@Irish Man I am not a Lewis fan but come on man, yeah they would have given him a bit tougher time than bottas and that's it , he barely makes mistakes in the race and all of his moves are well thought.
@Irish Man Max would get destroyed in Mercedes It would not be fair at all, You have ZERO evidence to back your claim We have a 6 time world champion Just keep dreaming
@Irish Man Charles had the better car because ferrari was cheating most if the thats why hed had 7 poles lol. Lewis got so many 2nd places in qualifying when it should not have been possible. And once the face is on lewis is just a not h above everyone with his speed, tiremanagemant and consistency making no mistakes
I think the reporter did a great job by congratulating him for the race win first. It really made Lewis feel more comfortable for his questionable action and open up his inner feelings. You can see it in his eyes in the beginning.
Yeah definitely made him feel more comfortable before asking if the better man won 🤣😂 caught him off guard with that. Didn't have one of his usual pre prepared answers ready.
"Questionable action " Literally nothing questionable about it...They already had the constructors title wrapped up, so only the drivers title could be resolved, and it was down to him and Nico (because the engine failure in Malaysia by itself caused something like a 30 point swing in the championship) He never caused a collision, or even got close to doing that... he literally didn't do anything wrong, and arguably did the best thing he could to try and win the title. But haters like you will always find reasons to shit on him, how you gonna trash a guy for wanting to win...in a competitive sport...ridiculous.
"Questionable" Put yourself on his position lol. I'm not consider myself as Hamilton fans (I don't like his primadona off-track image but that's pretty much it), but even I could honestly admit had I was in his position I would do the same. It's the culmination of your entire season that was on the line there, wouldn't just let my teammate and rival had it on silver platter.
@@ADCFproductions I'm so confused, man. My original comment was about Rosberg's and Hamilton's age old friendship which went to shitter between 2014 and 2016. Both were total cucks to each other on and off the track.
Jokes aside I think she was trying to hear what Lewis was saying, probably waiting for a meltdown or something. Kind of a let me grab my popcorn situation.
him not agreeing to "the better man won" can go both ways.. 1. petty, or 2. honesty.. in this case he was honest..either of them could have won that year
@@stupidmg And shunted his mate whilst he was on 1st place in one of them.... DNF'd one more time and got to crying... His teammate that year had a few car meltdowns and still ended on points and showed more will to continue... All in all, in hindsight at least the cryboy behaved well considering he could idk, leak telemetry on twitter or some kind of mad shit...
Rosberg did the most perfect thing he could have ever done for the sport by leaving. He was super good, and he probably could have challenged lewis even nowadays with max in red bull, but he didnt need to. He had a family, and he got the most prestigious award in F1, and leaving at the end of 2016 means that he leaves at the top of his game, and that he was at the time, better than lewis. Him leaving made sense for his own life, lewis' life, and future of F1. While there obviously have been disagreements in the 2021 season, there haven't been much between the drivers since rosberg left. It made the sport more professional, and more about racing than rivalry. Honestly the best slam dunk in F1.
No he poëzie out he said himself I don’t wan lose to Lewis again or finish 6/7 ad the end of the year this was his top point to stop Becuse he wouldn’t beat him a other year mabye. Not poëzie out but he did wanted to fight anymore because he was afraid to lose
Really wished he stayed. He was the one to give some battle within Mercedes. 2017 and 2018 they had battles with Ferrari, it might have advantaged Ferrari while the 2 go for one another or it might just let Mercedes go further since Rosberg is really matching Hamilton's qualifying but not as much during the race. It might have handed Vettel the championship or stirred a different outcome. 2019 and 2020 would have been another Hamilton Rosberg duel.
I thought it was a great race. When it was clear what Ham was doing I rubbed my hands together, “game on Garth”. It was great to such high level skill from the top group. And Ham being able to put pressure on Rosberg from the front was impressive.
