 4 WDCs (ironically in the best car at the time). The problem today is those who consider themselves superior don't want equality and these people are solely responsible for the hate just because Lewis advocates it and speaks up about it. Please consider re-uploading this video so the current haters might have to re-evaluate why they hate.
