Lewis is still the better driver, I hope Mercedes figure the car out and take what they learn into 2024

I would not call the Mercedes top midfield. It's outright there in the top 3 teams. Far above the midfield. Thing is with Lewis, if you get a dominant car and teammates who are clearly appointed to let you through, you get lazy.

@@FrancisFjordCupola when I say top midfield...it means the battling for 3rd on the podium, without an driver error or DNF from the race winners. Let's be honest, Mercedes had hit and miss moments since the new regulations. Lewis is an phenomenal driver still, but that car is a long ways backwards from the W11

Yes lets pretend that its just the redbull car and not the dutch guy driving it which makes it unbeatable at the moment.

@@FrancisFjordCupola yeah no, that car was behind mclaren aston and ferrari in the beginning to middle of the season. Only recently has it seen better form

It's always the car and driver. Have to have the car first and then a driver that can extract what the car can give to win countless races. When the season has multiple strong cars, then it is the driver that can extract the most out of their car.

I agree with you on this one, 100%. It always baffled me why he had to go...

Lewis has set the last pole position in a far inferior car as the RedBull. Verstappen isn't faster than Lewis, especially on qualifications. Only his car is.

@@flom1951 Actually, Verstappen has been faster than Lewis in every bit of the race weekend... For all this season. But you may be right... It's his car (too), as Lewis was faster all these years thanks to his Mercedes... The same with everyone.

@@joaobranco2164 And Lewis was faster than Verstappen last weekend (Austin GP) with an inferior Mercedes car...

​@@joaobranco2164exactly I a lewis fan but if 2 drivers go into a finaly level on points I think it's pretty obvious they're as good as eachother and ppl either think it's only the car or only the driver which makes good performances but it's both

@@flom1951Yeah and Lewis got DSQed because of the car being illegal and Max was able to hold him off with faulty brakes. Your point?

He is still an excellent racer

Agreed, most likely at the next race he will pip Alonso for third in the championship. The dominant Red Bull aside, Lewis is the standout driver so far this year

@@samwarrilow2881 why leave the dominant redbull aside? The standout driver is Verstappen not lewis

Underrated by who?

Lewis is racing until 2026 I guess

Yes he is past his prime, it happens to everybody

he's getting old and cranky, gears starting to creak

He had never a prime, he just had a car 1 sec faster than the rest for 8 seasons! 14 wins in his first 7 seasons and then the overpowered 2014 Mercedes came and carried his career!@@Ricardo.ES91

@@Ricardo.ES91there’s no evidence of him being past his prime.

Good point

*Red Bull, he's beat Max before

@@NeverwascooLmax beats his teammate who is in the same car by a massive margin, the highest I can remember is 20 whole seconds

TL:WR; Lewis in the Redbull would still be top Long read In 2021, F1 changed its regulations thus affected Mercedes' low rake concept. However, Mercedes and Hamilton fought till the last race until the Massicre that was the last lap. If Charlie was still at the helm it'd been 8 for both LH44 and Merc. Coming to the new regs, Honda knowing they were to exit, which they aren't, were given "leeway" to develop their engine despite the development freeze. This gave them the rocket ship that is their engine. Combine that with Adrian Newey's big brain design and bam! An engineering master piece. So from 2022 onwards it's just Redbull top. And Max being Max, he drives the f out of that piece of art. In conclusion, Merc were not blind sided by Max, Max is a generational talent but Lewis is just something else. A bona fide GOAT

@@moiseulpasmoi I doubt, that it would have been a titel, because Lewis was only close due to among other things Silverstone and Hungary.

no need to add .... superior car

@@ceesenmechelienlaureijs4616 it is a superior car though. It's important not because he wins, but because of how much he wins by. He has the technique to maximize the car, and the car to maximize his technique.

hamilton aka Crymilton fans are low iq mentally deranged clowns

the whole field is in a bad car, even perez… only Max has a good car….. or is there skill in play too?

Totally agree.

Not Lando

Not neccesarily, remember when Russell drove Hamilton s car in Bahrain 2020, a car made for Hamilton s height, style of driving, he made a good job and If he hadn t pitted,he would have won the race or at least a podium.And Leclerc is not a random driver, signing Ferrari after just one year in f1 and scored 2 victories, the way he held back both Mercedes cars in Monza 2019 tells a lot about his talent and potential but unfortunally his team got caught with that illegal system,fuel flow rake and from that moment on, its team could not order him a car at the level of his talent,until 2022(first half of season) when he made some mistakes but his team screwed him with idiotic strategies. Put Hamilton or Verstappen in a car that reaches its peak at 4th in wcc and you ll see the same we saw about Leclerc,Norris,Alonso or Sainz.Actually Hamilton have proved it in 2022,crying on the radio about the car while Russell was scored 2 poles and one victory.A champion is a champion no matter how good/bad his car is.If they are able to score so many in the best car on the grid and in an average car does nothing more than crying and making rookie mistakes,it means he is not a champion but a lucky driver who had a championship winning car.

