To this channel , I thank you for actually admitting and acknowledging what those of us in the black community have seen from the start of lewis career
I think a load of us have seen him as what he is from 2007, the best driver of this generation if not of all time, don't know why you brought race into it
People are jealous of him for being so talented. He will only be respected and appreciated after his retirement, despite being an 8-time World Champion...
@ianjames92 He is Predominantly Black despite having a White Mother, they despise him for the colour of his skin and the glaring fact that he came from an ordinary working family, and not from a rich millionaire family with financial clout. who could have afforded the best equipment to begin with.
@ianjames92I'm glad that you got to read my comment, because someone has removed my comment and it wasn't me. Seems like they are some behind the scenes who can't stand the pink elephant beings exposed for what it is.
Racism is real all around the world even after the whole black lives matter movement and i really hate it it needs to stop i mean why can.t we just love eachother for who we are wheither your black trans gay a tat bit fat we should all love eachother and not hate eachother for no good reason
He stands for BLM, LGBT, calls out the FIA boss, is still the only black driver to be in F1, whilst also having the greatest record in it's history, what's not to like?
You forgot that in 2016 LH had many reliability in Qualifies that forced him to have grid penalties or even start from last. I believe it was 4-5 races that he couldnt start from his position. Also, he changed for new engines in Belgium and the Malasya race it was a brand new one. That engine failure was absurd and smell like sabotage. He would have destroyed Rosberg if he didnt had any issues.
reliability is part of the sport thinking merc purposely sabotaged lewis which cost merc 25 points is pure delusion lest not forget nico had more dnf in 2014 and 2015, 2014 silverstone he was leading and dnf, 2015 russia was leading and dnf, lets not forget the countless times bottas was being used as a slave, didnt see u saying merc sabotaged bottas race, lets not forget the countless amount of times lewis had a bad start in 2016, lets not forget the crashgate in 2008 when singapore result should have been cancellled thus making massa champion in 2008.... lewis fans always play the victim
@@rodbattler9420 One of the things it was rumoured in 16 it was Mercs wanted a German champion in a German car. Issue is that Rosberg always raced with Monaco flag until he got into F1, but changed because he knew it would boost his chances. It is also rumoured that he bribed some of the staff to get them on his side. In 16, all the best engg, mechs and etc were at his side of the garage, which let LH with the rookies and unprepared. Also, it is confirmed that LH used a special kind of oil in Malaysia that they only used on that race, to boost his engine, which was brand new, but failed. I believe he was sabotaged that year up. In 17 they wouldnt and thats why Rosberg retired. Toto got to sign Bottas and make extra money (he was his manager) and Mercs got a "German" champion.
Spot on. If he were white, he would be praised for being the best there ever was. There is a lot of hate for black people around the world. Especially one that is the best at his craft.
Lewis 💛💜 is disturbing a lot of people : he has a lot of talent and the most wins, he is respectful and humble, he 'dares' to protest, wear jewelry and original outfits and he's black. All that doesn't fit to the so called normal, narrow minded people, FIA, F1 even some team leaders. By being a black athlete so successful but not conventional creates jealousy and envy among the rigid cast. I wish Lewis a lot more wins and that he mentally can deal with the pressure the uneducated put on him.🤞🤞
@@CronkieStonkie69 racism has a lot to do with it i remember when them Spanish fans couldn't help them selfs painting there faces black to mock Lewis Eddie Jordan and Jackie Stewart most racists towards Lewis
I have concluded that Hamilton's haters and critics are too emotional and fixated on Hamilton to the point that they become comically irrational. Here is how you reply to an irrational Hamilton hater: 105 wins and counting 104 poles and counting +200 podiums and counting Let them seethe in perpetuity
I remember one black athlete said a black man needed to archive double the achievement of a white guy before being given the same recognition. At that time I thought he was exaggerating. Now I agree with him.
