mercedes: from being the 4th best team to fighting for wins
ferrari: from fighting for wins to being the 4th best team💀💀
Master🅱️lan
🤌🤌so much 🅱️ain
Not a Ferrari fan but their car is definitely quick they just suffer from bouncing and ride problems like the RB20.
The Ferrari will go quicker under its preferred conditions, than the Mercedes will in its preferred conditions.
Mercedes have the better drivers maybe not the quicker car quite yet,
@@sleepyumiFerrari's preferred conditions were hungary and yet they were still 4th fastest
Ying Yang
Mercedes having more wins than McLaren really says something
Reminds me of 2012 season. They are bottling it again
@@Mohagnito94 except it's strategy, not reliability
@@Mohagnito94 This. People are giving Ferrari heat for 2022 but McLaren lookin worse rn.
Merc really maximizes its performance unlike McLaren.
@@F1ll1nTh3BlanksWorse is a bit too harsh, at least McLaren knows an F1 car needs four tires
But yeah, it’s bad…and it doesn’t get criticised nearly enough because Norris individually cocks up so much as well😂
The performances by Lewis in Spa and Silverstone, Max in Spain, Canada and Imola is what separates the great (Lewis and Max) from Lando Norris (Where he probably had the fastest car in all of the races), I genuinely don't believe Lando has what it takes to be an all time great. Piastri is coming fast aswell.
Norris is (probably) able to win a championship if everything comes together for him, but I don't think he is a multiple WDC calibre driver. Piastri on the other hand looks like a future threat, too early to say if he will be an all time great, but his ceiling looks to be higher than that of Norris
@@sheeshman9713would agree with you there, interesting to see how it all plays out for sure
Piastri's form will unsettle Norris. A time will come where Piastri will dominate Norris.
Why are people hyping up Lewis's Spa race? He cocked up turn 1 multiple times in his final stint and thus wasn't able to overtake George who was on a much more wofn set of tires.
@@demiladeagboola2768 if Oscar pulls ahead in points this season then I'd go as far to say Lando will never win a WDC as long as he and Oscar both stay in McLaren and the team doesn't outright favor him with orders.
I think 2023 was one of Lewis’s most impressive seasons in his career, because is performance and consistency relative to the car. He was fighting for p2 in the championship in a car that had no business to be doing so. He also decisively beat George, and finished ahead of both Ferraris.
he still had the fastest car. check qualifying for all of 23. higher top speeds as well. max is just superior.
@@mikekovacich2925 Mercedes did not have the fastest car in 2023.
Average DTS fanboy 😂@@mikekovacich2925
i wouldnt say “fighting for p2” when perez was trying his hardest to lose it and in the end still finished like 50+ points ahead of Hamilton. that mercedes was the 2nd most consistent car (behind Red Bull obviously) so they should be fighting for 3-4 in the standings in an ideal scenario. Aston martin fell off hard. McLaren were good but too late and even when they were faster tan mercedes it was the smallest margin like mercedes would still be the 3rd fastest car and they never had a car as bad as the mclaren in the beginning of the year. Ferrari is Ferrari. Russell underperformed that year
@@dido5317 ok so Lewis performed better than every other driver except max and had a solid year and finished p3 in the standings. Was quicker than the drivers with cars on par with or quicker than his when it mattered. No need to do mental gymnastics to find away to take that away from him
I love this season because all of those who were saying it’s just the car have to eat humble pie and that includes the fumbler NORRIS
Lando FumbleAllWins
… it was still just a car and Norris has nothing to do with it 😉
Well clearly it is the car. If it wasn't then why has it taken a 7 time world champion over 2 years to win a race?
@@TypeRTeg explain to me why Alonso hasn’t won in 11 years then you get to me about Lewis
@@addicted2247 Because he hasn't had a car capable of winning, simple. Racing is always 95% the car, don't act like the Merc is the 4th best car and Lewis is making the difference because he isn't. More often than not George is the quicker driver.
