      "Portimao is just : " you never see the track"" This is why Hamilton says at the start of the video: "Honestly I don't really remember it" is because he's never actually seen the track.

    Lewis' analysis is based on his talent and skill. It all comes to him where, when and how to drive and position a car around a race track, not just this one, that's why he doesn't remember exactly what corner is where, which I'm sure he knows all that....but his talent takes over.

      I think that's one of Lewis's best talents. He makes it look like he's not trying, especially in the pre-COVID days when he'd jetset around and post on IG. I think he works even harder than most, but doesn't allow that to be seen. I've seen him recall particular random moves from races a decade ago, I don't buy for one second that he doesn't remember this lap.

      Lewis is just naturally faster. He cant explain all the details of a track or the physics of his car in the way nico can. Nico probably overanalyses how to put the perfect lap time in place a bit too much to the point where it compromises a bit of his full potential in terms of speed whereas with lewis theres a basic understanding of what to do beforehand but its all natural instinct and it cant be taught. You have either have it or you dont.

    I remember Hamilton's track guides from 2007 and 2008 while he was with Mclaren-Mercedes. Always was willing to pause the video to give information that was extra to just what his body felt in the car (eg. what is he seeing? what is he thinking?). I thoroughly enjoy the information he shares with his onboards.

      @@nikhilpaleti3872 That may be true but I think he's on to something. Nico from everything I heard was incredibly hard working and an analytical driver. If you listened to the Beyond the grid podcast with the Brackley boys they express the same sentiments. Lewis drives on instinct using data as guidelines, never relying on it completely. This is shown in wet weather races where Nico as a driver was too rigid and couldn't adapt quickly to new braking points, apex, optimum speeds etc. While Lewis is a master in the wet.

    Man, it's so clear Lewis has a crazy aptitide for keeping all these details in check. Not hardly remembering exactly which corner, but still sounds like he could be spending 3 hours or more fully detailing the crazy fine detail i suspect he has locked in that immensely talented brain.
    Hell, saw a short clip on youtibe some time ago where he was talking about spotting a brake distance by some ture rubber on a curb. Could barely see a faint mark when the curbing was shown.
    Bahrain a few seasons ago, 2018 i think, he said at the end of the race he passed Vettel due to the wind changing direction. Which he noticed becuase of the flags at the track changing direction. So he figured the headwind would make the Merc stick.
    It sure did, Charles Leclerc had a bummer of a engine issue allowing lewis to catch and pass but damn, charles was quantum locked for grip and atomic energy powered that race.
    The capacity for detail and intense physical effort throughout a race weekend will never cease to amaze me.

    Seeing how their car handle this year compared to last year makes the w11 probably the best f1 car ever made to this day.

    Portimão seems to be interesting and a driver's track where skill and balls (or guts for females) separate pros from rookies :-D good elevation changes, and F1 needs more tracks like these (Spa, Mosport, Turkey, Glen end Zolder and Imola)
