Lewis Hamilton G.O.A.T. ?
Discussion
Fabulous display today. A crushing win in an era where 10ths matter.
We’ve been asking this same question now for a few years. Every race he keeps serving up more poles and wins, tyre management and race craft.
Controlled when he needs to be and hammer time when needed. He really is an all round racer. Part Senna part Prost part Schumacher (clean part) with a few other greats thrown in.
I don’t think he’s finished yet, there’s more to come !!
Looking forward to next weekend already

Agreed, today’s race has to rank amongst his most intelligent drives. Outpaced throughout practice by his team mate and then using a different strategy to get an extra lap in Quali to take pole. Not getting flustered by two cars overtaking him in the opening lap of the race and then just steaming past Bottas and heading off into the distance on the same strategy.
Like him or not, you cannot fail to admire the way he can maintain such a high level of pace and racecraft after 14 seasons in F1.

It's been great following him. As a McLaren fan, I followed him from the start. He was awesome in his newbie season, seemed to learn from his mistakes - which I think is where he differs from MV at that age - and progressed steadily, getting the best from some problems cars until he got into the Merc seat. He's always worth watching, even when he's not on the top of his game. We’ve been asking this same question now for a few years.

He's at least as good as any driver of the modern era, and when you take into account the exemplary way he has conducted himself on-circuit, I reckon he pips them all. No blocking drivers from qualifying, no driving into others, and giving praise to the team when he wins.
He owes a lot to the Merc team, especially Lauda and Wolff, but they owe more to him I think.
From now on, if he gets 7, then it's just a matter of numbers I think. He'll have already done it all.
I'm chuffed. I underrate and overrate drivers, but for Hamilton, I said he'd be world champion after the first few races I saw him in. But even getting that right falls to dust as I did not expect him to beat Schuey. Who did?
I'm with Shakespeare who said of those F1 fans who follow us: anyone who did not see Lewis get his 92nd win will think themselves accursed and hold their manhoods cheap. The kid's done good.
That's possibly paraphrased, but it's near enough.
Quite frankly, Hamilton was utterly ridiculous this weekend...almost to the point of churlishness. How could he embarrass his team mate like that? I too was almost ‘annoyed’ by his brilliance (strange thing to say, yes....like ‘baby, you’re too pretty’ 
)
He smashed Bottas with talent and intelligence. And it was with the latter that he made clear, what sets him apart.
After this weekend’s performance I wonder just what the haters can pick on (maybe his earrings..)
Edited: changed Lewis to Hamilton.

.It’s not really an argument to say Jim or Lewis though is it? At best it’s a polite coversation.
Two utterly professional, brilliant, supremely talented men completely at ease in their environment of choice.
Schumacher is an argument. Senna. Prost. Lauda.
It’s a conversation with just Jim.
I personally would add Fangio and Moss.
I would love to see Lewis race other stuff. It’s been quite astonishing seeing Lotterer and The Great Dane do historics and their stunning pace. Lewis in something at the TT or St Marys? Dear God yes.

The guys needs to shut his cake hole and zip it. Just be an F1 driver. It's true to say that to be the best you have to become universally disliked.... and Hamiton and Schumacher are the embodiment of this. Next.
