Lewis Hamilton - The Charger

A Tribute to Lewis Hamilton, my 19th video. Sadly, we all know that due to the rivalry with Fernando Alonso and his African ancestry, this talented driver has A LOT of haters. But haters or not, it certainly doesn't affect his performances behind the wheel.

Hamilton is probably the only driver who we knew would be a star from the very first corner of his career, when he drove around the outside of his defending Champion team mate Fernando Alonso. In my opinion, the bravest debut ever.

From then on, he's mounted 3 title challenges in just 4 years and in the most hair-raising way possible, secured his first of what is surely many titles in 2008.

I hope you enjoy the video and for God's sake, no flamewars in the comments. If you're a Fernando fan, I have another video for that. Racism will not be tolerated. Thank you.

Imagine how boring F1 will be without hamilton...

@SmokerFace12 - With Kobayashi, Webber, Di Resta, Alonso and Schumacher still there, I'd imagine it'd still be pretty entertaining.

Monza 2008... Vettel won in similar conditions to Silverstone 2008 and he did it in a Torro Rosso.

[FormulaOneFan4Eva]

@curlyafroninja - Lol, did he win by 90 seconds? Anyway, the Toro Rosso was arguably the best car that weekend. The Ferrari engine at Monza was the obvious choice, and 3 of of the top 4 cars in qualifying were RBR designs.

Certain cars star at certain tracks and conditions, the Force India in 2009 for example was perfectly suited to Spa. While Monza 2008 was a very impressive win, it certainly doesn't mean Vettel is better than Hamilton, especially not in the wet.

I would have avoided mentioning his 5th place in Brazil 2008 in a highlights reel. What an embarassing way to win the championship, getting beaten by Vettel who you claim Hamilton 'owns' in the rain.

@Domashel - Lol, I shouldn't mention his first title in a highlights reel? Okay.

Secondly, I don't want to start a Hamilton vs. Vettel argument, but Hamilton was taking it easy in Brazil 2008 and was still under the impression that he was 4th before Vettel passed him. Perhaps if he was aware of Glock's lack of stopping, he would've defended a little harder when he clearly wasn't trying.

Finally, Britain 2008... Vettel has never produced such a drive. This is also coming from a 'Nando fan.

@RFCKB2K9 - Has it occurred to you after a good three years that if Glock wanted Hamilton to win the championship, he would've just pitted like everybody else?

So you're telling me that Glock wouldn't have pitted in order to take track position off Hamilton, only to let him through again for shits and giggles? That makes perfect sense... Get off my Tribute video.

He the first black man in F1 tooo !!!!

[DVDFerrari5]

I can't amagine what it would be like without hamilton...... The stewards would have less of a busy day!

^_^ So true

[GeneralRushHour]

@FormulaOneFan4Eva You are forgetting that it rained in Qualifying and Kubica, Hamilton and Raikkonen all started outside the top 10 due to a mistake.

NOT because the STR was better at Monza.

[GeneralRushHour]

@FormulaOneFan4Eva Not even close. You would have to bring back Senna from the dead to get the same entertainment as Hamilton gives us.

[curlyafroninja]

@foxtrotblack Then why is he a double world champion?

[foxtrotblack]

@curlyafroninja vettel sucks

[stevo3003]

Ace vid!

Every time I watch a Hamilton tribute video, I get disappointed by the fact he only has one title to his name. The amount of near misses he has had is silly.
