This! Jenson saying Max is quickest driver in ever, was straight bs! Especially when you consider how in qualifying he was regularly getting his ass handed to him by Lewis. 3 seasons as Lewis’ teammate & he only had 1 pole! https://twitter.com/tomboxe/status/1291131424360341506
I don’t care what no one says, when he praises Lewis, he does so through gritted teeth. When he entered #F1, he was the new darling, the man that would put Britiain back on top, but instead he made bad career choices and playboyed most of his career 1/
McLaren agreeing to Mercedes supplying Brawn with engines for the 2009 season, saved his career & saw the rise of what is the juggernaut that is Mercedes. They, he included (if you want to win titles, you’ll do that at McLaren) questioned Lewis’ decision to move to Mercedes 2/
Some said he (Lewis) knew nothing about the sport, some said he was going just for the money (McLaren offered him more to stay than Mercedes). Now that decision is paying off, we’re hearing, “it’s only the car. His teammate is crap” 3/
One ex-designer said after Rosberg took his title and ran to the hills, “Mercedes will miss Nico because of his technical knowledge”... they’ve won 3 double & are on course to make it 4, with a guy ppl said was not focused, lacked work ethic & was just ✌🏿naturally talented” 4/
He helped turn round a team that had 1 win in 3 seasons & never finished higher than 4th, to 3 wins, multiple poles, podiums & to its highest finishing position of 2nd in only his 1st season. 14 yrs in the game & has never had a winless season, despite 5/
driving some less than competitive cars (2009), was the ONLY non-Red Bull driver to start from pole in 2011. And you have ppl out here trying to pour dirt on the man’ name and his accomplishments. Schumacher was always regarded as the G. O. A. T! Lewis has now 6/
entered the conversation and all of sudden, “there’s no such thing as a G. O. A. T, because you can’t compare drivers from different eras”. Y’all better sit down with that bs! Murray Walker a man who has commented on more F1 races than any man alive, 7/
says for him, Lewis Hamilton is THE G. O. A. T! And out comes keyboard warriors talking bs! Put some respect on that man’s name. He came into a sport that since its inception has been for elite white men, he took some shots, made mistakes along the way, but he still 8/
when it’s all said and done, when he gets in his car and pull is visor down, we all sat and watched THE master at work. If ever Sinatra’, “I did it my way” embodied anyone, it would be Lewis the fashion designer, eco-warrior, top 100 selling pop star Hamilyon 9/
Just be happy that you were all able to witness greatness as it happened.

BTW - McLaren haven’t won a race since left.
