LEWIS HAMILTON - Karting (wins from the back!)

[TheKadirovstas]

number 9 is crazy one lol

[hcadet30]

You think that was good he only overtook less than 10 Karts in a whole race if you want to see a proper drive watch Steven Prentice Coming from 24th to win the Honda Cadet O plate at Rowrah 2011

[TinnieSingh]

I hate lewis hamilton not because of his driving because he has my girl Nicole lol

[DumpedClutch]

@TinnieSingh not anymore he doesn't hahahahahahahahahaha

[TinnieSingh]

@DumpedClutch

haha!

[gnarkillkicksass]

But did the other kids have a kart, van and mechanic supplied by McLaren?

[noreplyism]

Got a smile out of him in the end.

[Gamea650]

mclaren trains him!

[HastaLaVista6666]

reading it fast "Wins from the black"

[danco35]

He's lucky that Parks didn't punt him. It's almost impossible to pass clean when the leader stays on the inside of every turn like that...almost.

[RgRacingTV]

wow thats some driving talent, i could only come from last to finish3rd at buckmore in their GP events when I was fist starting... Im not a huge fan of lewis hamilton because of f1 politics, and being a massa fan, but as a kid and even now to an extent, the boy can drive like no other! thanks for sharing the video!

[slimjimmy23]

@RgRacingTV I didn't know there was such thing as a Massa fan lol

[RgRacingTV]

@slimjimmy23 lol very funny, i say fan, more i follow his career, i met him in 2006 when he first started with ferarri, and liked him since....

[drsnugify]

[tyresmoke]

RIP Christian Bakkerud



[mattyscoots02]

Nice blocking Lewis..

[85LordByron8]

he was made for mclaren like eminem ws made for rapping if that makes sense.

[flavaj12]

this is the reason why he is the best today, if all f1 cars were the same, it will be boring becus he will jus keep on winning, lol go leewwwwissss

[TheEpicShow123]

he is so posh then hahahahah now its slang Lewis: 'yeah the left back on the pit stops must bricking it' Jenson:Eniiiiiiiiiit

[MrKawasaki1990]

wow, its more exciting than F1

[85LordByron8]

he was made for mclaren

[darksun118]

@85LordByron8 Don't you mean, made by McLaren.

[MedalofHonor01]

haha hes even wearing his yellow helmet then!

[Armaangandevia1]

ive met in real life

[FreerideDownhillMtb]

2:58 OOOOWW AHHHHHHH!!!

[MrBADASS619]

@FreerideDownhillMtb he says "and es olmen ooooooow ahhhhhhhhhh!!!"

[CameronAGoldFish]

I started karting when I was 4 and I'm 13 now and going to do my ARKS test at whomwell soon so I can finnaly start racing.

[CameronAGoldFish]

@CameronAGoldFish forgot to mention I drive a rotax junior with a birel chassis

[mimz881]

@CameronAGoldFish wow good luck you in kf3 yet and what chassis you using

[Magicola3]

@CameronAGoldFish

thanks Daddy

[CameronAGoldFish]

@Magicola3 what?

[declanrob12]

ive done 1 of those races at pukmore park its really good but the crashes are scary :)

[juul384]

mclaren sponsor, they put a lot of trust into him to produce later

[theL3gend1]

Hey guys I'm planing to start go karting and I am now just started 16 but is that too late for it?

[coatster]

@theL3gend1 its not too late but you will have to be good at it naturally to really get anywhere, you need to start young tbh but its still possible.

[zacho6661]

@theL3gend1 not at all you will have to go into gearbox class's were there are three pedals but it is never too late

[DarkNewDays2010]

European karting...hardcore

[TheUltimateToad]

Damn. Wish i could do this. Shame how most opportunities in life are down the faults of parents. Here i am 7 years ahead of how he was when he started... and haven't touched a gokart yet.

[davidrunnenburg]

@TheUltimateToad i agree so much i had the privilige of my father getting me a kart @ the age of twelve we drove it hobbywise for many years till i was about 17 when we sold our last kart. we sold it because we didnt really get to drive too much caus my dad had to work alot plus the race track we always went was closing in amsterdam. its a shame that in this racing world the people with the most money win, we never got the opportunity to race cause it was way out of our budget.

