Ayeย you speak the truth. After his early spin, he drove an impeccable race. Perfect tyre management to turn the intermediates into slicks without spinning off or losing pace. The top three all had brilliant races. I did enjoy Vettel nicking third from his team mate on the final lap! The top three were superb today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Velocette Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Watch todays BTCC races at Brands Hatch and see heroic racing and a champion with skill and humility. Or the recent World Superbike championship to which the same complements apply. The F1 winner is a revolting example of all that can be wrong with a sport.

The Heron Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 I really enjoyed today's race it had everything you could want from racing it's a pity that racing point could not get a one two but that's motor racing.ย Congratulations to Lewis Hamilton no matter love him or hate him you cannot deny his ability he is one of the worlds greatest drivers ever.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scully Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 By resurfacing that track, and adding rain, the Turks may have just solved the problem of how to make F1 more enjoyable to watch! ๐ Cant take it away from Hamilton; without doubt the best out there.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was amazing to see the difference between Hamilton and Bottas. Essentially the same car, but whilst Bottas kept on going off for games in the woods every other lap, Hamilton just kept pounding around, hugging the racing line and working his tyres into a raceable condition and by the end looked imperious.ย Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raja Clavata Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 An utterly brilliant racing car driver. He makes it look easy and I suspect in many respects for him it is. I wouldnโt be surprised if he quits after one more championship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oowee Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Superb. Is he not already the goat? Same number of world titles but greatestย number of grand prix wins? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pistol p Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 (edited) Its quite an achievement to win that many titles.

That is why I put in my post here he is one of the greatest drivers ever but I don't think you can fairly compare the drivers from the different era's to each other everything was so much different say between the 1930s and 2020.ย Edited November 15, 2020 by The Heron Put in twice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon R Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 He is by far the best of his era. He seemed genuinely chuffed and nice to see the whole team celebrating with him.ย Don't like his opinions, but can we just set them aside for a while and appreciate his achievement.

figgy Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 Yes it was nice to see him hug the team and acknowledge their part in making it happen. I think his future in F1 will depend on what happens with Mercedes and next year's rules, how competitive mercedes will or won't be. If they look like dropping the advantage they have, I think he will retire as champ.ย ย If they look dominant for next season he may stay and go for an eighth title, I think he is driving better this year than ever in his career, much more level headed and mature.

Smokersmith Posted November 15, 2020 Report Share Posted November 15, 2020 He seems hungry enough to go for double figures. As long as the windโs blowing his way ... it looks feasible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fisheruk Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Itโs a sport with big money. When you mix up the conditions with new tarmac, rain it certainly comes alive. Heโs certainly the best F1 driver of thisย time as it stands. Toto Wolfe had it right when he carefully side stepped the question without wishing to take away from the previous achievements of earlier drivers, the sport evolves with technology, you canโt compare apples and pears, but heโs certainly up there with the best of all time.