@vladaltreilea1431 look, I'm not exactly Hamilton biggest fan, but you can't deny he's one of the best drivers on the grid. Saying he's lucky and it's all the car is just disingenuous. You don't become 7x champ by being lucky. Hes beating Russell now pretty much every week, and they're both in the same car. What's your excuse for that?

@@stevedoe8622 the excuses are the same as Hamilton fans used last year when Russell performed better than him. And as i said,he is the luckiest driver ever in this sport,i don t deny his skills and talent,he is one of the greatest from his generation but, as talented and skilled like him was(and still is) Alonso,as well Vettel in the years he had a title challanger car, or Jenson Button,Raikkonen but the difference beetwen them and Lewis was Lewis’ Incredible luck.Remember his 1st title, If Glock wouldn t had a car issue(or whatever his reason for driving so slow was), Hamilton wouldn t have won in 2008.As well his move from McLaren to Mercedes in 2013.Coming to a team that was developing the new type of engine years before 2014 and when the season started, everybody but Mercedes got caught unprepared for it.If you can t call lucky a driver signing a team that will be the only titles challangers in a lack of competition conditions.Just imagine If Vettel would have left Red Bull for Mercedes in 2014, or Alonso.

I think lando would fight with him

that was the year i came back to watch f1 it was toss up for me between max and fernando then brazil happpened...

He also can't handle the fact he was also beaten by a lesser car.

He literally fought people in better in cars 2009,2010,2011,2012,2013 ur point makes no sense a driver who is a winner like Lewis and Michael always want the most competitive car same as vettel and Alonso they complained when the team didn’t listen to them or the car was shit, So stop this brain dead thought of yours.

yea he is a good better average driver, but not a goat at all. All drivers were actually very close to him...

Every f1 champion EVER needs the best car to win the title you goddamn retard

Lol Lewis is the goat man.

Yes, I agree , cause he is 7 times Champion Of The World, that means he is still a goat from the nostalgia times.❤

yeah man. just an excuse to have a beat off session about hamilton

There are answers with this though. Max started karting quite a few years younger than lewis. So max has more skill I haven't watched F1 last decade but the answer seems to be the car and max entering. Maybe Lewis is performing the same as well. Kinda over hyped business especially with the hate.

You forgot the guy who arguably lost 2 championships because of malfunctions, and had great results in a damn Sauber and Lotus.

Thanks a lot mate ❤️ the videos will keep getting better 👍🏻

He inherited the car from MS… who did the same for Mercedes as he did for Ferrari: drastically improve car and team

Both correct, the team and car were being fine tuned and then came the already advanced engine. Pastor Maldonado could have won 7 driver’s championships in that car. Hamilton is a decent driver but the reality is that there have been many more talented than him in his career. Almost all of the truly remarkable drivers started in turd bucket cars and teams and still dazzled with their talent. Hamilton started at the top, was favored by his team because he had been a junior member since becoming a teenager by none other than Ron Dennis, and yet was only on par with established drivers. Unfortunately, those that only look at how many wins one has will never realize the talent of truly great drivers eg:Jim Clark, Gilles Villenueve, Aryton Senna etc.

3rd behind a bum 2nd driver and a so far unbeatable champion keep being a pathetic hater though 😂

@@sportyspI’ve never understood this giving the credit for cars being good to the driver sorry dude no, THE PEOPLE IN THE FACTORY MAKE THE CAR FAST the best the drivers can do is give feedback and try not to put the car in the wall, I don’t understand we’re the idea that drivers develop the car came from

@@pierre7275So, lacking the talent to come even close to those two... How would he faired if AM and McLaren had their shit together from day 1? I think he'd be lucky if he even ended in the top 5. If you look at the "mistakes" he has made since he doesn't race far ahead of everybody, it shows lack of real skills for F1. Or like the old fox said in Spa '22; he can only race from the front.

Your statement was proven wrong in 2021

I disagree

I'd agree. Lewis is no where near the pace of Max as of accurrent. Only way I see him being competitive again at his age is for Toto to pull a finger out and start steering the W-15, 16 and onwards into the Redbull's Direction.

Dear god what did i just read 😅

@@Ham____44 The truth, that fanboys unable to comprehend in their bubble.

@@fixipszikon6670 aint easy for you 💀

@@Ham____44 Unfortunatelly. Stupid people do not argue with facts, only with personal attacks, and now they are everywhere. So you are right. It is only easy for stupid people, so good for you.