Hamilton’s driving over these past three years has given me so much respect for his seven championships. It wasn’t just the car, the car was simply good enough that it was never a performance bottleneck. It was Hamilton (and Rosberg) who took those Mercedes cars to seven consecutive titles. Put Bottas and Perez in those cars for seven years, and I doubt they win all seven championships from 2014 to 2020.
Hamilton was insane before 2014 as well dont forget - always outperforming his car
Comical . He double his points from 2013 to 2014. That’s a massive leap in points for something that’s based off talant and not the car. Now does he have skills , sure he does …. But to say majority of his wins weren’t because of the car is comical when even paddy Lowe spoke on how much of a advantage they had coming into the hybrid era. They ran the car in what they called idle mode for qualifying and it was still ahead of all the teams in power.
and if lewis's engine hadn't failed in malaysia 2016 he is 8 time champion
Are you joking? The Merc was the most dominant car in F1 history from 2014 to 2021. The constructors championship was not even close. Max beat Lewis even though the Merc was faster. Hamilton is great but you lose credibility when you claim his car wasn’t dominant. Just look at what Bottas did in that car and even George Russell when he jumped in it for one race.
@@groundhabit6408Yeah obviously the better car with a great driver is gonna do far better in the points, look at Max in 2023 compared to 2020 and 2021, 2021 RB had the marginally better car and he barely wins, 2023 had the Best car on the grid by miles and he wins the championship by miles.
Every talented driver will show what a car is truly capable of across a season.
If Lewis or George where in the McLaren this year , there would be a championship fight
Agree, I think GR has such a good strong minded attitude that Lando lacks, I know some may disagree but that’s just my opinion
I completely disagree with the Russell argument. He still has too many mistakes in him.
💯💯💯
@@demiladeagboola2768seen Lando make more this year
Not a chance. The whole reason McLaren are failing is they cant strategize.
It's incredible to see that the 3rd fastest car currently in F1 has more wins than McLaren, who've had arguably the most chances of winning a race since Miami.
yh mclaren bottled spain canada austria silverstone whilst merc nailed the win each time they had the best car arguably apart from canada
The second fastest and third fastest cars have more than mclaren since the miami upgrades (with the 2nd/3rd fastest car winning being only due to verstappen, depends how quick you think the red bull is) and the fourth fastest is only one win behind so when you put it like that mclaren have struggled immensely
People forget though that Mercedes has been top 2 quickest car in qualifying for these races. Bar Hungary, McLaren have had the quickest car in the race, but probably 3rd in quali, which makes it difficult to overtake when the field is so close and there is not a clear pace advantage. Obviously strategy has been well documented and ripped apart as well
It's the fastest car, what's with this 'theory'??
This is what seprate guys like lewis,max,seb, alonso whenever the have the fastest car even by a smaller margin they make it look easy but i can't see lando doing same atleast for now he could have really reduced max's lead in the driver championship till now but was unable to do it lets see what can he do in the 2nd half of the season.
McLaren's tomfoolery reminds me of their last truly competetive year in 2012 - arguably the fastest car on the grid, but doing everything to throw away a shot at the championship (poor reliability, awful pitstops...)
Mclaren channeling their inner 2022 Ferrari
2012 was one of Lewis' very best seasons, he as a driver was nearly flawless that year but he lost so many points through no fault of his own that if you undid every driver's bad luck that year (not just Lewis') then he would have been the 2012 champion. Immense bounce back from his poor personal performance in 2011.
on average performance McLaren had the quickest car that season but operational and reliability problems was why Hamilton was never in the title fight
Hamilton is the greatest driver of all time, and he has proven it every year since his first. The last few races have shown this, and the fact that he is nearing the end of his career (you would think) and still this fast is incredible.
Nope, Max is. If lulu was that so-called GOAT of yours, it would have locked in the most dominant season for a driver ever. Max has done that last year, not lulu. Max might not have the stats like the Micheal has (lulu's don't count because of that cheat of an engine), but he has plenty of time to get those stats, not to mention he is on the way already at quite an impressive rate.
