Exclusive Lewis Hamilton Interview | Reflects On The 2022 F1 Season | C4F1 

i got into F1 a few years ago (DTS season 1). i became Max fan and the whole underdog story(beating a 7 time world champ). but after the 2021 season and how both Max and Lewis handled Abi Dubai. i recognize how mature and great of a human Lewis actually is. i genuinely appreciate Lewis's humility and consideration. big fan of lewis!

Lewis is a legend of the sport. Feel lucky to have lived through his era. Excited to see him go up against the new three headed lion of Max, Charles and George all in top cars/ teams in his final years.

Lewis and Mclaren, "the love is still there". A privilege to witness this man's greatness in my lifetime. Continues to inspire me everyday. Still we rise!

I know this season is not what he expected in terms of performance but I think he needed a year without a title fight. Lewis will definitely come back stronger next year

He's the very best. We love you Lewis.

Lewis is credit to racing and deserves more recognition . I got into the sport in 2007 following him and he was the wow factor the sport was missing at the time

he's so much relaxed and cool with everything. He came a long long way till here, he grown A LOT since 2007 and since 2021. I'm proud of him

Love this guy... Good luck next season...

Lewis just shows how much of an amazing person you can be despite being involved in a sport with so many vipers and bad actors, he's the real deal.

I was never Lewis' biggest fan but as he's nearing the end of his career, my respect for him is growing with each day. I'd have to say that Seb and Lewis (Fernando too) deserve all the respect from fans, even though we have preferences.

Not lewis calling out Sophie’s comment about checo💀💀💀🤚🤚🤚🤚

LEGEND!! such a legend who has inspired millions!!!

Great interview. It’s rare to get Lewis to open up and explain a few of his viewpoints. Nice to hear he’s also someone who struggles with receiving love. Hopefully all the hard work done this year results in a competitive car next year that can challenge for both titles 🤞🏾

Lewis Hamilton, the definition of peace and calm. What a great mindset and fantastic human being!

Enjoyed this interview so much, wish it was longer. Lewis has grown so much over the years, and is generally just a pleasure to watch, on and off the track. Can't wait to see what he achieves next year, with hopefully, a more competitive car

I loved this interview. Such quiet skill to bring such an easy, warm, authentic vibe as an interviewer. And Sir Lewis, just what a class act. Gracious and charming and truly what a driver!

Really love Lewis as a person, he’s seems like a nice person to talk to, funny and very positive orientated. He has such a strong mentality, lots to learn from him. Thank you

How the hell has Lewis been able to handle the last year with all the bull. We all have a lot to learn from him how to conduct yourself even though the pain. I would hope that a lot of these young black men see an interview like this and the conduct of Lewis through his career, how to handle yourself in public because it's not easy. Nice work Lewis. The interview was nicely done good job Steve.

Damn I love this man. What a true blessing he is to the sport.

I hope I meet this man one day. I remember the day after he won the 2020 championship in Turkey. He posted on Instagram about mental health, how to stay positive, don't give up, keep fighting and live in the present. That day I found out my father was diagnosed with Alzheimer's and I was in a bad way. His post changed my life trajectory, I'm forever thankful to him for that.

Such a truly nice guy and a gentleman throughout!! Good on you Lewis!

I think the hardest year of Sir Lewis Hamilton's life that he was referring to was 2011. Personally, in his life, that year sucked. Troubles with father Anthony because he had to drop him as his manager to let himself free to further his career in F1, troubles with his girlfriend at the time, Nicole Scherzinger, which was on and off until 2015 when they stopped. It affected him so much mentally; even his performances on track in 2011 were reflected by his mood on that day/week. Former McLaren mechanic, Marc "Elvis" Priestley commented on this: back then in 2011, and continuing with the Mercedes mechanics in 2015, the mechanics joked "It was to better for lap time to focus efforts on keeping their relationship good, than anything we could put on the car." Hamilton was later able to mend and grow the relationship with his father and now has grown into a healthier man mentally. Proud of him. ❤

Lewis is the guy who got me into Formula One and never looked back snice 2007.

What a kind and eloquent man. Such a clear view on things, so positive and appreciative and incredibly humble! That´s what defines champions. Thank You, Lewis and lets go big time next year!

Lewis continually impresses with his integrity, sportsmanship, centeredness... He's really a unique and special driver and I'm glad i got to see this all unfold.

