To be fair. Max stole nothing, race directors made a decision and max just drove a car and this season he's proving that he didn't need help to win a championship, he has this seasons in the bag with 8 races left
To be honest, yeah Lewis is a great driver, but he has no personality, he is a hypocrate and a sociopath.. not participating in the secret santa last year, missing grill the grid episodes, and lets not forget what happened yesterday, horrible driving and awareness by lewis. "What an idiot, turning in on me from the outside. This guy only knows how to drive when starting first"
Louis shows such good grace in that truly unbelievable situation. I would not have been able to act that way. I have massive respect for him over the way he handled it. He was raised really good by his father and it shows.
They tried to bring him down because of his skin color, but we all know that the 8 time World Champion will rise again. Next year he will win his 9th and silence all Maxipad fanboys and trolls.
The feeling when your world collapse is the worst feeling ever. Hate him or love him, you need to understand that the situation he was in was heartbreaking. The fact that he had the inner power to stand up and walk forward so gracefully... Not everyone is capable of being this strong
yes! He had the race the whole time (even though he might not deserve the wdc overall). Losing in the last lap after such a dominant race must be more than heartbraking
Lewis I'm a Brit, living in Canada, been an F1 fan since,I think, before you were born. You are THE epitome of class and honour. You did have to get up, you did it with such grace. You're my hero. God Bless Sunshine. Please keep Getting Up!!!!!❤❤❤
One of a kind, the greatest driver in F1 history, an excellent sportsman and a gentleman. It's been a privilege and I am all in on watching him chase his 8th next year.
This is the voice of F1 in Belgium. The great Gaetan Vigneron. Sorry for his baguette-english but in French he is fantastic. Rarely makes a mistake, always calm and collected and widely respected by the drivers.
The best commentator for F1. He’s always excited and knows what he’s talking about while staying very neutral and unbiased. Absolutely love watching him on Tipik
The greatest sportsmanship in the history imo. If that was me I would probably not speak to max, not go on the podium and probably lock myself in a room and destroy everything
@Yuri DeKhed honestly do you actually think max verstappen who has shown bad sportsmanship with stuff he said about lewis last year wouldn’t have done the same at his home gp?
This is why #blessed and Max fans are absolutely the worst. Both fueled by hate to esch other and the rival team #1 driver with the addition of Lewis fans being delusional. Jesus.
You simply have to admire him on this one, he got out the car, shook his hand and shared the podium with him without any tantrums or bad words to say, mercedes rightfully tried to prosecute the fia and Lewis told them not to pursue it any longer, he is a champion at heart as much as he is behind the wheel Sir Lewis 💜
@@powerkingez9682 There was actually quite a lot to go after. The rules were changed during the safety car, lapped cars beteeen two active lap drivers do not under any safety car circumstances have to unlap themselves. If no rules were broken, there would have been no call to Michael Masi from Redbull to change them.
@@powerkingez9682 that explains why the fia demoted masi and came out with a statement claiming it was "human error" its all online to read including the statement from the fia so I don't understand how you can argue against it, nobody blames max for what happened he is a brilliant driver and definitely deserving of a championship it was the FIA that caused the controversy and has the blame on their doorstep, it's actual facts so I can tell you don't really know formula 1 very well
He's so humble and kind, I love him, I'm glad he's still driving, won many awards, amazing driver and a lovely person. Won 7 wdc and he's great🔥😍he will be missed when he retires🥺
I actually like things the way they are now, with the best driver on the grid leading the standings and Lewis still there to keep matters from getting boring. Let's face it, the guy does provide glamour, excitement and comedy to the sport.
Sir Lewis is a true legend. He is so under appreciated, and when he retires there will be hole in the sport. I watch F1 because of Seb, Kimi, Danny, Nico, Jensen and him. It is sad to see them exist the sport one by one.
It's shows wr he comes from. Specially his family and his parents how they nurtured him no matter wat ever happens don't lose your character. Respect the moment. Hugh respect for this man. 🥰😍👏👍👌 And his father.