Idk what he said wrong. Sure, he said he didn’t agree that the better man won but he put on a smile as he said it even though I’m sure he was absolutely gutted. I think Nico acted far worse in 2015 after the championship decider than Lewis did in 2016.
@@ERIC44424 how not to hate him lol, he wins only when he has the better car and a not that competitive teammate, its a fact, a shame, and yes, he will most likely beat schumacher records, but he will never EVER will have the same effort as schumacher had when winning and doing qualy laps, schumi was magic, he was from another world, also the cars from his time were more difficult to drive so that puts more effort on him
Thesucker 200 and like Schumacher ever won with his pure skills??LoL..what a joke that is..he always won with the best car..always won by the help of his teammate and the awful team orders from Ferrari and yes not to mention all those dirty and notorious moves he made to others..and of course he had less competitors unlike Lewis always winning amongst the most competitive field of drivers with 6 WDC drivers. Michael made a great achievement..but that doesn’t mean his any better than Lewis Hamilton..Lewis already passed and will pass all the numbers he made and further up...it’s not a matter of who you like to support..it’s just an objective and fair point of view from everyone who knows F1 properly..
Cmon, this man just finished the last race of the most difficult season for him. Drivers always blame each other and say probably stupid things on a race track, and then very often respond that they were wrong (so many stories with Fettel for example) and that's ok. Just imagine the level of emotions after such an intence season. Its impossible to be reasonable and respectful in that moment, noone would be.
Look at the body language and discontentment in Lewis during this interview. Being a fan of F1, it was sooo difficult seeing Lewis in this position. Never gonna forget what happened in Malaysia. Still though; just imagine if Lewis hadn't made the early mistakes he had early in the season. He still would have easily been ahead in the standings. It's safe to say he learned from that year. He's stronger than ever, and still going strong.
Nico and Alonso, the only two guys in F1 to ever challenge Hamilton and expose him. Bottas, the only racer in F1 who loves being second Lewis Hamilton, the guy who wishes his championship wins were like Shumacher.
@@Bananananananannananananna one, F1 was never built on dominance or having the best car. 50s, 60s, 70s 80s guys died trying to pull the most out of their cars. So I’m thankful to see that now, the racers might not have to go to the extreme extents. two, on that same token, people like Jim Clark and Rindt won championships in very fragile cars. Jim Clark we also should know raced in some of the worst cars, ex Lotus. One season he managed one win and the rest were dnfs. Jim beat everyone somehow and we praised him for that. He was dominant in and out of the best machinery. With all of that being said, Hamilton is a chump. He is no different of a driver than to Button or Vettel who were also just good. Machinery has played a huge role in Hamilton’s career. Still the driver on the field with the best reliability rates. This computes to his 7 championships. If you compare this to Shumacher, he faced more reliability issues that Hamilton. A season where if he didn’t win or was on the podium he didn’t finish. He also states that “having car trouble is apart of Formula 1”. Hamilton is only a 7 timer because he’s been able to finish the most races than anybody else. Greatness goes beyond driving the best car. Rindt lost out to a championship while he was leading the race. And then he died with three races to go. Hamilton has also only been dominant to mediocre teammates and competition racers. Hamilton’s car is damn near second best, at worst third. To hear this man cry every race weekend is atrocious. Last weekend he stated that racing in Monaco isn’t fun…. This guy is a joke to me and to the sport. Vettel as well. Fast rookies that are fish out water with the best car. And with the best car in high stakes, make mistakes and lose out in championships. To a teammate, Alonso has never lost in a champion fight. Lewis cost himself the championship in China. And lost to Rosberg. One tie one loss. Alonso has none. Only coming second in inferior machinery to outside competition. Vettel cost himself the championship so many times it’s hilarious. Jimmy Clark, Jackie Stewart, J. Rindt, Fangio, and Alonso ect all were championships with and without. One could argue that Alonso was a champion with a mediocre car twice to two other champions. The record books are stained with this prick. Hamilton without a fast car, is nothing. He has no guts. As I said before, better machinery saved us, but it’s made a mockery for long enough. The cars are great. The drivers aren’t.
