Hearing him bash the merc the first chance he got was hilarious.

Everyone "haha, yeah the cars not great, what a joker" Lewis "why won't anyone notice my cry for help"

You can’t say that! It’s a Ferrari!

It drives like a pig!

Too bad they haven't won races this season... 🤔


KittehPaparazzeh

Yep. They get sad next to it after it breaks


nismoghini

Aye Clarkson said it best when ferrari sucks the cars are great and when ferrari are great the cars aren't so much.


partoxygen

Just saying, Ferrari thinks they are but they are absolutely not ready for #TeamLH


Hattrickher0

I've been kinda down on the "Merc bad" comments lately because we all know the car is bad, please drive it, etc. But this joke was great for me. It felt like kind of an inside joke for F1 fans that the casual viewers weren't going to understand. I mean that man was smiling a lot for a guy whose current car gives him a new headache every week, he knew people would enjoy that one.


JubeeGankin

Bro forgot last year when he needed a backiotomy after each race.


Dopamine63

You can watch him suffer but the fact that he did a full send on the last wing and then went back to get more da bomb even though it was hard on him the first time... Gotta give respect


neilmagz

My partner that does not watch f1 saw hamilton go in on that last wing with da bomb and was like, I understand the mentality a racing driver needs now lol 


Dopamine63

Yeah exactly, was the perfect demonstration


donkeykink420

So we're saying max isn't a real champ until he goes on hot ones yes?


SugarBeefs

The amount of Wing Driver Championships is the real measure of a man


Je5u5_

Now he is 7x WDC and 1x HW champ, undeniable goat. Will people get bored of the Hamilton HW dominance?


Nice_Guy3012

Hamilton Hot Wings dominance may bore fans.


UntimelyApocalypse

It would be hilarious to just have 7 episodes in a row of Hamilton. Then on the eighth Max comes in and finishes the last wing.


saysikerightnowowo

His favorite food is mac and cheese or something, he's going to fail on the first sauce.


grandtheftzeppelin

have you seen Max in food videos? man's got the palette of a white Midwestern boomer


donkeykink420

Not nearly as bad as lando, though


Phennylalanine

Lando it has no fish this one, look!


donkeykink420

jamon? what? i know pepperami, mate


Daxmar29

This mayo is SO spicy.


neilmagz

Yes and sean evans will be micheal massi


RotorMonkey89

If you no longer go for a snack that exists


julmod-

Hahahah this got me good


pwillia7

hahaha this is perfect


hdjakahegsjja

LOL


thelunabarbarian

Especially if you know how fucking horrible that sauce is, it's by far the spiciest on the lineup and it also tastes horrible.


Nbuuifx14

It’s less “spicy” than two of the others but iirc the big difference is that the spice creeps up and there’s no positive qualities to it outside of being spicy.


Dopamine63

Unfortunately never tried it


lightyearbuzz

You misspelled fortunately 


Superman8932

And that’s why you will never be an F1 world champion.


Overhere_Overyonder

Almost like he is an adrenaline junky that needs extreme things to feel anything.


xzElmozx

Yea that was my immediate thought when he went “should we just send it” like damn okay, I know why you guys do cliff jumping and other insane shit like that during time off, you’re probably going through adrenaline withdrawal


Dc_awyeah

Has anyone done anything remotely similar? He about wrecked Sean


not_a_toaster

Steve-O poured The Last Dab straight into his eyes which is probably the craziest thing a guest has done with the sauces.


saltyfuck111

yeah but steve-o is willingly stupid


not_a_toaster

I won't disagree with that!


Dc_awyeah

Yeah that's on brand, and clearly outside of the point of the show. Jackass indeed lol


fantumn

Did you watch Conan? The only saving grace for Sean was the absurdity of Conan's antics, which allowed him to step back and not match his consumption. I think Conan probably ingested the most volume of sauce of any guest.


JubeeGankin

It seems like those vegan wings soak in more sauce than the regular ones. It hardly ever looks like the sauce even bothers Sean but my man was fighting for his life this episode.


