That's just dumb af, tyre warmers are limited now to 60°C, can't be warmer, and if teams chose not to warm them up to that, take them put earlier or something, that's only on them, but why would they do that, to hinder their performance? That's so, sooo incredibly dumb. As for tyre change, he didn't have any mediums left, again very simple. As for monaco, not to know you have to push on your exit lap is just another level of spastic. Face it, he's just not that good against real competition.

I have my tin foil hat on 100% ride or die with lewis. The Goat.

I don’t think Merc is sabotaging Lewis, but I don’t think Lewis is wrong either. For the number of years he’s been at Mercedes and amount of championships he’s won there, he instinctively knows what it feels like for the team to be synchronized and working towards the goal of winning. And right now, he must feel like something is off on his side of the garage but he can’t put his finger on what.

@blackjaguar9861 I agree with you. What I find crazy is Cameron is saying he is not saying Lewis is lying about the temp...but then proceeds in trying to run through all the data to and then make out Lewis has lost a tenth cause of age and that he had an oversteer moment to make out he is being thorough then use that as the reason Russell beat Lewis time while casting shadow on Lewis abilities as well as the fact of the tyre temp being too obvious. All of those drivers drive by the feeling in the seat of their pants and know when the slightest issue is happening...unless its a random failure.... All top drivers!!! compared to us mere mortals. Then to nail the coffin Cameron cast dispersion on Lewis even mentioning the tyre temp and it being too obvious a thing as if Lewis would not know the effect of having colder tyre in a situation where optimal tyre temp is needed without seeing temps on his steering wheel after his many years behind the wheel of a racing car. Its like saying Gordon Ramsey would not know he is about to pour eggs into a pan which is too hot or too cold to make an omelette without seeing the temperature gauge on the cooker...it nonsense!!! When Lewis announced he was leaving there was pretty much a cry in unison by all F1 spokespersons about the fact it would not be an easy time and that privilege would at some point would not be in Lewis favour in that team...a known F1 team procedure. With the grid all closing up you can see how close it is... the smallest things are going to make the biggest difference if we had a scale to weigh out Mercedes suport to each driver to be as optimal as possible which scale would be heaviest...Georges or Lewis right now?.

Except, you need all the degradation and tyre temp data for a specific car to comment on whether or not softs were a viable choice for anyone at that point. Since nobody in any team used them I guess not. The driver may assume something during the race but it is the team who has the data. It doesn't mean they are losing their minds.

mate honestly you are as deluded as Lulu himself

@@user-bw9kj9ii1m11 I agree with you as well.

I agree as well. Cameron - I have several compelling points regarding the recent qualifying session: (1) The temperature issue was isolated to qualifying and not present during earlier practice sessions (FP1 through FP3). This inconsistency suggests that other factors could have been introduced to influence the performance gap between drivers.; (2) George admitted to studying Lewis' track data from FP3, indicating a performance inferiority that obviously could have assisted his strong qualifying performance; you don't do that if you are the faster driver; (3) George had a rear-wing upgrade that Lewis did not possess, providing him with additional aerodynamic grip. This upgrade, estimated to yield a significant improvement of 0.2 to 0.4 seconds per lap, likely played a crucial role in George's performance. (4) The specific layout of the track, particularly in Sectors 1 and 3 with slower combination turns and switch-backs, allowed George to capitalize on the added grip from the rear wing upgrade thus applying power earlier than Lewis, resulting in purple sectors. (5) Lewis, recognizing that he was in an inferior car compared to George's, had nothing to lose by pushing his limits during the final qualifying lap. Despite this, achieving a lap within 0.3 seconds of George's time would still be considered impressive given the disparities in equipment. (6) The comparison between George and Lewis should also consider equipment differences, as George's superior car may skew perceptions of driver performance. The last yellow sector, in particular, would likely not be yellow if both drivers had identical equipment. (6) Considering these factors, I predict that the real story will emerge when Lewis receives the same rear wing upgrade as George. Additionally, Lewis's strategic decision to stay out on medium tires and build a significant advantage for the final laps demonstrates his confidence and exceptional skill and tire management abilities, but the team over ruled him (check the audio). (same in Monaco when he wanted to start on Mediums instead of Hards..which was nullified by Mags crash). Ultimately, I urge you to reconsidering your judgments based on real info, upgrades and sector characteristics/times from practice sessions, as these factors significantly influence driver performance and comparisons between teammates. Lastly, this is F1 as you know and the front and rear wings work together...so effectively Lewis was driving with mis-matched aero-package...Not easy to do; but Lewis is not one to make excuses...he just being transparent about the behind the scenes games and strategies that may be in play. I WOULD NOT BET AGAINST LEWIS ONCE HE HAS A TRULY COMPETITIVE CAR. WE WILL SEE..I GUESS

So what are you saying? And be specific.

