I respect his abilities as a driver with 7 world championships, but NOT as a person.
I wonder how it must feel being one of this chump's mechanics.
How someone can help a guy succeed in such an unforgiving sport when he badmouths you in the media over something you can't control is beyond me.
Half those championships were practically handed to him on a silver platter.
He has had the best car by a HUGE margin for pretty much every year except 2008 and maybe 2018. Not only that, but he was on the most organized and prepared team in decades. The only real competition Mercedes had from 2014 to 2021 was Ferrari, who in classic Italian fashion, bungled several opportunities to win the title (and I say this as il tifoso).
The only serious threat Lewis had in that whole period of dominance was Sebastian Vettel, who was dragging the anchor of Ferrari behind him, and the one year that Nico Rosberg barely managed to beat him in the same car. Not to mention the fact that the FIA glossed over a number of times that Lewis violated track limits, ran his opponents off the track, and exhibited poor sportsmanship. Just listen to him on the radio whenever he isn't a mile in front of everyone. He's a whiny little bitch.
People seriously compare him with the likes of Michael Schumacher. A man who raced against champions at their peak such as Ayrton Senna, Alain Prost, Nigel Mansell, Mika Hakkinen, Damon Hill, Fernando Alonso, Kimi Raikkonen, etc.
Lewis has had the easiest championships in all of F1 history, and he acts like he actually accomplished something. Pastor Maldonado could be a world champion in that car. Now that Verstappen is champion, Lewis is having a mental breakdown that he isn't the star boy anymore.
Regardless, you think he'd show more gratitude for being able to succeed in such a hard sport and make a living most people would kill for.
But he instead causes drama and divides people over ridiculous nothingburgers.
It really makes you wonder why he spreads hatred rather than put his money where his mouth is and either hire minority staff/drivers for his Extreme E team or start some kind of a scholarship or separate open wheel team for these individuals; actually do something positive for people he claims to support.
