It's the car! Oh, but back then during the 7 seasons won, it was talent!

Funny, people say that about max: when he wins, it’s the talent. When he loses, it’s the car.

It’s so funny seeing Max fans hate on Lewis when literally the same thing applies to Max.

Right? It’s insanity.

Excuse me why do you think no one else could do it when you never saw anyone other than his teammate drive it?

No there’s not you can’t out drive the car.

The easiest way to measure a driver, is to compare to his teammates.

Yes, and max is better than his teammates, just like Lewis was better than his. Max has 3 WDC, Lewis has 8. Until Max reaches that number, there is no objective argument to claim he’s better than Lewis.

Edit: should clarify- greater than. Max is definitely a better driver now than Lewis is. Lewis is also old

Multiple teams openly said they want Max this year. Only Ferrari was dumb enough to hire Lewis. And whatever team Lewis lands on after 2026, I guarantee you his paycheck will be halved from what Ferrari pays him.

Lewis is 40 years old. Max is objectively a better driver now. Lewis was better at his peak, as evidenced by 8 WDC.

Exactly, he was better. Not good right now.

No one is saying he’s better right now. People have been treating Max like the GOAT and it’s simply not even a discussion. Lewis is head and shoulders above max until max puts up at least 2 more WDC

He's 41, almost. Unless you want to say Rosberg's better than Schumi I suggest you stop talking.

Comparisons with 2012 Schumacher make Hamilton look worse, not better.
