Shut up, shut up, SHUT UP!
Did you know about the Merseyside Derby later on?At least he got half a dozen (not so) veiled references to the football later.
(And yes Crofty, you can pause to take a breath occasionally)
They've been running different setups at pretty much every race, they're still trying to understand the car. HAM just didn't have any straight line speed.Why is Wolff apologizing to Hamilton for giving him a car that is apparently quite capable of finishing P4?
Perez did OK but he was still nowhere near VER, I don't think we can rely on those two to provide some close racing the same as we've seen from Merc drivers the last few years. We need both Red Bulls and both Ferrari's at the front if want action.Verstappen dominated the weekend. Wasn’t thinking RB had it’s stuff in order. Perez also with a solid performance shows their ability now. Looks promising for the rest of the season. I hope Max can have more of these weekends.
Again not defending HAM, he had a nothing race, but his car is not identical to Russell's in terms of setup so you can't discount him purely on the pace of RUS.Also loved to see Hamilton in P14, having his best performance until now, as he claimed pre-season…
On a serious note, completely dominated by Russel, who shows that the car isn’t as bad as Hamilton shows.
Probably feeding the speculation of Hamilton retirement soon.
I suspect George is doing the same on his side of the garage, but he’s also been driving **** boxes for 3 years so I think that kind of experience is helping his situation.They've been running different setups at pretty much every race, they're still trying to understand the car. HAM just didn't have any straight line speed.
Also don't forget they were locked into their setups for today after just one practice session instead of the usual two sessions and overnight Friday.
Yeah, nah. Only Hamilton nay-sayers get high off such copium.Probably feeding the speculation of Hamilton retirement soon.
The seven-times champion insisted he has no intention of leaving the team before his current contract expires at the end of last season.
I know right.Why is Wolff apologizing to Hamilton for giving him a car that is apparently quite capable of finishing P4?
Missed out. So it already started…Yeah, nah. Only Hamilton nay-sayers get high off such copium.
Hamilton slates 'silly, nonsense comments' suggesting he may leave Mercedes
Lewis Hamilton emphatically rejected "comments from certain individuals" trying to "get headlines" by saying he may leave his Mercedes team.www.racefans.net
But wasn't George still stuck on a wet front end setup because they didn't get the wing changes in when they stopped for slicks? If so that makes where he finished even a greater accomplishment. Now I was dozing off at times mid race and didn't catch if they were able to eventually change it.Again not defending HAM, he had a nothing race, but his car is not identical to Russell's in terms of setup so you can't discount him purely on the pace of RUS.
I nominate Silverstone 2009: started 19th, finished 16th; at Silverstone.Quite possibly Lewis Hamilton's worse performance of his career.
He's had plenty of incidents, bad luck, accidents etc., but this weekend was just a big fat nothing burger, 14th on merit and couldn't even get past an Alpha Tauri.
Seeing Russell (and Bottas!) do so much better this weekend will be hard on Lewis, and will no doubt only make the situation at Mercedes even worse.
People spitting out takes just to make a misleading headline?Missed out. So it already started…
Yes but as the comment above yours notes the result was mostly down to early movement on Lap 1, it's not like George was cutting through the field all race, he wasn't. Nobody was, because overtaking at this circuit remains very hard.But wasn't George still stuck on a wet front end setup because they didn't get the wing changes in when they stopped for slicks?

I would argue under the old regulations, Hamilton wouldn't even been able to get close to Gasly, let alone be right at his gearbox six billion times. Then again, we also saw that while DRS is probably too strong, it is still a very much needed component. Still want to know why they waited far too long to activate.The new regs were supposed to make the racing better, but the top story from this race is the guy who came 13th
Indeed. It was never great for racing in the past, it still isn't. We've got it until at least 2025 now.Oh, and the most important thing. While it was nice to see F1 back at Imola as a novelty, easily a track I'm not looking forward anymore.
Had to look that up. Malaysia 2016, wowHow tf was that Red Bull's first 1-2 finish in SIX YEARS???
Piss-poor Renault engines and Mercedes existing will do that to you.Had to look that up. Malaysia 2016, wow
So somehow Max and Daniel only got a single 1-2 in their nearly 3 years as team mates, while both had their fair share of wins
The way I see it: there is a set back, the athlete involved is older and then headlines about retirement start.People spitting out takes just to make a misleading headline?
