    “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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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.

    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.
