Anyway how'd Lewis beating anybody in the same car go with Nico over 3 seasons? Nico had a few wins and poles IIRC....
2-1 I think

I was talking about how many time Nico beat him in races and qualy though, as i made clear. Lewis has had to race one other driver for 3 seasons, wow, legend.
You missed my point. As an objective outsider looking in (I dare you to give it a try) there were definitely races where Lewis couldn't get near to Nico. Austria '14, Barcelona '14/'15 iirc and races where the tables were turned.The point is, mentally Lewis will have explained these away to himself so as not to be his fault or he will have pored over the data (as Nico has done for 4 years) to find out why he got beat and not let it happen again.
The question asked was 'is it a good idea for Lewis to voice a negative opinion of how he felt the team treated him when they are in the market to fill a number 2 spot'.
Whether anybody else agrees with whatever Lewis thinks is irrelevant, none of us control the tiny steering wheel inside Hamilton's head so our more objective views don't matter.
I think the collective answer was yes/no/we don't know.
As Coulthard once put it, racing drivers have balls, just not crystal ones - or something.

Comparing NR to Lewis. Stop.

Indeed. Sometimes, giving the powers that be a reality check is needed. Let them know to not do the same thing again. Hamilton's take on it, combined with the general consensus from the paddock; mean Mercedes have had to wind their neck in; just as I, and many here, predicted!
You mean his employers, rather than the powers that be. vonuber said:

why oh dear ? that's cool
these guys are rock stars ...well should be ...but most are boring as hell
I don't follow bottas or nico but cant think of a reason to on social media
.... and I wouldn't stand on either Bombardier or P1 as they would probably be damaged due to weight, although given the materials they make them out of it may take it.
Not got a problem with LH doing it though and cant see what the issue is really - it's not changed my opinion of him.
Roll on March when the racing starts again!
