Not as much as you're insinuating. However i'm open to some facts on this. Tell me where in 2018, bar an obvious move in Russia, has he had a lot of help from his team mate that has given him the world title?
I don't think you needed to say that, it was painfully obvious from your first post.
Gotta take the scraps where you can find 'em I suppose.
You do realise that his first objective today was to finish the race right? If he finishes the rest of the races he will win the title anyway. Taking a risk to overtake Max and losing the points he got today would have been impetuous and unprofessional. Take the points and move on to Mexico. No need to take an unnecessary risk.
So bitter. Don’t even.
Can’t wait for Hamilton to win WC number 5 and move into the pantheon of all time greats.
It's happening as long as he finishes the race next weekend.
I know but he doesn’t rank up there along the greats. He does in number of titles but not in class.
What is he missing?
Class.
You must be a WUM - can't have a rational discussion on F1 with you.
Statistics don't remember class, otherwise Schumacher wouldn't be as regard as he is. By the time his career finishes, Hamilton will be regarded as one of the all time greats. You don't break records if you're not an all time great.You can’t put him on the same level as Schumacher in terms of talent, no way. Let alone Senna and others. Nope.You must be a WUM - can't have a rational discussion on F1 with you.
You can easily put him in the same bracket, the numbers do not lie.
I'll bite. I have Lewis 5th on my all time list. Senna, Jim Clark, Fangio, Schumacher. You?
And Senna and Schumacher were renowned for theirs
.What’s this about?
You can’t say he isn’t a true great compared to Senna and Schumacher and use class as your argument.
Ffs. Two of the greatest, but just as “classless” as your detested Lewis.You definitely can. He’s in the same bracket no doubt. Utterly brilliant driver. It’s often hardest to admit that the people we like the least are the most talented. I’ve been there with many a footballer or actor. But Lewis is already top 5 all time, and could well end his career top 3.
Question is whether this is the cause of his poor form, or the result of it. He’s taken way too much abuse for my liking this season. He’s a top, top driver. Bracket below Hamilton for sure, but if Ferrari hadn’t botched a series of strategic calls, he’d be neck and neck in the championship race.
He already is.You must be a WUM - can't have a rational discussion on F1 with you.
I don't know. He just said it after the race and not added anything else to defend his privacy.
Maybe reflecting his erratic form on it?
Who knows. Don't think he is gonna tell us more.
Schumacher and Senna would wipe the floor with the current lot of drivers. Current drivers may have speed, but those two would absolutely destroy them mentally. Senna would get into their heads and Schumacher would destroy them from outright relentlessness. The latter was a fecking machine when it came to winning and apart from an engine blow up at Suzuka in 2006, would have been an 8X WDC having clawed back a 20 odd point gap to the bloke who is widely considered the best current driver.
Let's be honest, Schumacher had a second stab at the current 'lot' of drivers and struggled.
Schumacher , came back 2010-12 and could not compete, think his best was a 4th.
Top post, you’ve got it figured out, entirely. He was made to look a real fool by the current crop because he was, and in fact always was, a fraud of a driver.
What a joke.
I never once said that Sch was not a fantastic driver I was pointing out that Sch would not wipe the floor with the present set of drivers.
I am neither biased and I fully understand how F1 has changed , some for the good and no so good, I have been watching F1 since the early 80's .
Got a feeling Hamilton would like that too. It’d stroke his ego if he was the one to bring back the drivers championship after all these years.
It's probably fair, Silverstone over the weekend gets over 300,000 people.
