Lewis Hamilton Watches Back His Epic GP2 Breakthrough Drive

[@MT-hs1ry]

the way he doesn’t understand other people braking much earlier is representative of his level

[@shadowguy128]

I remember in a interview from some time ago He said that in his karting days his father would look at where everyone was starting to brake for a corner and then moved 5-10 feet towards the corner from the braking point and told him “this is where you should start braking” and it worked ever since

You have to understand that when Hamilton started in F1, he was in Ron´s Mclaren. A team so tight that drivers had to always be shaved, immaculate trim and well dressed and no tattoos and always say the right thing, never doubt, never question, etc etc. So Hamilton had to be that guy. Soon he changed to Mercedes you could see him starting to open up. That mentality in Mclaren was what made Raikkonen change to Ferrari (also because how Mclaren blew an engine every two races).

Say what you like about "he only wins because he has the best car". Look what he does when the cars are equal. He's not my favourite driver but man I respect him, he's an absolute magician.

[@grxengine6188]

I just realized my face is sore from smiling throughout this entire video.

[@blackgirlsrock264]

This is the race salty haters need to see! He’s NOT in a Mercedes and oh look...he’s overtaking people and SMASHING it on the grid! Shocking...😱🤣 Did I mention he’s NOT in a Mercedes? Did I? No Mercedes folks! By the way, he won the championship too! 🎤drop!

Haters are gonna pretend they didn't see this comment

very sincere interview, one of the best I've seen from Lewis in a long time

[@pratham-1205]

THIS VIDEO CAN SLAM ALL THE HATERS AND CAN SHOW THEM THAT HE DESERVES EVERYTHING HE HAS , PURE TALENT !

[@robthornton6288]

You would think so wouldn't you, but sadly their jealousy and prejudice is so deeply ingrained that they'll keep on denying that he is one of the greatest F1 drivers ever and certainly the best the UK has ever produced.

@@robthornton6288 we can just fight , nothing more , I wish they respect everyone equally and the hatred goes soon !

[@blackgirlsrock264]

@@robthornton6288 Truth!💯 The salty haters hold onto to their silly hatred like a blanket. They would watch this video and say Lewis cheated or had a ‘special engine’ or the team ‘favored him’ over his teammate and that’s why he did so well. Lol! The usual excuses!

[@cd9759]

Was only like 8 in 2006 and never really watched gp2, watched every f1 race, this was the first gp2 race i watched in its entirity. The first time i heard of Lewis Hamilton

[@audioamateur]

I love that his dad is right there.

[@tjj4lab]

Truly amazing - watching this back how hard he fought where he came from to where Lewis is now. And he's still pushing! Remarkable and so inspiring. Come on title #8

[@markbaugh3365]

🇯🇲🤔 ONE OF THE BEST ONE LINERS EVER... "PERFECT TIMING" BRILLIANT!!!

[@mrrolandlawrence]

so in a spec series where the cars are the same, he comes back from 18th to 2nd in a few laps? well deserved stand out performance. just like how he does it in f1 these days ;)

[@blackgirlsrock264]

Great drive! But his salty haters would say he ‘had the best spec car’!🙄

[@legoldspy6851]

@@blackgirlsrock264 they are actually saying that because he raced with ART lol Even tho he's the one who requested to have lower downforce during the race

[@zaviali5]

Just towards the end seeing him in gp2 after the charge and then with him being a 7 times World Champion is really incredible and sort of got me really. What an amazing athlete and source of inspiration. Well done Lewis. I haven't been your fan but your determination and willingness to win demands utmost respect.

[@nunonunes097]

Props to Liberty Media for pushing for official quality content like this.

[@R-Tap]

Back then I watched all the GP2 races, now not so much. 2006 was a mega season, since then I'm a Ham fan.

[@jggraphx]

Wow!! I love watching all the old footage. All the professional F1 drivers right now that never won a world championship should be taking notes Right now!! Congratulations HAM!! What an epic performance last weekend And crushing history👏👏👏😎👍. Let’s go for 8..Forever 44

[@Kiluei]

Lewis was literally driving through a track filled with nepotism. Finding his way into F1 based purely on merit. What a guy.

[@RuthlessMarauder]

You don’t have to be first. It’s how you deal with adversity. You are and always will be a legend Lewis! You’re an inspirational human, never mind F1 champion. Much love!

[@TomVanDerPasch]

F1 can we please get a gp2/f2 archive on F1TV? I would love to be able to see the full race replay of this race and many others, seems that you still have the footage laying around, would be massively appreciated

there are a few cart races on youtube with Lewis and Nico

Anyone saying it's the car that's winning things now, needs to look back at things like this to see why he's in that car in the first place. F1 channels need to show more of things like this from all the drivers

[@richardneville9872]

Such an incredible driver, so glad this is in my lifetime

[@misterc5783]

[@Daveymallon]

I look at this guy and I just feel so proud that he has achieved everything that he has. He deserves every last bit of it!

“I don’t understand, everyone’s breaking early these days...” that’s some rare trashtalking in F1 sports.

[@ankss4972]

I wasn’t a fan of Lewis until 2019 but share this video (and one from 2000 karting he came first and commentators keep saying he’s gonna be something in future) to the people who say he is what he is because of his car. True champ.