@@EntropicExergy OK max d rider 👍
@@EntropicExergyMax literally had no competition 😂 Not even his teammate in the same extremely dominant car was a serious challenger
@@EntropicExergy Ah! I see we are not going to give Hamilton any credit at all. Always great to see the positive F1 community happy to see drivers achieving amazing things! Max is also one of the greats, but he is yet to prove himself in multiple top teams. In my opinion, Hamilton is the GOAT,
@@flintey360 Now try English, that is not a sentence.
Since 2021 Lewis has scored the most points second to max
If u told me in let's say the 3rd race Merc was gonna be this good I seriously wouldn't believe you
George and Lewis just needed something they could trust.
The problem was Mercedes didn't listen to what hamilton had to say
the car has always been a factor in f1 but having the best car and being a good driver and having a good team sometimes still isnt enough to win consistently lando and mclaren are showing it this season
Lewis just knows exactly how to win in formula 1.. it’s honestly his greatest skill! I’d put say, Max and Alonso above him in terms of just yanking inhuman performances out of a car but when it comes to straight winning and getting those results, Lewis is king!
Lol max isn’t anywhere when it comes to real wheel to wheel racing
Lewis got the Silverstone win gifted by the McLaren pit wall, and the Spa win by Russell's mechanics...
@@patepulkkinenvtec2403 exactly, these people and their outta pocket fanfic love for hamilton, my goodness
I’m sorry but clearly you weren’t watching Lewis in his mclaren. He was an alien compared to Max and Alonso. He was lapping work champions during an era of RB dominance
@@ShawnFX guess max won due to overspending by red bull
How Mercedes have more wins than Mclaren is absolutely embarrassing for Mclaren inexcusable... It's not like Mercedes has even had the best car at any race bar maybe Silverstone and even that one you can make a claim for the other teams. Lewis and George are making the difference by far the best pairing on the grid. I always laugh whenever someone says Mclaren has the best lineup 😂
You can't put all the blame on drivers. Canada and Silverstone were races where McLaren lost due to the incompetence of their pit wall.
Hamilton and Russell > Norris and Piastri.
Definitely at the moment, both way more rounded. Norris is good but seems to be missing that final 5% that puts him the Top Top tier of drivers, Oscar is seemingly closing the gap to Norris.
Lando and Oscar have the most potential for the future.
Dude Lewis has almost been racing as long as Oscar’s been alive like what do u expect
@@connertyson5098Oscar doing a great job and will get better and better. Saying Merc have the better lineup isn’t a slant to McLaren, it’s just how it is. I also think GR is one of the most underrated drivers on the grid, because I know a lot of people find him unlikeable but his qualifying is incredibly consistent and he’s getting a little closer to Hamilton in race pace now, especially compared to last year
@jamesthesilver Noris dosen't have it. He's quick but mentally weak.
Even Sebastian dominated some races with Aston martin which was the 3 rd slowest card
Huh? I thought the Aston was pretty much one of the slowest when Sebastian was driving for them?
If If If If If If If If If, your sounding like Lando Nowins
Lando norrif
Bro thank you. Sorry to any norris fan but he gives so much excuses for why he didn't win or why he lost his grid position at the start of the race
I see Lewis prop, I click.
Merc and Mclaren have big upgrades planned for the second half of the season. If Mclaren can't improve operationally, i think we have a constructors championship on our hands
Norris being taught some harsh lessons and a reality check as he should be winning every race with that mclaren
Agreed that Merc with Lewis and George has the best driver pairing in F1.
Say what you want about Ron Dennis but he's still the most successful team boss and responsible for driver pairings like Senna and Prost, Lewis and Fernando. Mclaren has gone downhill ever since he was pushed out.
Lewis and Fernando was a terrible pairing! Fernando cut his contract short with McLaren after Lewis outperformed Fernando in his rookie season.
they tied u dummy@@alinajafpour3248
Don’t forget Raikkonen and Montoya
@@alinajafpour3248Getting equal points isn't beating someone
@@patepulkkinenvtec2403he said out performed not beat. And if a rookie no matter the circumstances gets the same point as the reigning 2 time champion then yes the champion got out performed. And if you check the standings for 2007, Lewis is actually in 2nd and Fernando in 3rd :)
what if James Alison was the car designer for Mercedes since 2022........ That would have been CRAZY!!!!
