Nope, no problem. Just wanted to know if the attention seeking had started already.

Yours certainly has.

Holy irony Batman!

He's been off socials for the majority of the winter break, popped up to pay his respects to Ken Block and then more recently with a few videos from his trip to Antarctica.

An 11km run in Antarctica with Shaun White for his birthday is pretty cool, as things go.

Who cares? Anyway, he bought them all dinner at the end of season goodbye to Seb. I guess he has got used to doing that over the last few years and forgot it is normally the WDC who pays.

Well, could you imagine Verstappen paying?

You might as well go back under your bridge in that case.

Fixed fee plus extra per championship point earned previous year.

It would have been more fun if the photo was real, due to the absolute snowflake meltdown it would have caused among the usual suspects.

I think that looks good on him!

...and I also never knew that the driver fees for the super licence were anything like that..

Yes, the people who have issues with his self expression would have a field day. Meanwhile, the rest of us would think “Lewis being Lewis”. At least AndyM outed himself so I can remember to ignore his posts in F1 for the coming season.

I will confess that I look forward to his next contribution for entertainment value alone.

I remember Lewis coming under scrutiny for telling his young nephew that he shouldn't be wearing a dress when playing.

Do you also remember the great lengths that Lewis went to in his admitting that he was completely out of order to his nephew and the media? His words and actions to make amends were quite compelling.