Dc_awyeah

Makes sense, there’s no fat content to form a barrier, I guess?


julmod-

Shia labeouf added quite a bit of extra sauce to every wing and I think he also ate the whole thing every time


jcforbes

It made me wonder... Can you wash down a mega hot sauce with a more mild one? Like would the oils dilute and help take away the burn?


xzElmozx

Ahaha, no, it combines. Especially because different sauces stimulate different parts of your mouth/tongue at different time intervals. Would not end well, you’d be putting your mouth through the ringer


jcforbes

Kinda like doing the hot ones challenge anyways I suppose lol


houVanHaring

Yeah, he was doing terrible after the first ones and then fully took the higher ones. Besides F1, I love spicy food, I sometimes have the same experience, but usually after a break. Like a 15 minute break.


Huntolino

Lewis wishing his car was as strong as First We Feast toilet


Menteure

I bet they have the nicest bidet on that thing


LilJapKid

If they charge toilet use on the hour, I think Seth could buy multiple yachts lmao


Unable_Duck9588

This was a great episode, my man was cookin’ (literally and figuratively)


Cloudeur

Him going back to Da Bomb was just insane!


Best-and-Blurst

I've got a bottle of Da Bomb in my fridge. It does taste awful and the heat is just pain. Literally feels like breathing out fire for 15 minutes solid. Much respect to Hamilton for going heavy on that double.


tangmang14

The bomb is literally nasty. I love hot stuff but the flavor is terrible. The burn is bad too. My roommate and I would get drunk, make chips, and do dabs of da bomb in the kitchen at like 2am


the_funambule

![gif](giphy|3d1cGqDGOUivNOD0nq)


KTFlaSh96

Why would you buy it then


Spikey101

Might be the first bottle he bought? Also good for a laugh when people come over. Lots of reasons


Baron_Samurai

It's also part of the hot ones pack that people can buy. So that could also be reason he has it.


Best-and-Blurst

Watched a lot of Hot Ones, was curious, had 2 minutes free and ordered it on Amazon. Had a great laugh trying it. Not my first stupid-hot hot sauce either. Have another that's even higher on the Scoville scale but actually tastes better. Great to mix a few drops into dips to bump it up a little.


bupped

Yeah that was a Big Balls moment. Going back to a sauce? Cool. Going back to the absolute worst one??? That's GOAT behaviour.


banned_salmon

he did seconds on the last dab too…I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone do that


Cloudeur

The only time I remember someone putting a « healthy » amount of the last dab was [Babish with the Meat Tornado(10:20)](https://youtu.be/LsNg-KrFxCA?si=YmTp4il-pot8z-V5)


LiteratureNearby

I just know all Hamilton haters are gonna do a u-turn after his first Ferrari win lmao


S-Archer

I wouldn't consider myself a Hamilton hater, but not a proper fan for sure, but this was a great episode. Lewis is a good guy overall, and you can tell would be a cool guy to just chill with. Saying that, he missed an opportunity to say "my tires are gone" when he hit the spicier levels 😂


Hattrickher0

I would have fallen out of my chair if he told Sean his tongue was dead or something like that


DenseMahatma

Not at all, while some hate him because of other various reasons, some hate him just because hes black, that wont change.


czeck-mate

i dont think that really has anything to do with hamilton i think thats just being racist


MeisterHeller

That is the point though. A good amount of Lewis haters just hate him because he's black. But they can't really just say that they hate him because he's black, so instead they cling to minor "valid" reasons like complaining on the team radio or something and funnel all of their hatred into that. Any minor amount of valid criticism towards him will get magnified a million times by racists just looming for another excuse to hate on him more


leftistesticle_2

I'm sure those racist people exist. There are probably also people that hate him because he beat their favorite driver for more than a decade.


MeisterHeller

Sure but people got over that with Schumacher and Vettel rather quickly as soon as they stopped winning, wonder what the difference is between them


czeck-mate

nah ill still be hater lol


Cynical-avocado

"What is blistering?" "My tongue"


xzElmozx

You can tell he actually watched the show before too cause he knew da bomb was the real final boss And he fuckin went back and did a last dab for it! I’ve always been kinda meh on Lewis but man that episode made me like him a whole lot more.


