Lewis Hamilton (Vol. 2)

I'll just point out that it seems George hasn't had the success against Lewis at the start of the season that Nico did 8 years ago.

Hamilton has had many strong team mates. His first team mate in F1 was strong, his current team mate is, there have been a good few along the way. His team mates had 4x wdcs between them and hopefully George will increase that.

I find it interesting that Lewis is criticised for how he compares with team mates, but who else on the grid has had team mates anything like? Do we want to list Max's team mates, and the numbers of race wins between them (can't count wdcs, obviously).

Everyone knows this but his detractors will either ignore it or talk those points down in some way.

He needs to be in the next John Wick as John's getaway driver

That looks a whole load of fun! Lucky git, he certainly knows how to enjoy himself when not at the track.a bloody good shot too, that’s not an easy skill against the clock.

Yes, people practice for years to get to that level, have grown up shooting from a young age…

Just shows how co-ordinated etc he is, which I suppose isn’t a particularly profound thing to say about a Formula 1 champion!

And aside from him being able to apply his F1 qualities to other disciplines, it also shows his ability to listen and learn rapidly, which of course you need to do if you're to get to an impressive level in a short space of time.

Here's another example: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COpGcEiyo-A

Some people just seem to know how to apply themselves very effectively.

After a quick chat.........look at how well he composed himself at AD21. Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Then look at the previous race.

To be honest, being able to steer a remote control car that’s coming towards you has always impressed me.

He is the best that ever walked the earth. From GOAT to BTEWTE

Saw that last night, seriously cringy. Classic American hyperbole. Simply saying he was surprised and deeply impressed would’ve conveyed how highly he rated Lewis’s performance…
We’d just say he was alright in our understated way but know he was more than alright.

I got distracted by the videos of Tetiana. Ticks the "well fit" box no matter what your definition is.

Poor Lewis he's such a figure of fun in the paddock.

7 WDCs
103 Wins
197 Podiums
104 Poles
4650 points

Joining Ferrari for 2025 with hundreds of £ millions in the bank and more to come, where did it all go wrong...

LH will not be a figure of fun provided he times his exit to leave on a high. This really isn’t rocket science nor is it questioning his hall of fame position in F1. My point is that announcing the move to Ferrari at the beginning of the season was/is a dumb move and risks all manner of ridicule to come his way over the next 20 races. A lot of you disagree as some disagreed when I forecasted the same for Vettel and Ricci, but that is fine as no one on the internet is ever right.

My opinion still stands and I’m nigh on certain that unless LH turns this around quickly he’ll be in for a very rough time over the coming next 6/7 months.

Well it's your opinion and you're welcome to it, but I'm struggling to attach your minestrone of words to reality.

I also think that your post is slightly wrong, as I don't think anyone in the paddock is making fun of Lewis because of what he has achieved already, it is pointless to list his CV. I do think, however, that people that question this move are thinking the only unpredictable factor here; Ferrari. The team that has a race strategy drawn by toddlers and sometimes operates in ways fitting a Benny Hill episode...

Obviously Lewis has nothing to lose with this move, he gets paid mega bucks and goes to the most historic team in the world. I'd love it if Lewis went to Ferrari and got the team organised. It would be a win-win obviously, and more so for the sport if Lewis gets his hands in a car capable of challenging for wins. So here's to hoping!

The premise that anyone in that paddock is making fun of Hamilton is absurd, making fun? It's just bloody weird to think such a thing, why would anyone and for what reason, he's had one of the greatest careers and is now off to what many people think is the greatest team for a huge sum of money, he has lived the F1 dream and continues to...apart from Max there isn't one driver that wouldn't take that seat and wage yet apparently people are making fun of him...FFS

Nowt as queer as folk as say.

Easy mate, no need to get upset, it was your post actually. It said "Poor Lewis he's such a figure of fun in the paddock.", clearly sarcastic I bet. My post should have possibly said "as I don't think anyone in the paddock is making fun of Lewis because of what he has achieved already, if at all". Just that, I didn't mean that people make actual fun of him, just replied with the original post in mind. If people would make fun of something, it wouldn't be his past achievements; just his decision to go to Ferrari (for the reason I cited). I thought it was quite obvious, but if not, please accept my explanation above.

You'd have to have serious reading comprehension issues if you thought my first sentence was anything but a sarcastic response to the notion that Lewis is seen as a figure of fun in the paddock.

Well, he certainly is a source of entertainment with his dress sense.

He’s been out in a Skyline again

I see Hamilton is acting like a baby again with the press, he needs some better people around him to coach him. Certainly not showing himself in the best light with his interactions. Amazing he doesn't understand the circus, after being at the centre of it for so long

Still don't care about him I see?

Not very much, no. Do you think he’s handling his transition out of Mercedes well?
