Amazing effort from 6th place. Class from Vettel to be the first to run over to congratulate him. Unbelievable driver. Hamilton's now the greatest driver of all time and lovely words of congratulations from the Schumacher family. Class again. [Post edited 15 Nov 2020 12:24]

That was a masterclass, certainly one of his best ever drives in the conditions. How it wasn't Driver of the Day worthy is a mystery. Congratulations Lewis, you brought a tear to my eye at the end. Only the best drivers get given the best cars and he is certainly the best. Hopefully same again next season, and the seasons after too. |  |

That must be one of his best drives.
Driver of the day? Possibly & nobody could have argued against it, but many drivers finished furrther up from their grid position than Lewis did (not that he could have finished higher!).
I liked how Lando Norris gained over 30 seconds to finish above Riccardo & Stroll & performed the fastest lap.
Wet conditions does make Formula One more exciting to watch! |  | | |

Fantastic driver and a superb achievement...
But I can’t stand him... comes across as such an arrogant tw.t!!! |  | | |

Amazing achievement.
Would be even more awesome if he were to win 3 more to get to 10 and make it almost impossible for someone to ever beat his record. Be one fo those legends that never fades ala Pele, Ronaldo, Maradonna etc. |  |

Dreary, predictable sport for the kind of people who like Jeremy Clarkson and tyre pressures. Like enjoying watching the work of plumbers or engineers. | | | |

Quite liked Hamilton but have found him grating recently. No argument he is one of the greatest F1 drivers ever though, good luck to him. |  | | |

I think Riccardo's comments summed it up pretty well.
"I saw him for the first few laps and I was like maybe we'll be ok today - but then he nearly lapped me!"
Great drive, Bottas is a good driver but he couldn't even keep his Mercedes pointing the right way. |  | | |

Wouldn't be in the best cars if he wasn't the best driver. The best teams don't take average as their lead drivers. He won a couple of titles while Ferrari had the better car and Vettel still couldn't match him.
Maybe he "hasn't had to fight for a seat" because there isn't a better option out there? Just a thought.
His record speaks for itself and but for bad luck he'd already have 9 titles by now. | | | |

Lol, if his family have got the sort of money of Venuzualan National Oil company (Maldonado) or Mexican Phone Companies (Perez) then maybe he did buy his way onto the circuit. But if his family did have that kind of money, they're idiots for not buying a racing team like Strolls dad.
Anyway I heard that Lewis Hamilton put on loads of weight and retired at the end of 2012 and was replaced by a look-a-like in 2013, that's why he moved to Mercedes! Allegedly. | | | |

Nothing would surprise me these days.
Great achievement - but he does come across like a mind-controlled robot. |  |

If this had been Jensen Button or Nigel Mansell who had just achieved this I think the praise would have been a lot more effusive. Seven World Drivers Championships is a big deal. | |

Amazing achievement however the sport itself has suffered as a spectacle.
The time has come to put drivers in different constructors cars for every race. That way every driver gets to drive every car once per season. Still gets a full week to set up, practice etc, but we end up with something that's dynamic, varied and interesting.
At the end of the season we know that the best driver and the best constructor have won. |  |

You wouldn't do that in any other professional sport, why do it to Formula 1? Learning a particular cars controls takes time and simulator work, as well as each car is tailored to the drivers body for safety reasons, so al that would happen is that the sport becomes less exciting and more dangerous IMO. Imagine Kevin De Bruyne having to play for a different team each week etc.
With budget caps coming into play during the next few seasons you will see cars having broadly similar specs but it will still be the Lewis Hamiltons, Max Verstappens and Charles LeClercs pushing for WDC titles despite the obvious talents of the Gaselys, Norris' etc. but cream will always rise to the top. | |

Same in MotoGP, they may all have two wheels and handlebars but each motorbike is uniquely different, even those from the same manufacturer as they are also set up to each riders style, skill sets etc.
It was inevitable that Rossi would go to Ducati at some point but he simply could not tame the beast, it was an immensely difficult bike to ride compared to the Yamaha's, Honda's etc (and they weren't exactly easy) and something Casey Stoner managed with aplomb. After two seasons Rossi went back to Yamaha.
The thing with Hamilton is that whilst he's a fantastic racer, I think people find him a bit annoying in the same way people don't like Ibrahimovic.
I don't think Mercedes, Sweden, and all of Ibrahimovic's clubs were too bothered what people think.

Incredible drive and brilliant achievement from one of the all time greats of any sport, let alone motor racing. Incredible how people still try and downplay his achievement and some of the tosh spouted above is further evidence. Never heard anyone that’s actually met the guy accuse him of being arrogant - the comparison with Zlatan is laughable. I guess there are some who don’t like to see him use his platform to raise issues that he cares passionately about but personally I’d like to see more global sporting icons use their platform in this way.
PS. I f’king hate Jeremy Clarkson and have never watched an episode of Top Gear in my life. |  | | |

I never compared him to Zlatan, i just gave another example of a sportsman that people don’t warm to. I never said he was arrogant either, where did you even get that from?
Personally, I’d rather people kept politics out of sport, there’s enough political s**t going on without it creeping into places that people go in order to get a respite. Each unto their own I guess.

I know you didn’t say that specifically Juzzie, it was said higher up the thread. It was kind of implied though if you make a comparison with one of the most arrogant sportsmen in the world! We’ll agree to disagree about mixing politics and sport. My view is sport does not exist in a vacuum, so it’s unrealistic to expect that the two be kept separate. | | | |
