Formula 1...

I'm not really a Hamilton fan, but I think Sunday showed us that it still takes skills to drive the best car. Bottas could barely keep it pointing in the right direction while Lewis was able to make a comeback after not being on pole and win the race.

Agreed! That wasn’t a jibe. He is a better driver than Bottas.

I was more talking about him getting bored....

Sorry for the late reply

Ole Bottas make a joke. 

 

Now, if it was Borat we would laugh and laugh. But i guess Mercedes sells many cars in China.

There are rumours that he may get banned from entering the country, so the apology makes sense.

Yup  - China doesn't take to kindly to being told they were the cause of the Virus - Ask the Australian Coal sector....

Also not a Hamilton fan, but somehow, no matter what happens, he always seems to pull it off. Sometimes I think he must be the luckiest guy on the grid, other times I think he has the uncanny ability to make his own luck.

 

Although not a fan, I have a lot of respect for his achievements. He is definitely one of the greats.

How can he lose something that he never even had a single finger on haha.

Yeah, he may as well get a leash and a vegan diet at this point........

 

He is in the same car though, see also he is saying next year is his year

ahhh...The Coulthard-Hypothesis

 

['Dale]

Lewis Hamilton is the typical maverick. So too Senna, Schumi and, gotta love the guy, Max.

 

There's one around every corner in sport. The Formula 1 environment suits Lewis well. It is not a team sport, so being eccentric brings a useful edge, although it is a highly interdependent performance environment. His perfectionistic tendencies will allow him to thrive in a sport where millimetres and milliseconds matters. 

 

However, the maverick in Hamilton always acknowledges his team, the contributors at the factory and his relationship with Toto. He also works tirelessly at co-creating a sport that is more inclusive.

An insightful interview into the culture of performance at Merc.

Who will challenge the dominance?

He should pay costs and then some for being stupid too.
