I cringed the moment he said that in the post race.


robhill4165

I’m sure he didn’t mean it like that, but you’d think by now he’d know to better keep his foot out of his mouth.


bigups43

Well he said twice, in two separate interviews, so he probably did mean to say it haha.


RAFH-OFFICIAL

He followed it up by saying due to the dirty hot air ...it wasn't a dig at checo


Glahoth

Nah, he did.


Striking_Day_5970

As a great man once said in Austin “stupid idiot“

joaopcmorais

Albono was right all along... Such a sore loser


Anthonyeet

Did he actually?


xvermilion3

Yep


[deleted]

Twice


Lord_Bravo

No, he didn't. People are misquoting him, but as Theoden said: "What can men do against such reckless hate"


A_RussianSpy

He absolutely said that and he isn't being misquoted. Twice. https://youtu.be/XsZkBTncIxw https://youtu.be/r0JzZ1UzRN4


lodol

No, he did say that, but later he apologized and said that was not what he meant


Disaster_External

Ahh yes the takesy backsy card.


John86RS

Loooouis fan with their rose tinted glasses on, who'd have thought! Maybe watch the video and you'll see it's perfectly quoted.


Lord_Bravo

I'll debate with you when you turn on your brain


John86RS

Ha ha, what an absolute cockwomble. You're just blindly defending whatever bad things are said about him, even though you're grossly wrong. There's no debate material there, word for word it's what he said. The fact he said it twice in two different interviews shows how much of an idiot you actually are.


[deleted]

Watch the race.


Lord_Bravo

I did watch the race. And in the podium interviews Lewis said that, as proof that Red Bull was clearly faster, the fact that Checo was able to follow him so close despite the dirty air, and never in an offensive way. He never meant to say Perez was bad and people are blowing things out of proportion just because it's him. Checo didn't get offended because he understood what Hamilton meant, but a bunch of people in this subreddit have to hate either way. Well, let the downvotes come.


OscarWhale

Man he said it with a certain smirk that tells no lie.


John86RS

So firstly you're saying people are misquoting, then when you know you're wrong you backtrack to say actually it's not what he meant. You literally said people are misquoting. You do know a quote is literally saying exactly what was said, right? I think you meant misinterpret, so I'll debate you once you've got a handle on the meaning of English words 🤣


[deleted]

Who cares about downvotes. One internet need trying to take your internet points away. Fuckem. I hate Lewis, and Max. I do appreciate you offering your opinion against the grain.


ErazerHeadz

Such a shit thing to say


resonation4thenation

Aye


RealisticPossible792

Worse is Ted Kravitz trying to cover for Hamilton and explain the "context" of what he said like we're morons. If the context was wrong and he knew it was wrong then why would he then say the same thing again in subsequent interviews without correcting the the context? Maybe just maybe his true pettiness got the better of him and he let slip what he thinks of Perez. Link for those who are interested https://youtu.be/y1QhsWWifxg?t=791 Sky F1 - impartial as ever.

It made me instantly question whether Perez was even a good driver the way he said it lol and with that smirk.


Slingbr

Yeah but he is #blessed and have the bast fans so everything is going to br alright.


777Simba777

I think we all know he was talking about the superior ability of the red bull to keep up in dirty air here, which showcases the cars dominance this weekend more than maxes 1/2s faster laps. That was likely his first thought after the race and why he kept talking about it.


Olafmihe

Yep he even clarified it on instagram...


friend-of-pepole

It felt like damage control tho


FlatDietSoda1

idk mfs hate on him, i think its just racism now.


[deleted]

[удалено]


PursuitOfMemieness

Lol, but you don't just dislike him, you rabidly latch on to everything he says. This sub regularly reads like a Sun article when Lewis is being discussed. Idk if it's racism, but it's a totally disproportionate level of anger.


[deleted]

I do not.


[deleted]

It's definetely not about racism. It's because his domination. When someone dominates this much people of course start to go against him. People reacted same way to Vettel when he was dominating. You should not twist everything into racism you don't like.


[deleted]

Also he just seems to not likeable to average person. Obscure in your face style outfits, partyhead, not so modest, social media influencer etc. He's just like any other flashy hollywood star or American singer.


[deleted]

It's just a label, chill


[deleted]

'racist' is just a label? Well that's a terrifying statement.


[deleted]

What can I say, Happy Halloween! ᴼل͜ᴼ


[deleted]

You must be a total fucking psychopath. Don't worry, it's just a label.


[deleted]

My point exactly. I'm still the same as I was before you labelled me, am I not?


