Compare/contrast with JB who was on Sky today, total gent who won and lost with dignity; a level below the quality of driver Hamilton is but so much more class. Bit like comparing Colombia and Japan at the World Cup. Hafnia and Romey 1878 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He really is an obnoxious little shit.....did I ever mention before that I'm not a fan? not a fan either really wish Jenson was still involved.

BBC.. Lewis Hamilton could lose his victory in the German Grand Prix after being summoned to the stewards to explain a driving misdemeanour. The Mercedes driver aborted a decision to pit to change tyres under a late-race safety car and cut across the grass to rejoin the track and take the lead. The F1 rules dictate that "crossing the line separating the pit entry and the track by a car entering the pit lane is prohibited". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted July 22, 2018 Report Share Posted July 22, 2018 Bugger... 'The race stewards said that although Hamilton had clearly broken the rules on entering the pits, a reprimand was the "appropriate penalty". Other possible punishments included a five- or 10-second penalty. The ruling took into account that the driver and team admitted their mistake; that the offence was during a safety car period, when the speed of cars on track is controlled; and that the manoeuvre did not endanger any other drivers and was "executed in a safe way".'

I think it's just because he's British. Absolutely no doubt, though, that if he was going up against another "one of ours" then I'd be wanting them to win over him. It might also have to do with me absolutely despising Ferrari and Vettel as well! rubecula 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zoo 2.0 Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 If Bottas is pissed about today then he should have been faster when team orders had no business being used earlier in the season. He's got the same car as Lewis yet has taken until Russia to have a nailed on chance of winning. Where was this pace in Australia, Bahrain, China etc? Not that I'm bashing Valtierri, I think he's a solid set of hands and a great part of the Mercedes machine but you simply can't be upset about what happened today given how the title race is shaping up. He's not in the fight for the grand prize and points are everything at the business end of the season, like it or not the only two drivers relevant at the moment are Lewis and Seb. In theory, Hamilton can DNF twice now and still win the title, had he come second today then he couldn't. It's basic strategy. Can you imagine the rattlement if Lewis let Bottas back through and then lost the title by a point in Abu Dhabi? Nah, not having it. Mercedes were spot on today and had the roles been reversed then Bottas would be the first to celebrate, as would Vettel/Kimi etc. It's not great viewing or what the fans want to see but it's about winning and as quickly as possible, whilst it might not seem like a necessary move at the moment it could well prove to be when the chequered flag comes out in November - if Bottas wants to stop being a wingman then he needs to drive faster and take a note out of Nico's book - even Sebastian when asked about the move in the paddock said that it was totally understandable.

Just said to Josh that unless something radical changes I'm done, it's the only real reason I pay Sky a fortune every month but no idea why I bother. It makes it so boring. Half the time the drivers aren’t able to really race because they’ve got to save their tyres, and then when they fall off a cliff the drivers are just sitting targets. I want to see them battling for most of the race, but they’re unable to do that when they have to nurse the tyres for as long as possible. F1 is supposed to be the pinnacle in terms of the drivers and the cars/technology but we rarely get a chance to actually see it. The drivers aren’t happy and can’t be enjoying it, and a lot of the fans certainly aren’t. Something needs to change or they’ll keep losing fans.