The hards weren’t that bad pace wise tho so there was no risk taking them. He also was on mediums prior and didn’t do much with them.

@@bniceuk8207 Risk what genius?

@@bniceuk8207 that’s a great cope but for one they pitted George on hards first then gave him mediums and did the opposite for lewis. From what the data showed the hards were not a bad tyre to be on, they also get less mediums and hards and get mostly softs. They have to use those tyres throughout the whole weekend. So idk what Hamilton’s tyre wear looked like I don’t think you know either. I’m just saying it’s getting ridiculous that everytime lewis gets beaten or has a lackluster performance there’s always an excuse, it’s become so ridiculous that we actually have prominent channels trying to claim he either isn’t trying cus he’s done with the team, or now we have Mercedes is trying to sabotage him. It’s ridiculous and his fans should be embarrassed by how they act.

Mercedes sabotage is obvious this is f1, sabotage has been and will always be a thing. Luckily hes out of that rubbish team Mercedes will keep falling and will swallow their pride. Soon they will be racing williams for p10.

I want a coffee mug, so when I’m on my camera during work calls and hear something crazy they see me take a sip with the slogan on it 😂

Coffee mug with 'What are we doing?'

But I digress

Lol facts go to your cult members.

You guys see your own facts, and in absence of facts you will blame someone another driver

Lmaoo if you get the reference… this is hilarious 😂

Lewis: Bono my tires are finished, got no grip Him: sets fastest lap😂😅

🤣

Speak on it.🗣️

So what they were all faster than Max during practice, but practice is not the race being fast in practice does not guarantee you anything specially as everyone can still change setups.

Second run is defunct. No one went quicker apart from Max. The wind killed everyone. I read the Lewis quote verbatim. He said qualifying, not the second Q3 run

@@CameronF1TV so why it is accepted that the wind killed every but max improved... yet Lewis was able to better his last sector in the same said wind... to me that speaks to the tires coming to the driver too late in the lap.... but we will never really know so 🤷🏾‍♂️...

@@AlanWiggins-dq3cb He bettered his last sector on his 2nd lap because on his 1st run he made a mistake in the last corner which is where he lost all the time to George you can literally see it in the telemetry map out of the last corner. People are to desperate to create a excuse for Lewis its not a good look.

@@KrypticTMG all the time is relative... GR got a mega tow from Albon giving him 8kph over LH on that str8 ... that is where most of the time was lost to GR ... it is not about being bias,,,, well not for me.. is about being logical some shady business is going on in that camp point blank.... outside of qualifying why did merc pit LH to put on hards wen his mediums could have gotten him to the end? Why not fit softs for the remaining 11 laps?... I can say LH made loads of mistakes in that race lucky to end up where he did ... but that doesn't mean shady business isn't happening in that garage.

100% right. I can’t believe they are trying to say the hards were no better than the medium. Even getting a hard up to temp takes longer. And the track was cold with evaporating water!

Drama queen...

its called splitting the strat... If those infront pitted for the final safety car, lewis could stay on the hards till the end...

@@b29ak2007he didn’t have anymore mediums, that’s why. It had nothing to do with split strategy. But he had softs and merc didn’t put him on them.

@MrGtubedude you assume the person I am replying to is talking about the second pitstop behind the final safety car... and not the first stop where Hamilton was on mediums and Russel was on hards 😅 Though now I realise... Merc did that shit backwards... and what I said though true should have been their thinking

Only scrubbed softs available, to much of a gamble with little reward

😂

Sad but true 😂

Lewis has everything to sort of overstay his welcome in F1. What I mean here is that racewins and such could become an even further distant memory with Lewis slowly becoming a meme. 2021 probably has something to do with that, but all this complaining and pointing to others ain't helping none including himself.

Pure truth 💪🏻.

@@GTE_ChannelThat’s what I’m concerned about. Both George and Charles have shown that especially off track they have a heart of gold and are incredibly kind people. But that vocal minority of Lewis’s fans can never be fair, nor even respectful of anyone who challenges Lewis.

George is a highly technical guy who really understands the engineering nuances behind his car. Lewis admitted that George is way more technical than he at the start of this year. Getting in the car and just driving the wheels off it (Kimi Raikkonen being the extreme example) just don't cut it anymore with these cars and I'm sure Lewis is suffering a little as a result. I really hope he gets on well at his new team but fear it could turn out more embarrassing than this year for him.