Where as Max crashed into Lewis in Monza and didn't even care to check if Lewis was okay. The biggest difference between Lewis and Max. Max has aggression only and lacks every good aspect of human being and sportsman.
@@rutpshah dont be delusional. Max didnt crash into lewis on monza, the sausage curb launched him in the air, leaving him to land on lewis. Without sausage curb it wouldve been the same as lewis vs max in imola 2nd corner but roles reversed. Also if you ACTUALLY look at the incident you see max checking on lewis, he sees lewis is trying to reverse so he knows hes ok, he even said that in the interview after. Dont hate on max with reasons that are plain false.
@@rutpshah So... you're admitting that Verstappen is the better driver, when he's able to land a completely airborne car on another car on purpose? Because that is what every crymilton fan keeps whining about, without looking at all the things happening in that moment. And for the last round; Masi did what MB was whining about after Spa; not let a race end behind the safety car. It's what they asked, not what they wanted.
I’m an old guy, a Schumacher fanatic. It was impossible to see his record go. But with time I’ve come to realise Lewis deserved the honour if anyone ever did. He’s a legend.
I love how it was all in his car. He was stuck in that moment and he had to force himself to remember that life goes on. But those few minutes probably felt like months to him
IT was a horible moment for all of us. Lewis is a hero. He didn t recive anything on a silver plate , everything he is now is the result of this talent and of his huge work . I am very happy to be one of the many Lewis s fans . I am very proud of You Lewis . Remember... Never Alone !
@@Querientje indeed not - I was decided by the FIA handing out points at Spa for a race that didn't happen, and then by manipulation of the final lap at AbDab.
@@TheTraveller20081 how about the 1st race where verstappen clearly won won or the 2nd where lewis was out and got 2nd for free or the new pitstop bs regulations what caused monza or silverstone where hamilton gained 32 points for free or baku pirelli bs or bottas hungary bowling and in spa theyclearly stole 12.5 points from verstappen he would have won that easily
that season was just nuts and i doubt we will get another one like that. max and lewis went at it for the whole calendar so you really got to feel for lewis when he was so close to that 8th yet so far at the same time.
Im a tifosi since 2004. But, after saw how Lewis got robbed and defeated last year, I really want Lewis to win one more championship. Edit: sorry for the typo, tifoso
@@rogier3672 you know nothing of the rules lol 😂 exactly y wording was changed for this yrs championship bc it should’ve been one more lap under caution to allow all lapped cars to pass which it wasn’t they allowed some cars but not all causing the race to restart with one last lap
Meanwhile when just the race before when Lewis fairly won the race in jeddah unlike the lucky max kid, Max ran off the podium without shaking hands or congratulating anyone. But SIR Lewis who got robbed when he was a lap ahead during the last lap, he still shows his character is above all fake ones.
Because he knew what happened there was wrong too. Max slowed down to let Lewis through, and for whatever stupid reason, Lewis decided to not overtake his one and only REAL opponent in the race. There is no excuse that can justify Lewis not just passing Max, even the "brakecheck" people are talking about. And Max was far from lucky that season. Lewis was lucky. Lucky that Max crashed and lost a lot of points, or the Championship would have already been wrapped up at Brasil.
Imagine yourself, going to work for a company for 20+ years, grinding hard everyday, starting from the bottom working your way up to the top. You reach the top of the company and one day, your duties are relinquished to someone who has worked for the company for a year with no real rhyme or reason. You did everything right.
You dont show who you are when you win, you show it when you dont and for that moment when he walked up to max, i have huge respect! Yes im from holland and zero hate towards one of the best ever

The reaction of both him, and his dad stuck with me. Can‘t see many other people reacting so fair, after such a BS way to lose. Thats what a real Champion acts and looks like, just to remeber y‘all.
🐂 Its shocking! Niver mind you then find out redbull over spent on the budget cap regardless if you make out it didn't go in the car . It would have made fund's not available that wouldn't have been spent on the car that they say was spent on other things . The F1 world they where so desperate for new champions. because the Media and alot of Fan's where saying was getting boring because Mercedes kept winning. Destroying everyone. niver mind the amount of changes they made to slow Mercedes down years previous that brought them to the title fight its all there ! . Its so sad . Am still angry about it but lewis is a true legend nothing but respect for him inspired ❤ am glad he continue in the sport . Because was so sickening i was ready to stop watching the sport .

