Lewis Hamilton (Vol. 2)

[GiantCardboardPlato]

I've been to Japan and people just drift everywhere. literally nobody drives in a straight line. even the grannies.

Hats off to Lewis... he arranged & paid for all the drivers dinners for Seb’s leaving do

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

He has a big problem/issues with Hamilton though he won’t admit it. It’s intriguing when him and the like can’t post anything without insinuating something about Lewis/Toto/Merc or having a pop.

I really liked the video fwiw. F1 drivers in sports cars is always good viewing & I'm sure he'll make good whatever the hire company want to check it over.

I agree, I suspect the hire company are covering their backsides in case anyone fancies copying him, & I don't blame them for that. If I was them, I'd ask him to sign the glovebox lid or similar, might up the resale value

Plus, they put their name right up there, free advertising!

I'm 50/50 with it.

If it was on private ground or well away from anyone, all good.

If he repaired any damage, all good.

The opposite is not.

Yes but did you see the incorrect way he handled a teaspoon?

Would loved to have been a fly on the wall when Max noticed he had a WhatsApp from Lewis inviting him to dinner in AB.

What amazing scenes that must've been..."hi Max, we're doing a goodbye dinner for Vettel with all drivers, at restaurant X at 8pm"

Absolute scenes.

Billy buxton can't wait to narrate this I'm sure. Cue dramatic music and intensely zooming in on an actual fly on a wall.

Emerson using "neguinho" in its non-racist connotation obviously...

The Bill came to £140K... 7K each.
( But did that include partners...if so = justified).

The receipt used to show a bill of £140K was from a Salt bae restaurant. Nothing to do with the restaurant they went for dinner.

Chinese rumours then.

A family member is on the Mercedes pit crew, & this MV / LH rivalry isn’t as bad as it seems... lots of it is media hype.

Mercedes, yes.

Absolutely from Lewis' side. He has a maturity, level-headedness and capacity to overcome some of the worse ever scenarios in sport, with a calmness that is legendary.

In the Max camp however, we have a bitter, unstable, volatile and incendiary persona that is probably one of the least stable we have ever witnessed in F1.

We know where the problem lies.