@@cadet15 just say that you dont like hamilton instead of writing an essay. I can understand why you dont like him because nobody likes who is winning but you can’t discredit the dude for his successes. Even vettel. How can you say vettel was bad too? Ur not making sense
@@Bananananananannananananna senna dealt with reliability issues , along with Shumacher, both overcame them. Shumi even said that it’s apart of Formula 1.
So was Schumacher, but nobody mentions that. Senna also had this mentality. You think maybe there is a correlation there between winning/being the best? I do!
That's when peak Hamilton started imo 2017 and 2018 Hamilton was unbeatable if it was anyone else vettel could have been a 5 time world champion but you just couldn't win against Hamilton back then
"Help myself, because no one else will help me." This statement right here is the perfect example of the mindset hamilton has when it comes to his career and the reason why most people find him so insufferable. Always ready to play the victim card
Years on from this and after Lewis winning four more championships I can say this is the one area I do not like him. He allows things to hang out there about the team. "Given equal cars" suggests the team was against him. Yes, he had mechanical failures but on a whole his entire career has seen unreal reliability. His race starts in the early season is what truly put him behind.
Stop talking nonsense. Nico has just as much of a bad starts. Yes doesn’t it seem fishy to you he was the only mercs hitting with relability woes? Cant blame him for doubting! Now stfu and to back in your cave!
Japanese grand prix. The championship was still open. Rosberg outqualified Hamilton, then Lewis had a poor start, lost places and only managed to climb back to 3rd. Rosberg won the championship on that day. Then in the last 4 rounds, Nico drove conservative, but flawless, brought the advantage home. Hamilton was faster, had more pace on his best days, but lacked consistency in 2016 to be the champion. Rosberg beat him enough times to collect more points. Today, Hamilton is the 7-time champion, but 2016 taints his otherwise brilliant achievements. In 2007 - the car was a cheat, McLaren was disqualified for spying on Ferrari and it was only fair for Kimi to be the champion, Hamilton still beat Alonso to 2nd. But 2016? He could be considered the best in the history, hadn't it been for a title loss to a teammate.
rosberg had flawless race reliability. even with hamilton's horrific starts, he still should have won were it not for that engine failure in malaysia from the lead.
There is mountains of proof that the 2007 Mclaren was fully legal and free of any information taken from Ferrari, infact, that's partly why the drivers kept their points. Does Lewis 'deserve' to win in 2007? I'm not here to judge. But the fact is that 2007 was one of the best rookie seasons of all time and something that will positively never happen again. The fact that he went level on points with a prime Alonso and beat him on count back is enough to say that this dude has always had speed coursing through him.
@@abhitejvelore one can't help but wonder... why didn't they just run a conservative strategy at china to ensure hamilton becomes champion? you say there are mountains of proof yet, the image of f1 was likely at stake. the biggest scandal in the history of the sport with mclaren possessing illegal information and how would f1 look if there was a mclaren champion? i believe that neither alonso and hamilton were allowed to win but they weren't outright DSQ to avoid public backlash.
You can see how much Lewis is holding back how he wants to say he was the better driver overall, and only lost due to bad luck/reliability, which is kind of true really...
