That awkward moment when you don't even need comical hyperboles for satire anymore. You just say exactly what's going on.

[KenNakajima]

I can hear the HAMboys harder than Alonso's V10

[troygrindley]

The average celebrity in it spitting image 😂😂😂

[tbz]

😂🤣😂 AND they put him in a Ferrari, worst insult of all.

[robslade]

The best bit is they didn't need to write a script for this. Just Lewis Hamilton being his normal self.

"I will speak out - generally from my tax-sheltered yacht in Monaco" - brilliant!!!!

[LogansRun]

They've nailed Hamilton's blatant hypocrisy...

...Even though, he doesn't see it himself, which makes it funnier...

[paulthomson]

This puppet has more of a personality than the real puppet

[davidthomas]

This could be any rich celebrity who's been converted to the woke religion. They are excellent at lecturing the poor about inequality while being a part of that inequality

[Patmofar]

Hamilton is obviously taking notes and learning from Saint Bono and his U2 mates.

[Byley-eh]

Hamilton is the world champion of all hypocrites!

[fredbloggs]

Carefully avoiding any mention of Hamilton's support for want to actually say something controversial.

[davidlynch]

Brilliant. This is the Splitting image I remember from the 80s. Keep it up!

*Hamilton's entire F1 Career since 2007 in 1 minute*

[thelimey]

A good solid and well deserved shafting of Lewis Hamilton. ✔

[lillekenatnek]

Seeing this makes me even more proud Max became champion

[luzindro]

I'm an F1 fan, and I got a laugh out of this. It's funny because it's true.

[JoseWhon]

Absolutely LOVED this new series of Spitting Image - more!

[simontan]

This puppet seems to be brighter than the real one that's for sure.

Imagine if Lando Norris and Daniel Ricciardo got the Spitting Image treatment, I think they'll love it~