Max is most likely to go to Aston Martin with Newey and Honda. Lewis has definitely returned to form recently.
There is a very high chance of Merc winning Dutch GP because they will be having there biggest upgrade package yet and that floor will be back. We could go from saying can lewis really win after 944 days to Lewis winning 3 out of 4 wins
Alonso is the ultimate example of a world Champion having to drag uncompetitive Cars do the finish line. Some Cars were even absolute garbage, like Renault 09, the depressing McLaren Honda years and even his Alpine years. To still have the hunger to perform like he does at this point is in itself Legendary in my book.
Hamilton never really had bad Cars to be absolutely honest, no to so competive sure, but never really horrible cars
Put that man in the 3rd best car on the grid
Says more about Alonso that despite his talent he's been in mostly shit cars his whole career tbh.
@stonedage5087 If Alonso was so good he wouldn't be in the Aston right now
@@flintey360 Sainz is a top driver, and yet, he had to sign for one of the slowest teams on the grid to keep his career going...
@@stonedage5087 what to do when options for Sainz far too limited
I think McLaren will use this year as a learning experience with 2025 being THE chance to win a drivers title.
2:08 lewis shifting it with rhythm in my eyes 🙌🤣🤣
It’s not how you start but it’s how you finish
It's hard to replace the greatest, so anyone who comes into the team after him will either look bad, or the teammate that stayed will look better than people remember (massa/kimi after Micheal retired). Happens with musicians and other athletes too (any Yankees closing pitcher since Rivera retired). So it will be no different in the Mercedes seat, Lewis in the race, is just so consistent
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
i really dont know why you would think Mercedes was not the fastest car in Spa or Silverstone? In the dry they where the quickest and in Spa they where the quickest on the one stop and even on the two stop strategie
great content my friend !
The Car competition at the moment is insanely close especially between RB and Mclaren. The RB20s operating window means its the fastest car when it is in its zone but the Mclaren is the fastest all rounder, ferrari suffer from similar problems to RB but again have a very quick car and Mercedes follow them with another great all rounder.
This is definitely a season now where driving talent is the deciding factor and even despite Mclarens upgrades.
Also 7:10 👀 LMAO i wonder how the Max fans are gonna react
I have never under this, "Lewis is only winning because he is in the best car" sentiment. He joined F1 in 2007. Won at least 1 race every single season except for '22 & '23 (and not always in the best car) where Mercedes was dog shit and Lewis was probably mentally messed up by how he lost that 8th championship. Recent conspiracy theories also point to sabotage within Mercedes to get his out, with Max being their target.
How this guy forced himself to continue in a sport that let him down so much is beyond me.
DId not expect them to catch up like that
The answer is simple you start going backwards just ask williams & Alpine.
Labas you never disappoint great analysis keep up the good work ❤
Kinda funny. I think the only race where MERC was the fastest was Canada.
Agreed bro Verstappen and Hamilton are showing how being a champion requires so much more than a fast car
Woody Russell is the problem for Max to move to Merc and he knows it. Max hasn't been a challenger to an established No.1 driver and succeeded on it. Max knows it is a big risk if he gets exposed.
This video should be called „how good is Mercedes, when they don’t have the best car“ 😂♥️
Ive heard speculation that Red Bull had some illegal part on their car that was giving them the huge performance advantage and that the FIA sorted it behind closed doors.
Similar to how they tried to deal with Ferrari's illegal engine part a few years ago before that news got leaked.