It was FP, with a changing track shit happens

Guess why? 🤫

Riding a motorbike and competing against the fastest drivers in the world in there mid twenties is two different things.

@@KrypticTMG of course, you're right, but you miss my point my friend

A sabbatical is like entering Hotel California..."you can never leave". Any advance you have over your competition will diminish if you check out and thus you'll never return as good as you were before. So the excuses say more than enough. If it doesn't bother you, don't even mention it.

It made perfect sense as he did not have any medium sets left... (Pirelli publishes Race Sets left before the race. And they all start the weekend on the same package.

He has 1 win lol and has folded under pressure.... but that's your opinion

@@davidf5449 That one win is more recent than any of Lewis’s. He didn’t fold in Canada. Everyone made a misjudgment of the wet track. That’s different to an under-pressure mistake.

he folded in singapore 23 and made multiple errors at canada 24 ... great one lap pace but lacks in the race.

@@thewalrus1968 Didn’t make a single major error in Canada.

You might want to read this: www.motorsportweek.com/2024/02/02/court-decision-suggests-mercedes-would-lose-abu-dhabi-2021-appeal/

Great article, my point is more about intent rather than the outcome.

@@rabinderkhurana7598 I think Mercedes was very aware of such an outcome. All international sporting courts work with the idea that a wrong can't be made more wrong by judicial intervention. It's harsh for sure, but I think there was no way to revert this and Mercedes legal found this out quickly. Do you then in front of international sporting courts want to make a mockery of yourself? Probably not, even if you know that you might have a good case. But in court it's not what you know, but what you can prove.

Ufff got me. Anomalous. On the orders of the team though no?

Going back a whole 15 years to make a point, hilarious. The whole confusion came with Trulli going off track behind the SC was due to Spa 2008 when he was mugged off a win for overtaking Kimi at the next turn. LOL

@@CameronF1TV The orders of the team but I'm sure he'd go against the teams wishes every time if they go against his morals, eg to spread diversity into sport and the causes he supports

@@DavidJohnson-dc8lu This is just one of the times he got caught. He's made other questionable statements too like "maybe the stewards are picking on me because I'm black" But my point was Cameron not remembering Lewis Hamilton ever being a liar in the sport. What he's been saying lately hinting at sabotage though definitely reeks of a driver looking for excuses on why his team mate is doing a better job than him this season.

Before I get labelled a Hamilton hater. I'll openly admit I'm not his biggest fan. I think sport should be all about talent, not getting in a few women, or different races of people in the team over more talented people, whatever gender or race they are. Talent should trump all in sport. So that's why I'm not his biggest fan but beyond that I can still see he's a top 3-4 driver in the sport at the least behind obviously verstappen, then take your pick out of lando, alonso, leclerc and Hamilton in whatever order even though Hamilton like alonso does seem to have lost his one lap pace the last year or two. Cameron says qualifying was never his strong suit but I'd argue he could have been the best 1 lap qualifier in his prime years ago. He's still clearly one of the best but doesn't take away the fact he can be annoying more often than not, even though very smart about the way he gets political messages out in his interviews

Lewis had no mediums tyres remaining

Hamilton did have medium tires. His team told him they put the slicks on because they said it would be faster

@@sivuyilemnguni842 Yes he did he had one set left and had softs too!

Qualifying, Lewis says it was his fault, why George out qualified him. He admitted it was his mistake. BUT those hard tires with 10 laps to go and not mediums, there is no excuse for Mercedes

​@@DavidJohnson-dc8luHe was on the medium tyre before the SC then he changed it since it was a free pit stop.

“Inferior driver” then speaks even worse about guy losing 8-1 and 7-2 in quali and races so far this year.

Inferior and thrashing his team mate Lewis. 😂😂😂 You didn’t pass your logic exam did you 😂😂😂

I think a lot of people are finding this hard to deal with, but Lewis advantage over most of these younger guys is consistency and knowhow. He doesn't have a 1 lap pace advantage over these younger guys like Max, Norris, Piastri, Leclerc and Russell. We are seeing Lewis struggle because everyone at the front has a decent car right now and if he is slightly off form he will be punished. The past is not a form guide for the future if you are racing against a bunch guys that are seriously fast and you don't have the car advantage you useto naturally your results will worsen. If your off form and you have a quick teammate you will get beat simple. All these excuses are not going to wash all season long what are we going to say next year if he struggles against Leclerc in quali.