[zacho6661]

@TheUltimateToad you can still go kart but if you are over 17 i surgest if you want a serious racing career buy a go racing starter pack and find your local race track take some racing lessions and take an ARDS test if you pass you can race any single seater's but it is costly. i only started in karts when i was 13 i am 15 now and will be taking my ARDS test next year and then moving on to formula ford if you want more info search MSA

[TheUltimateToad]

@zacho6661 Good luck on that. Lucky sod. :[

[zacho6661]

@TheUltimateToad :D lol thanks

[zacho6661]

he was in super one karting :P

[zacho6661]

many people are saying no one can become a F1 driver after you start past 13 but look at bruno senna

[pant1979]

@zacho6661 heheee!

[zacho6661]

@pant1979 lol :P

[Lolzilol123]

@zacho6661 Bruno Senna did start before 13, he just went on a break because of Ayrton's death. The name Senna has also helped him massively, I don't think he would be where he is now without it.

[antbubb]

♥ Buckmore Park

Such an awesome track to drive

[lee22leo]

when the interview starts he starts to clean the kart hahaahahaha

[ashishbully]

results are never the right way to judge a driver. Anyone can win races cutting chicanes, ramming from behind, hamilton has worst driving skills

[MrBenrulezz]

@ashishbully alonso fan -_-

[markjamesmelrose]

@ArtificialRed1083 Alonso tied points with hamilton in his ROOKIE season, same car. Over the year some decisions probably balanced out (some went for lewis for for fernando) from the team. So nah, Alonso is good (massive bell end though IMO) but not as good as Lewis i don't think.

[praster666]

ten years later hes in f1 thats a trip... put your mind to something and anything is possible i guess. Even tho he has A LOT of talent

[MotorsportUK2009]

iv raced at Buckmore many times, iv never seen anyone carry as much speed into turn 3 as Lewis Hamilton, its just pure talent.

[cascarria02]

Great Lewis Hamilton



[keichii9]

already has a mclaren sponsorship on his back...

[HowToGetThings4Free]

@keichii9 I can't say I'm surprised given his performance here.

[xTreMe2HardCorEx]

@keichii9 so what?



[MEOIT83]

@keichii9 Yes they have sponsored him from the start

[DjmfoxCo]

@keichii9 he got it when he was 11, when they put him on the young driver support program, like about 10 others and was driver no2 behind Nico Rosberg when they created team MBM.

[pencilyellow]

bad ass 15 year-olds...



[bcrich10]

Fantastic, I don't no much about Karts so why do they keeping putting there right hand on the engine ?

[curtsk19]

@bcrich10 hey they are putting there hand over the airbox which is chucking more fuel through the engine. this is normally done before a corner

[jjbradshaw1]

Wow, he came from the back.....out of about 10 people.

[DunkdaHunk]

@jjbradshaw1 I'd love to see you do the same against so many talented karters



[jjbradshaw1]

@DunkdaHunk Google 'James Bradshaw Karting' (my name) and i think you will find that i did even better.

[jacktls26]

5:16 lewis u fucking genius haha

[ARESwarRacer]

nothing has changed, always wins because they break the other !!!!! it's incredible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[motorcrosser12]

What he doesn't know is that when he is older he will be a World Champion F1 driver!

[KINGOSWALD]

those karts are more dangerous than modern F1 !!

[stealthysmirth]

you can tell hamilton got bored once he overtook them all and cruised to the finish

[64Fabby]

@stealthysmirth

one more lap and he'd have finished 2nd

[19ac087]

Nice video! :)

[rsavagephotography]

/watch?v=xGmx9UvxtrU

[panglossa]

Attaboy!

[Binitec]

I wonder if Lewis would make his way to F1 if he wasn't supported by Mclaren right from the cradle. Don't get me wrong, he is really a talented driver and he hasn't been world champion for nothing, but how many possible F1 world champions have to quit karting because there parents can't afford it ?

[SinKillua]

@Binitec

From what I read, Hamilton's father actually had to work three jobs at one point just to support and fund his dream. Hamilton is an incredible driver and I am sure he worked extremely hard to get where he is, but let's not forget that his parents also had to work very hard for their son's dream.