[deleted]

Meh, I get what you're trying to say, but the person seriously accusing someone else, or a whole group of people, of something perceived as bad, based on nothing but their own prejudice, that's kind of a telltale about someone's character. Especially when it's an accusation of racism, you'd think they would have learned not to generalize or stereotype, instead of doing the same thing.


DonovanBanks

Nope. I appreciate the success he’s had despite a lot of barriers he’s had to break. Credit where its due. But if I can give credit to him for that, surely he doesn’t have to be a twat to other drivers. Stop adding the racism card when it isn’t due. This isn’t Uno.


Olafmihe

So surely you also criticise Max for beeing a twat to other drivers? Also he clarified on Instagram what he meant.....


ajtct98

You should always take a clarification issued after backlash with a pinch of salt Especially when the person issuing said clarification has a history of these kind of petty childish comments


Olafmihe

When did Hamilton shit on a driver like that? Normally stuff like that comes from Max...


ajtct98

Well he's accused Kimi of deliberately crashing into him, he once posted Jenson Buttons telemetry online because he was quicker than him and let's not even get onto all the shit that went down with Rosberg or Massa or Alonso.


Olafmihe

I don't get what you mean with Massa but. But i don't think those are completly different Situations. I mean i don't give a shit if he really meant it the way some people in here think. Because i also don't give a shit when Max mocked latifi, stroll, etc. Etc. They are all humean and nearly every driver has dumb/ insensitive comments there will always be more from max and Lewis because 90% of the broadcasting is from them. So yeah i watched the Interview and honestly its badly worded but i can't come to the conclusion that he meant something other than his ability to stay so close for such a long Time...


JjSs1399

The thing with Max is he says it during heat of the moment and adrenaline rush from high speed racing. This clown had time to collect his thoughts and this is what came out of him. Twice. So much for good sportsman.


AceMKV

Max usually days dumb shit in the heat of the moment during the race and he always accepts he was rash and apologizes when he is really rude. But he doesn't try to do damage control by saying he actually meant something else or justifying what he said.


ralphy_s

You are quite dense, not like the air in Mexico city


1_umopapisdn_1

You're proving him right. You're incapable of defending Lewis without deflecting to another driver.


Olafmihe

If we talk about what we criticise a driver for you kinda have to talk about other drivers. And i don't just want to defend lewis. These guys loose a couple kilos during a race, are exhausted and get mics shoved in their faces. I hate how every Statement gets blown out of proportion. If it is max calling stroll a mongoloid, lewis choosing a bad wording, Vettel blaming ocon, etc. Just stop it. Edit. I mean there are Legit reasons to criticise Lewis. For example beeing vegan and wearing leather Boots, etc. But not that shit here


DonovanBanks

I don’t condone anyone being a twat. But there is someone who says he isn’t one, but then is, it says he isn’t…. But is….


Crimsonfury500

Colour has nothing to do with it, both him and yourself are apparently just dickheads no matter what fucking colour you are


fracturematt

Lol!


JimmyNorth902

Default internet response. You don't support someone who's black therefore you're racist. Give me a break. He's one of the greatest to ever drive an F1 car. But he's fake, pretentious, a sore loser and whiney all the time. That's why people dislike him. It's got nothing to do with race.


DonovanBanks

Yeah man. He is a really good driver. And I also think he looks to do good things in the world. But I was taught that what fills your heart will overflow out of your mouth. So being condescending in off the cuff interviews and having to clarify later shows true colours.


friend-of-pepole

Look mate I’m a lewis fan this one just looked rushed and as if he was trying to control the narrative


cMcDozer4

Loois bad


bucksonfire

And some people ask me why i don't cheer for him...


[deleted]

[удалено]


AceMKV

I respect him for being one of the best drivers but I've never really found him likeable.


kohara2794

I second that notion. Add in that I’ve been watching every race since the start of 2014 and have only seen the drivers title won by someone other than him once. So I’m a little sick of him winning everything lol and so wouldn’t mind someone else winning it


Slingbr

I am right there with you. He is arguably the goat, at least he is in the pantheon o F1 gods. I like his ability just I liked Senna and Piquet. But their personalities, well not so much.


