Lewis hamilton came from the slums, apparently.

I like Hamilton and watching him race go carts when he was young you could tell he had a talent for racing.

 

But, throughout his F1 career he has had the best car 95% of the time, which has undeniably helped his winning run. I wonder how Lewiss would fare driving the Force India car or any other of the lesser performing teams?.

How come his team mates haven't done as well if it's down to the car..?

Driving a modern era Formula One car isn't just about working the pedals and turning the steering wheel. 

 

Coping when things go wrong can can preserve a few valuable points which could make the difference at the end of the season. When things have come on top for Vettell this year and last, he has got frustrated and angry and just slipped further back. When things have come on top for Hamilton he gets moody but shrugs it off, focusses  and preserves his position or even increases it.

 

Verstappen is a fantastic driver but he doesn't have the experience and maturity of Hamilton. When those two are going head to head in future which I'm sure they will be, Hamilton will win out more often than not, certainly for the next couple of years.

Odd question I think. The answer is obvious don't you recon, Hamilton is the better driver. It still does not negate the fact that Lewis has the best car on the track 95% of the time, what his team mate does in a similar car is up to him.

Although there is no such things as identical set ups on two cars from the same team, those set up differences usually even out over the course of a two hour race.

 

If you swap the seat and pedal positions in Hamilton and Bottas' cars then swap drivers Hamilton would use 7-10% less fuel on average and experience 10-15% less tyre wear than Bottas. That difference is down to driving style and mechanical sympathy and both things, particularly tyre preservation, count loads in a Formula One race.

Ironic that you're all being offended by Lewis Hamilton saying something but simultaneously (and apparently without deliberate irony) calling someone else a snowflake...

What would Google say Mr kickboxer

Here's a link you can try it yourself, perhaps lookup irony and snowflake, snowflake.

Not odd at all....Sounds to me you were suggesting he won due to his car...