[eddllllll]

5:19 - Reminds me of a move Hamilton made in China 2010

[TheHiLiteShow7]

@eddllllll

yes. from watching this you can really see how Lewis diagnoses his moves. Its really quite brilliant...he always seems to pounce on the other drivers when they make the slightest mistake...that wide corner entry and tight corner exit he does.....just mind blowing.

[3slotes]

Yellow helmet because he is Aryton senna :D

[keytek9]

@3slotes shame on u man

[vausie95]

So lewis, from karting would you like to eventually make it to formula one? :D legend

[bicksters1]

I have afeeling one day we will see you at the grid a monza ... so do i , so do I

[shadmonk]

skilllsss

[Danielpinov]

Amazing. This was so much fun to watch

[mrmalade]

haha cute

[dougiecoolietrini]

5:54 "Now then, will Russel Parks now sort him out.." Why does Hamilton need sorting out? He took 1st place and now he needs sorting out?

[mrdriftking8]

that guy and barrichelo and senna the kings of kart

[DillonVG18]

Hamilton wasn't "gifted with first place", he wasout to pass Holeman wen he dropped a chain

[mideamaya1]

((((Taxi diamant com enköping )))))

[supadapag1]

5.16 classic Hamilton move!!!

[LordOfRage]

putos guiris seguid adorando al puto negro....Viva Alonso siempre!!!

[LulaJake]

@LordOfRage FUCK YOU. Spanish are spawned from Black people. Spanish are the blacks of Europe.

[zTibsz]

@LulaJake hahahaha when ever we poop out comes the Spanish. xD

[ThreeLions89]

@LordOfRage fuck off spanish jackass. You`ve been conquered by blacks and arabs, you use an english nickname and you still dare talk shit about Lewis? buahahah disgusting spanish idiot. How`s Gonzo-Alonzo doing ?Is he still whining because of what happened in Abu Dhabi? XD

[iagoil]

Making of a dream. Thanks Lewis for all that you do for us, the McLaren Fans!!

[panzr]

I can see why F1 drivers always love karting...it's fast and furious...motor racing in it's purest form

[a155099]

lol he looks exactly the same just now he has sideburns. babyface hamilton

[jp360skyline]

lol 5:30 'well... if you dilly dally around in front of Hamilton...'

NO dillying ALONSO et al!!

[tcurt1s]

how much horse power do those go karts have?

[hadabenz]

haha looking at Lewis Hamilton as a kid is quite funny, now he's a grown man..

LEWIS FOR 2010 CHAMP ! beat Webber Lewis... Beat them all !!!

[roe5745]

36 butthurt Spantards dont like this video!

[szewei85]

haha he looks like MJ seriously...now he is the MJ or TW version of F1 pilot whatever yall wanna fucking call it XD

[SaltyFlats]

Lewis is the man!

[AndysEdits]

youngest driver, from the back to 1st place? it's not surprisng that Mclaren gobbled him up

[pengeaumont270508]

@AndysEdits They had already gobbled him up here. That's probably why he won!

[olliepack]

Bet he was only dreaming of becoming an F1 champ and dating a pussycat doll back then!

[Back4More42]

2010 F-1 points leader

[carl206rc]

he's got a natural talent

[MassVEX]

if only my parents bought me a kart like they were going to, this looks like so much fun

[Sports350]

Man, these r short races

[sub7viet]

his dad looksl ike tiger woods lol

[ramzevans]

@sub7viet his dad looks like him, not all black people look the same lol

[riurijjir]

Hamilton is made for this. Purely and genuinely the best.

[hwks100]

Alex Lloyd who came 3rd, just came 4th in the Indy 500 2 weeks ago.

[arso21]

Hamilton.......is on a charge. Martin Brundle took that line from this vid.

[richyb21]

im quicker

[izidor]

if he would tell his friends at this age he`s going to fak nicole scherzinger in few years everyone would laugh

[FHunited007]

@izidor If he had told his friends back then would they actually know who they are?

[D3MONZOUL]

no champagne for winner? o that is right they cant lol

[SkaTasticMatt]

@D3MONZOUL Thats the most pointless coment ever.

