Can't believe Ham didn't want the number 1, could be he felt guilty about having it b/c of the unfair car advantage maybe and made up the story of having 44 from his karting days.

Yep, Hammy is just a candy a$$ wanting attention.

He is playing the old Madonna trick. No such thing as bad publicity. It keeps you in the spotlight.

But he has been dethroned by a guy in - at last - a competitive car who's 12 years younger than him (still an F1 career of 10-15 years ahead of him) and who set the record of most P1-P2 podiums in a season:

• Lewis Hamilton | 07/01/1985 | 36 yr (almost 37 yr)
  WDC #1 2008 = 23 yr | WDC #2 2014 = 29 yr
  7 P1-P2 podiums (5 victories) in WDC #1 2008
  longevity: likely another 2 seasons (2022 + 2023)
• Max Verstappen | 30/09/1997 | 24 yr
  WDC #1 2021 = 24 yr | WDC #2 ...2027 ?
  18 P1-P2 podiums (10 victories) in WDC #1 2021
  longevity: likely another 10-15 seasons

Not unlikely that Mercedes-AMG will try to sign Verstappen to replace Hamilton for 2024. In a July 2021 interview ex F1-driver Ralf Schumacher explained that he assumes that Mercedes-AMG negotiated with Verstappen to replace Hamilton for 2022. As no deal materialized, Hamilton got signed, later than usual and as second choice, for 2022 and 2023:
"Sport Bild: Ist die Vertragsverlängerung von Hamilton bis 2023 gut oder schlecht für seinen Titelrivalen Verstappen?
Schumacher: „Für mich heißt das vor allem, dass Max bei Mercedes abgesagt hat. Ich glaube, bei Mercedes gab es die Hoffnung, sich mit Max im Cockpit für die Zukunft ganz neu auszurichten. Die ist jetzt gestorben, und dann war Lewis meiner Meinung nach die einzige Alternative. Red Bull hat jetzt mit Max Verstappen eine großartige Zeit vor sich. Bei Mercedes hingegen …“" (here).
If that unconfirmed rumor/assumption would be true, it must have galvanized Hamilton to absolutely beat his nemesis Verstappen in 2021. According to Helmut Marko Verstappen will never drive for Mercedes-AMG after what happened at Silverstone on July 18, 2021 (51G crash + abundant celebration). Jos Verstappen confirmed this month that Max will never drive for Mercedes-AMG as long as Toto Wolff is still in charge. Reason: they won't forgive Wolff's behavior after the Silverstone crash (see here).

Would have been many many more laps led if not for Silverstone Ham hit, baku tyre explode and Hungary Bot concertina hit which Bot says was unavoidable on a wet track clearly seing Norris and the countdown markers for the bend.

Hopefully drama queen Toto will also take a hike in '22.