To be fair. Max stole nothing, race directors made a decision and max just drove a car and this season he's proving that he didn't need help to win a championship, he has this seasons in the bag with 8 races left
To be honest, yeah Lewis is a great driver, but he has no personality, he is a hypocrate and a sociopath.. not participating in the secret santa last year, missing grill the grid episodes, and lets not forget what happened yesterday, horrible driving and awareness by lewis. "What an idiot, turning in on me from the outside. This guy only knows how to drive when starting first"

One of the single most inspiring scenes in my life time. Lewis handled that situation exceptionally!
Louis shows such good grace in that truly unbelievable situation. I would not have been able to act that way. I have massive respect for him over the way he handled it. He was raised really good by his father and it shows.
Same I'll always remember Lewis and his dad congratulating Max and his dad, next level humanity and sportsmanship
Imagine if it was the other way round? No way max and Jos would do that.
The legend, Lewis Hamilton.
My great grandkids will know his name.
They tried to bring him down because of his skin color, but we all know that the 8 time World Champion will rise again. Next year he will win his 9th and silence all Maxipad fanboys and trolls.
During hard times you will be remembered for how you handled it, not for what happened.
There are so many people who look up to Lewis. My co-workers daughter is a fan of him. I had no idea they even watched Formula 1.
The feeling when your world collapse is the worst feeling ever. Hate him or love him, you need to understand that the situation he was in was heartbreaking. The fact that he had the inner power to stand up and walk forward so gracefully...
Not everyone is capable of being this strong
yes! He had the race the whole time (even though he might not deserve the wdc overall). Losing in the last lap after such a dominant race must be more than heartbraking
Heartbreaking having millions in the bank. And inner power? Some people wont have any power in the uk come december.

Lewis I'm a Brit, living in Canada, been an F1 fan since,I think, before you were born. You are THE epitome of class and honour.
You did have to get up, you did it with such grace. You're my hero. God Bless Sunshine. Please keep Getting Up!!!!!❤❤❤
One of a kind, the greatest driver in F1 history, an excellent sportsman and a gentleman. It's been a privilege and I am all in on watching him chase his 8th next year.
This is the voice of F1 in Belgium. The great Gaetan Vigneron. Sorry for his baguette-english but in French he is fantastic. Rarely makes a mistake, always calm and collected and widely respected by the drivers.
Yes on of the best commentator imo ! he is also the voice of F1 tv in France and I really like him
The best commentator for F1. He’s always excited and knows what he’s talking about while staying very neutral and unbiased. Absolutely love watching him on Tipik
I was wondering who he was. Thank you for saying his name. I will look him up.
@@lalalittle3900 since you wanted to look him up, I bothered to rewrite his firstname correctly. Just in case you would have trouble finding him😅
@@Roguescienceguy Thanks! Appreciate it.
The greatest sportsmanship in the history imo. If that was me I would probably not speak to max, not go on the podium and probably lock myself in a room and destroy everything
czcams.com/video/OS6kN8p5NiA/video.html
Sure...
@Yuri DeKhed the last thing I can't recall. When was that?
Never mind, found it: 09, Trulli.
@Yuri DeKhed honestly do you actually think max verstappen who has shown bad sportsmanship with stuff he said about lewis last year wouldn’t have done the same at his home gp?
This is why #blessed and Max fans are absolutely the worst. Both fueled by hate to esch other and the rival team #1 driver with the addition of Lewis fans being delusional. Jesus.
Other athlete's can learn from the example Lewis gave that day. Always with respect and grace, a true legend and champion.❤ lots of love Lewis 💖
Thank you Mr Hamilton for being a honorble man
You simply have to admire him on this one, he got out the car, shook his hand and shared the podium with him without any tantrums or bad words to say, mercedes rightfully tried to prosecute the fia and Lewis told them not to pursue it any longer, he is a champion at heart as much as he is behind the wheel
Sir Lewis 💜
Lewis told them? 😂 There was nothing to go after there wasent any rules broken and they knew it, it was 100% for the public look and to save face
@@powerkingez9682 There was actually quite a lot to go after. The rules were changed during the safety car, lapped cars beteeen two active lap drivers do not under any safety car circumstances have to unlap themselves. If no rules were broken, there would have been no call to Michael Masi from Redbull to change them.