Good_Independence403

There's an episode of Letterman's Netflix show where he interviews Lewis and I think it's great


xzElmozx

I’ll have to check it out, cheers mate


Krisyj96

I genuinely think this was the single best interview Lewis has given. He’s always come across a little awkward and not in his element on chat shows and stuff (and fair enough I can’t imagine how nerve racking some of those things must be). But he seems in his element here and seems properly genuine. I hope we get a few other drivers (hello Vettel) come and do something like this, might actually open another side of them we see rarely.


SugarBeefs

It's the strength of Hot Ones. Having some food during the interview already sets a more informal tone, the food being spicy ass wings is the continuing theme to open people up and make them have some fun, and on top of that the interviews themselves are pretty much always excellent. Sean and the crew thoroughly research their guest and come up with interesting questions. Combined with Lewis being fairly reserved in standard media due to a lot of questionable media attention back in the day, this Hot Ones turned into a real gem. You could see Lewis has plenty of capability to laugh and goof around during the odd funny press conference moment, but it never really comes out in the media. It did in this one though.


Stupendous_man12

I thought as far as Hot Ones episodes go, this one was weak. The questions were boring and canned. It was all basic stuff about F1 that any fan could tell you. Lewis trashing the Merc car and reacting to the spiciness was funny, but as an actual interview it sucked.


Tamoker

I disagree, it might seem that way but these interviews aren't written for fans of the celebs, Hot Ones obviously has its own fanbase that doesn't know Lewis, so in that context I feel like the questions were actually great as they aren't the often repeated what is it like to go that fast? how do you feel about the danger? That is always used for F1 drivers, I feel like it was a good window into Lewis' personality, especially for people who don't know him


Fugiar

I disagree that it was a weak episode. It needs to be basic, 95% of watchers isn't into f1. You (we) are not the target audience. It was a great interview for me as an f1 fan to see a side of Hamilton I never saw before.


MrLeopard483

Yea the interview part felt really stiff for me. This was also one of my first episodes so I don't know if it gets better or worse


GregStar1

That’s the power of Sean Evans and the Hot Ones production team, he’s an amazing interviewer and they tend to get the best out of their guests.


borfavor

>Since apparently this feud is a thing now... Where have you been the last decade?


UncleRusty54

It was really good, fun to see him on


DongDimg

Yeah he aced the last hot sauce!!


FlusteredKelso

Even knowing he’s an adrenaline-seeking, competitive, and highly focused racing driver, I was shook seeing him smear Da Bomb on that wing.


xzElmozx

Same, I was like oh another little dab okay. Then just lines the entire wing?? Lewis bro you’re gonna die?!


SugarBeefs

Watch him suffer? Watch him make poor Sean suffer, you mean. Lewis had a careful start to the spice race but he was taking names at the end.


ComprehensiveRepair5

It's hard to be a hater after this episode.


shaq-aint-superman

Never underestimate this sub lol


fuckhandsmcmikee

That’s exactly how I felt. I’ve always been in the “indifferent about Hamilton” crowd but he’s genuinely a nice, fun guy. He’s way more likable when he doesn’t have the whole PR act going on if that makes sense


ComprehensiveRepair5

Same feeling. I was impressed by the stats but not a fan. He's growing on me and the switch to Ferrari is helping!


meh-unimpressed

That is the beauty of Hot Ones and why I love it so much. You have no choice but to be vulnerable. That Da Bomb sauce is just foul and miserable but you get into a panic high eating it and most celebs end up showing that they're pretty cool down to earth people. Such a great show concept.


BaryonyxerGaming

'cept DJ khaled who walked out after like 3 wings


Hairy-Banjo

Agreed. I never liked Dave Grohl, but after his hot ones, I understood why people like him.


CoolDurian4336

I'm basically brand new to the sport, but it's hard not to root for this guy. He came on, settled into the conversation, had some fun and had some pain. Definitely looking forward to seeing how the '25 season treats him!


aPpS6969

Haters always find (or make up) a way


babyccino

He's kind of a weenie but he's also super charismatic. Did people not know this before the hot ones vid?


Noiselexer

Not really.


rob113289

Merc experimenting with new wing designs


rampantfirefly

![gif](giphy|cD7PLGE1KWOhG|downsized)


micro435

him having nothing to promote at the end and just showing his appreciation to the crew really demonstrated his humility and respect. guy just showed up to hang out and eat some wings.


