One of the most famous stand-up comedians in the United States, Bill Burr, caught the attention of several F1 fans on Monday thanks to his weekly podcast. And of course it was about Lewis Hamilton after he failed to win the race at the Styrian Grand Prix.

The American reignited speculation about Hamilton’s success in F1 when he saw the Briton as one of the greatest F1 drivers with the help of a dominant Mercedes.
In addition, Bill also believed that seven times the world would have been beaten by others had he owned a moderately slower car.

Lewis Hamilton drives for Mercedes: Bill
The 53-year-old made strong claims that without Mercedes, the Brit would not be in this position while appearing on his personal podcast show.
“He drives for Mercedes,” said Bill while starring on the “Bill’s Monday Morning Podcast” episode. “I’m not saying he’s not the best driver, okay? But there are a lot of drivers who hit his ass every fucking week if he hadn’t driven a damn Mercedes and had another damn car, okay? “

Hamilton holds a staggering six championship titles with Mercedes, with his reign in Formula 1 in 2014 when the sport heralded the arrival of the hybrid era. After almost eight years, thanks to Verstappen, the Briton is finally under immense pressure and prone to further mistakes.
Shut up about Hamilton: Bill
The American was particularly disappointed that F1 commentators were focusing more on Hamilton’s fastest lap point than on Verstappen, who won his fourth race of the season.
“Max Verstappen won the race. Shut up about that goddamn son of a bitch who gets a goddamn point, ”Bill said. “And I shouldn’t even be mad at him for not doing it. So, my apologies to Lewis Hamilton. I shouldn’t have said that. “

Overall, more Red Bull threats devour Hamilton with each weekend, and the scenario in which he beats Michael Schumacher’s 7-title record seems a bit too far-fetched.
So, in the midst of the hatred for Hamilton, will he find a way to prove himself over the coming race weekends?
