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 !!

Hamilton expected to get pole position ... yawn ....

the debut of Mick Schumacher too at the training session :love:

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