@Gmima01 Hamilton is hated because he's black.Hamilton is the only black f1 driver I know and he is the best and that makes racist white folks so mad. We all know that if Hamilton was white he would be the 8 time world champion, you can deny it but you know it's true 👍
- Wins every single lower category he competes in, being tipped early on as one of the greatest rising stars ever seen - Greatest rookie season in history, missing out to champion Raikkonen by a single point and beating legendary defending champion team mate Alonso. - Winning the title the following year on the final turn, despite being robbed of a win in Spa by the fia, against a very strong home hero Massa. - Turning around one of the worst cars on the grid in 2009, to get McLaren winning again, and beating race winning team mate Kovalainen 2-0 across their time together. - Defeating a brilliant world champion team mate in Button 2-1 across 3 years together between 2010-2012, and being in a third final round showdown in only his 4th season, against a record 3 other legendary drivers in Vettel, Webber and Alonso. - Proves himself to be the best qualifier on the grid in a far from world beating Mercedes in 2013. - Defeats a hugely underated champion Rosberg 3-1 across their 4 years together, fighting for titles between 2014-2016, prevailing in the first two and unlucky to not bag the 16 title following reliability issues. - Reaches new heights between 2017-18, defeating a resurgent Vettel in a stronger Ferrari to win the fight for five. - Dominates the 2019-2020 seasons, with race winning team mate Bottas his closest challenger, who he beats 5-0 across their time together. - Was set to win the 2021 world title for a record 8th time despite the young and insanely talented Verstappen breaking racing rules multiple times, only for Lewis to be robbed at the final round from a certain title, by the rule breaking race director Michael Masi, yet still demonstrated grace and class immediately after the robbery. - Following a tough 2022 where he was testing radical set ups in a bid to return to the front, he claimed an oustanding 3rd in the standings with an often times 4th fastest car, before returning to winning ways in world class fashion in an ultra competitive 2024, so far ousting his young and likely future world champion team mate Russell 2-1. - set to move to Ferrari from 2025 to return them to glory alongside another likely future world champion Leclerc. He is statistically the greatest driver of all time, the most titles, wins, poles by a gargantuan margin, podiums, seasons with a win, both one of the youngest AND oldest race winners in history. He conducts himself with honour, grace and humility like a great champion would, and lastly, if you think Hamilton has had a cake walk to his success, youre out of your fucking mind. The sheer calibre he has had to face across his career, and has defeated! The quality of his team mates is unmatched by anyone except Alain Prost. The likes of Verstappen and Schumacher (who are all time greats), had way WAYYYY easier team mates to beat, and yet they still needed excessive team orders and preferential treatment, yet Hamilton has faced world champion after world champion onto the next gen of future world champions, without the need for favouritism, all the while playing the team game, and has prevailed against every single one of them , and HAS won multiple world titles without having the fastest car. These are the facts and if you chose to ignore them, you are wilfully ignorant due to bias and are therefore instantly disregarded as an unreliable source, so be silent fools.
It's so amazing to me that people are so eager to claim he hasn't had competitive teammates. He's had three drivers who either have been or went on to be champions, and he is now willingly going to a team with a driver who is homegrown from their academy and clearly someone they are not going to ask to move over for him on a level playing field. In contrast, Verstappen and Schumacher both had sets of teammates who were never going to fight them during their years at the top. Also, if you claim Lewis Hamilton dominated 2014 and 2015, then you have to concede that Ayrton Senna dominated 1988 even though he had a teammate fighting with him for the title. Additionally, explain how Hamilton supposedly dominated 2017 when he never led the championship outright until after Monza.
Hamiltons Team Mates - 3 world champions in Alonso, Button and Rosberg 4 races winners in Kovalainen, Bottas, Russell and Leclerc; the latter 2 almost certainly future world champions. Verstappen’s Team Mates - 4 race winners in Ricciardo, Perez, Gasly, Sainz 1 non race winner in Albon Hamilton never had preferential treatment yet prevailed over them all, Verstappen had preferential treament every time yet lost out to Ricciardo. Hamilton vs Alonso (1-0) Hamilton vs Kovalainen (2-0) Hamilton vs Button (2-1) Hamilton vs Rosberg (3-1) Hamilton vs Bottas (5-0) Hamilton vs Russell (2-1)* Verstappen vs Sainz (1-0) Verstappen vs Ricciardo (1-2) Verstappen vs Gasly (1-0) Verstappen vs Albon (1-0) Verstappen vs Perez (4-0)* How is this even a fucking argument that they try to use 😂😂😂 only Alain Prost can boast a higher calibre of team mate across his career than Hamilton.