I'll be honest, I'm a Max fan but I love watching Lewis during interviews. He's incredibly humble and has such a great attitude to everything. I hope he has a better year in 2023.

boy just raced 3 diffirent gens in his whole season the only one can challenged seb in his prime the only one can challenged prime KIMI and alonso in his first season its so good that it takes 15 years straight just to make him lose

I loved this season Lewis, not holding back in interviews

Lewis agreeing to do the early testing just shows how much he wants the No.8. After all the winning, all the titles, all the poles, he still chases greatness. Icon 👑

Great Conversation. Drivers not standing for nothing but themselves. Bang on. They don’t have a backbone. Seb is indeed an amazing guy.

Very illuminating to hear Lewis admit that he struggles with receiving love and admiration from others. As someone who has difficulty even receiving the slightest compliment, it's interesting to see someone of his stature deal with the same phenomenon.

Everytime I watch an interview of Sir Lewis, I think to myself : this is the best, another one comes out and I go oh this is the best, now I am wondering : how many 'best' do I have? Nevertheless this is beyond amazing, I smiled all through.

Love the interviews you guys do together, always a nice chat

What a pleasure to watch such a fantastic role model. And ambassador for the sport of F1.

A great racer and a true ambassador of the sport. We will never witness a driver like Lewis Hamilton again.

*STILL WE RISE* 🖤4️⃣4️⃣🏆🙏

Have trust in James Alison . He will be back with a brilliant car next year to fight with RB & Ferrari.

He's more relaxed this year which is fantastic to see!

For me, this Legend is the GOAT 🐐 Raced and beat the best in several generations, had countless 10/10 unstoppable drives, and drove a whole new fanbase to F1 that represented diversity and inclusion, to which he actively promoted. His decision to back and stick with Mercedes at least equals the legend of Sr Stirling Moss. With titles matching Schumacher it's safe to say he's chilling with the gods in motorsport. 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆 This is just insane!

What an amazing person! Always interested in listening! True True Legend ! Thank you!

Lewis,you’re a truly a decent human being and an absolute legend,I’ve followed your progress from karting until now and I’m so proud to have witnessed your amazing rise in F1,thanks for the wonderful memories…..Peace.

Lewis really loves bullying people into skydiving 🤣

I really became a fan of Lewis this year. Seeing the positivity he brought to the team even on the toughest of weekends. I'm hoping Mercedes are back towards the front in 2023.

I love this boy 💛💜

Can we take a minute to appreciate how good Steve Jones is as an interviewer….. he is definitely up there with Brundle now in making drivers feel relaxed and gets them talking.

Lewis Hamilton is a fighter a strong champion, watch him 2023 he will bounce back. Never give up Still he rise LH44 💜🥇🏆👊🏾

The man has lightning in his eyes. Quick af.

I love listening to these interviews with Lewis. He's truly inspiring and its humbling to witness someone who has faced as much as he has and still walks in positive, uplifting, lifting others up, compassionate and humble himself. I think we could all learn something from him. True legend...

That skydiving story is so real. I have gone up with people who talk a ton of stuff but when they get to the door their legs give out and they beg not to go 😂😂😂😂😂😂

Lewis Hamilton has the best skills set in a formula 1 car and demonstrates his expertise also helping individuals within his team and surrounding out side of his workplace by raising awareness by including Children who are at Schools to learn and be inspired to get the best out of every detail of their daily lives and just like him to go faster.

Fantastic driver. Person. Awesome. GOAT.

I genuinely feel grateful to have grown up supporting this legend through it all being an F1 fan since after Michael's days and learning about his story as I grew up after being a baseless Schumacher fan and never doubted his grind and skill through many bad times/"hate" or whatever you want to call it, I feel great to have witnessed the greatest of his time break every wall down and speak so well mostly about it all 😏🙌

What a humble man. Living legend imo.

Thanks for sharing, Lewis Larbalestier-Hamilton the Best of his generation as a racer and incredibly humble.

I enjoy watching Lewis interviews. So refreshing and interesting. Smiled throughout. ❤

C4 interviews are top notch

Great interview tbh, tend to be the same old F1 interviews but this is was different.

beautiful message about gratitude and looking to positivity! you have a beautiful soul

Lewis...I know that he is a legend, but he is more than that. Every time he is a true inspiration, every year he is better and better. True champion, a real human beeing and example 💜💜💜

It has been a pleasure watching him grow as a driver and as a human being. A champion on and off the track. Keep shinning goat.

Great wrap up 👌

Love this guy ❤ gratitude attitude

Respect to Lewis for his resilience and skills in F1. He has a good attitude and work ethic and is such an inspiration.

You guys always deliver quality interviews. Great job

Great interview, Steve, you hit the nails on the head whilst keeping the respect. Looking forward to '23!