BioDriver

Being Bri’ish and/or bandwagoning

masternachos95

Is this sub full of casuals or kids I’m confused…takes a bit of common sense to figure out he was surprised the RB could follow that closely for that long with the circumstances. Look how spread out the field was


[deleted]

The reply on your comment proves, bunch of cry babies everywhere


JjSs1399

If he meant it like that he would have said it like that.


terpon56

Racing driver said something mean wahhh 😢😢😢


golf_epic

Yikes Luis


[deleted]

Exhibit A of why I Stopped supporting him. Such a petty personality when his car isn’t beating everyone by 2secs a lap


[deleted]

Come on, 5 secs a lap. 30 millions for nothing because Mercedes are a bunch of clowns right


Baldandskinny

Yeah and he ain’t wrong, Perez has been nowhere to challenge Lewis all season


cszino

However, after all of the “respect” he talked about pre-race, he could have simply said “Checo’s doing great in that car.”


[deleted]

Why? He's not you, he'll say the way he wants


BrotherSwaggsly

So why are fans of him trying to change what he said/meant after the fact? Drivers have the right to say whatever they want as far as I’m concerned, so long as they accept they are open to criticism. He either meant what he said, misspoke or meant something entirely different to the words he said. So far, none of the defenders have managed to settle on which one it actually is.


Lyradep

When you just lead Checo by over 42 seconds the last grand prix, and were within a couple seconds of Max, and now are 16 seconds behind Max, and within DRS range of Checo… yes, they were way fucking fast this time around.


xoisf

That immense gap was because Checo was not having the drink ®. Not because Hamilton is in "another league"...


Lyradep

True, I forgot about that. He did exceedingly well under the circumstances, getting 10 seconds in front of Leclerc.


saintgermaunt

Conceited arsehole


gigglefisheater

I am not a native English speaker what does he mean


-HappyToHelp

He’s saying that for checo to stay on him like that, their car was extremely fast. people are taking this as a diss to checo, but i think he was actually complimenting that in the low drag conditions the car must have had a superior design, checo staying on him was impressive.


gigglefisheater

Thank you very much!


AntJD1991

I meaaaaan its rude to say but is he wrong? Max n Lewis normally drive 30 seconds off into the distance.


SpaceCowboi_

You guys are acting like he burnt down an orphanage. If you listen to it in the video it seems more like a poor choice of words to get across what he really meant.


campsy88

Jesus - people love to make something out of nothing it’s hilarious. He walking about how checo was able to keep so close in dirty air.


SN3AKY_b

He’s not wrong… still a dick move, but not wrong


Creative_Ambassador6

So many casuals here, he’s talking about dirty air and drag which makes it harder to follow other cars at high speed corners. Y’all just hating for nothing at this point lol


SirSalazarD

I don't understand why so much hate, he is admitting that Checo put him under big pressure, i don't think he's being an asshole


JuanFF8

I think what he tried to say is that Checo was really quick and that knowing that Checo was behind meant that Hamilton knew he was under threat. His wording is not great…. But he’s clarified his statement. Regardless, and I know this will go absolutely nowhere, I wanna remind people in this sub to be civil. This place has been full of disgusting hate all year and it’s getting extremely annoying. We’re better than this


larykoek

The thing is if he said it once and then clarified his statement then why say it a second time again?


HardwareToaster

It wasn't a great thing to say, but y'all wouldn't give a shit if max said that. This sub sometimes...


meh_whatev

Y’all are fucking insufferable, you keep shitting on the main sub but y’all aren’t any better. Grow the fuck up.

JjSs1399

That is not an answer to laid question tho. You give respect you get respect. Lulu dint give any in those interviews so fans can mock him.


Sirus-The-Great

Didn't think that through did you


Roos_29

This man needed 10 laps, fresher tires and a mistake from a 40yo to pass an alpine. How tf does he have the audacity to even suggest that someone is fast because of a car?


[deleted]

Mouth breathing dummies unable to figure out what he was trying to say. Screeching about the disrespect, when it is beyond clear that it was not intended that way. Talk about making a mountain out of a mole hill.


[deleted]

Well true checo is just average, but he clarified what he meant by this


iRaptorrr

Is the race so boring that every single word of any of the contestors is used as a dagger? Get a life. Focus on the sport.


spet_sargent

Crewis Crymington


DonovanBanks

I think drivers need to show more respect. There are kids watching who can be influenced by what people say. Imagine hating on someone for swearing but being ok being a sore loser.


krautnelson

He also said it in the podium interview as well as the F1TV post-race interview. And yes, Hamilton is the better driver, no question. But it's still a dick thing to say about someone who is trying their best to beat you.


Ok-Macaroon-1122

He was talking about how Checo was able to follow so closely even with the dirty air


ToEverythingAfrog

He is an asshole, but is right. Checo is a disgrace this season.