The same reason Arthur Ashe, the Williams’, Tiger Woods, and certain quarterbacks are still hated. Some people thought they had reserved access to a sport based on resources and networks. But his talent was/is too magnificent. It’s a bitter pill for some.
Excellent! I would love for you to make a presentation about the manner Sir LH has dealt with all the inveterate hate, the acrimony, the criticisms, the racial abuse, and more that he has faced over the years. I cannot understand how he is able to withstand such onslaughts. He is like a child in malice (and I do not mean that as a criticism), he does not seem to hold malice or grudges. Simply amazing is how I would characterize the manner in which he deals with the above. Thanks for your presentation, brother.
A true gentleman and a sportsman of undeniable integrity. One of the true greats in any sport. God bless his humility and humanity. There is so much many can lean from to way Sir Lewis's conducts his life. He is so much more than a sporting hero which cannot be said about any current F1 drivers
At first I was real scared to click on this vid. Hate for Lewis Hamilton topics is usually handled with kumbaya emotionalism and kid gloves. It's good to see this was handled by presenting cold hard facts and mature logic! Those are 2 aspects that most racist anti-Hamilton fans can't deal with. Thanks for the upload. SUBSCRIBED!
The one who dethroned Schumacher in 2005-2006 season was humiliated by Lewis Hamilton in 2007 The one who dethroned for the second time Schumacher 2010-2012 nico Rosberg was humiliated by Lewis in 2013-2015 The one who challenged Mercedes 2017-2018 Vettel has been doomed by Lewis I can stop there.... It's too long to tell 😊
With all due respect I do not believe Sir Hamilton really gives two shits what people think about him! It doesn’t change the narrative that he will go down as the best…that’s right…THE BEST F1 driver in the history of the sport. 🐐 status has been and still is being achieved! So keep hating and he’ll keep winning just to piss you off!😂😂
Guys, this hate has come since very beginning I don’t know how long have you been watching F1 but during 2007 season there were some fans wearing black monkey costumes and white tshirts writting “LEWIS FAMILY”. They were laughing and other people were enjoying it too and the case just went mehh nothing serious Also when he joined mclaren as a rookie, was the time of peak Alonso beating Schumi 2 times and had massive fanbase and when he saw that Lewis was just faster than him was trying cheap tricks to slow him down or get on his nerves. Can you imagine it? A 2x champion that beat Schumacker at the peak of his powers could not stand tow to tow or wheel to wheel with a rookie and that hate he has for Lewis is just too visable for us to see. And also is the case of Lewis doing pre-tests with mclaren before joining the team but that is the same shit Alonso and Kimi Raikonen were doing before they joined and yet no one speaks about it and i think is just absurdity When he joined mercedes people were like, ooo he will never win again and when he started winning they were like, ooo why is he winning down to the car etc and some people do not understand that every single driver that has won the championship had the best car on the grid and they say only to Lewis that he won from the car alone. I am a fan of the sport and we just should praise greatness because we have it in frot of our eyes
He is disrespected because he is black-let’s keep it real. 2016 was sketchy on the part on Merc not Lewis. He kept having issues with his car and Nikki Lauda had to convince him the car troubles were not intentional but based on what is happening this year, I do not trust Merc at all and F1 does not deserve Lewis Hamilton. No matter what he accomplishes he will likely never get the respect he deserves.
Blk & unapologetic all day everyday, immensely successful, F1 GOAT, classy, bigger than F1, charitable, great natured and good hearted... Jealousy and hatred are a mf. Karma is a bih, too. They'll see
Racism. Jealousy. Hatred. Ignorance. 2016 season - I remember reading or watching a video stating that Mercedes had basically swapped garages they gave Rosberg Hamilton's mechanics and engineers.
