Lewis Hamilton

[AriettyHomily]

Why isn't he more celebrated. An incredible achievement, 91 wins, equalling MS and it's so low key on the news?

Is it low key ive seen it twice on the news after the Grand prix. It is just car racing he hasn't changed the world or anything it has been a sport headline.

Don’t know but I hear you. F1 as a general is so under-rated, under valued and under-appreciated in the world of sport when it comes to reporting the results in any news.

I don’t think it’s been low key.
Personally i think it would be weird to go over the top celebrating equalling Michael Schumacher when Lewis is so obviously going to beat him this season.

Because he's irritating, because he's a tax avoider by all accounts, because he's all out for himself and not his team, because he's treated his father like shit.

Because the popularity of F1 has taken a nosedive over recent years?

Tax avoidance and dissing his hometown.

Because motor racing is really fucking boring and Lewis Hamilton is one smug prick

Next question

I don't know much about him but it's a shame he can't come out in this day and age

He's annoyingly smug.

Valentino Rossi>Lewis Hamilton.

He's a selfish twat. No regard for the sport that got him into F1. He was sponsored at 13 by Ron Dennis, how amazing if he did that for some kids in Karting, not likely. He is totally disliked in the sport he came from cause everyone know he is a selfish wanker .

I think that Lh is woefully underrated, but I also think it would be crass to celebrate him passing Michael Schumacher's record when MS is so ill.

What happened with Lh and his father- I thought they were close?

@toffeekiwi when you say he's not out for his team do you mean Mercedes and the people who work for it?

He is fucking celebrated! He's everywhere! Little jumped up idiot.

It's not that low key on the news. It's on the front page of the BBC news website.

Btw, loads of other F1 drivers have supported young kart drivers , Roseberg, Daniel Riccardo even Leclerc are getting involved....but not Lewis ...not one fucking penny .

He's a superb driver. But MS he ain't

It's been all over the news all day!

Racing has also changed a lot and although he's achievement is incredible, it really isn't as incredible as Schaumachers

.

I thought his tribute to Michael Schumacher’s legacy was elegant and respectful. It is astonishing how much he’s achieved.

The Stevenage thing was a ridiculous storm in a teacup which he instantly corrected himself on, but TBF if you live the life he lives nowadays 99% of places probably look like slums

I grant you the jet tax thing was iffy, though sufficiently opaque that it wasn’t necessarily an informed personal choice. What’s he meant to have done to his father,’v

His is an incredible achievement. If you look at most F1 drivers they come from moneyed backgrounds so have the financial backing to get into the sport.
He has got where he has down to sheer talent and sacrifices by his parents in his early career.
I heard his name first mentioned in 2003 by someone who worked for McClaren, along the lines of how outstanding he was.
I 've watched F1 for years now and his talent and ability is phenomenal and is not recognised as such.

At least it has been on the sports news today, most races don’t get a mention since the free to view channels lost the contract to show the races live.
His achievements are legend. And his behind the scenes charity work is changing lives. But those people who think he’s just a smug rich git who drives a car are unlikely to know or care about that.

This

Because F1 just doesn't look like a sport to me

It's so fucking dull and stupidly dangerous - can't believe it wasn't stopped after Senna died

Because modern F1 is as dull as ditchwater. It's really lost something over the years. I go back to the days of Clark, Surtees and Hill (Graham not Damian). The rot set in when the Britsih GP left Brands Hatch.

He keeps winning and it’s getting boring now. It’s not just the driver it’s the engine and technology that let’s him win.
LH is a smug twat sometimes and it doesn’t bode well within sport. Dissing St. Evenage wasn’t his best move.
