Lewis Hamilton

Steve Copeland.....one of the top 5 drummers/percussionist of the 70's, 80's, & 90's.

 

Totally agree with that! One could also include Neil Peart (RIP), John Bohnam (made it through the 70s), Keith Moon (didn't make it through the 70s), and the Colombo V12 to keep it Ferrari related

 

I don't know about Steve Copeland, but Stewart Copeland was excellent.

BTW, Stewart's brother Miles was the manager of the group.

 

My damn auto correct gets me now and then.

 

Choose your legendary pair :
Senna/Prost or Hamilton/Bottas ?

 

Man ,this is a tough one ...need awhile to consider it

 

HAUG: WHAT LEWIS HAS ACHIEVED IS UNLIKELY TO BE REPEATED

https://www.grandprix247.com/2020/08/24/haug-what-lewis-has-achieved-is-unlikely-to-be-repeated/
Norbert Haug was one of the key players in getting Mercedes back into motorsport and eventually Formula 1 after decades on the sidelines, the manufacturer avoiding racing programmes on an official basis in the wake of the 1955 Le Mans disaster.

In 1990, Haug started with Mercedes and since then oversaw the manufacturer’s Formula 1 engine supply programme, sportscar and Le Mans project with Sauber, DTM and other GT programmes, and of course the McLaren F1 partnership which coincided with the rise-and-rise of Lewis Hamilton.
Speaking to F1-Insider, Haug stated, “For ages, it was unimaginable that Michael’s previously unique record would ever be overtaken or even surpassed. But if you paid attention, it became clear two years ago at the latest that Lewis is on the very best path to surpass all existing Formula 1 records.
“Michael never had such a superior environment and such an unrivalled racing car as Lewis finds at Mercedes. Which should by no means diminish the great performance of this man and exceptional driver, whom I have accompanied from karting to Formula Renault, Formula 3, GP2 to Formula 1, and then his first pole position, his first victory at the GP Canada 2007 and his first world championship win in 2008.

“What Lewis has shown in terms of consistency and ability in Formula 1 for 14 years now, is simply unique and has never been there before. And in my estimation, it will most likely never be repeated.”

Hamilton has been part of the Mercedes ‘family’ since his early teens, and very much a product of the programme to help drivers make it through the feeder series with F1 the ultimate goal..
Haug explained, “Lewis did not fall from the sky into the kart as a potential world champion. It is well known that he grew up in modest circumstances.
“His father Anthony is the main blacksmith and the cornerstone of Lewis’ success story. Without his tireless work to earn money for his son’s sport, the successful basis could never have been created. What Lewis knows, of course, and what he will be eternally grateful to his father for.
“The young Lewis was already special when he was our guest at Mika Häkkinen’s world championship celebration at the Mercedes Museum in Stuttgart at the age of 14; he was polite, well behaved, he wasn’t the focus of course but he was happy and proud to be there,” recalled the former Mercedes motorsport boss.

 

I know, how to choose between Senna and Prost or Crapilton and Buttler!!! I feel so divided!

 

Choose your legendary pair :
Senna/Prost or Schumacher/Barrichello ?

 

You should have picked a diferent pair, let's say, Elton and Teflonso, or Elton and Nico, that would have made things more even...but still we could never compare them to other top partnerships.
I guess Senna and Prost is the most famous, and probably the most complete, of course there were others like Jimmy and Graham, Jody and Gilles, Prost and Niki, Emerson and Ronnie, Mario and Ronnie, oh and of course, fangio and Moss, perhaps the best of them all.

 

All very nice.

However, if Red Bull can create a contender, Max is young enough to surpass the Mercedes records with Hamilton.

Nobody thought Schumacher's records would be matched, despite the Ferrari only being dominant for 3 years.

 

Agreed most records will be beaten. There will be a kid WC at 20, wirh a 25 races per season etc. It’s just how life goes.
Can’t compare eras apples for apples

Schumacher/Ferrari

 

Agree the domination displayed by Mercedes will remain unique in history

 

Why is there a thread for, or about Louise on Ferrarichat? What does he have to do with Ferrari?

 

Nahh, we just like to mess around with the little mermaid! Image Unavailable, Please Login

 

So the Trolls can pretend to feel at home

 

Why not Hamilton/Verstapen ?

 

Impossible
Hammy would not want that

 

There are several threads on Hamilton in this F1 forum on Ferrarichat.

One isn't enough for all the flak some people want to dish him, apparently.

 

Well, he keeps beating them. Maybe that's it?

 

One of all the unspeakable reasons, isn't it ?

 

Mercedes was dominate in the 50s until the tragic accident at Le mans in 1955.

 

Agree but not in these proportions and so long

 

Love the logic, very good point.
