F1 pundit's first impression of Lewis Hamilton

F1 pundit and journalist Peter Windsor shared his initial impression of Lewis Hamilton, reflecting on their first encounter. Windsor witnessed the young driver during his GP2 days, and Hamilton's exceptional talent left an indelible mark during his test in Valencia.

Hamilton, now a seven-time world champion, has become synonymous with remarkable speed and impeccable driving skills. According to Windsor, these qualities were evident in Hamilton even during his GP2 days.

The British journalist vividly recalled observing Hamilton at a GP2 test in Valencia, where he was astounded by the way the Mercedes driver skillfully maneuvered his car through Turn 1, a high-speed corner.

Windsor emphasized that Lewis Hamilton's mastery of the corner surpassed that of all other drivers on the track at the time, making him stand out as a truly exceptional talent.

Speaking about it on his YouTube channel, Windsor said:

"The first time I saw him was at a GP2 test at Valencia - at the start of his GP2 career. And I remember sitting in the grandstands and watching him into Turn 1 at Valencia - which is a pretty quick corner - and he was just wonderful in there. Early turn-ins, soft, compliant. Compared to everybody else, he just stood out a mile."

Ever since then, the Briton has gone on to win seven world championships and has cemented himself as one of the greatest drivers of all time.
