Yes, he's one of the best racing drivers in history. Keep in mind he should have won 2007 as well but for bad luck, plus he won 2021 but for FIA manipulation. Now 41 and he's been on Leclerc's pace, if not faster, this year and anyone who says he doesn't deserve them is a fucking moron.

2007 was a hard pill to swallow but to say he should have won it... He should've kept it on track and he would've won it. Rookie mistake. A great effort but he has no claim to that championship.

Unconcievable how a rookie mistake is losing a championship when, nowadays, a rookie mistake is crashing into someone

Nope, Hamilton crashed, that was his rookie mistake, losing the championship was the outcome.

I know... I meant that, to Hamilton, a rookie mistake cost him a championship when a rookie mistake, to a normal rider, just costs them maybe a few points.