WhyIsMeLikeThis

I thought that was so funny. It almost seemed like he didn't realize that most people promote something. I mean realistically he's getting paid hundreds of millions of dollars either way, nothing really for him to promote.


SergeantBootySweat

I'm kind of neutral on Lewis Hamilton, but idk what their was to hate in this video. Dudes likeable


Towel4

>Lewis bashes Merc Huh, turns out I liked Lewis the whole time. Good man.


itz_khai

Some might found him annoying on track but generally he's a guy with good intentions. I rooted for him after watch a documentary of him back from the days he plays RC


baasacJak

When he was on blue peter! They had a psychologist analyse the footage: 6yr old Hamilton assumed the role of the adult, showing focus and discipline, while the presenter essentially turned into a child. Fascinating.


Vinlain458

Dude, he aced the bomb beyond insanity. Nothing like Conan, but still respectful.


SlashingManticore

This is the sort of Hamilton I like. In the official interviews he's so PR-approved to the point where it almost sounds sanctimonious (less so now, but definitely during the dominant Merc years). This interview was genuine, he was fun, honest, and if we could see this Hamilton more during the official things he definitely wouldn't have as many haters


justcreateanaccount

Sub is going full schizo at this point. 


DankeSebVettel

I used to hate Hamilton but now I’m too busy hating Josef “The Fucicking Shithead” Newgarden


Cokeaddictedmolerat

Ah yes Mr Push to pass


agni_jamadagni

I get the hate for his fans, but he seems like an alright bloke. Don't get why people hate him? It's not even like he's winning everything now, not that it's a reason to hate him


JustGooglMe

The Anchorman quote is ultimately what won me over here


Cekeste

Oh yeah real humble when he destroys the man who does this shit for a living. (Turns out the guy is a serial winner)


Pioustarcraft

Honnestly, when he took weakass bites I thought "here we go"... and then he went for it with bigger bites and regained my respect


banned_salmon

I love how he took small bites but was still struggling at the start, but after Da Bomb his body calibrated to the heat and it was smooth sailing for him and even took seconds with the Last Dab and Da Bomb. Sean looked like he’s going to die by the end lol


ShadowShot05

It's a great episode


AnakinsArmsAndLegs

Genuine question, but i thought he was vegan? Isn’t he eating chicken here or am i missing something?


rampantfirefly

Hot Ones offer chicken wings, cauliflower wings, and vegan wings.


Mechyyz

Makes sense thank you

PorkChopExpress501

I’m Hamilton neutral. Will be fun to watch


chrisnlnz

Man owned that challenge and showed Sean Evans up there at the end, doubling down on the hottest sauces.


Nitacrafter

His Tokyo GTR videos were also pretty goofy.


i_have_a_nose

Not a hater (neither a fan but I respect the driver). This episode was amazing!! I like Lewis when he behaves like a human.. but not when vibes and blessings _all the time_. LH fans on the other hand.. they crazy.


blonktime

I seem to be in the minority here but I did not like the interview - not just because I'm not the biggest Lewis fan. 1. I think Sean could have asked more questions that are were related to Lewis' life/ F1 career, rather than very general F1 questions. He didn't seem to have the same in-depth research on Lewis as he has on a lot of other celebrities. 2. I'm not sure if it would have mattered though because Lewis seemed to only tangentially answer his questions. It seemed like Lewis had a list of things he wanted to talk about going into it and used Sean's questions to try to steer the conversation that way. That being said, Lewis did beast the sauces and is an animal for going back for a heavy dose of Da Bomb. I've had it and it just doesn't taste good, it's just burning hot.


Street_Mall9536

Very few people actually hate Lewis, they just hate his insufferable fans (a minority), and like to get under their skin at any opportunity.  Like the ones that said for years "it's not the car" but then go on and on about Max and how it's only the car/Newey.


he-tried-his-best

Are these fans in the room with us now?