His dad made no friends while starting out , Hamilton used to get embarrassed by how rude he was to others , while karting an incident when waiting for fuel to be allocated, his dad screaming at track staff that it’s because we are “black” . But thankfully Lewis managed to progress and become the greatest driver ever in my opinion
Because Lewis is unique, he was born with an innate phenomenal talent, that is unequalled. He also just happens to have a black heritage, now, that fact is very frightening to the racists out there, who believe that he cannot be better than them! He is also very vocal on world inequality issues, he calls out the FIA’s president, who is of the culture that has no regard for human rights. The hate is also born of jealousy and envy. Long may he continue to rise and prosper 👌💜
That is all jealousy and ENVY, it is so disgusting how people can show so much hate to someone that NOT NEED THEIR APPROVAL NOR FAKE FRIENDSHIP (starting from Mercedes)
Lewis only lost to Rosberg because Toto fixed it that Sir Lewis had 4DNF. Rosberg had to retire from the sport because he was physically broken and could not face another year completing with the real winner.
SIR LEWIS HAMILTON IS SOO BLESS FROM GOD NO ANY HUMAN BEING CAN CHANGE IT....... KING 🤴🤴🤴KEEP IT UP AND THE PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU WILL KEEP ON FOLLOW YOU WHICH TEAM YOU GO ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I don’t hate Lewis, just hate some of his fans who are the WORST- bringing down legends of the sport to prop up Lewis and of course claiming him as an 8 time champion.
Lows highs,we can ALL cry,as much hate is sent SLH I will always send quadruple the love,each hour,each day,each week,each month,each year,each decade,forever,you never can keep a good man down❤❤ but still we rise,thanks SLH 🐐the best 🙏🏾
Because his black... Even his own fellow Brits like Martin Brundle and Jeremy Clarkson hate him for apparently no good reason. Jeremy Clarkson even said Lewis is not a real Brit... His accent is fake
When I was a kid I remember being in a summer camp my grandma took us to. I remember kids that were older were picking on my cousin. My cousin came running to my GMA trying to explain the situation. My GMA laughed it off 😂 and told him " don't worry son, in life you have to learn the problem would be if you don't have any haters in your circle". I later understood what she meant there. Love you GMA.
I finally saw someone speak up for him. This sport is very white supremacist. I saw those fans use different standards to treat drivers. Hamilton was treated more because of racial discrimination. Not because he did the right thing or he was very capable. In fact, the so-called experimental setting is a second driver configuration. This is actually the biggest unfair treatment Hamilton has encountered in the 2022-2023 season. Although Russell is very weak. Russell should not even be in the upper-middle team. The biggest unfairness in the 2021 season was the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, where the FIA manipulated everything. There were actually extremely unfair penalties in the 2020 season, all against Hamilton. I can see how difficult it is for a black man in the white game. Although he is stronger than many people. Regarding Fernando Alonso, I didn't respect him until the last two years. In his prime, he bullied Hamilton, Piquet (2008 Singapore crash gate, 2007 McLaren spy gate), and Massa, Raikkonen, etc. at the time. Even in his not-so-good period, he kicked Vandoorne out. It wasn't until he was willing to be a wingman for a rookie driver, Lance Stroll, that maybe he really knew he was old. Just like Vettel before he left Ferrari, I didn't like Vettel, just like Verstappen now. Many people here have malice towards Hamilton, and the biggest malice is actually Russell, and then Verstappen. They speak without thinking, and many mistakes they make can be forgiven. Hamilton made very few mistakes, but it is difficult to forgive. This is sad. I have been waiting for Hamilton to retire, hoping that he can get his eighth world championship before he retires. For me, this sport is no longer that important. The FIA keeps changing the rules and ignores the rationality of the rules. Professional sports have lost the most important fairness. It has become a show. I still hate Verstappen. He drives dangerously, speaks recklessly, and doesn't think before he thinks, just like a manic patient. However, in recent years, Verstappen's fans and Russell's fans have been very crazy. They seem to have never watched a single race, but they will defend their idol, even if the idol has a big problem with his character. I have considered making content about FIA manipulating races. I'm going to look at the past. But because of the language problem, I don't plan to make videos in my native country.
Wow wow wow sbinnala44, this is one of the best speech videos I've ever seen. Every word hit the mark. So well said. And maybe because Lewis is black is why he's treated differently. Because it all started before he achieved success, when he was a child. People then can't say it was just jealousy.