610 Camera angle 🔥🔥🔥
Lando is literally screwing mc laren not piastri he has a rocketship but finishing below p5
i have seen so many merc fans bashing merc for them struggling at the start of the season yet after silverstone many merc fans especially lewis fans didnt even give credit to them for the comeback they made whilst ferrari went downhill
@best___0999 Most of them are Lewis fans rather than Mercedes fans
I really think the gaps aren't much where we can say one car is outright faster than other. Mercedes race pace is deceptively quick. I think Mercedes in race is the 2nd quickest car overall after Mclaren in the last few races. The George DNF's/DSQ kinda give the wrong picture of the team points.
seeing all those crowdstrike logos on those helmets now hits different
My mind has honestly turned from George.
lewis lost the nico in the same car tho.
Nico won beacsue lewis engine blew in a priority race
@@maxpain5555 actually the main reason lewis lost 2016 to nico is the poor starts from Lewis far too often. Nico starts wasn't as bad as Lewis's in 2016
@@johnlau6749What poor start mate he won more races and had more pole positions,without Malaysia Hamilton wins he was always the better driver
@@Hyena_DLS_Edits bro, are u drunk? lewis lost the 2016 title regardless of wins. Lewis's poor start far too often in 2016 completely give Nico the title. U got to realise the thing is when u and ur team mate in championship fight, u cannot have poor starts every single race. It has to be absolute perfection. Those lewis poor starts completely hand title to Nico in 2016. The title already decided way before Malaysia dnf.

@@johnlau6749 no it didn’t I don’t care what you say the engine failure in Malaysia is the reason why he lost Tf are you talking about 😂
let's be honest, that Mercedes was definitely quickest in Spa and competitive in British gp, that being said Hamilton delivers unlike Norris
Oscar disagrees
@@44fasterthanyoubut still, Lando just really bad race execution for how many races in a row now
VER, ALO and HAM are clear of this driver field. Very worrying what will happen once HAM and ALO retire. Hope PIA continues to develop. LEC, RUS, NOR, SAI are good drivers but I’m not seeing them going toe-to-toe with VER consistently.
I think Max and Lewis, when they had driven Norris car from Imola onwards, would have won all those races (Imola, Canada, Spain , Silverstone etc etc). The past 7 races or so really shows that winning championships is more complicated than just having the fastest car. Norris problem is his mental instability, his lack of decision making, ability to read the race, communication, more so than his driving skills. I fear for Norris that Piastri is slowly going to surpass him.
2:57 I doubt that
Seeing alot of hatred towards Lewis in comments. Just like to remind, that his teammates (Fernando Alonso, Jenson Button and Nico Rosberg) are all world champions. Even the best drivers can have ups and downs in their career. I saw the same hatred towards Vettel, despite his accomplishments of having one of the most overtakes of all drivers.
Haters are absoplutely nuts, and it will be in no time, that you people will also hate Max at some point, because nobody can maintain peak perfomance forever.
Redbull were not faster than Mercedes during the race at Spa. Great video tho
Nobody can’t put a single word against Hamilton because they get offended and you instantly become a racist😂😂😂😂
But when will Williams win 😢😭
This is the first and only time il ever say ...this 0 views 46 seconds bro fell off...😢
How good is Lewis when he has the car to challenge wins for 6-7 races ? behind Max.
People only say How good is Lewis ? when he gets the good car and wins as people are silent when he's literally making no impression,
crashing into people, crying on the radio. one overtake he makes and people make it the highlight forgetting what happened two corners later.
If you really wanna talk about the How good thing then why not include 2022-2023 ? sure coz it won't fit the argument.
Fun Fact : Max Verstappen has been in F1 for 9 years! And is younger than George Russell
Max is older.
@@ayshajohn2439 oh shit yh 😂
Piastri will beat lando head to head
So another team lh simp. He's average in a good car, simple as that. But you need to stroke his ego.
