    If it was solely down to the car, how come none of his team mates over the years have come anywhere close to matching his achievements? As Al mentions - Hamilton lapped his team mate yesterday who was also driving the same car. Nothing to do with ability?

    He could live in lots of more beautiful places than Monaco. But they don't have the tax advantages Monaco does.
    Not as many retiring to Brid now. They all want to experience the beautiful Hull coast.

    Pretty sure Hamilton pays tax as a UK employee and is actually in the top few percent of tax payers.

    I'm not a fan of F1 but there is something sinister about the hate Lewis Hamilton gets.

    So what if he lives abroad? If that was any of your mates you'd be happy for them that they are able to live abroad.

    I've never said it's just the car have I? I'll say it for a third tine for you....he's obviously a good driver BUT would he have won the amount has if he raced for haas for example? I think we both know the answer

    And as others have said, he just makes himself so unlikable.

    One man's meat is another man's poison.....It's not racist to have an opinion,or is it?,(I'm beginning to think it might be)?

    For every person that likes Lewis Hamilton,there's another that doesn't? I'm not keen on him,not knocking his achievements,not racist,not jealous,couldn't care where he lives,not particularly fond of F1 nowadays!! It does concern me ever so slightly that a man earning in excess of £50 million per annum can wear a chain round his neck in condemnation of slavery,yet would take the coin by endorsing Hugo Boss product?(Hugo Boss who designed the Nazi party uniform)?

    Not to mention mercs links to the Nazi party and use of slaves.... As I said before he's a hypocrite and is fine with certain things as long as he's being paid millions

    Does he take money from any companies that currently use slaves or make Nazi uniforms? Why, instead of siding with him in condemning slavery, are we trying to find issue with a man who condemns slavery? Bizarre.

    Those people saying it’s the car! The reason the car is so good is because Hamilton has spent thousands of hours test driving it and requesting changes to suspension set ups etc. Makes his achievements even greater in my opinion. I’m sure if he wasn’t 35 and had time on his side, you would see the same results happening at another team.

    Hamilton will suffer from the same issues that all the great drivers do, the accusation that without the car he/they had that the wins and titles wouldn't be there. Whether you see this as right or wrong, this challenge will never go away for any of the F1 greats and unless there comes a time where F1 cars are on a level playing field it'll never be any different.

    Quite worrying some seem to be inferring it’s because of Hamilton’s colour he’s not liked. I don’t like him cos he comes across as an arrogant prick. Maybe he’s lovely in real life. MaYbe he needs to put on that persona to keep him at it and keep his hunger?
    reminds me of Faldo a little, not liked but respected as a great champion. Piggott quite similar.
    Ferguson is another **** I can’t stand because of the way he behaved, great manager all the same. But a right **** in my eyes. Mourinho too.

    They did. And I think that was wrong. Maybe why he hasn't got a knighthood. Though tax avoiding Sean Connery and Mick Jagger did, and I don't think they should have done either.