@@powerkingez9682 that explains why the fia demoted masi and came out with a statement claiming it was "human error" its all online to read including the statement from the fia so I don't understand how you can argue against it, nobody blames max for what happened he is a brilliant driver and definitely deserving of a championship it was the FIA that caused the controversy and has the blame on their doorstep, it's actual facts so I can tell you don't really know formula 1 very well
@@powerkingez9682 I hate it when peasants get opinions. Stick to the fields
@@powerkingez9682 yeah but I wonder why masi got fired I guess he started watching f1 through dts just like you
Lewis is not just a champion driver, he is an honorable and respectable person as well
That right there, is a true champion.
He's so humble and kind, I love him, I'm glad he's still driving, won many awards, amazing driver and a lovely person. Won 7 wdc and he's great🔥😍he will be missed when he retires🥺
Simply a Legend 🙏🏾
Will be a very sad day when Lewis calls it a day, an absolute gent and legend. 🇬🇧🙌🐐💜🏁
I actually like things the way they are now, with the best driver on the grid leading the standings and Lewis still there to keep matters from getting boring. Let's face it, the guy does provide glamour, excitement and comedy to the sport.
Lewis Is Thee GOAT🐐

@@mbalimthembu8071 maybe you should first learn about the drivers I named before you think that.
Sir Lewis is a true legend. He is so under appreciated, and when he retires there will be hole in the sport. I watch F1 because of Seb, Kimi, Danny, Nico, Jensen and him. It is sad to see them exist the sport one by one.
How's he underappreciated? Should we all kneel in front of him or what?
'Is he right behind me....?
On fresh tyres..?'
Lewis at Abu Dhabi 21 & Zandvoort 22
It's shows wr he comes from. Specially his family and his parents how they nurtured him no matter wat ever happens don't lose your character. Respect the moment. Hugh respect for this man. 🥰😍👏👍👌 And his father.
Where as Max crashed into Lewis in Monza and didn't even care to check if Lewis was okay. The biggest difference between Lewis and Max. Max has aggression only and lacks every good aspect of human being and sportsman.
@@rutpshah dont be delusional. Max didnt crash into lewis on monza, the sausage curb launched him in the air, leaving him to land on lewis. Without sausage curb it wouldve been the same as lewis vs max in imola 2nd corner but roles reversed.
Also if you ACTUALLY look at the incident you see max checking on lewis, he sees lewis is trying to reverse so he knows hes ok, he even said that in the interview after.
Dont hate on max with reasons that are plain false.
@@rutpshah
So... you're admitting that Verstappen is the better driver, when he's able to land a completely airborne car on another car on purpose?
Because that is what every crymilton fan keeps whining about, without looking at all the things happening in that moment.
And for the last round; Masi did what MB was whining about after Spa; not let a race end behind the safety car. It's what they asked, not what they wanted.
Like him?.. he is the greatest of this generation..period.
How long is a generation, because if Lewis generation carries on for another 5 years, max will pass him out.
@@BirrDetonator1989 wtf are you saying
You mean his car is the greatest in this generation
@@BirrDetonator1989 But even If Max wins the championship for the next 5 years, that would still leave him 1 behind Lewis?
@@WrongEnd Found another ignorant🤦🤦
Lewis is a great man. A very kind person. I am so grateful i knew him. I learned the biggest lessons in my life, just watching him... ❤️
You mean how to be fake and a cheater?
That was a totally masterclass. I suppose it was even harder than win a WDC. Heroes are bigger than Champions! That was the moment!
“In that moment, my world collapsed” 😢
I have always believed Hamilton is one of the best person on the planet.