[scefen]

LOL when the commentator starts talking at 2.49 I come to think of Monty Python.

[BishopCR7]

@scefen lmfao You're so right :L

[EVOLOVER69]

REAL TALENT THIS GUY!

[wowffreakk]

[iRacingJeffrey]

Awesome win ! :)

[jronson22]

Wow. They both have hair here.

[bmk139]

LOL

[Spawn1986freedom]

o.o

[4JayeP]

He worked his way through the whole field! I'm laughing my ass off! He worked his way through the whoooole field!!!!!!! The kid starts from dead last and wins it all!!!! That's impressive.

[davidjburgess]

What would be good if Hamilton kept up his karting in the winter like Schumacher/buemi/piquet/Kubica etc and did things like the SuperNats! That would be a good leveler for the doubters! Schumacher does it with nothing to prove and everything to lose, mind you he finished 7th from 27th in the final (problems in qualifying). Don't think Fore managed to finish come to think of it....although he did qualify 4th!!!

[QUIRKYGTI]

haha go bmk139 i find it funny that mybizuk rates hamilton that low that he's searched for hamilton video's on youtube lmao

[d2shortid2]

i'm a Novis And I Think Im Prett Good I Got a Vid On The Track In Pfi Check One Of My Vids Out And Comment. (:

[mattymatt569]

[wingtsun73]

[Ency19]

Parla per te io sono italiano e tifo per lui

[LDis1]

He might be better than anybody on the current grid, but he not Juan Manuel Fangio.

[cripsdogg1990]

6:13 hahahahaahahahahaah wahhhhh is that is that...... alonso hahaaha

[jraybay]

lol that's insane he's forced to start from the back...it didn't seem to effect him. Incredible drive lewis :D .

[mybizuk]

Your having a joke arnt you?

9 karts? 9 karts is nothing. He didnt even compete in the british championship that year. Only because they had FUL grids of over 24 and with better drivers who would have beaten him.

This was a mickey mouse championship.

9karts lol

[bmk139]

Idiot, he'd only just moved up from kadet class and was the youngest driver in the field. Do you also class F3, F3euroseries and GP2 as "mickey mouse championships", afterall he won those too. Infact some of those 'better drivers' you refer to (for example Kubica, Vettel, Rosberg, Sutil ect) that were racing against Hamilton, were all beaten by him in every formulae from karting thru to present day. lol

[mybizuk]

Silly man, he had done Cadet then Yamaha then Jica. You dont know anything clearly. He took nearly 6 years of single seaters to F1... Schu took 2 years, Kimi 18months and ALonso 2 years.

Lewis wasnt up to winning Superone Jica or FSA in 2001.

[RFarrell1993]

only because you cant

[GTAstuntz]

U sound as if you could actually win..

Hamilton skipped the british one becos he was good enough to skip.

[mybizuk]

Giid enough, LOL,,, 14 karters in Chumps of the future. Thats a joke.

This class was made for Lewis. His whole career a marketting exercise.

[bmk139]

ROFL, you obviously don't have a life other than bitching about Hamilton, you fuckin sad, bitter nobody lol.

The fact that he'd won 2 karting titles, 2x future champs series and the Autosport driver of the year award before getting Mclarens help (and whilst his dad worked 3 jobs) kinda makes ur comments sound very ignorant and bitter.

As for statistics, I think u'll find for the time he's been racingf, Lewis has better stats than Alonso, Kimi & Schumey, and how long he was in s/s is irrelevant

[mybizuk]

I saw his career progress from karting to F1. he got his ass comprehensively handed to him on a plate in Formula Super A. He couldnt win F1 in 2007, got run down to the wire by an Amatuer like Massa in 2008 which he won by default. He did nothing this year. You have just jumped on the Hamilton bandwagon thinking he is the best thing since sliced bread when he clearly isnt.

Given the millions ploughed into him and the amount of racing he had done before F1, He hasnt been impressive.

[bmk139]

Were you touching urself when you wrote that? I bet you were lol. I've been watching F1 since 1994 and I also support Alonso, Kimi, Webber, Rosberg & Massa, so I wonder how that fits in with ur judgmental ignorance?

