Lewis Hamilton: Future Astronaut?! A conversation about space with an icon!

[@RC-1290]

Hamilton constantly sabotaging starting the questions. I love it, I feel like he just wants to geek out about space with a fellow space fan.

[@JGS123WRPTP]

Everyday: Yes! We’ve got the interview. Hamilton: Yes! I get to talk about space!

He seems very eager to talk space, I like that!

Hamilton and frankly all of F1 way too pretentious and faux for space travel.

[@Lucalikesstuff]

This is yet another great example of a trend I've been noticing recently in media: people want GENUINE, honest content. We've all had enough of fake, curated narratives. We just want to see what someone is actually like and hopefully be able to relate to them. Great work, Tim 😁

[@TheStealthbob]

Yes less talking heads and more passionate dialed in real people. The age of that cadence of the "reporter" will be a distant past very soon.

[@paulmichaelfreedman8334]

Not a Ham fan, but this is cool to see. It's just that he should have explained that gravity is the effect of mass bending spacetime around it, like a swimmer in the pool bends the water around him as he swims forward. And go on from there explaining why warping spacetime is theoretically possible, but in practise near impossible, and technologically, not feasible for quite some time yet, if ever.

[@jonathanbeattie3410]

Rare you see Lewis in such a relaxed interview and he gets to be himself. Awesome work Tim, knocked it out the park again!

[@TheHeatProducer]

Absolutely. I think he is a very passionnate person and he is bored by stupid F1 interview so he can look cold and self sufficient from the outside. He knows what he is talking about and that’s cool.

[@snifferinchief7183]

Very true!

[@Jadoo800]

Bro you watch any video fo Lewis that is posted from someone else adn all he does is swear non stop and say the n word. He even leaked his girlfriends vagina videos nicole scherzinger when they were together, he is one big fraud of an act

Lewis is just a geek at heart, the more I see of him outside of F1 the more I like him. What a down to earth guy.

[@julianemery718]

Hopefully he'll end up being not so down-to-earth if all goes well.

Holy Sh1t! Lewis Hamilton is a RC nerd, just like me with a billion more bux in his pockets... this is easily the most "human" I've seen him and it was wonderful to witness. He's under a microscope 24/7 when he's racing. He's genuinely geeking out on space flight. Fantastic.

About halfway through watching and I'm loving this. I truly didn't know Lewis was a space nerd, but it's cool watching you two talk, him sharing his Ridley Scott anecdote and his enthusiasm, but also asking questions and wanting to learn more.

Lewis Hamilton - one of my all-time heroes and that list is very short. He comes across as a true gentleman, tremendously gifted, I have been following his career in formula 1 since he started. I have no idea the battles he must have fought and the issues he had in his racing career but he has carried himself admirably. To find out he is a fellow space nut is the icing on the cake, can't wait to see what he gets up to regarding space-flight, very exciting prospect!

[@dodaexploda]

As an F1 nerd and space nerd, this is a nice cross over. Also good job in getting a relaxed Lewis Hamilton. You don't normally see him this open and nerding out.

Would have loved to see and here what they said during those clips at the end with both looking at the engine or in the cockpit! Tim going of script and just talking about what both find amazing are always the best moments on this channel❤ Perfect cross over btw!

[@electronash]

Well, this is the crossover we didn't expect. lol Lewis absolutely has the determination and stamina to be an Astronaut.

[@Andreas-gh6is]

And none of the qualifications. Seriously. He's 39 and he's got no university degree and no pilot's license. He'd be useless. And maybe there will be a time when you can be an astronaut without being an expert with decades of experience in something relevant to the mission, but that won't be very soon. And it would take him many years to both get a pilot's license and the actual experience with procedures that is so valuable to astronauts.

[@kitsandham7001]

Same! I nearly broke my phone screen hitting play so hard.

[@Hot-Dog-Racing]

People forget that great F1 drivers are essentially mechanical engineers themselves. Setting up the incredibly complex car is so up to them that they need to know how to communicate extremely complicated phenomena to a team of engineers, so they need to “speak” engineer. It totally makes sense that someone like Lewis is enamored with space flight! This is by far my favorite video Tim has ever done in the 7 or so years I’ve been watching him.

[@Maxdubi]

Lmao no.

[@kitsandham7001]

Me too.

[@olliemunchies]

No, he's able to tell the engineers in the team how the car is feeling. Which helps translate to the engineers who are able to adjust the car to that feeling. The drivers are not engineers at all. They are race drivers. Some drivers, like Daniel Ricarrdo have no clue how a car works at all 😂

[@kitsandham7001]

@@olliemunchiesthey’re not actual engineers obvs, but the greats always have an engineering mindset and understand way deep into the car.

[@Hot-Dog-Racing]

@@kitsandham7001 Exactly. I’m not saying he literally holds an engineering degree. I’m saying elite drivers like him study complex engineering data so much that they learn to think like an engineer and understand physics much more than common folk. There are countless stories of people like Hamilton, Alonso and Vettel working late hours after the race in engineering meetings going over extremely complicated data. That’s a lot more than just telling how the car feels. They literally study the data sheets of things like brake and throttle traces, shift points and clutch bite points, and so much more.
