Lewis Hamilton (Vol. 2)

[ch37]

Things I didn't expect to see today: Sir Lewis doing a bit of Tokyo Drift in an R34 (and laughing his head off doing it).

He'll need to find a way past George first, before he gets near Max

True. We, the viewers, and certainly fortunate that Mercedes has the policy of letting its drivers race on equal terms.

I hope you are right. Wouldn't want to see George being pressured to take the Bottas role. War would break out at Merc (again)

I don't think that will happen. Bottas was occasionally asked to help because he wasn't usually anywhere near Lewis on the track. Not so with Russell who is probably a future WDC.

We've also seen Lewis being very mellow about ending up behind Gorge in the standings. I think if he considers things to have been fair and knows where things have gone awry, and why, he's simply secure enough in his own abilities to be able to deal with it.

I think he will want to beat George at all costs, or he will exit the sport.

I think next year will be pivotal for Lewis, beat George in the standings and hes bang in the game with his tail up, George beat him and its off the Sebastian Vettel home for formally devisve F1 drivers for a year or two then into retirement. Personally I hope for the former as I think he has something to give to the sport and is one of the guys that the newer drivers should aim to emulate and a good barometer to gauge their own performances against.

Is there a full clip of this you're seeing? The Twitter clip is some st music and blurry images with not much going on at all.

Well there is a load of sped up film and a car setting itself on fire.
Not sure how it's utterly brilliant though

A current F1 world champion enjoying ragging a car that has nothing to do with his employer on public roads?

Where did he rag it? The clip shows him do a donut in what appears to be a car park / closed off area.

Maybe you're seeing an extended clip i'm not seeing but 'utterly brilliant' didn't spring to mind.

I wish I were cool enough not to enjoy something on the internet.

Here is a mind blowing statistic I saw the other day, how far back do you have to go before you get to a season without a Lewis Hamilton or Micheal Schmacher being listed as a winner?






Answer:1991!!!

[RB Will]

Yeah that popped up via Autosport

Turns out he had no permission to drive it as such...

He rented it. They don't condone donuts with the rental. HTH

[satfinal]

No, it's the rental company saying they don't condone the driving of their vehicles like that. I doubt we'll ever know if the offending parts were truly on open public road, but the rental company didn't like it either way

The [it was not taken with permission] is the video of his doings, not the car.

Auto translation sucks, no idea why it chopped out the kanji for photography/video (today I learned that PH forum does not support anything but latin characters)

"Lewis disappointingly rags Nissan on public road despite being contracted to Mercedes"

Literally can't win.

I wouldn't exactly recommend it to anyone but What The Deuces just posted in another thread an article from that well-known F1 authority bleacherreport.com which lists instances where Hamilton has been 'a menace'. One of the 'offences' is similar to the latest with the R34. The article is padded out significantly with a number of routine F1 racing infringements and minor mistakes, and it features a perplexing and utterly tenuous link of Hamilton to Tiger Woods which is presumably intended to be humorous and sticks out like a sore thumb.

I don't want to discuss it in that thread as the thread has rolled onto a new page and I'm hoping the post doesn't see a lot of eyes

I suspect Lewis didn’t rent it, someone in Japan did and invited him out for some fun.

Yep. All we need now is for some snowflake to post a photo of James Hunt.
