Formula 1...

Frame those 91 victories how you want. We all know it’s not quite the same.

It’s a great achievement nonetheless, well done LW.

 

I didn’t see the post race interview, who did Lewis blame for the win?

I had no time for interviews. Had to get onto Eurosport to see the end of the cycling. :-)

 

I’m just excited to see what tattoo Ricardo now plants on his Renault boss. Should be a laugh.

He was talking RB up and how “fast” they are and how “difficult” It was And how difficult the rest of the season is going to be ( even though he is 70 points clear now lol)

...You know, the usual ‘triumph over adversity“ narrative.

Also...how “proud” he was of his lapdog (bottas v7.98b) for giving him a go in the first turn.

...and them some more lies about not knowing about the record until he crossed the checkered flag.

 

Gawd.

On a different note.

I’m thinking this weekend was the straw that broke the red bull’s back for Albon. What an utter waste. That comment he made when Gasly was racing him hard for position...sonething along the lines of “ they are always racing me this hard”, like s little baby.

He soon after got retired by his team...with some bs story about power unit issues...but Albon was nowhere to be found during post race interviews etc. I think ge’s gotten his first and second warnings today imo. Hulkenburg can pitch up for quali off his couch and score points. Albon is driving the second best car on the grid and is 7th in the WDC, a second a lap off max and he would have been lapped today. A joke.

 

Max’s WDC points are basically Redbulls WCC points....he is carrying the team on his own.

 

RB need to stop being stubborn and get perez or hulk in that second car. They will make perfect nr2’s. They cant fight 2 mercedes with one car.

Also....go Dani Ric! Super happy for him and Renault for finally making the breakthrough.

this sums it up so well for me 

 

 

last year really grinded me when they were destorying everyone for the first 7 races and each time a mic is in front of them they complain about how fast the ferrari's are

Yup, i would literally LOL every time he said ferrari was the fastest car last year and that merc were second best. That is his and Toto’s game. Always downplaying. Sure ferrari had some speed in a straight line, but they were not even close to the best package overall. I have a feeling that deep down he knows that even though he is racking up records and wins and championships (Which i guess he deserves, he’s there and someone has to) ...he sees how they might be construed as a bit empty due to the lack of competition...why he feels the need to always talk the competition up so it sounds like he had to work super hard.

 

So annoying.

It all really makes me hope that Seb has A resurgence at Aston 

 

he's 2nd to hamilton on so many records and 3rd is centuries away and is also usually drivers that are retired anyway.

 

 

Maybe Seb has 2 more wc runs in him but everything would have to fall into place perfectly , and I'll keep hoping until he says he's retiring 

[Patchelicious]

Was a pretty moving moment and speech, but yeah that last little bit was perhaps a little weird.

Cannot wait for Mclaren to have a merc power unit, Lando would have gotten some good points!

One do not get lucky 91 times, hard work and having a target on your back as the most consistent racer is a tough ask. His longevity is impressive. Remarkable achievement by Lewis Hamilton.

 

The helmet ceremony - wow. What an honour.

Not sure anybody said he got lucky 91 times.

 

Maybe if he got lucky more he would moan less. Edit: Now that I read it again, it could work the other way too.

 

Regarding the target on his back, make no mistake he has a massive following. Here the media hold him in extremely high regard, he does not suffer negative bias, but the “target” painted on his back was a self portrait.

They, F1, need to lean into this rather than fight it.

Gotta admire the achievements. Hardworking and persistent, undoubtedly.

 

All the nr 1s in sport has a target on their back, from Lewis Hamilton to Nino Schurter. Everyone wants the crown. Getting to the top is for but a few. Staying there is a remarkable feat.

 

Complaining is moaning when you can’t back it up with results. The only question is how much hunger he still has. The 100 will undoubtedly be a desired milestone.

Think its the whole live session vibe and only the people to pay to stream from the track can do so. But yes, F1 needs to go back to v10's and allow Twitch while they drive.
