I’ll be glad when Hamilton retires (sooner rather than later ideally) ..

They need to make changes to get the sport competitive.

It’s ridiculous that one of the best drivers gets to win titles with the best team then changes to another team just as they are set to dominate for the next few years ..

Lewis Hamilton world champion for the 7th time



It’s all so damn tedious ..

If I was Hamilton I’d at least want a challenge before I retired ... even at the age of ten I used to change around sides in footie to even things up .. I hated being on the far better team and it being so easy .. where’s the fun if there’s no challenge .

You don’t see world class runners entering fun runs in the local park !!

They are just saying that they’ve put a new rule in place stopping all teams from spending heavily over Christmas to make necessary improvements - meaning the teams won’t be much different next season giving Hamilton yet another title ..

I’m surprised the other drivers don’t boo and hiss at him as he walks past ..

Oddly I recall noticing last season at Monaco that all the drivers were on one display truck waving at the fans and Hamilton was by himself on the back of an estate car ..

He’d become a real legend if next season he offered to drive for one of the slower teams maybe even swap with one of their young drivers .. just to show he had good character -imagine a young inexperienced driver dominating in Hamilton’s car :)

Stroll would've had a better shot at podium if not for his stupid father (who basically demanded him to make a extra stop for intermediates while he complained and wanted to do no stops anymore)

so Hamilton just got lucky here :rolleyes:

Hamilton becomes kinda boring to watch now


i'd say Lando Norris is much more interesting, he has a lesser car but still some races he's been quite decent (also one of more popular drivers, what i know via live chat, many like him also Racing Point team has a lot of fans, Stroll/Perez)

The only way I’ll start watching again now is if MaxV gets an equally fast car or joins Hamilton as co-driver ..

Lewis Hamilton tests positive for COVID-19 and will miss Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain...


Formula One champion Lewis Hamilton has tested positive for coronavirus and will miss this weekend's Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain.

The British driver's Mercedes team said he had three negative test results last week but woke up on Monday morning with "mild symptoms".

A statement said that Hamilton, 35, was informed at the same time that someone he had been in contact with before his arrival in Bahrain had tested positive.

The Mercedes statement continued: "Lewis is now isolating in accordance with Covid-19 protocols and public health guidelines in Bahrain.

"Apart from mild symptoms, he is otherwise fit and well, and the entire team sends him its very best wishes for a swift recovery."

Mercedes will announce Hamilton's replacement later - their reserve drivers are former F1 pilots Stoffel Vandoorne and Esteban Gutierrez.

Let’s hope Hamilton does the right thing and let the youngster have another drive next race .. apparently the boss of Mercedes says it’s up to Hamilton if he drives or lets George Russell.

Hamilton won’t be 100% even if he keeps getting better each day but they will let Lewis drive if he feels up to it !!

Nope ... predictably Hamilton is back this week ... even though he’s nothing to gain as he’s already won the title !!

He’s only driving to prevent the youngster from winning which would prove that just about anyone could win the title in Mercedes car

Tbf the champion of the season should be racing if he is well enough to do it.

And tbf we can't go pretending that Ferrari and Red Bull don't have cars that can't compete with Mercedes, Hamilton is just the best driver at the moment.

Are you serious ?

Even after the young lad who’d never driven the car before last Thursday, who was too large for Hamilton’s car and had to wear driving shoes two sizes too small to even get into it , who part-way through the race had to ask what one of the buttons on the steering wheel was for ... was romping ahead of the pack until the team scuppered his race !!

I’m actually gutted for George Russell .

After last week’s disappointment and given it was the team who scuppered his race I fully expected the team boss to do the right thing and give him another try .
It could be his only chance of winning an F1 race .. even if he eventually gets a ride .


Hamilton is also to blame as well .
He’s won the damn title after all .

I’m pretty some of the other drivers will have a word with him .. he’s despised by many of them apparently
