As if Windsor here, at home, far away from the thousand experts and datastreams all working to add performance, as well as the firsthand experience from inside the car, as if Windsor has enough authortity on driving a Formula 1 car to literally lecture Bottas on what he's doing wrong? In addition to Windsor arrogantly thinking perhaps Bottas's "to whom it may concern, fuck you" message was actually directed at him and not for whom it was actually meant, the internet trolls who blast him as a little dog who laps up Lewis's scraps.

@Desmond Griffith I really have a hard time with this point of view, it presumes that mankind has somehow regressed in the space of 70 years and so no driver today could drive those cars, of course they could, at its most fundamental, the core skills are exactly the same (there is no traction control in karting etc where they complete their apprenticeship) what has changed of course is the likely outcome of mistakes. Death was an ever present companion which thank god, or more accurately, Jackie Stewart is no longer the case. I contend that if Formula 1 returned to the cars of the 1950's (low grip allied to higher horsepower than tires could manage) contemporary drivers would initially be slower than the legends of old as they would no doubt be all too aware of the lack of seat belts etc but quickly times would drop as the other thing that is constant in humankind, competitiveness kicks in...

As ive said many times, it goes all the way back to his earliest years in karts, Lewis grew up driving with hand-me-down worn out tires given to him and his dad from other (more wealthier and well equipped) teams. And since he grew up with less he was forced to learn how to extract more, how to drive manage and win with bad tires. That was his rearing as a young driver. Growing up extracting more from less. what a better way to learn tire management. His advantage from early on was learning to win despite his car's disadvantages. SO in poor conditions, he always was far better than other drivers. Its rather a very simple concept, But its not one that they planned , it just one that their financial setbacks made possible. Never knowing the advantage they actually had from having less.

xevious2501. It's interesting that Lewis is always compared to Michael Schumacher, which I suppose is understandable, but not or rarely with any of the 'greats' from 'the old days'? I know everyone has a different view, so I'm not ashamed to make my comparison. Talking of Lewis' ability to go very fast and not rip the arse out of his tyres - or his transmission or engine or brakes - reminds me of my all time greatest racing driver (not just F1) and that is Jim Clark. I seem to remember Clark could do the same thing; preserve his tyres, engine, brakes and transmission. Every current driver who watches in car film of Jim Clark - at say the 'old' Spa - always wonders at how smooth he was. I actually remember watching him at various races - never F1 - and thinking he is actually a bit boring. So, in many ways, I think Lewis compares very favourably with my hero; Jim Clark. I know comparisons with drivers from the Clark era or before are a bit invidious, but one of my reasons for calling Clark the greatest, was his ability to do it in ANYTHING he was asked or allowed to drive. F1, F2, Saloon cars, Sports Racing cars even vintage cars. He once drove the ERA 'Remus' in a race (I think at Goodwood) faster than anyone had driven an ERA, ever. Lewis is similar. ALthough he doesn't t drive in anything else now, Lewis has driven NASCARs, BTCCs and many other performance cars and not just 'done well'. he has absolutely smashed it. Remember his lap in the Reasonably Priced Car'?

Combine that with his risk assessment to let Bottas and Sainz pass him in tricky conditions due to his overwhelming confidence he’ll retake the lead one conditions improve was just incredible to watch and process. He is the greatest I’ve ever seen in 40yrs of watching. I’m so glad he broke Schumacher’s record, the guy was a bully and a cheat, albeit an extraordinarily talented one.

I always thought Hamilton was good at the beginning of his F1 career although other people weren't so sure. I then remember watching him win in the wet at Silverstone by 1 minute 10 seconds while many of the other great drivers were pirouetting round the circuit. It changed how a lot of people viewed him. One more thing, I had the privilege to work for Louis Klemantaski a great motor racing photographer who triggered my interest in the sport, I asked him what he thought was the most important thing about motor racing and without hesitation he said tyres. I think you are absolutely right Peter, tyre care. My brother and I enjoy your broadcasts very much thanks.

And now Sir Lewis has reached 100 WINS! HOW INCREDIBLE IS THAT? The Greatest of All Time- what a fantastic, legendary, historic, ICONIC champion! 💯 🏆

For me, one statistic I think really matters is ratio of pole positions to race victories. For the seven drivers generally considered to be the greatest of all time, it looks like this More poles than wins 🇧🇷 Ayrton Senna: 1 pole for every 0.63 wins 🇬🇧 Jim Clark: 1 pole for every 0.76 wins 🇦🇷 Juan Manuel Fangio: 1 pole for every 0.83 wins 🇬🇧 Lewis Hamilton: 1 pole for every 0.95 wins More wins than poles 🇩🇪 Michael Schumacher: 1 win for every 0.75 poles 🇫🇷 Alain Prost: 1 win for every 0.65 poles 🇬🇧 Jackie Stewart: 1 win for every 0.63 poles This demonstrates that, while Senna and Clark were disproportionately good at qualifying, and while Stewart, Prost and Schumacher were disproportionately good in the races, Hamilton and to a lesser extent Fangio are the two most all-round great drivers of all time. They are the most consistent. Clark and Schumacher are next best all-rounders.

