I've been very quick to blame Lewis where he is definitely to be blamed.
What I can't understand is your need to highlight his mistakes a lot more than the others. It's not just in this thread, but in others where you go off on your personal tangent about how Lewis lost the Championship through his mistakes.
Yes, he could've driven better this year. But how about the fact that he never had the best car to start with, the McLaren and Ferrari were always playing catch up to Redbull. Alonso's jump starts and brain fade in Silverstone lost him a tonne of points too but you don't seem to highlight these errors? Mistakes like this happen when you play catchup and you know you don't possess the best car underneath you. I commend drivers like this who make these blips once in a while (Yes, even Alonso!), as I see them as racers, instead of simply driving around a circuit waiting for rain, pitstops, dinosaurs to eat up the leading cars (no names mentioned)
So yes, Lewis could've done better. But he's done a stellar job anyway, with his only big muckup down in Monza. Singapore was a 50-50 issue as majority readily agree its a racing incident. Or you'd put that down to Lewis' idiocy too? Okay, fine 2 races. Hardly a disaster of a season for the guy.
And sorry, I don't hate Michael. I loved to hate him (as McLaren's competitor) during the Mika-Michael years but saw him as a fearsome competitor with insane speed and consistency. So I don't know this 'little group' you're talking about because I'm no part of it.
Michael could turn in those laps consistently with a car which is class of the field. When he didn't (Benetton) we all know what he did to Damon and Jacques. You could put that down as a mistake maybe? Or is it skill?
It depends on the circumstances you're in. If you're comfortable, you're less prone to taking risks and making mistakes. Michael enjoyed fantastic cars in the early 2000s...Lewis hasn't. He's had cars capable of winning Championships but these cars have never dominated. So comparison right now is unjust. Lewis has been in F1 for 4 years mate. Out of the 4, he's taken the WDC down to the last race in 3. Hardly embarassing.

Breaking News:Lewis Hamilton has officially overtaken The Fonz in race wins. With 88 races less. Lol(Without a specially built blown diffuser, illegal front wing, preferential treatment)
, if anything it was solely the cars fault that lost mclaren titles( it wasnt of course, but you said otherwise wrongly), it practically remained the same all year in terms of upgrades, cause none of them worked, and as a result the mclaren was either the second or third best car, ferrari were worse at the start of the year and better in the second half, im only saying this to be fair and clear, cause what i bolded of your post suggests that the only possibility was driver error for their loss of titles. Oh yeah and if anyone needs a cattle prod its alonsos butler in the sister ferrari, jenson won two races before lewis and came on the podium numerous times, lets not be unfair on mclaren and its driver now shall we, i dont remember anyone on here asking why they lost titlesanyway lol, and only the first sentence of your post relates to the title thread...
