Unfortunately Lewis is absolutely finished.
Ferrari must be looking for any way out of that £100m contract now after Bearmans performance.
LOL

Off the track go woke, on the track totally choke.

I’ve asked you this already but which username(s) do you use on BBC F1 HYS as your trolling seems to be very familiar over there?

I have a feeling that particular wkpuffin has been banned from PH.

Lewis finished ahead of Verstappen today so I doubt he's fully mentally broken just yet.

I get the feeling that Ferrari is a nicer car to drive than the Mercedes cart horse.

As for GR... I haven't seen a Merc parked like that since the first generation of A class got a recall.

Only a really mature mind could have gone through what Lewis did in AD21 and remained so respectful and composed. Amazing to see!

I still find it almost inconceivable how he conducted himself, and I think that when he's retired I will remember that as much as I remember drives such as the 2013 Hungarian GP, 2011 German GP, 2014 Bahrain GP, 2020 Turkish GP, 2018 Italian GP, 2008 British GP, etc etc.

"Almost inconceivable" - perfect!

Sportsmanship personified!

Yes agreed. Think what you like about LH but that kind of attitude is rare.

[Hustle_]

He certainly supersedes Massa in the ‘absolute class’ stakes.

interesting thought, how do we think others would have reacted in the same situation?

For instance Max or Schumacher. Schumacher went for a strong word with Coulthard over a lot less!

Quite a few might have gone for chat up in the office with Massi before the trophies where handed out. Wouldn't be the first time, Prost springs to mind.

René Arnoux would have shrugged and ordered a new tractor.

A lot less? Lewis lost the title, Michael was put in physical danger by DC stupidly lifting on the racing line. A lot less!!!!!

Different situations.

One was a crash on a wet circuit.

The other was a completely different scenario with rules not being followed, etc.

Impossible to compare the two.

Schumacher felt that he was put in danger and the adrenaline was flowing, so may be given some leeway for his temper, I think.


But comparing that episode with Hamilton having a title stolen is ludicrous.

Yet someone did!

I don't care about the direct comparison, only surprised that someone thinks that physical harm is not a biggie... I would put health and safety above anything else, but maybe that's just me

Didn't Schumacher crash into 2 rivals on purpose to try and win a world title? Safety clearly not top of his list.

It was an off hand example of a driver losing it in the pitlane over something that happened on track.

Just thought it was a potentially interesting discussion around a difficult situation for Hamilton and how how others would have potentially handled it.

Ooooh, great, two can play this game: didn't Hamilton play the race card in Monaco? How dignifying...

You see, it doesn't work like that; Senna crashed people out and then stopped to check Comas's crash, that monster.

But anyway, let's move on. It is true, different people would behave differently and I do agree that others would have gone to talk to the RC instead of taking it in the chin. I am surprised Lewis didn't if I'm honest, in fact I would have loved it if he did, people should be confronted and be held responsible when abusing their authority. Most non-RB fans would have given him their blessing I suspect.

Had the roles been reversed and Max losing the WDC as a result of the decision I can't imagine he would have remained as calm.