As for Massa being an amateur, perhaps you missed the fact he outdrove Kimi this year and last?

You don't know shit about Hamilton if you think he hasnt been that impressive, he only lost the 2007 title because of mechanical failure. Keep bitching like a girl you jealous prick,lol.

[mybizuk]

Are you 14? you cannot stop swearing like a adolescant school boy.

Ive followed all forms of motorsport and competed myself. Im sure im far more qualified to comment on Lewis WHOLE career than you, a young Groupie wannabie that you seem to be.

He only won in 2008 because of some bad luck on Massa's side and also due to Glock's tyres.

[bmk139]

Again ur ignorance is laughable, jumping to silly conclusions and presuming. I've also competed, and i also follow other forms of motorsport. If you actually knew ANYTHING about Lewis' career you wouldn't be spouting such bullshit, ur intelligence and knowledge is obvioulsly quite limited if you think that a championship is won in 1 race. The best drives of 2008 were Hamiltons, and Massa was only so close due to biased stewarding. Even this year, autosport mag voted hamilton dirver of the year

[odracirseraoseia1999]

Didn't they vote Vettel driver of the year?

[bmk139]

Nope, Autosport nov 19th, driver of the year was Hamilton, then Button, then Vellel.

The team principals ranked Vettel, then Button, then Hamilton.

[odracirseraoseia1999]

Oh ok! Either way, Hamilton is a very good driver, amazing recovery here! Vettel was very good this year, but how much was him and how much was the engineering brilliance of that Red Bull? For me Hamilton, Alonso, Rosberg and now Shumi (again... let's hope!) are really on top of their game.

[bmk139]

Yeah totally agree, Vettel is a great driver no doubt, but he doesn't have the wheel to wheel ability of Lewis or the strategy brains of Alonso, I think either of them would have dominated the season in such a car. He has raw pace, but Webber was often a match for him during the races.

I'm also a big fan of Rosberg, having Schumi as a team mate will be a huge boost. It will be great to see Massa back on the grid too, just a shame the 1st race of the season is Bahrain.

[1010thechamp]

@bmk139

So in 2008 even though Shamilton was lucky to only have Massa as a title rival and even then he needed Singapore fuel hose and Hungary engine that cost a Massa win, even at Brazil Glock had to let him through, I actually raced Hamilton in Karts and he was talented but just not as talented as some in the UK thinks.

[bmk139]

@1010thechamp Lmao, the fact that you referred to him as 'Shamilton' makes any comment you make completely irrelevant as it is obvious you are a jealous bitter hater (probably with very little talent) . Your biased view of 2008 (conveniently omitting the post-Spa rule fixing/Bourdais pit exit penalty/Fuji drive through AND Kimi) is laughable, but suggesting Lewis' 8 kart titles & 3 single seater tiltes is "not as talented as some think" makes me think you're a complete and utter fuckwit.

[Kribby2k6]

@bmk139 +1 I totally agree with you, its amazing how so many people are bitter and spout BS regarding Lewis. He's a gifted driver end of story

[chrismarkbicknell]

@1010thechamp I suggest you actually watch some F1!!! Hamilton was cheated out of the race at Spa and as a result should have been champion before Interlagos. Hamilton is a class act. The best driver we have produced since Mansell

[sekky123]

@1010thechamp youre just bitter that hamilton made it into f1 and not you. Mclaren were supporting him at this time so he must have had something special.

[FRFM00]

@mybizuk

You're a retard. Did you know that Glock's dry tyres was ACTUALLY Massa's LAST CHANCE for the WDC. If he went in wets Lewis would have cruised to the WDC. Him not coming for wets, and not being able to because of a CROWD FILLED PITLANE... gave Massa ONE LAST CHANCE. GET OVER IT.

[bmk139]

@ FRFM00 Well said, nice to see comments by someone who actually knows what they're talking about, and who understands tyre strategy.

[tabovilla]

i think this happend about the same time some guy bet 100 quid that hamilton would win the F1 Championship in 10 years.

great pilot hamilton

[colonelclaw]

From his racing lines to his car control, he had it all even at 13. Extraordinary