He’s such a lovely lovely lad how can anyone dislike ihim

This is such a good interview. Surprised it hasn't more views. Lewis is very inspirational

The first ever f1 race I watched was also his first ever f1 race, I remember watching him win his first championship and all 6 that came after. He's one hell of a driver and deserves a little more respect for the legend he is 🙌

Why does everyone have to preface comments with “I’m not a Lewis fan”, is it impossible to pay respect to the man without saying that first?

“Somebody’s mother posting something” - We all know who he’s talking about here!

I really enjoyed this interview - I've always been a Lewis fan. Let's hope their car gets them back to the sharp end next year!

I love Lewis man

Amazing man, amazing video

I will be waiting for that book AND documentary! Lewis LEGEND!

Lewis is just an amazing human being!! So easy to love him

Great interview, and loved Lewis’s words on Seb..

Lewis, what an exceptional gentleman.

Great guy!

I love both Max and Lewis, and I know it’s normal for rivals to don’t always like each other. But how I wish both of them would be on good terms and that we could have some good wheel to wheel racing between them. They are the two best drivers on the grid and I hope we just get some good fair racing between them. But as it looks now, with how Lewis and Max race differently against each other it’s a shame. They have good wheel to wheel with everyone else. I hope they find some middle ground between them.

You get the impression that he cannot manoeuvre the car how he wants because of how it's currently built. I hope God will grant him a car he can manage how he wants so he can get back to winning ways in 2023. As a Sport's Person, and a Human being, he has become a shinning star.

Amazing interview!

fantastic interview!

As a Max fan big respect for Lewis! Let’s hope for a nice fight between goat Lewis and goat Max upcoming season!❤🎉

This was his grounding year. it's only gonna spur him on. 8 is coming.

love this... feels like last couple of years have made him show more of his humanity... ah true role model of and on the track

The GOAT! he's had many up and downs, but he still kicks ass after all of it. The face Fernando had when Lewis first arrived was priceless.

Had a much stronger season than the points reflected. Made a few more mistakes than usual but pace wise was right up there since Canada

Even if Lewis never beats Michael's record in the future, just to have made it that far is still an achievement. Remember Lewis shared the track with all the greats, Alonso, Kimi, Seb, Schumi, Button. Can you imagine how many world champions he has raced with in his early days

An exemplary human. We'll see you in 2023, Sir LH.

An incredible human being. He’s Sir Lewis for a reason. Praying Mercedes can give him a championship wining car next year. He deserves to win his 8th WDC

Lewis is so calm in these most recent interviews. Before he was a little curt, when answering questions. He's over 35 now, he's like I don't have time for the BS. Yes, please ask me about Max for the 90th time today??? Cool. Imma get through this and then go sky dive. ✌🏽

Guys, everyone, especially us competitive people, we have to protect ourselves against hate. Meaning, we can't dislike someone or talk smack simply because you think you are better. At the end of the day, you gotta earn that mess because history/time is not kind to ANYONE that is ok with winning regardless of how they got it including being gifted the win or cheating for it. That's why, whether Max or his fans like it or not, we will debate his first championship till the end of time. Let's get back to why we are here in the first place. Fangio, Moss, Senna, Hunt, Mansell, they didn't have time to think about that crap because most of their talent was absorbed by trying not to die! And that alone made it about who has the biggest balls and who is able to conquer all the elements to come out on top. Not this elementary bullshi* we are currently on about. Merry Christmas, God bless and see y'all next year 💪🏾

Why is the color grade inconsistent? The close up looks like the log footage wasn’t graded

Worst year was 2011 I’d imagine

Wow what an amazing man Lewis is, magnificent on and off the track, had goosebumps listening to that interview. Indeed the way he dealt with last year's rip off was inspirational and a great example to children, the guy was sporting and gracious and that will be remembered probably more than any of hos WDCs. Hope he gets more success in the furlture and of course nothing like that travesty of Abu Dhabi ever happens again. Good luck Lewis you're a legend, the goat and our king. 🏎️🏁😁👍

When they get that car right that he is helping to develop, he should be back to winning

The best 2 ever do it.

Sir Lewis Hamilton just so you know I can come back and say I witness your legendary achievements

Supporting Lewis for his 8th title next year .

knowing mercedes' nature of being extremely effective n thorough in basically everything including management n all these other little details, all just to get the most out of the team, i know that they are gonna bounce back really soon. the only team that has the same trait is red bull. they just need to figure out how to do it without breaching the cost gap.