Delusional Lewis fanboy! Russell beat your average driver in 2022 in his first season with Mercedes! Keep finding excuses to 2016! Talk to us about Rosberg DNFs in 2014 & 2015 then? Hamilton is a lucky average driver who got carried by the most dominant car in F1 history for 8 seasons! 14 wins in his first 7 seasons and then in 2014 Mercedes built a car 1 sec faster than the rest!

Mercedes have enough money to max out the budget cap regardless of how much Hamilton costs. Paying him less would not allow them to pump more into R&D. Pre budget cap you have a valid point though.

Driver salaries don't play into the cost cap

Deep down, Mercedes know it's only a matter of time before they start to resurface from it's fledgling stance and start to fight competitively again. They did it in 2013, and I think it's that mindset of having to return to "how do we get better" instead of "how do we stop the others from getting better" that's starting to ripple inbetween the works of the AMG. They're clearly going the right direction, but they need to speed it up before Lewis starts to look at faster, higher competitors, like McLaren or (as mentioned) Ferrari.

@@tylerplayzz8697they do

You make it sound like Lewis is no match for Verstappen or Schumacher. Truth is, those three are so close to each other in terms of raw pace you got to put them all in the same car in order to find out who is faster.

He was thought of as F1’s most exciting driver since his rookie year a good 7 years before the hybrid era tbf. If he didn’t go to Mercedes in 2013, you can bet he’d have been hired by them or Ferrari or Red Bull not long after. If he went to Ferrari he’d likely be a 2 or 3 time champion because of 2017 and especially 2018 because the difference there was the driver more than the car, and if he went to RedBull he’d at least be in 3 serious title fights between ‘21 and now. There’s no version of events where he doesn’t go down as one of the greats.

Nah my friend, you are wrong (like many). Like many Mercedes fans 😉. It was Mercedes who had the most dominant car for years and years. Red Bull finally has a car that is at least as good, but they have the goat driver. WAY to lame to blame that on the car (esp as a Mercedes fan) only.

I think it's just how Max's pace has developed that's started to overwhelm the many drivers of the grid. Oscar Piastri, for example, stated on the P1 podcast that, "When you have Max and that RedBull behind you, it's not a matter of if he gets past it's *when.*" Lewis is starting to get dragged behind as Max gets indefinitely better. It's like they've swapped roles from the 2016 season.

The redbull was faster at times same goes for the merc stop pushing false narratives

@@pierre7275 The car doesn't really understate the driver, Michael Schumacher won against Aryton Senna at Spa, (In the rocketship of the '90s Mclaren) by simply being the better driver. Car definitely has value, but the driver is the overall dominating factor inbetween battles.

@@SomeoneProbably. gonna ignore the fact you said Michael was a better driver than senna Michael is is legend along with ham but never better then senna second that mclaren had problems that race

@@SomeoneProbably.and your logic is skewed a williamns can’t beat a redbull no matter how good the driver is, that bad logic. the driver is only as fast as the car will let them be. Prime example Nando his bad career decisions led him into teams with mediocre cars he very well could have won more titles given a good car

One of the Top 3 drivers on the grid. Who is currently in a shitty car by Mercedes standards and beating George(regarded as a future world champion by many) consistently. Maybe you should stick to football and dont make stupid remarks of a sport you know nothing about.

Lol he signed with ferrari

delusional fanboy hahaha! average driver carried by the most dominant car in F1 history for 8 seasons

ik ur probably thinking of austria when typing this, and i kinda agree, but theres a difference between the car just not having the pace, and the car being undriveable. in austria, the car "just won't turn", in ham's words. Which caused him to get 15 seconds of penalties for track limits. Meanwhile in the rest of the races, u can see the car was ok but just not fast. And those times, hamilton didn't complain as much. Basically, he cares a lot for the driveability of the car, just like any driver. The same reason why max complains quite a lot, even with a car that is one of the most dominant in the history of f1.

@@musicalchicken1024 Yeah fair point, I just thought the fact that Toto had to get on the radio to tell him to just please drive the car was a bit frustrating to hear. I do get it though, you want to be competitive and have a car that can at least turn properly lol. I get both sides, but sometimes it can get a bit much from my perspective.

Slow down yet he got pole last weekend… okay.

Max was not better in 2021, he was a massive dirty driver and got lucky. Silverstone was his own fault, he caused the Monza crash nearly killing Lewis, he brake checked Lewis in Jeddah, he tried taking Lewis out in Brazil by running him off the track. Hamiltons only mistake was Baku. Additionally, Michael Masi massively manipulated that season with horrible race decisions.

⁠@@Seirra117ofTheUNSCyes,you are right, and i think is Verstappen s fault in Imola 2021 for Hamilton getting out of track and Baku as well,i still remember when the cameras were filming, Verstappen after being out of the race, on the restart, saw Hamilton not watching his steering wheel, got on track,pressed the magic touch and ran away without being seen.
