Helmut Marko tried to take credit away from Niki Lauda regarding the Lewis Hamilton army and the LH army blew Marko away. The LH army is back once again as a Former F1 driver tries slandering Lewis Hamilton during these difficult times and trash talks about him. Nevertheless, his comments backfired as fans gave him a taste of his own medicine. Let’s see how the fans reacted and defended Lewis Hamilton.
Ralf Schumacher has always lived in the shadow of his elder brother, Michael Schumacher. Just like Mick Schumacher, Ralf had the pressure of bringing justice to his last name. After being rejected by multiple teams towards the end of his career in the late 2000s, Ralf finally decided to hang up his helmet after 4 years in DTM.
"Lewis is currently going to be extremely seething. He's not used to not winning. He wants attention, you can always see that in his outfits." – says Ralf Schumacher, clearly exerting extreme craving for attention himself by constantly putting out headline grabbing comments. #F1 pic.twitter.com/9rUqZzeUG0

The younger Schumacher brother recently made comments about Lewis Hamilton and his dressing sense. Lewis Hamilton and Mercedes have been going through a bad phase ever since the Briton was robbed of the championship in 2021. The team was not able to capitalize on the change in regulations and fell backward. Hamilton has been criticizing Mercedes’ inability to manufacture a competitive car.
Ralf Schumacher took a jab at Lewis Hamilton, suggesting how he is not used to not winning. 2022 was the first winless year in Hamilton’s F1 career. Since the 38-year-old isn’t winning, Ralf suggested that Lewis has been dressing differently in the paddock in an attempt to grab attention and headlines.
However, Lewis has been dressing in an outlandish way for a very long time, long before he stopped winning. Schumacher’s comments backfired on him as the F1 fans took to social media to slander the less successful Schumacher brother. Let’s see what they had to say.

Ralf made a life of living under someone else’s shadow. Why change a habit of a lifetime.

Tell us Ralf how does it feel winning 7 titles?? Oh I forgot…that was the other Schumacher! You were the failure… 😂🤡🤡🤡

Some suggested that Ralf is trying to be important in a sport in which he never meant anything while others suggested that he’s trying to make himself relevant as whenever the name Schumacher comes up, he’s not the one people think about.
We understand, Ralf Schumacher has to make himself relevant because when the Schumacher name comes up in F1 circles we can only think Michael and Mick. So attatching his opinions to Lewis' name gives him his much needed 5 minutes of attention

Ralf trying to be important in a sport he never ment something 🤣

Some people know fashion and aren’t extremely insecure, unlike like you, Ralf.

He’s been wearing those outfits for years. Well before he stopped winning. No matter what he does the media will give him attention just like Ralf is doing here. Ironic that he’s talking about Lewis wanting attention when the only reason he’s talking about Lewis is for attention.

Then there were those who called Ralf Schumacher boring and insecure as he could never pull something off as Lewis Hamilton does. Whether Hamilton gets back to winning ways or not is yet to be seen. However, we can be sure that he will keep rocking those amazing outfits, respectively.
