Still one of the most complete rookie ever, so there's not much for him to improve even if this costs him greatly. Raikkonen and Verstappen by contrast were one of the most underdeveloped rookies even if talented so they took few years to peak from rookie (2003 for Raikkonen, 2018 for Verstappen).

If Maclaren had kept Hamilton on his original 2 stop strategy he would have made up the places he needed to become world champion. A pitstop in Interlagos costs you approx` 28 seconds meaning that a 3 stop strategy is going to be disastrous unless you luck-in to a safety car (which, sadly for LH, didn`t occur).

Crazy start by Ferrari. No ego, both drivers focusing on the block.

And instead of letting it get sorted out by the team, Alonso took it into his own hands, not only making Lewis miss his qualifying lap, but getting sent to the back of the grid himself. Yeah I think that would piss off any team boss. And then to top all that off, Alonso attempts to blackmail Ron Dennis over spy gate, those are the real reasons Alonso's relationship went downhill.

Hamilton was faster than Alonso by 0.08% on average. He got ass saved from embarassment if Hamilton won the championship

Yeah with a Rookie as a team mate and a car as good as the Fezza he should have done. Guess he wasn't as good as you thought.

You’re right, he should have but he wasn’t good enough. Kimi was better.

David Croft was actually a better, more calmer commentator back then. Before his cringey "lights out and away we go" catchphrase (stolen from Ben Edwards).

Dude, dont talk about terrible luck when it comes to Lewis...for most of his career he has had the luck on his side, unlike with Kimi for example who could have become 3x WDC if Mclaren-Mercedes hadnt constantly failed him. Even in 2007 Kimi had 2 DNFs that happened because Ferrari's reliability issues, while Mclaren (ironically) finally enjoyed pretty much bullet proof reliabilty. Even this Gearbox issue didnt leave Hamilton without points. There wasnt a single Mclaren DNF that year that would have been because poor reliability. Also in 2008 Massa would have won the championship had he had better luck on his side. The only times I think luck wasnt on Lewis side was in 2016 and perhaps in 2021. I could give those championships to Lewis, so 8 championships max. And even when you have 7 championships, you cant talk about the guy having bad luck. Hamilton has been lucky so many times with others having trouble, lucky most of the time when Safety Car had come to the track to get free pitstops and perhaps the most lucky of all how/when his tyre failed in 2020 British GP and still managed to win that race because it happened in the last lap

Exactly!!! It would have been nice to see Ferrari as a strong team when Kimi was with Alonso Can you imagine the battles??? Too bad that time was bad for Ferrari

Back when a small mistake makes you lose big time to climb back positions. Today's racing is complete opposite, makes it way too easy like a game, drs must be removed respectively.

Tell me about it. These days a driver only has to sprain his index finger and they bring out the safety car, but only if it’s good for Mercedes and redbull. It’s funny how it’s always the lapped cats or back markers magically parking their cars in an unsafe spot on the track.

@@giuseppepennisi8699 In the V10 era there was some strange decisions taken but not as much as later happened, and I mean later as in 2010+ (ever since the 2nd V8 regs which started in 2009+) many things changed. It's like media, society, fame, money and etc... all impacted the concept of F1. To put it into a further example, if we look at the list of champions of the past, we see many many different names varying between year after year unlike since 2010. Vettel then Hamilton and now most probably Verstappen (for many years) and to me that's not racing, that's a complete business and contracts deals to whom they chose to be triumph for a dedicated time. Yes Schumacher did win consecutive years too but the follow ups were not repeated identically as well therefore Michael wasn't inside the circle in my opinion, he just opened the path and everyone enjoyed it because many like Ferrari and the glorious V10 sounds of what a true Formula car must be. By the way there's way more SC today than there was during the V10 and early V8 eras.

Spygate had already happened mid season. The team was kicked out of the constructors championships and given a huge fine. For many it did not go far enough as the were calls for a 2 year ban.

Dude they had already been punished by getting disqualified from WCC and also given 100 million dollar fine I think it was. Mclaren drivers were free to race for the championship however as it was not their fault. Ofc there was lot of speculation that this was " a set up" to make it look championship was still open to the end, but all it would have taken for either Mclaren driver to win the championship was for Kimi to take 2 points less. And it would have looked way worse then if they had disqualified either Hamilton or Alonso from championship afterwards. So no, Mclaren had already been punished and their drivers just threw it away in the end. Alonso first by crashing out in wet conditions in Fuji and Hamilton/the team threwing it away in China by pitting too late with worn out tyres

if you look closer at the start, Massa did a dirty move to back Hamilton into Alonso
