      Whole heartedly agree. Half the haters are young nubee's to F1, and know nothing about these drivers history, especially that of Lewis Hamilton. Everything about the guy today, you can trace back to his years in Karts, all the reasons why he's great. Yes he's always been a gifted driver, but more over, his overwhelming skill was easy to see where it all could lead too. So the big manufactures Ron Dennis and Mclaren as well as Mercedes , long knew who their top pick for drivers would be. people want to say its the car not the driver, well they need to see these races.

    Originally, number 44 was taken from Lewis’s dad car number plate.
    At some early point in his carting, he was told to pick a number to stick on his go-cart
    So he chose the last 2 digits of his dad’s car number plate.
    He won. So he kept the number for next race.
    He won again and again, so he kept the number indefinitely.

    What really stands out to me when it comes to Hamilton's karting career isn't his qualifying pace (bit inconsistent) or his racecraft (which was still excellent), but his race pace, especially in wet conditions. You saw how he went from 4th to the lead in a few laps and he just pulled away after that. He opened a two to three-second gap to 2nd place by the end of the race. I can see why he believed he was better in the races than qualifying back in his early F1 career. Absolutely incredible race pace.

      As a rookie in F1 he was paired with record-young double world champion Fernando Alonso at McLaren. He scored 6 poles to Alonso's 2, lead 321 laps (most of all drivers that year in fact) to Alonso's 203, and scored 9 consecutive podiums from his debut race which still is the record for any driver in his debut season and still the 12th best consecutive podium streak of all time. Due to McLaren's mistake of keeping him out too long with worn tires in China and the early malfunctioning gearbox issue in Brazil he lost a well-deserved rookie title. At any rate he finished 2nd behind Raikkonen with just a single point.
      Those who say he only wins due to his current Mercedes didn't see Hamilton back then and his McLaren days. In 2008 he was leading the point standings for 14 out of the 18 races and his win in the rain at Silverstone where he won the race with 1 minute and 9 seconds over the 2nd placed driver, not even Schumacher's best rain victories ever had such a huge winning margin and neither did Senna's legendary 1985 Portugal win. Senna's 1993 Donington win is better but that's one of the greatest race wins in motor racing history.
      In 2010 a puncture at the Spanish GP on the second last lap denied Hamilton a certain 2nd place finish. 18 more points. Enough to make him 2010 champion in fact. In 2012 McLaren's reliability let him down, he was 15th in reliability among the drivers that year. The Marussia car raced more laps in 2012 (2158 laps) than McLaren (2150 laps).
      People also forget that he put that bad 2009 McLaren on pole 4 times that year, compared to the far superior Brawn car with its blown diffuser and the Red Bull - both of which Button and Vettel put on pole 4 times each.
      As for Mercedes being the best. In 2014-2015-2016. In 2017 and 2018 not so much. The 2017 Ferrari was competitive and arguably better on some tracks. The 2018 Ferrari was the faster car overall but Vettel missed the title through several mistakes. Now we know the power unit of the 2018-2019 Ferraris were illegal which would explain their speed. Nonetheless Hamilton was champion with a legal car, which certainly wasn't clearly the best in 2017 and 2018.
      If the Mercedes team is the best Hamilton has a crucial role in that. A great driver makes a team work harder on all levels. A great driver motivates everybody to do better. This is why Schumacher could rebuild Ferrari but Vettel couldn't.

    Lewis will become the greatest F1 driver of all time. I have watched him through all his formulas. Schumacher, although a great driver, was a cheat. How many times did he shunt his opponents off.

      I'm not about to jump on the "greatest driver of all time" bandwagon, but there can be no doubt that he has an incredible and rare level of talent.
      Lewis has pulled a few unsportsmanlike moves, but they are rare - he simply doesn't have to. And he doesn't have the absolute control regarding his teammates that Schumacher had. Yes, there have been times that Bottas's raise has been compromised for the sake of Lewis, but for the most part, the team plays fair - the driver who is faster on the day gets the preferred strategy. Schumacher's teammates *had to* play second fiddle to him.
      There's no doubt that the complete dominance of Mercedes in the hybrid plays a major role in Hamilton's success - if drivers like Leclerc and Verstappen had a car equal to the Mercedes, he wouldn't be dominating the driver standings like he has been - but dismissing his success as being due simply to the car is nothing but an ignorant denial of his abilities.

      I don't think Hamilton has any desire to do that, he is creating his own legacy, not copying the old ones. Kids of the next generation wont be dreaming of the red car they'll be dreaming of the silver (or black) one.
      Ferrari have a great history, but just being Ferrari isn't good enough anymore. I'd love to see them be the best again, but if we are being honest, I think you'd have to say that it hasn't been the case for a while; 12 years or so.
