Between Michael and Lewis it´s all down to what is happening around them, Michael won 7 titles because of a mix of events, a team centered in him, a partner downsized so he doens´t have opposition on the team, great cars for 4 years in a row and unefficient competition, only one contender per year and with cars that brake engines or other parts every two races.
Lewis has it much more difficult, 3 pilots fighting for the title, 3 big teams and how many broken engines/parts did we saw? Few, so...
The ugly truth about F1 is that people like Alonso who rarely overtake and rather keep his position to prevent crashes often end up top of the championship table. Entertaining and truly talented drivers like Lewis often end up short.
Hamilton will not beat Schumachers records, someone might one day but not Hamilton, the competition is too strong. These days it's very hard to win more than 5 or 6 races a year.
In 2010 both Red Bull cars were faster than Hamilton's McLaren. As much as I hate to admit it, Alonso had a faster car as well. So, being kind, Lewis had - at best - the 4th best car. But according to the stats, Massa ran faster than Lewis most of the time. You guys are preaching to the choir because I love Lewis as much as any of you. But you must be realistic.
@downforcemedia 5th best? lol You really believe the mercedes and renaults were faster than the Mclarens? LOL Please tell me you are joking.. The mclarens qualified in front of the renaults and mercedes in almost every race so Kubica must be one shitty driver for that to be true. Get real!
@aieljose The four best cars in F1 2010 were 1) Vettel; 2) Webber; 3) Alonso and 4) Massa. I never said anything about Mercedes or Renault. Please read more carefully before screaming.
@downforcemedia Oh well when you put it that way then yeah he had the 5th best car. It's just most people will look at that and think you are saying that the Mclarens were slower than say mercedes and renaults which isn't the case so i think ranking them the way everyone else does which is by the actual teams performance ex) 1. Redbull 2) Ferrari 3) Mclaren, is more logical. Btw I think the Mclarens were faster than the ferrari's for the first half of the season.
@MetalHead1993666 The best ever? Im a fan of LH and i do believe he is probs the most talented driver to arrive in F1 since shuey did at spa in 91, but saying he is the best ever is pushing it a bit plus its far to early to say, judge him in 10/15 years once he has retired but to say he is the best ever isn't right, think about some of the guys your comparing him to, Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Senna, Schumacher, Prost (under rated IMO), Piquet (Snr not Jnr) :P and Lauda, maybe one day but not yet.
He will never eclipse schumachers records. Never ! Schumacher is the best and with a better car next season he will strike back. Lewis is good but he sometimes makes some stupid errors like Vettel. Thats why he wont smash those records.
Lewis Hamilton has proven this year that he is the best driver in the world. Let's face it, McLaren has simply lost the development battle to Red Bull and Ferrari. In the 5th best car, Lewis is winning the World Championship. How do you explain that if he isn't the best in the world. Mark my words - Lewis Hamilton will eventually eclipse every record in F1, including Schumacher's mark of 7 World Championships. He is unlike anything we have seen before in F1. A total fighter with no fear.
@downforcemedia I'm a big hamfan but he wont beat 7 titles. He will never have that kind of luck and be in that type of position ever, in his entire career but Lewis has great skill and he will be champion again someday : D .
@jraybay Luck? Michael's domination years were the result of 4 years full of bad luck and still never giving up, always pushing the car and the team to the limits, and finally getting awarded for that. I support both, Michael and Lewis, but show some respect and don't say Michael was just lucky to win 7 WDC, because that's bullshit. And yes, Lewis will win another championship, I think we might see the best Lewis Hamilton ever in 2012.
@aryatololHTF How is he wreckless? wtf. Alonso can't even surpass his own record so far, so what is the point of comparison? Vettel is the guy to beat.
@downforcemedia I bet he crashed more times than he ever won ;) ... cmon hes good but nothing else , all of f1 drivers are profesionals , bring them a good car and they'll win thats so clever.. just check Kubica.. shitty car still his average place is like 4th or 5th.
the only reason why vettel is doing well is all down to the car, hamilton easily has the better racecraft and would wipe the floor with vettel in equal machinery
@beyblader10171 NO look at webber has the same car but he sux. hamilton only won cuz his little daddy gave mcclaren some money to get him there. HOW DID HE MAGICALLY GO STRAIGHT to mcclaren, and no he was not that good.
your making it sound as if lewis cant drive for his life, theres a reason why he won the wdc in 2008 with the second best car, even the FIA had to stop him by giving penalties and failed. Oh yeah by the way Lewis was already signed up on the mclaren young drivers program when he was 13 years old!!! so he would have got the seat, not to mention lewis impressed in gp2 ( i bet you dont even know what that is ), and in 2007 embarrassed alonso by coming so close to winning the wdc
and by the way, red bull are sabotaging webber because they know he will give vettel a hard time just liek we saw in 2010, thats why they give webber bad race strategies. Vettel is good, yes, but not as good as Hamilton and Alonso, but seeing as you dont know anything about f1, id rather not bring it up
@WWIIStudy101 i think it was a bit more than just magically, lol. lewis is one of the best drivers on the grid even dominicalli team principal of ferarri said it this week.
@TheChumb4 I'll admit he has more determination then Vettel to overtake. but Vettel I would say is a faster driver. But i just dont want to argue anymore. Everyone in F1 is great just because they can even get that far.
and i find it funny how people say hamilton is only good when hes in a good car, this just shows that he makes a car that is 2.5 seconds slower than the field and yet he gets past them
Ok i understood liegate but now this video shows to me that Lewis did nothing wrong!? I now don't understand what we did wrong after this video. He clearly let Trulli back in front of him. Or were the team lying and is that why letting Trulli back in front him was the lie? McLaren ruined a good 4th Place for Lewis :( Possibly 3rd if the FIA didn't allow Trulli back to his normal position!
Great video. It goes out to prove that the problem with overtaking in formula 1 is not an engineering problem but a driver problem. I love how most drivers will approach pretty much every circuit saying "it is very difficult to overtake there, almost impossible" and then you get Hamilton overtaking cars as if it was GP2
I would have thought you would be allowed to overtake someone who went off whilst under the Safety Car, as long as you didn't cause him to go off and he was so far off that it'd take a long time for them to get back on track. Also, I noticed you uploaded this on my 16th birthday :P.
I seen the testing and the problems for mclaren in 2009 I big fan . But I remeber watching this race and I thought the car was better than it really was. But later we all find out it was just Lewis being the best :^D
@Hamiltoncheater Is he a fool because he is the best driver in the world ? Or a fool because you are jelous of him ? Or a fool because he can make a car work whatever the conditions ? Yeah, He may be a fool to you but ur just a hater who doesn't have a clue about F1/Hamilton so STFU
@Hamiltoncheater haha as if you made your Youtube name that just because you don't like him... I might make a new account called 'HamiltoncheaterHATER'
The really funny thing is he did all that just to lie to the stewards about overtaking Jarno and get disqualified.
