Actually, that ie how it works. The most talented driver will usually get the best team.
Drivers can be unlucky with teams though and there are only 2 slots available at Mercedes with one going to a driver who probably doesn't want a real competitor taking points off him.
Quite agree.
Yeap. He's matured and put some thought into his game. He rarely makes detrimental mistakes -- metronome-like for most parts and makes strategic calculations when required.
Alonso along with Hamilton are the best two of their generation. You gotta be in the right car at the right time in F1 and alonso has made some bad decisions in that regard.
Close
Not true at all.
Has Lewid proved anything in average car? Luckiest driver ever with cars.
4pm bst yes
In his rookie year he beat world champion alonso in the same car. Let’s stop with the ridiculous statements!Find it really weird how people love to try and put Lewis down or discredit his achievements. Dunno if it's his personality or what.
Who knows. Think people have different reasons, most probably stem from him winning constantly and it rubs people up the wrong way. The same thing happened with Schumacher and vettel.
So why did Ron Dennis recruit him to McLaren.
If you say he beat Alonso then you have to be fair to Button and Rosberg who beat him.
I agree. It’s really silly. He’s clearly one of the best ever.
They were going on about it being separate when we got sky q last year. Got a feeling my missus got Netflix added instead of f1 and no way I'm paying £18 more.
So what you're saying is Lewis was supposed to turn down the chance to drive for McLaren and he's supposed to go to Haas before he retires. Got it.
I'm on the sky legacy pacakage. Basically f1 was apart of the HD package years ago. I have stayed on that. If i change my sky tv package i lose the f1 and would have to pay more for f1 via sky sports. So for now im happy to be on the sky legacy package. As soon as sky lose F1, im unsubscribing from sky.
He beat them more times than they beat him. People use 2016 as a stick to beat Hamilton with, fully ignoring all the previous years Hamilton beat Rosberg.
Yeah it's annoying. The sky q interface isn't great either. My missus loves Netflix though.
British chauvinists did, just like they hyped Hamilton. By any objective standards they're in a different league. Hamilton is a talented driver but when he had the chance to make that count in a competitive car he didn't but lost out to Vettel with a good car but not a real top team, and also to his teammate Button. In the Mercedes he couldn't make it count because any competent driver in that car would have been WC, he only had to beat Rosberg and Bottas in which he only partly succeeded.
Hmm, it seems to be on skysports main event, so all good. Dunno if that's just the first race?
I have access to Sky Sports F1 as well as Main Event so I'm pretty sure it's valid for the season. According to the blurb F1 should be available in the normal sports pack regardless of Now TV:
Seems a bit harsh, but they do like to give penalties on yellow flags.
Seems odd- feck knows who will pay for it then. As long as it isn't me I don't care!
Yikes out of all then weird Hamilton post iv read over the years this tops the all those world class laps, amazing races, record wins and equal 7 world titles.
I like him personally, although I think he's no longer the best driver. it's just that Mercedes's cars are in a league of their own.
Suppose they have to be tough as it is for safety. 3 penalty points for him as well.
I can’t argue with this. I think this is a fair comment. If I had to pick 1 driver for 1 race tomorrow and all over drivers had the same car I would pick Max. But no can argue even though people in this thread are trying to be at one Lewis the best for a long time and an all time great. Not saying the greatest (Senna still imo) but he’s in that group.
I think it’s close between Verstappen and Hamilton. Personally I wouldn’t call one better then the other. They both are extremely good. That’s the only thing I can say for certain about them.
Iam a fan, he got me watching F1 again , after years not watching after seeing Senna die.
I agree, I reckon Verstappen is the better driver right now but obviously we're talking about slim margins.