Commentary like this about Lewis Hamilton's balance - perhaps gentleness - with the car put me in mind of what I've read about Jim Clark. Of course comparisons across generations are limited, but in the pantheon of F1 greats might we put LH and JC in a category together on that measure in contrast to (not higher or lower) than "pure feeling" drivers like Senna?

Another excellent video, thanks Peter :)

It doesn’t mean anything to me. He’s in a car which should win every race basically” ,he only has a couple of drivers to beat” job done. 20 . or not, I lost all respect for him. Right there .To say that , was pure crap. In my opinion , Sorry how about, Yeah this is great for are sport. This is what it’s about. For me Lewis Hamilton is pure skill and top humility brilliant driver and safe. Stunning description well said. Because of this video I can appreciate what these cars do and how the driver controls more now...

People forget how Bottas got his seat at Mercedes. He was number 1 at Williams and beat Maldonado and Massa and was a clear talent almost getting pole at Bahrain in that Williams. Won formula Renault 2x f3 and gp3. But he is just up against a master racer in Lewis.

Fortunate timing, right teams, best cars ! There's no doubt lewis is a world class driver but I just don't rate him alongside the likes of Schumacher , Senna ,Jim Clarke etc. Today's tracks are so safe , run offs etc. The cars are almost bullet proof. And let's be honest how many races has lewis won with ease because his car was ridiculously better than the rest of the field.

Thanks as always Peter

Peter, can you do a video with slowmo footage showing these driver movements? What you explain is fascinating, but would be amazing to see a visual comparison.

Peter love your commentary and insight.

The most honest and objective description/explanation of what sets apart drivers (even in the same team). I am also glad you underscored the irrelevance of Lewis personal life from his racing as they’re not married, so to speak 🙏🏾

Awesome commentary sir 👏

Thank you for this video.

Nicely done PW👍🏼

Good analysis, PW. What I found interesting was the huge difference in pace of the cars when the performance went off. LeClerc once again stayed out of trouble and got another strong 4th place. He reminds me of Jean Alesi more than any other driver from the past. Carlos Sainz was fantastic in the early stints and Pierre Gasly is my driver of the moment. He will become a consistent race winner one day if given the chance. Sergio Perez was fun to watch again as was Danny Ric, and how cool was it for Kimi Räikkönen to be running in 6th position after lap 1?? George Russell is showing out as well, but I saw nothing spectacular out of the rest.

I think the stat that proves Lewis's worth is that he won over one of every three races that he started, that is consistency.

Perfectly sums up the race without waffle. Great reviews. What's the name of the music you've used on this?..

Jeez this guy is the goat of explaining.... Keeping the car flat is probably how is the greatest wet weather driver of all time. People often think button's best race was in the wet in Canada.

Hey Peter, one of my sons asked me that same question about Louis a couple years ago. “Dad why is Louis so good with that car.” This is how I explained it. Louis is an excellent communicator. He can talk to anyone anywhere, something not all drivers or athletes for that matter can do. Great communication starts with the ability to listen with awareness of what going on around you. So when people see his life style with different women and associating with people not from the industry he is learning how to adjust everything about himself to fit the circumstances. That being said, driving is much like being in a relationship. Racing is like being in a relationship with a crazy person. If you give the wrong input things can go bad quickly. When you muscle the car via the controls your luck wears thin you and your tires pay the price. Grip the wheel too tight and it’s like chocking the life out of your relationship. However, when your input is simply a pre planned suggestion and not a last second demand you are more apt to get what you need to be successful. I guarantee you that Louis holds the wheel loosely and gives pre planned suggestions rather than demands before cornering to keep the car flat. You might ask, do I race? No but I’ve have had a crazy Ex or two 😂 I have used that analogy to teach many Police Officers to enforcement ride.