This is actually quite an easy question to answer. The strong dislike is a psychological response to the fanatical insanity displayed by many of Lewis' most dedicated fans. It has an escalating effect on the opposing groups. You'll notice that some drivers produce neither a fervent love or hate. Prost is a good example of this. Nobody has particularly strong feelings about him, whereas any driver with a cult type fanbase (ie. Hamilton, Schumacher, Verstappen, etc) produces a psychological backlash as a direct result of their behavior. It's really quite fascinating to study.
You make some good points. However, Verstappen and Schumacher have never received the amount or intensity of abuse leveled at LH. To those who empathise with his lived experience, your answer sounds a lot like cope, though you may be sincere.
@davidnisbett6279 This is a perfect example. In your mind, Hamilton has received excessive abuse in his career. To the rest of us, he has received the same treatment as everyone else. His fans love him, and other driver's fans don't.
It's because he is black. He is not the first F1 driver to be involved in other pursuits away from the track. Not even the first to champion some agenda (political or otherwise). That leaves only one thing that sets Hamilton apart.
Why you asking that Im 59 and Black... its his hue like all British Black athletes. I could write you a list here of 40 years of the same thing? Just say it its racism!
I believe he is a gentleman through and through..not that he would but there is a room in my house he could stay any time he wants..he deserves his knight hood.
His social work, charity and advocating for human rights and justice are all very admirable. His foundation has been especially helpful to so many young disadvantaged people and his work on diversity in F1 has been outstanding... However, from the sporting side, he's always been a massive whinger and it's draining. Even before we had blanket radio coverage in the sport
What avvery very good report... All so very true and to the point.. All he has to do, is keep winning titles to the point they can't erase him from history
Lewis Hamilton, Floyd Mayweather, Roy Johns, John Jones.....this guys are honestly made from steel. What they have gone through, most people will never understand. The sad part about Lewis is that he can tell when a car has been mess with, and trust me by the time Lewis complains of something, its usually sabotage has reached a point they cant hide it. And don't think Lewis will ever win another F1 championship. Everyone hates him, Toto, Lando, Christian, Max, The Stewards, The FIA, his engineers, Michael Massi. Even with God on his side he wont make it. What he has done is enough.
Still he Rises! The truth is if Lewis wasn't so exceptional he would not have been given an opportunity to compete in F1. He is truly the greatest ever! Double standards? Unjustified criticism? You're so right! Nevertheless STILL HE RISES!
It's because he's British. A German team and an Austrian undermining a Briton, looking to replace him with a Dutchman. George Russell only for two years because you never trust a traitor.
I'm not sure if Hamilton really gets criticized more than other drivers. Here in the Netherlands he is disliked in the same way Max Verstappen is disliked in England. Maybe it's just social-media toxicity. Or maybe he is seen as too progressive by most F1 fans, although Vettel doesn't seem to have this problem. Vettel's popularity seems to have been inversely correlated with his competitiveness; in his best years he was disliked a lot, but now he is universally liked. I think people like Vettel more than Hamilton because he comes across as more genuine. There is no denying Hamilton is one of the best drivers ever in F1. Still, I think he could have done better. His rookie season was so impressive that his subsequent seasons were at least a bit underwhelming. His move to Mercedes was brilliant and in his Mercedes years he became the well-rounded driver he is today, a fast driver who can read the race, is excellent at managing the tires and fair in wheel-to-wheel battles. Still, I think it's an injustice that Sainz now has to move to Williams. While Sainz may not have Hamilton's talent, he is a very useful driver and he is almost a decade younger, so he is the better driver in the long run.
The hate is not unjustified. Some people just have the ability to see through his bullshit and recognize his passive aggressive behaviour, virtue signalling, hypocrisy, etc. And the behaviour of his annoying disrespectful fanboys only make the situation worse.
jealousy and envy will kill them but he has black blood in him and will survive the haters are coward little children always playing tantrums when they don"t get their way Go Lewis 💗💗💗💗💗💯💯💯💯💯❤❤❤
If race was only motivation, then we forgot we're earthlings. Do people hate oranges because they like apples ? He had shown time and again that he will not ram cars and endangered others to win like Max or Shummie.😮
