💬 “No, it was different, it was different because this one wasn't manipulated by anybody...' Lewis Hamilton was asked to compare the 2021 and 2008 F1 title finales ⬇️
During a feature with Sky Sports, Hamilton was shown footage of his first title win at the 2008 Brazilian Grand Prix alongside former Toyota driver, Timo Glock - who is also a pundit for Sky in Germany.
His main rival - Felipe Massa - had won the race and was on course to win the title for approximately 30 seconds until Hamilton overtook Glock, who was struggling on his dry tyres as the rain fell. “There are similarities in kind of the pain of losing in 2007. For the last 17 seconds losing that championship or the last three laps, I'd lost it basically. And then coming across the line for another 17 seconds or whatever it was beyond, still having lost the championship.
Reflecting further on 2008, Hamilton praised Massa for how he reacted to losing the title on the podium.
