    The blond hair looks surprisingly cool.



    Yes. Hamilton is by far my favourite driver. Ever since 2007 turn 1 Melbourne when a legend was born overtaking Kubica and Alonso on the outside. Only a few years ago i started looking up his junior category years and its quite an impressive resume. Just look at these stats:

    https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/lewis-hamilton/


    Next race will mark his 50th pole position in Formula 1 and by the end of the year if all goes well he will become the most succesfull British grand prix driver in history by taking becoming a triple world champion.


    Cant wait to read the comments in this section when he does..

    Curious to hear what comments those will be according to you. Few here have doubted his actual talents.

    This is even more impressive....esp when you consider he raced in a crappy benetton before it became good enough to win (with him) then a crappy Ferrari, before it became good enough to win (with him) and then 3 whole years in a crappy Mercedes, where he helped develop a car good enough for even Lewis and Nico to win in :)

    It would be interesting to see the same stats for drivers if you take out the drives in rubbish cars at the start of their careers and in Schumachers, the rubbish car at the end!

    Not many drivers start their F1 career in a top car. Lewis says it himself....he's blessed.

    Uhmm.. i wasnt even talking about Schumacher...yet this guy cant stop himself by going way oftopic too somehow 'prove' Michael had any part in developing those cars. Lmao. He won because he had the best car/unlimited testing/unlimited engines/unlimited budget/unlimited tyre developement/Best team/2nd driver who rolled over on command and defacto number one status/3 full seasons of perfect reliability..



    You know..the same old..'lets bash Lewis' 'talk him down' 'moan and moan about irrelevant things like his hair and clothing like a bunch of broads' 'Elton isn't worthy' 'He doesnt deserve his succes' 'He lucked into a good car' 'He aint talented' 'he's a ****' type of bull. The thing some of you guys are pretty much know for over here, because you are all so damn insecure about yourself.

    Diep triest jullie gasten hier.

    Schumacher who? Schumacher the plant? That guy that got demolished by Nico Rosberg? The same guy who is now being demolished by Lewis? Try harder. If you really think all this childish petty talk will be taken serious you are kidding yourself. I mean seriously how childish can one be?

    Can i ask you how old you are? Daytona?

    No you weren't, but you linked a site that had stats, so I looked at some of the others. It made Lewis look a little less impressive, so you can only blame yourself.

    I didn't imply that Schumacher had any part in developing any cars....you reached that conclusion all by yourself.....but now that you mention it....maybe he did. Unlike Lewis with Mercedes who started winning the second he got into it because the car was just that damn good.

    This makes Lewis look very ordinary....take out Toleman and it would be extraordinary.

    https://www.driverdb.com/drivers/ayrton-senna/

    Thanks for the link, godspeed....very interesting.

    I'd still like to see the stats for all these drivers if the rubbish cars they drove in their career were removed....but it is what it is. Sadly, it just makes it easy for the blinkered lewis fanbois to elevate Lewis to heights that he has not YET achieved.

    schumacher has more talent in his little finger than Elton will ever have, end of story godspeed.

    How old I am has nothing to do with it, anyone can see what a prat Elton the man/boy is. The important thing is I've been involved in racing for almost as long as he has been alive, so I have a good idea what I'm talking about.

    When he came from Mclaren the Mercedes was ****, then he went to Mclaren and suddenly Mercedes is 2nd in the WCC and Mclaren falls back to 5th with Jenson leading the team...All just one big coincedence, like Hugo Boss and all the big sponsors leaving them and joining Mercedes instead or just walking away from F1 as a whole.

    All one big conspiracy...haha

    Keep dreaming boy. Schumacher got his ass handed to him by Rosberg when he wasn't a defacto number 1.

    Well he's only 30 years old still.

    So what racing do you do? I doubt its even noteworthy otherwise you would've mentioned it. Probably a BTCC reject..nothing special..



    Well thats just your opinion man...Lewis has had a far more impressive karting and pre F1 open wheel career than Senna (facts not opinion). Seems you arent aware some events only had 1 race..

    If anything it makes Lewis stand out from all the other F1 drivers even more when you look into the competitions and series he competed in.

    You seem to really have a problem with people giving Lewis credit dont you..
    He will be a triple world champion by the end of the year and the most succesfull British Grand Prix driver in history...Deal with it. ;)

    No...you're absolutely right....if it wasn't for Lewis, Mercedes would be nowhere.



    ^^^p.s. that's sarcasm

    No I certainly do not....I'm just a realist. He's clearly an awesome driver. (aren't they all?)

    I do not, however, believe him to be the god you make him out to be....and contrary to what you allude to, if he was driving a McLaren, he'd be nowhere.

    I think we have plenty of proof that historically, in the wrong car and past WDC will win nothing. Lewis would be no exception.

    Deal with it...them's the facts