Great description of Lewis Hamilton's talent IMO. Thank you PW. It has been mentioned before how Lewis evolves as the track evolves. He slowly takes in as much information about the track as he can and uses that info, when it counts, to put in pole laps and win races. As in any profession, there are going to be people who are exceptional at what they do. Not unlike MotoGP and Marc Marquez, in Formula 1 it happens to be Lewis Hamilton. Unfortunately there are always going to be sour grapes haters in this world as well. I don't know if Lewis Hamilton is the GOAT but he is on the list for sure and the greatest of our time. He is definitely a natural who has put in and continues to put in the work that it takes to be at the level he is at. He is also is part of a great team and is part of that team for a reason. My 2 cents. Thanks and Cheers

Wonderful stuff

That graphic at the end with Lewis before showing the other legends is mega. He deserves his place among them.

Great positive video bro 🤙🏽

Really hope we come back to this glorious circuit

Lewis used to be awful at looking after his tyres. So fair play to him for getting ontop of this, it has alot to do with the cars and balance aswell, but you cannot take anything away from Lewis for getting so much better at this. Six months on from this video and he's just won his 100th GP, just as Max completes his 100th GP.

Great description of Lewis driving He got soul like James Brown dancing

Your breakdown of the different styles was brilliant. I would like to see a similar comparison between Pierre Gasly and Sergio Perez.

I think we forget that they are all driving for 2hrs at speeds of 200mph and having to stay focused at all times otherwise your career could be over no matter how safe the cars are, then your also racing each other. 92 wins and counting he is F1 and F1 should push for him to be knighted. Imagine off of sheer merit having a knighted F1 driver still racing and winning that would have to be the ultimate PR for F1.

Sir Lewis Hamilton.....I like it.👍🏾👍🏾

I don't buy the, you have to be born with it argument. Circumstances of his childhood in karting would have contributed. Do you have to have the potential? Sure, but credit Lewis for developing and maximizing it. Many seemingly effortless "talents" are really skills with thousands of hours(often hidden) behind them.

Lewis.. congratulations magical 7 Years, your ability is amazing...we appreciate your talent.

Well said Mr nl

He’s always been a very smooth driver, despite having a love for oversteery cars...as Jenson Button said of their time together, Lewis uses the pedals to steer the car...he’s also very consistent...

Not yet the GOAT, still had to win the 7th title.. respect to schumacher also senna, but i will wait until the 7th title at the end of this season, then i will call Lewis Hamilton as The F1 GOAT

Frankly I reckon that when Lewis wins the 7th title that puts him out there by himself. I have never counted Schumacher's '94 win as a true win as he had that brain fade to which he was susceptible and took Damon Hill out. Schumacher should have been disqualified and penalised because of that, but Williams for whatever reason didn't want to protest. Then when he did it again by driving into Villeneuve (though Villeneuve survived), what happened? They cancelled all his points scored and he finished last! Also apparently, Schumacher's car had a problem and wasn't expected to finish the race, so absolutely parallel situation to '94, so 6 WDC wins only (and 2 WDC wins to Hill)! So right now that puts Hamilton as the equivalent WDC GOAT, and with 7 wins he'll be out by himself!

The astonishing thing about Jim was that his tyre wear was the same on all four corners of the car and that he used substantially less rubber than anyone else. In other words, he seemed to use all four tyres equally. A quote from your own website Peter by Alec Maskell, Dunlop tyre engineer, about Jim Clark. Sounds like Lewis and Jim both had this quality?

Yep he’s one of the best and really lucky that his team managed to stay dominant for such a long time.

Lewis is an astonishing driver and his natural ability is mind blowing. I still think he is under rated and under appreciated by many but for me is is up there with the very best and his natural ability to get the best out of a car is like that of Jim Clark and that is massive praise indeed.

George Russell is hugely underrated by the public. I really hope he gets a good car underneath him in the near future

I just looked up Lewis's racing record in F1. What stands out is the amount of points finishes he has and the relative lack of retirements. Amazing reliability in the turbo hybrid era.

Patience. This is a trait Lewis has within his technique and race craft. Probably the hardest thing to be in a race, regardless of the discipline, hence why only the very best are able to show it consistently.

Very comprehensive commentary. Nice job. Lewis is arguably the greatest of all time..at least, so far..

I'd never have thought we'd call him gentle on his tyres but seemed to go to another level round portimao.

How Lewis drives is relative to what he drives and relative to who he drives against, he drives the best car and is atleast better than his team mate which in turn makes him nearly unstoppable. Everyone who has that technical advantage has a much greater chance of success . Pretty sure if Daniel Ricardo for example was by chance in Lewis seat for these dominant years he would be the one looking at a bucket full of championships .

Well said pw thank u

There you go 63 haters it take more than a fast car to really win 92 race. It's not luck it's his natural ability to control the car thanks Peter to give us top top knowledge.
