Jordan on Hamilton with his teammates: "Lewis Hamilton is not a political person"
Lewis Hamilton broke all sorts of records last season and if he becomes world champion again in 2021, he will leave Michael Schumacher behind in those record books for good. For Eddie Jordan, however, there is another reason why Lewis Hamilton is the best driver of all time.
"For me, without hesitation, Lewis has surpassed those two," Jordan said in the BBC podcast 'This Sporting Life' when comparing Hamilton to Ayrton Senna and Michael Schumacher. This is mainly because, according to Jordan, Hamilton does not care about his teammate, one reason he always liked Alain Prost so much.
“I was the odd one out, up to Lewis Hamilton I always believed Alain Prost was the best. And the reason why I say that is that he never bothered about who his teammate was. He was never political in a sense of 'my teammate has to give way to me ". Things people found annoying about some of the other drivers."
Interesting perspective from Jordan
Jordan is confident Hamilton is not a political person when it comes to his teammate and believes he lets his driving do the talking.
"Lewis Hamilton is not a political person," said Jordan.
"He knows his own ability, he's been brought up well by his dad. So he's extremely well-behaved guy and that's why I think he's the greatest that I've ever seen."
Lewis Hamilton is not a political person...He just whats attention!!!!
Love his complements to Lewis, but he seems to talk one thing one day and the opposite the next ?!!
eddie is not entirely wrong about this. hamilton has not been known to play politics or team-mate games too too much. there are / were of course allegations on both sides in 2007 when he and alonso were going at it but over the course of a career it is alonso who has been tarred more heavily with that brush. there were battles with rosberg but they seemed pretty even in terms of tit for tat. all drivers play the games to a certain extent and prost was no innocent there either, but neither prost nor hamilton seem to have been anywhere near as heavily criticized as say alonso, schumacher or senna.

Another superfluity from Eddie.You cannot compare different things (1960's with 1990's with 2000,etc).
If he doesn’t mind who his team mate is, why is he fighting so hard to include the “Verstappen Clause” in his new contract, ie. Mercedes can’t hire Max to be his team mate.
He would prefer to have his side kick Bottas there instead who offers no resistance at all so that he can continue breaking and setting more records totally unimpeded by his underperforming team mate.
Love it when the haters get riled up. :-). But I do agree, stick to one thing. One day you hate him one day you love him. Not sure Hamilton cares either. He will continue to rise despite what people think of him.
Someone has truly cemented his place in H E L L forever and his name is Eddie Jordan.
At some point are you going to admit your 'Hamilton won't get a contract' Fake News you banged on about for the last 2 months was just another manifestation of your HDS?