The “better man” won? Yeah right. More like the lucky man won. Says a lot about Hamilton’s skills that in the one year he lost the championship to his teammate, he still won more races than Rosberg. Only difference is Rosberg’s car was just more reliable
I agree with you there. And even though Nico raced very well and extremely hard that year he did get lucky with some circumstances. The one that stands out to me is Malaysia when Hamilton was leading and then his engine caught fire and he had to retire the race
salman ahjum-mathee Honestly “lucky” doesn’t even begin to describe Rosberg’s 2016 season. He was more than just lucky, he was practically handed the championship on a silver platter really! Remember Mercedes decided to swap their mechanics at the start of the season? They gave Hamilton’s mechanics to Rosberg and Rosberg’s to Hamilton and it all went downhill for Lewis from there. He started having all these mechanical issues with his car, from gear box to brake failures all the while Rosberg’s car ran as smooth as ever
For all those people saying hes a cry baby and every name under the sun, u honestly cant say u wouldn't have done anything different in his situation cuz I would have done the same thing he didn't give up and gave it everything he could. We have one of the most talented sportsman and all people do is slate him 🤷♂️
classic loser crybaby who can't accept defeat, so this is f1's "4-time world champion" huh? what a fucking crybaby, fucking loser, he's just lucky to have merc as his car fucking cry hamilcry pathetic loser. can't accept shit
Niki Lauda said it best. Rosberg retired because the continued intense battle with Lewis would have hurt him. Lewis is a natural, when you fight with naturals sooner or later you get hurt. Good move by Rosberg to listen to his wife and get out on top. Best move indeed.
You're right, one of the greatest thing about him is his consistency. Some drivers might have sparks of total brilliance (or even just old fashioned luck) and beat him in a race or even in a championship like Nico but over the course of years he's like a hammer, consistently over and over maintaining a super high standard.
@@capuchinseven Being a natural at something is like being beautiful, you are gifted and you don't have to try hard. You be yourself and all of a sudden the world admire it. Having said that, I really appreciate people who fight and win against themselves. !
@@capuchinseven I have more respect for nico now than when he was racing as I didn't realise what he had to sacrifice just to beat Hamilton to the championship the once. Even in radio controlled cars at 6-7 he was beating adults.... gifted and damned hard work.
i dont like hamilton, but if you are in his position and you want to win the title, you have to play the cards your dealt like he played them. its that simple. if not.. you dont want it bad enough. winning the f1 title isnt all sunshine and rainbows.
I dont hate him, and in the future people will regard him as one of the greats, with senna and lauda and schumacher and all them. It just gets boring seing him win every damn race.
exactly my thoughts. I dont watch that much F1, mostly MMA, but there are a lot of parallels (as in all rule based competition). Recently a fighter was getting shit for quitting a fight after getting knocked down with an illegal knee. He won because his opponent got disqualified. I couldnt believe what I read online afterwards. What was the dude (Diego Sanchez) supposed to do? Continue a fight that he was loosing anyway after getting knocked down illegally? Take extra damage to put on a show and make less money? I mean comon, the people who play nice didnt even make it to that level and that is why people who didnt make it to that level think theyd act differently.
Nice guys don't win championships. You have to be single minded and selfish to have the right mentality. It goes with any sport. Michael Schumacher wasn't a nice guy on track, like when tried taking out Villneuve to win the championship but he is still a legend to keep that mentality to win 7 championships.
what's annoying from this is not what he did on track. That was 100% fair game. However, after losing the championship implying that his car was not equal and that ti was not the better man who won.... Sore loser.
@@zacharywhite211 I know people dont like him but geez. It's not like he's telling an outlandish story as an excuse, that's what happened that season he had a few DNFs.
"What am I supposed to do? Let the dude steal my title" - Nicholas LATIFI - (The real G.O.A.T. who scored points during 2021 season more than Senna, Fangio, Messi, Trump and even Nicki Minaj)
Still don't understand to this day how anyone can think Hamilton was doing anything wrong here. This race was literally just Rosberg vs. Hamilton for the championship with Merc already sealing the constructor's. He didn't need to play his team game, he had to win for himself and he did what he could within the rules. Fair play that's why he's a 7 time champion.
@Yuri DeKhed “a recorded interview” - that seals it for me. Good job it was you Yuri and a precise explanation of the source. If it was anyone else, we could be forgiven thinking someone made that up to serve their narrative of spreading toxic comments about a driver they didn’t like.
@Yuri DeKhed Ah don’t mind me I’m just joshing with you (kudos to you for having the hutzpah to post such utter b*llocks). Like the user name BTW - amusing and describes you perfectly.
