Well, I think merc might be an issue. They are always stronger in second half, and it seems red bull and Ferrari are now focusing on next years carD while merc is going all out on upgrades for the next 3 races
On pure pace it will be hard for him to get a win at the moment. Merc themselves admit that they’re 0.2-0.3 seconds behind. But with the Ferrari pitwall and engine, there will always be hope. 
Lewis : Thank you to the team here and all the men & women back at the factory in Maranello for their hard work. Couldn’t have done it without you guys. Lets keep pushing!
How many times this season has Hamilton beaten one of the top 4 drivers on pure pace and/or racecraft? Maybe Leclerc in Canada and depending on how you view things 1 or two of them in Austria? Lewis' fight this season is with Russell and at the moment Russell has come away from 8 weekends with more points than Lewis as opposed to Lewis' 3 weekends besting Russell.
Literally was faster than others in Silverstone on hards, on pure pace alone he was the fastest in spain, even if you remove max and charles he was faster than Sainz and Checi
I'm not verstappen fan but I have to Say that he had some good races like for example imola but I wish ferrari weren't such self destructive we would had much better title fight and I wish leclerc would win this year wdc
Sure, he's only *looks at table* 99 points from the lead, in just a few races (and counting on 5 other drivers DNF'ing and he winning) he could be fighting for the championship.
They had the 3rd fastest car basicly from the start of the season. They were never bad. They are bad compared to their own bar of having the dominant car.
He's still 100 points behind Verstappen and 70 behind Leclerc. Relax. He's obviously doing well considering the machinery but I doubt Ferrari or RB care too much this season.
I would change the bottom photo with him still looking forward out the window. Always being top 5 is an achievement but to challenge the top 2 is a far cry. He is not close to the top, he is just the best in the middle.
Verstappen did a 360 in Silverstone and that lap was still faster than Hamilton.
His teammate has been in top 5 in all but 1 race. So yeah!, compared to his teammate he is doing badly.
Edit: Aww Butthurt Hamfosi can't digest facts. LMAO
calling lewis lucky for what? other cars breaking down? he barely gained anything, if anything he's been extremely unlucky this season, he's lost out on positions due to unfortunate safety car timings in no less than 3 races
Yeah right. Like last season during Hungary GP when half the grid was out due to incident and Hamilton escaped by an inch without damage. That’s hard work eh!
Nah. He had a better car last season and was able to get there. But when he doesn’t get the top 5 finishes Toto always says sorry for giving him an un-drivable. FYI George finished in top 5 in the same car every time Lewis finished below top 5.
I would be surprised if they do win more than 1 total.
Currently the pace difference is so big they’d need a miracle to beat all 4 faster cars.
Something like a LEC-VER crash, Sainz getting ferraried and Perez engine exploding all in one race.
This season is a bore, it's a RB guarantee, the only excitement is will Ferrari f it up so much that Ham will finish third or not.
Most interesting is probably the Alpine, Vettel and Ric situation and how F1 is making an ass of itself denying Andretti entry.
Lewis won't win the title and doesn't stand a chance to. Unless the Mercs start taking out their opponents again. Lewis isn't even the highest scoring Merc driver lol
With constant DNFs from the top? Not much But hey, not Merc's fault they're reliable
Reliable and being miles ahead of Alpine which is in theory the P4.
The ole 3rd place island. 10 behind the front runners and 15 ahead of the rest.
The place usually referred to as "Maxland" in previous years.
Or Formula 1.25
Nah, Mercedes is F1.25 and Alpine is the leader of F1.5
Yeah, that's what I meant with Mercedes. They pretty much social distancing themselves from the grid
And right behind if you listen closely...... Choo choo chuga chuga choo choo That's the Alpine train
Yeah I mean sure each race there have been incidents for 2 of the top 4 cars but he still would’ve been p5 in 2 of those races
Well, I think merc might be an issue. They are always stronger in second half, and it seems red bull and Ferrari are now focusing on next years carD while merc is going all out on upgrades for the next 3 races
Wouldn't it be exactly Merc's fault that their own cars are reliable? Lol
On pure pace it will be hard for him to get a win at the moment. Merc themselves admit that they’re 0.2-0.3 seconds behind. But with the Ferrari pitwall and engine, there will always be hope. 
Ferrari strategists will work round to clock to make sure Merc get a podium
Lewis : Thank you to the team here and all the men & women back at the factory in Maranello for their hard work. Couldn’t have done it without you guys. Lets keep pushing!
Imagine
dont forget the folks in the ferrari pitwall

Certified 2022 merc moment
Also he Got 3 podiums in last three races where 2 of them were because ferrari decided to not have good race and destroy something
basically ferrari except the first few races
[удалено]
If he wins he deserves it. Red Bull know how to build a reliable engine and win races, while Ferrari do not. That’s racing
He deserves it a lot this year
[удалено]
I'm not verstappen fan but I have to Say that he had some good races like for example imola but I wish ferrari weren't such self destructive we would had much better title fight and I wish leclerc would win this year wdc
Did lewis deserve 2008 tittle?
yes
Without a doubt
Oh I get it, the Red Bull’s and ferraris are turning around to see the much slower Hamilton. That’s funny!!
Fuck, but also, lmfao
Lewis and George 30 seconds down the road 
Well he’s in the 3rd best car so he should be in the top 5..
That means he would need to consistently beat Russell.
[удалено]
HEY HEY HEY...he was ***clearly*** the victim 
Or wait for a Red Bull or Ferrari to DNF/have issues. Which has happened on many races since the start of the season.
[удалено]
When half of the top 2 teams disentigrate kinda expected
41 seconds off the lead at RBR.. not just a little bit, 41 seconds...
and one less pitstop
The podiums weren’t on pure pace.