@KrypticTMG Not an excuse but a concern. Take Jeddah for example. George was really fast the whole weekend so when he qualified ahead I understood. And Lewis needs to work on his quali because 9 times out of 10 he is always faster than George in the race and at times matching the front runners. But Monaco and Canada have me seriously scratching my head. If his form in one lap pace was down, it should reflect in the entire weekend. Not just quali.

@@sophiemwasela8099 But practice is just practice. Teams and drivers work on different things change setups find things in the data from practice to quali. We dont even know what programmes the drivers are running or how hard they are pushing in practice. Max was not close to Mercedes in practice but in quali he was right there. You only see everyone's true performance in Qualifying, if i was you i would stop using practice as a absolute guide for the pecking order because its not. All your doing is looking for reasons to deflect from the real issue which is Lewis in quali has been making tiny errors which is costing him. If you look at Lewis over the past 4years at monaco more often than not he has qualified poorly going back to 2021. All im saying is if we go into 2025 saying Mercedes sabotaged Lewis then he rocks up at Ferrari and the same thing happens what do you think the media will do to him. If the shoe was on the other foot and Russell was saying what Lewis is saying everybody would be laughing at him.

@KrypticTMG 1. I agree practice is just practice. You will never know what programs teams are running. That's why my focus here is on the 2 Merc drivers. George himself said that he had to go study Lewis' laps from Fp3 and that's how he brought the performance in quali. How the person that made those insane laps lost performance 🤷🏾‍♀️ 2. Monaco 2021 Lewis was right up there with Max but his last Q3 lap was hindered by a red flag so he couldn't improve. Like what happened in Canada, in that he wasn't able to improve on his first Q3 run and ended up in 7th. Others improved on their first run and he didn't. The other 2 years well..the same case as this year. Practice and quali settings. 3. I usually watch on two screens and one usually has Lewis' onboard at all times. I know it was just practice. But the lap in practice was almost flawless in that there were very little corrections. But in quali..my goodness. But that's what happens when you have low grip caused by tyres that don't have the optimal temp in them. 4. Max was closer at the end yes but that's because both Merc drivers didn't improve on their last Q3 runs. The change in wind direction caught them both out.

@sophiemwasela8099 LOL nah Queen Lewis was well off all weekend at Monaco 2021 I don't think he had single good session from my memory he was always atleast 3tenths off. I understand everything you're saying but you are not taking into account that the conditions had also changed from practice to quali. The track temps had changed the wind had picked up and changed direction so he may of had to alter his tire preparation for that. Lewis's telemetry showed he was braking later than George but he was getting slower corner exits. He was trying to drive to the conditions he had in practice but didn't adapt to how those conditions had changed for quali and that was the cause of his problems. This all got debunked on The Race youtube channel. Plus if Lewis noticed his tire temps were lower why did he not come over the radio as soon as he left the pits. He said everytime he left the pits his temps were down but never mentioned it over radio once. If he thought his temps were down for his 1st run don't you think he would of said to the team make sure they are right for the 2nd run. It comes down to this Lewis at 39 will not get any faster natural evolution will happen and these young guys will take driving to another level they have had so many drivers to learn off, because you think Lewis is the benchmark when he is being beaten you don't even consider the fact that other could be doing a better job. No sport stands still, and great drivers will be surpassed its natural. Max will get to 35 or 36 and some young guy will come through and be quicker than him. It happens to everyone.

That's easy. Drivers have nothing to say in the matter of data exchange. The team pays your salary and wants to do well with BOTH cars, since WCC is where the money is and not the WDC.

Dude, you’d know that was bogus on the point about pressure. He’s fine with pressure. What he’s had, as you’d know is potentially the worst run of F1 cars ever. All three Williams cars, weren’t good, the W13 & W14, I don’t think I need to say anything. He’s only had six seasons in F1 and hasn’t had a good car for FIVE of them.

Max, Lando and Piastri never pitted at the 2nd safety car so Lewis would of been behind all of them and had George right behind him on fresh Mediums so staying out was pointless for Lewis.

Even if Lewis doesn't outqualify Charles, but can be pretty close to him, lose out by just a whisker (as opposed to the current landslide of 8-1).....that may raise a few questions on the Merc sabotage front.

😂

Potentially. Just no knowing 😭

@@CameronF1TV Indeed, I also take on your point that recently Lewis is simply processing his internal thoughts when ever he's interveiwed straight after the event! Obviously it must feel unconftable , though understandable, that the team squeezes you out of the the core meetings. Purhaps this unfamily feeling make Lewis's race harder for him to evaluate - his trust must have already been dameage to have reached out to Ferrari! Had he been pushed out for a while now, for Antonelli