@@kevinlin2028 Williams swap with George seems to be obvious but nothing is certain until and unless they are officially confirmed.. But in my opinion it is the most probable thing brother.... Lets wait and watch as the season progresses.!!
Slowing Rosberg down? No problem. That was fair. But being a sore ass loser afterwards? Refusing to concede gracefully? Accusing the team of not giving him an equal car? Pathetic.
@@Mantayn dude is arguably the luckiest driver in F1 history. Not a ding to his talent, but he really is fortunate to be in the most competitive car in F1 history. Yet, he still has a massive chip on his shoulder. Like he needs to prove himself to some imaginary haters that say he's not great.
@@zacharywhite211 it's mad to say that he isn't also hated. whether you want to admit it or not, racing is a rich white boys club, there's a lot of racism and classism. he doesn't have a chip on his shoulder for no reason.
You have to be selfish to win a world championship these days. Lewis did what he had to do to both win the race and give himself the best chance to win the title
These days??? It never was different. You ALWAYS had to be selfish to win the championship in F1. Fangio had to be, Clark had to be, Lauda had to be, Prost had to be, Senna had to be, Schumacher had to be...every Champion was selfish and had to be. Everyone who thinks different has no idea about F1.
Probably 2010s not a good decade for F1, two vastly overrated drivers in rocket ships racking up stats that flatter them. Dont matter how many numbers they have, they will never be in the same category as Senna, Clark, Prost, Lauda etc.
EXACTLY!! he deserves to lose, hope mercedes are trash next year and ham never wins a title again. Edit 2019: Guess I was wrong and naive, since this comment I have gained a lot of respect for HAM, he deserves every bit success he has earned. I grew up in the Schumacher days, and for me he will always be the GOAT. But if theres one guy who comes the closest, and who might well surpass him in records, it's Hamilton. All the very best to him.
TorrentialTech Probably when he has his talks with his strategists before the races his strategists told him the only have to win the championship was to backup nico
yea ur right after races of ALWAYS allowing space to another driver that is known to just take over the track like he's the only 1 driving on it and dangerously continues to block while taking ppl down to the wall knowing full well he's right next to you and JUST TURN ON IN... like mike tyson said I had enough of the head butts and bit his ear... and that said driver had it coming...keep on poking at the boss though
For a long time, I thought LH smashed Max Verstappen deliberately off the track in Silverstone. But after having watched the first lap over and over again, I need to say: They didn't make any gifts to each Other back then. That means: Verstappen was in front in the corner, yes, that is right. But then there was the crash in the end. Whose fault ever it was 🤷
@@markusgro-bolting3070 "Verstappen was in front in the corner, yes" Max was in front , turned in way later then normal , left space for 2 cars on the inside and was hit on his rear wheel ... That in combination with Lewis braking hard because he divebombed the corner says it all :)
What Lewis did was much worse than Checo backing him up since he went against team orders and did it to his own teammate. He cuts the chicane in lap 1 and builds a gap on Max and was never penalized for that in a race that had no safety cars that wasn’t virtual, meanwhile all we talk about is how the race was stolen in the last lap. Pathetic
FIA already told Red Bull they were satisfied that Lewis gave back all the time advantage gained from cutting the chicane, hence why there was no penalty.
@@tsujimasen yeah but FIA isn’t exactly correct despite their rulings. Watching the race both announcers agreed he should’ve given the place back. It’s clear as day they were favoring Lewis. They went motor racing at the end thanks to Masi so they could crown the real champion
@@connorclarke1218 Correct or not, that was the paradigm of the season. If you didn’t have a positional change, and you gained a time advantage by leaving the track, if you have back the advantage, you were ok. Multiple drivers, not just Hamilton or Verstappen, took advantage of that rule that season.