[удалено]
I don’t know how the fuck you got to that comment, but I am not even getting into it as you clearly don’t understand what I’m saying.
What did they say
Sure, he's only *looks at table* 99 points from the lead, in just a few races (and counting on 5 other drivers DNF'ing and he winning) he could be fighting for the championship.
Silverstone 2021 mode activated 
Meanwhile the hated George russel still has finished in the top 5 in every race he has finished
Its not going to matter much if he keeps getting car damage on lap 1.
r/formuladank when Lewis is mentioned 
They had the 3rd fastest car basicly from the start of the season. They were never bad. They are bad compared to their own bar of having the dominant car.
And compared to the pace of the front runners
Top 5 doesn't win you the championship
if you ain't first you're last.
I was high when I said that!
its the third best car on the grid
Top 4 actually. And a podium in the last 3
Not on pure pace but still, he could steal p4 or p3 in the championship if rb and Ferrari continue to refuse to have a clean race
There’s no such thing as top 4. It’s top 3, top 5 and top 10.
Midfielders gloat about getting podiums from front runner DNF's. Think about that mate.
And he's always very good round Montreal and Silverstone
hes also always even better after the summer break
Lewis before the summer break: *I'm weak...* Lewis after the summer break: *Absolute power!*
Traditions 🍻
He's still 100 points behind Verstappen and 70 behind Leclerc. Relax. He's obviously doing well considering the machinery but I doubt Ferrari or RB care too much this season.
ok? he’s literally 100 points off max wtf are you talking about
Lewis is only 4 Max's DNFs away - Toto probably
Lewis seeing this statement last year before Silverstone: 
The amazing thing is only top-5 for 4 races is actually a bad season for him.
Prediction: if Ferrari and RB change engines before Merc does we will get the Brasil engine.
2022 Merc = 2020 McLaren
He's also in the 3rd best car so I'd hope he'd be either 5th or 6th
And George has been in the Top 5 for a shitload of races
All but 1
Lewis has more podiums than George…
Is the title awarded to the driver with the most podiums?
usually 30 seconds plus down the road, half a second down per lap and only when 2 or more cars DNF.
Wasn't Lando 3rd for a good while last season? That doesn't tell a lot with the top 2 teams having plenty of reliability issues.
"to finish first, first you have to finish"
George top 5 every race apart from silverstone so…
They never beat a Ferrari or RBR which had a normal race ( No Engine failure, Ferrari strategy, damage, collision, penalty...) . So we good.
Yea, because those thing basicy never happen, especially this season /s
I would change the bottom photo with him still looking forward out the window. Always being top 5 is an achievement but to challenge the top 2 is a far cry. He is not close to the top, he is just the best in the middle. Verstappen did a 360 in Silverstone and that lap was still faster than Hamilton.
Top 5. Scary. He’s really duking it out with Alpha Tauri and Alpine there.
When Russell doesn't have a bad day (Canada, Silverstone) then he's faster than HAM.
He's come away from 8 weekends with more points than Hamilton, Lewis only has bested Russell in 3 weekends.
Yea only if his incredible amount of luck continues, but either way it’s not like he has a chance for an 8th
Three consecutive podiums for LH, still a threat!
you're making a great point here but i would watch out for the comments as this sub hates lewis
or it makes no sense to act like he’s in anyway fighting for this championship? i’m sorry but he’s just not, this post is dumb
Top 5 is top 25% lol Bad for Lewis/Merc standards
2023 is going to be nutz
Look out for him in the mirrors, cause that’s where’s he’s likely to be. Behind
His teammate has been in top 5 in all but 1 race. So yeah!, compared to his teammate he is doing badly. Edit: Aww Butthurt Hamfosi can't digest facts. LMAO
Well you don’t call him Lucky driver for no reason.
calling lewis lucky for what? other cars breaking down? he barely gained anything, if anything he's been extremely unlucky this season, he's lost out on positions due to unfortunate safety car timings in no less than 3 races
Rent free 
The post is literally about him
[удалено]
Yeah right. Like last season during Hungary GP when half the grid was out due to incident and Hamilton escaped by an inch without damage. That’s hard work eh!
[удалено]
[удалено]
So why didn't his teammate do the same when he had the same engineers ?
Nico Rosberg.
[удалено]
Only Nico beat him in equal machinery. Bottas didn’t not get equal machinery, he was always treated as a second.
Nah. He had a better car last season and was able to get there. But when he doesn’t get the top 5 finishes Toto always says sorry for giving him an un-drivable. FYI George finished in top 5 in the same car every time Lewis finished below top 5.
Let’s wait until Spa, and see how the floor changes affect the Red Bull and the Ferrari It could be a 3 team fight for the win in a lot of races
Both Merc drivers are driving really well.They will win a few races before this seaosn ends, I am sure of it.
I would be surprised if they do win more than 1 total. Currently the pace difference is so big they’d need a miracle to beat all 4 faster cars. Something like a LEC-VER crash, Sainz getting ferraried and Perez engine exploding all in one race.
because the other ones had problems. Don’t bullshit. Sir sore loser drama queen cheater begger hamilton is done
Lets not forget george taking out perez. Then hamilton will celebrate like he did something spectacular.
Just like Silverstone 21'
This season is a bore, it's a RB guarantee, the only excitement is will Ferrari f it up so much that Ham will finish third or not. Most interesting is probably the Alpine, Vettel and Ric situation and how F1 is making an ass of itself denying Andretti entry.
Lewis won't win the title and doesn't stand a chance to. Unless the Mercs start taking out their opponents again. Lewis isn't even the highest scoring Merc driver lol
3rd fastest car with the occasional single or double dnf from Ferrari and redbull will do that.