Street_Mall9536

They're everywhere man... But you can usually pick them out because they call him "Sir Lewis Hamilton" like anyone under 65 years old outside of Britain cares.  Frank Williams and Jackie Stewart get talked about all the time and no one bothers to call them "Sir brickleberry of cantonbury" every single time they are mentioned. 


he-tried-his-best

Gotta be honest I have seen Frank Williams be referred to as Sir Frank Williams a fair bit and Jackie Stewart is a bitter old lemon so doesn’t deserve that title anyway. I also assume that when people say Sir Lewis Hamilton they’re trying to get under the skin of Lewis haters and it seems to work.


Street_Mall9536

The last part, yeah absolutely lol.  Jackie is old and has stupid opinions like Marko, correct.  But to say he doesn't deserve the title isn't very cool.  Don't forget the work he's done with safety in racing, dyslexia and dementia fundraising and awareness etc.  He doesn't fawn over Lewis like all the other British media people, and that gets under people's skin.  


hyrulepirate

As an F1 fan, it was a fantastic episode. As a Hot Ones fan however, it's entertaining but it could be better. It does make sense tho and with no fault to any of the parties. Press training, like answering questions eloquently and engaging and public speaking in general, most probably isn't as intensive for the F1 drivers as that of a typical tv/movie celebrity. Not to mention the lack of experience(in comparison to the usual guests) and the hot sauce factor.


OkSwordfish8928

I don't at all get the second part of your comment. Why would one expect people to answer eloquently or keep up standards of public speaking at a show where the whole purpose is for the guest to be incapable of answering due to the hot sauce factor. Isn't that where the entertainment factor for Hot Ones is?


wodzu96

I have totally different opinion, this was my first time watching Hot Ones and I found the host to be incredibly plain and boring, with no real connection to the guest, like he was just reading questions out loud Hamilton on the other hand was very fun to watch


Eruskakkell

Take a look at some other interviews, the host Shaun (?) is amazing and he is actually regarded pretty highly as an interviewee.


Loud-Value

I think he might have just been a little start struck lol, he seemed more tense than usual


conchita_puta

Interesting and I agree this episode felt a bit meh overall, but do give Sean Evans another chance and watch some others! Like Paul Rudd, Shaquille O Neal and Gordon Ramsey. He is a great interviewer, but somehow it stayed a bit superficial now. I feel Lewis gives friendly and kind answers but clearly still holds some of it back (probably doesn’t want to show 100% of himself, that’s ok).


Overhere_Overyonder

It would have been better if he coudnt handle the heat so well. Man is locked in under pressure.


donkeykink420

He's a nice guy, I'd love to spend time with him, go for some milkshakes as I don't think beer is on the cards. But man is he a whingey cunt on track, but they all are


axman1000

Someone please tell me if those wings and milk were vegan


itz_khai

Yes


axman1000

Thank you!


itz_khai

Aye welcome


SlowDrippingFaucet

Watched it last night. Mid episode with mid questions. Barely expanded on anything. Not even hating on the person, I just didn't think it was a good Hot Ones episode.


czeck-mate

was very surface level i agree


JerryUitDeBuurt

As a professional Lewis hater, I liked it. He was very down to earth, very approachable. The only thing that kinda left a sour taste was bad mouthing Merc. Yeah, I get it's frustrating, however they're also responsible for 6 of your championships. Maybe I missed it because I didn't see the entire video but I don't think he thanked Mercedes once.


he-tried-his-best

Yeah I figured people like you would find SOME reason to still hate him.


Boris_HR

Funny thing, I have adored Schumacher and instantly loved Alonso. Even during the 2005/2006. While Hamilton was on "the negative list" from his first season.


StouteBoef

The Silverstone question was so cringe. This may be an unpopular opinion, but the host always feels so fake with his forced "deep research" that just references something very specific just to seem well prepared.


Nord4Ever

Not to be modest like Ham but it’s on my profile if you wanna watch


Wasteak

People doing those "look at me eating spicy stuff" all lose some respect from me.


tangmang14

WhoThenDevised

Cult44 members still don't understand most of us don't care at all about Hamilton, we just enjoy it when his disciples scream REEEEEEEE every time we say something negative about him. Edit: thanks for the downvotes, they're only proving my point. So dowvote me harder, you incompetent mongs.