This is the perfect example of why people don't like Hamilton. He sings his own praises before anything else, insults the champion who used to be his best friend until Nico dared to challenge him, and demonstrates his hypocrisy yet again. When a multiple champion sabotages his teammate on the way to his first championship, that's not a gentleman, that's a greedy dirtbag.
I do belive that in 2020 Bottas would disagree with that statement tho, Hamilton has gotten more than a few wins thanks to eighter "Valterii this is James" or the team keeping Bottas out longer than ideal for his race, in order to keep competition pinned behind Bottas. (With that said, it's part of the game)
@Jan Petter England Most of the time though, it’s when Bottas is already out of the title race. But even when it does happen early on, it’s somewhat Bottas fault. He just never questions the team the same way Hamilton does, I’m not sure he’d ever do something like Hamilton did at Abu Dhabi 2016.
@@USMCLP I was simply pointing out that many of Hamiltons P1's the last couple of years was made alot easier with him having Bottas as figurative shield between him and Ferrari or Redbull. not counting this year in that cause the Merc has been incredibly fast and Ferrari... I don't want to talk about it :'( This being said Hamilton has proven himself to be an amazing driver, and would probably have won many of them anyhow, just not as comfortably
@@Spelitus “Valtteri its James” only happens once its impossible for him to win the driver’s championship anyway, this is a fact 👍🏽 Bottas finished behind Vettel & Kimi in 2017 & 2018 & only finished 6 points ahead of Verstappen last year so shh 🤫 “Copy James.”
@@Spelitus bottas needs to be more aggressive. he has moments were you see it and it works. he needs to tap into that. he is not fooling anyone with that calm demeanor. there is a beast in there crying to get out.
A lot say he’s a spoilt crybaby who doesn’t like losing. Will win at all costs. If anyone thinks you’ll succeed and be the best/fastest without that attitude, you’ll come second. And we all know what second is ...
@@leenakahlan7440 I mean with so many dumb haters around together with stupid sensational news sources that jump on literally any slip of words that he says, he kinda have to be careful about it.
@@leenakahlan7440 I think it’s because his words were used against him on multiple occasions and his words would always get twisted around that’s why he’s more careful now
I mean, he was attacked for this move by the tabloid press as a "dirty driver" despite it being totally legal within the sporting regulations. Quoting Lewis, "what do you expect me to do"? He has to put on a PR-friendly persona to the media because when he didn't in his earlier career he was criticised for it. 🤷
I have no problem with his tactics if anything I like them but I just don’t like all his excuses about technical difficulties, he more than found out about how it feels to be on the other end of it in 2017 and 2018 vs Ferrari!
@@LoQOpa the 2017 championship changes if seb doesn't cause that singapore shunt, him and 2 others were ahead of Lewis but Lewis got the 25 points that seb could have got. In 2018 Seb throws 25 points away with a lock up in Azerbaijan a moment in hockenheim and spins in the 2nd stage of the season. Thise championships were there for the taking and Seb blew it.
Next thing you know. Checo is backing Lewis up. Lewis : Dangerous driving How nice is it to see how a driver behaves when his luck is back on earth. Alonso : Karma
These are the types of videos where the Lewis fanboys and the Lewis haters come to fight. Any driver will do anything to win. Lewis was 12 points behind Nico to win the WDC. He wanted to back Nico up for Sebastian and Max to pass him. Not the best team strategy, but who cares, they already won the WCC, it's all about the WDC now. If Nico finished 4th, then Lewis wins, but Nico managed to hold on. After getting beaten by Lewis for two years. This is a well deserved WDC for Rosberg, and a good fight from Lewis.
Oh yes, a lot of Lewis fans lie to portray Rosberg as an average driver who won on luck in 2016. If that's the case then Hamilton getting beaten by an "average driver" looks even worse on Hamilton than it does on Rosberg. Truth of the matter is that Rosberg capitalised on whatever happened to Hamilton (poor starts, mechanical issues which gave him grid penalties, his shocking Baku weekend) and attained the best possible results in those races. That is exactly what you have to do to win.