Even a 4 year old who watches F1 or an 99 year old man or Women all know it's always been that annoying bloody black fella called Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton who is the best driver ever seen racing an F1. and shockingly he's still that same guy who beats any guy who also started in 2007
Mercedes were just Lucky in Austria and no I am not talking about Norris and max incident when oscar qualified p3 the time was deleted and in Silverstone I think Lewis did a great job but in spa I think the Mercedes was faster than Maclaren
well if he didn't go wide, he may have been a tenth slower maybe. We will never know. Rules are rules. BTW mercs were there to capitalize. So it is not gifted if they were the ones to pick up the scraps
@@aravindhdeivag111 going wide slowes the driver rather than making him faster and if u saw how wide he went u would know he was not even that far off track limits I would say one of his wheels was actually touching the white line but the camera they showed it from did not give the view of that tire
Yes Mercedes were there to capitalise but who else could have possibly been there except mercedes Ferrari could be but we both know how good they were that weekend my point is if red bull and mclaren mess up the only team there to capitalise are merc and Ferrari and if Ferrari is not there it only leaves merc
Shouldn't this video be about Fernando Alonso?!
Alonso has been sub par even by his admission and by everyone else lol
Average
"KING" George is Not Capable... He's the Worse kind of Sociopath..
Don’t agree. They had the fastest car in Canada. Russell just threw it away in the race while Lewis underperformed in qualifying.
In Spa, Mercedes were the 2nd quickest behind Red Bull. Mercedes low-downforce configuration was way more efficient than McLaren‘s who were incredibly slow on the straights and couldn’t make up for it in the middle sector, given how much wing they took off. The only reason why Piastri caught up to Lewis rapidly was because of Lewis being held up by George.
McLaren is still very inefficient under low-DF configuration and will have a tough time on tracks like Monza & Vegas.
Lewis whined. Now, Max is whining.
Max is first in the championship
To be fair, they all whine. Remember the 90s where everyone was whining and snitching on each other.
@@aghur705makes his pathetic crying even more embarrassing… won’t see any of these bellends saying ‘crystappen’ though will you?
Honestly half of it is who they bother to show us the radio for. The race leader whining about his tires matters far more than someone in 10th
Everyone whines it’s Formula 1. However, there is only one whiner with 7 championships and the most poles in f1 history.
Hamilton won his 6 titles with Mercedes because Mercedes built the best car, not because he is a genius! Now he wins again this season because the car is fast!
It’s funny that they treat him like some special god who can perform miracles😂😂😂😂
Even though the points say otherwise, I would actually go on to argue that George has been the better driver this year. Lewis has been made to look better due to George not having the chance to fight for the win in Silverstone due to his water leak related retirement, and in Spa his win was taken away due to his car being underweight.
It's true that george has been the better driver. He was completely dominating Lewis before Spain but since the car couldn't get too many points back then the points gap couldn't become too big and as soon as the car becomes good for 5 races george got a dnf,dsq and the awful management in hungary quali which is the reason Hamilton is ahead. It's a fact that george has been the better driver(so far). Hamilton just got lucky the mercedes couldn't score so many points early on
@greenfj1466 While this is true, I'd push back on George's luck being the only reason he's fallen behind Lewis. In Silverstone, he went with less downforce so he could get better dry pace, and while the DNF was unfortunate, even if he finished I believe he would've come 3rd at best because he wouldn't be as quick as Lewis in the wet with his setup, he most likely pits after Lewis, and has to be on the soft vs Max on hards and Lando on softs. Max definitely still finishes 2nd with the better tyre.
Hungary, while Merc made a mistake with George with underfueling and releasing him too early, he messed up his first lap while Lewis didn't, and that cost him dearly. Not to mention, Lewis almost got knocked out in Q2 that weekend so there's a good chance George might've been eliminated there as well. George also finished behind Perez in the RB while Lewis finished ahead of Max so I'd say Lewis just performed better in the race.
In Spa, Lewis was practically flawless on race day. It was Mercedes not denying George the 1 stop that gave him an advantage when in reality he was nowhere for most of the race. Lewis had wanted to do a 1 stop but got rejected the night before the race so George was very fortunate to be allowed to do that strategy on the fly and in the end that also cost him because he pushed too hard trying to keep Lewis behind when Lewis only started pushing 5 laps before the end because Merc had not told him George was a threat with the 1 stop. If both did a 2 stop, which would have prevented George from being DQd then he would have finished 4th at best.