Reason why Lewis chose F1 racing over his greatest love of ballet dancing is that he can't blame his tutu skirt if something doesn't go his way
I’m an old guy, a Schumacher fanatic. It was impossible to see his record go. But with time I’ve come to realise Lewis deserved the honour if anyone ever did. He’s a legend.
Verstappen would have killed someone if he was the one to be robbed of the title.
And Horner would of secretly disposed of the body, because Max could do no wrong in his eyes 😂😂

Never missed an F1 race for 40+ years, not watched an F1 race since that race . F1 is dead to me, absolute disgrace.
Yeah! Same for me. The only thing that makes sports worth watching is the fairness in how the rules are applied.
A hero, a champion, the face and heart of the sport and one of the greatest drivers ever. Much respect to Sir Lewis for the human he is. 💜
Lewis is a true Champion and a Gentleman!
The Undisputed Sir 🙏🏻
Respect for Lewis Hamilton. 'It's the way you get up, not how you fall'
Thank you Lewis :)
I love how it was all in his car. He was stuck in that moment and he had to force himself to remember that life goes on. But those few minutes probably felt like months to him
Exactly it's how you get up inspirational
This man has driven like a legend. He shattered all expectations
Great sportsman. Best racing driver ever.
I'm a F1 Fan so I like them all dearly, that was painful cause you can see him broken and I was happy for Max also.
Lewis have done a lot for F1.
Still I rise

Lewis Hamilton: 8x WDC Champ, Hero, Legend. Still grounded, still humble, still rising. Roll on '25.
That moment made him immortal the way he handled this situation.
Meanwhile when just the race before when Lewis fairly won the race in jeddah unlike the lucky max kid, Max ran off the podium without shaking hands or congratulating anyone. But SIR Lewis who got robbed when he was a lap ahead during the last lap, he still shows his character is above all fake ones.
My man tell me your a team lh Stan without telling me your a team lh fan
Yeah, Max was so lucky in Baku, Silverstone and Hungary.
Because he knew what happened there was wrong too. Max slowed down to let Lewis through, and for whatever stupid reason, Lewis decided to not overtake his one and only REAL opponent in the race. There is no excuse that can justify Lewis not just passing Max, even the "brakecheck" people are talking about.
And Max was far from lucky that season. Lewis was lucky. Lucky that Max crashed and lost a lot of points, or the Championship would have already been wrapped up at Brasil.
In many eyes he’s the Hero and the Champion! 💯
He has achieved so much that I can't grasp why he'd feel his world collapsing from losing out on an 8th championship tbh.
Imagine yourself, going to work for a company for 20+ years, grinding hard everyday, starting from the bottom working your way up to the top. You reach the top of the company and one day, your duties are relinquished to someone who has worked for the company for a year with no real rhyme or reason. You did everything right.
Athletes at this level are competitive to their core. Past successes are nice, but mean nothing to the present moment, the present competition.
im a lando fan and i like max a bit and just seeing lewis like that just broke my heart hope he wins his 8th soon
Lewis the real champion🥺❤
"it's not how u fall but how u get up"- LH
You dont show who you are when you win, you show it when you dont and for that moment when he walked up to max, i have huge respect! Yes im from holland and zero hate towards one of the best ever
Lewis will achieve much more than hus 8th wdc. He got such great character.
True person, true champ
Always a champion. Forever a hero.
Lewis is a Hero. He lost the championship but won the game.

This was the day F1 died for me .
Maximum respect to Lewis he handled it perfectly
No Mikey Nooooooooooooo 😂😂😂😂
🐂 Its shocking! Niver mind you then find out redbull over spent on the budget cap regardless if you make out it didn't go in the car . It would have made fund's not available that wouldn't have been spent on the car that they say was spent on other things . The F1 world they where so desperate for new champions. because the Media and alot of Fan's where saying was getting boring because Mercedes kept winning. Destroying everyone. niver mind the amount of changes they made to slow Mercedes down years previous that brought them to the title fight its all there ! . Its so sad . Am still angry about it but lewis is a true legend nothing but respect for him inspired ❤ am glad he continue in the sport . Because was so sickening i was ready to stop watching the sport . After 20 years of supporting it
