Hamilton is a driver whose talent level is way higher than Verstappen. And I don't think that some other driver will be able to break the records that Hamilton did for a long time period. The only reason why people support Verstappen who is an arrogant driver is that Hamilton has been dominating F1 for a long time and people just want a change.
I agree with you, because everything starts to get boring and tedious when we don't see anything else changing.
Even for Hammilton, we know he was frustrated with the loss that was somehow unfair (not guilty but unfair), but wasn't that more thrilling?
One more challenge for next season where he will get in a car and think: "I'm not invincible anymore, I need to run even better instead of starting to settle down and thinking I'll easily receive my trophy."
yeah Hamilton is a very experienced driver and experience is not enough to win you 7 WC so he definitely have talents as we all saw that in his first year he was very close on winning his first WC if he didn't have Alonso as teammate he would have won cause both drivers were aiming for the championship but Kimi won it by one point at the end.
So that's something that clearly makes you think that Hamilton is considered the best out there its true Mercedes dominance helped with his records bur still car will not drive by itself.
