1999: Lewis Hamilton (14) and David Coulthard (28) conclude joint interview about Lewis’ promising potentialities. 21 years later: Coulthard informs Lewis that after his Seventh F1 World Championship title, Silverstone are renaming the pit-straight after him.

Toddler Lewis is so starstruck in that thumbnail. Don’t know grand about DC but he sounds like a cool man. Regularly form and with a sense of humor. Can now not factor in how grand those few words of praise from an F1 driver meant to a baby in karting.

Hr is terribly humble, incessantly down taking half in his F1 profession on the printed and in interviews. Adore purposefully joking about himself. I’d now not explain he is a scrub, his F1 profession is terribly very admirable and authentic especially in his generation of the Schumacher and Hakkinen amongst others. He held his procure thoroughly, yet he incessantly knocks himself down below them.

Favor Coulthard had replied – “No Lewis, it be a straight”

They’re both babies. Dang time flies.

Yeah, why is this 21 FRICKING YEARS AGO?!?! 😭

I used to be stunning about to advise 28 year favorite DC seems to be to be like 50 year favorite DC

Lewis’ declare is exactly the same finally these years.

It took me off-guard for a sec there.

Why conclude I fetch it so angry that Lewis used to be 14 in 1999. I incessantly omit how ‘favorite’ he used to be in 2007, in contrast to a couple of the drivers who debut in this time restrict.

Staunch factor in if McLaren-Mercedes had taken a Crimson Bull methodology – he might maybe per chance like done F3 in 2003, F3000 in 2004 and then started off in the 2005 McLaren-Mercedes as a replacement of Montoya!

Couldn’t happen to a greater man. Successfully deserved.

Coulthard doing a gigantic job in that first clip to now not explain stunning exactly how minute he’s having a survey forward to seeing that baby develop up, because he can already survey what is occurring to happen when he does

At this level Coulthard used to be already in his 2d season of being the permanent runner-up in the attend of Häkkinen.

Goodness, they’re both in fact smartly-spoken in the principal clip.

I’m taking into consideration the Hamilton baby must silent make it to F1… Hope he can get a couple podiums sooner than he retires!
