[samwilson]

Quick reminder he got 9 podiums in his first 9 races in F1, that is simply stupendously good

[temy]

Love him or hate him, you can't deny that the man has talent.

[roastingminer]

True fans appreciate and acknowledge the talent of lewis. great video right here!

[goduxunike]

People who hate on Lewis seem to forget about how he got into F1. If anything, he is one of the few drivers that got to the top without a rich/well connected dad.

[NavF]

People will question Lewis' credentials then forget his drives in GP2 in 2006 and his rookie season in 2007... double standards

[justrog]

His dad's technique by getting autographs and asking for contact details was very clever. Full respect

[sid]

Even as a non-Lewis fan, i still appreciate his skill and off track efforts a lot. The dude is bloody quick, and has done so much for the sport.

[Jewsenburg]

I have an enormous respect for Lewis. He is a deserving world champ, and nobody can take that away from him. If he didn't have gearbox troubles in Brazil 2007, he would've won the championship maybe, in his debut season. He is one of the goats of this sport.

[MetalFolf]

The fact that his dad was working multiple jobs so Lewis could continue is the most heart warming thing ever

[PassiveSmoking]

"He only wins cos he's got the best car"

No. He got the best car because he wins a lot.

[blazedxjan]

No doubt Lewis is one of the best to ever do it. True fans appreciate the skill and hunger he's shows year AFTER year.

[davidspoto]

Ironic, isn't it. That Hamilton had to start slightly down the order at the Turkish gp, and had to make up ground to win the championship in gp2, and then did the exact same thing years later to tie with Michael Schumacher

[thHrPro]

He's the reason I started watching F1. Lewis Hamilton and his story are truly inspiring.

[cody]

People aren't gonna truly start respecting Lewis until he's retired/not winning anymore which is really sad. We're truly witnessing a generational racing talent right now and most people don't fully appreciate greatness until it's no longer there anymore...

[GoganLiesbrecht]

I can't believe we're 14 years, 100 wins, and 7 Championships in and we're still debating if he's talented

[Shimeih]

Lewis’ dad and his sacrifice story is heartwarming and makes me emotional 😭.

[WaveyBavey]

I'll he the first to admit that it can be pretty easy to hold some hostility towards Lewis. But seeing where he came from and the sacrifices that he and his family have had to make, it shows that he deserves his success. As much as people might like to deny it, Lewis is one of the greatest of all time, if not the greatest, and that's something you can't take away from him. Great video Josh

[jbucktheman]

I love how Lewis Hamilton showed how much talent he had and yet he was nowhere near a pay driver. He did not have the money like other drivers did. He came up through the ranks based on talent and dominance.

[mildlystronk]

This video was very much needed. Newer formula 1 fans only know him for "shoving Max into the wall at Silverstone on purpose". This man is one of the greatest ever.

[alikatyk]

Along with his impressive junior stats (and current GOAT level numbers) the fact that Lewis is officially one of the "old guard" now & is still giving F1's youngest guns (including the much hyped & heralded heir apparent... in equally competitive machinery, no less) a serious run for their money, says it all IMO. No further discussion on ablilities or talent needed.