So while you're right that George has been the better driver this season, let's not dismiss the recent results to pure luck for Lewis and bad luck for George. George has had his fair share of good luck in the past just like how Lewis has had bad luck, for example the Austria win he inherited while Lewis had a damaged car that race or the US gp DSQ last year, or Brazil 22 when George benefited from his own accident in Q3 forcing Lewis to start lower and then Max hitting Lewis in the race dropping him down the order giving George time to build a gap, timely safety car at Australia 22 and Miami 22 puts him ahead of Lewis, Hungary Q3, George gets pole while Lewis has a DRS issue which drops him down the order, Abu Dhabi 22 DNF.... luck goes both ways
@@Roxas-ph3te I never said that george would finish ahead of Lewis in all the races he has had badluck but wherever he would've finished it would've been a whole lot of points compared to now
@greenfj1466 True. But you also never mentioned Lewis's good drives either as a reason for the points gap. Even when Lewis wasn't in form, he usually finished 1, maximum 2 positions behind George. And if the car was better early in the season, Lewis would have been more comfortable and performed like he has now earlier.
In terms of the points gap, Russell likely lost 25 points if we're being optimistic (3rd at Silverstone, 4th Spa on a 2 stop to prevent DSQ, Hungary is impossible to judge maybe 2 to 4 points more), which leaves him behind Lewis still
@@Roxas-ph3te George's disqualification would have happened even with a two-stopper. George still deserved that win due to his clever strategy, even if Hamilton was the better overall driver that weekend. The hypothetical Silverstone result is hard to predict, but he sure as hell lost a lot of points there. And let's not forget that Lewis had a nightmare race in China where he shouldn't have gotten any points but the safety car bunched up the field and a lot of drivers ahead of him retired.

Mercedes Got lucky IMO. The win in austria came from a crash at the front. Lewis win in sliverstone wouldn’t have happende if it didnt rain or if mclaren could Pick a driver to support. However their win in spa was brilliant.
They wouldn't get lucky if McLaren and Lando weren't fumbling. You make the difference by nailing your performance and capitalising on the errors of others, which is kinda the point.
Well winning in the rain isn't luck, it's skill. All the rain did was equalize the field and McLaren wouldn't have screwed up so hard had it not been Hamilton behind him. It's interesting how even his presence behind Norris made Lando anxious to the point where they made such a obviously bad decision with tire strategy.
if you're not in the fastest car, you have to do a better job than the people who are. usually that means they fucked up and you didn't, and if you call that lucky then every win not in the fastest car is lucky
That’s a lot of hypothetical talk. Too bad hypotheticals have no influence on reality!
What kind of hypothetical thinking is that? Russell’s was the only you could say was lucky because the crash happened in the past two laps and he was 20 secs back but he was still in the position to win at the end of the day
Yeah when you haven’t had a good season in 3yrs and you’re black you will always be a champion. Diversity and wokeness you know. Can’t say Lewis sucks or people are better then him because he’s black and people get offended
What the hell you’re talking about. Why you’re pointing Lewis race ?
P3 in the drivers standings in 2023 is not good? Also dont bring up his race its literally irrelevant unless count team LH's maniacal fans
antonelli > russel
Nice joke
Hamilton is literally the driver who only got his WDCs because of the dominant car.
Heck, he was beaten by Rosberg out of all people 😂 in the same car 😂
Now getting smacked by Russel regularly
When has a driver won a championship with a mid field or back marker? Never, its never happened. Top teams attract top drivers who win championships. This is consistent throughout history. Max was the best driver in the best car, so was Micheal, Vettel, Prost… The list goes on. Can’t fault a driver for how good his team was.😂
The only driver… so Max wasn’t in a dominant car? The only year where Hamilton had an extremely dominant car with no real competition was 2020
GOAT SIR LEWIS CARL DAVIDSON HARLEY HAMILTON IS THE GOAT. AYRTON SENNA DA SILVA, WAS ANOTHER GOAT, NOT MANY OF THE THEM 🤗😉😎
