Pleased to see him win it in style. Could easily have cruised and stayed safe, but the racer showed up. When even MV is spinning off and can't make his tyres last it was a demonstration of patience, great tyre management and no small amount of skill. Lapping his team-mate made nonsense of the 'it's just the car' claim.

And lets be perfectly fair, apart from outright pace, the same could be said of Perez too.

Verstappen is nowhere near the same level as Lewis. His balls are bigger than his brain. Races are won at the finish line and not before and Verstappen has yet to realise that.

Lewis is the perfect F1 driver on all levels and it's a joy to witness the way he performs. There will never be another like him.

You ever seen Fangio and Jim Clark drive, just two examples...?

It’d be quite alarming if Hamilton wasn’t better than Verstappen, he’s had 10 odd years longer in F1.

Lewis Hamilton also came from very humble beginnings, in F1 terms. He really has no piers in the modern era IMHO. How he keeps his feet any where near the ground is a demonstration of who he is inside and the upbringing he must have had. Good look to the man, his talents are without equal in modern F1 and some how he deals with all the expectations and political cr#p without going completely off the rails. The team around him undoubtable has a huge impact on this, but in the end it's Lewis Hamilton that has to deliver and he does it..

Hope you make number eight sometime Lewis and that your views a of where society could improve are listens to. :thumbsup:

Title No 8 next year is all but guaranteed.

All I know is he is the best I've ever seen in the 40+ years I've been following F1.

I never saw Fangio or Clark but my Dad used to really rate Clark, although he might have been a bit biased as he was also a Scot! But since he was only 32 when he had his fatal crash he may well have taken more titles if it hadn't happened.

The biggest difference between then and now was that Clark raced successfully in all sorts of cars, not just F1.

But that doesn't make what Lewis has achieved any less impressive, and I also hope he does get number eight!

Loved Hamilton ever since he came on the F1 scene. He did things on the race track I'd not seen up to that point.
So glad he won the 7th in style. He's not perfect - but none of us are.
He's worked incredibly hard from a young age and deserves his successes.
