Hamilton Loses His Wingman...

Partially his team’s fault for leaving him out far too long on terrible tires.

 

In what world do you live?

 

The Mercedes power unit this year is really a step above.
Its combination performance/ reliability is just remarkable.

 

Not everyone is made of the same cloth. Bottas may have superb mental fortitude. A shame it couldn't be traded in for a few more tenths of pace.

Yes and no....Lewis was pushing way too hard early on in that race. Ferrari, Alonso only pushed later in that stint and where MUCH faster at that point. Should Mclaren have pitted Lewis? Yes. Should Lewis have eased, and perhaps demand a stop? Yes and yes.

 

Some are just blind not to see this.

 

Again stop with the lies, Max was beaten in the standings by Ricciardo in 2017, his first season was 2015 so the fact is Max had 2 seasons in F1 before he was bested by Ricciardo.

Hamilton beat Fernando Alonso in his debut season FFS, you really don't have a clue what you're talking about I'm afraid.

 

The 2 car per team as a 'rule' is slowly coming to its end. It's been ages ago that it showed any advantages. Since the Schumacher years at Ferrari, well, even at Benetton, it was all about dominating the team mate. Teams still believe that a second driver will help making driver nr. 1 WDC. Good enough to help but not too good to endanger the dominator. Same material, but not the last updates. And if required, your pitstop will just be a bit longer, to make sure you don't get in front. What BS.
We've come so far that the kids at play need a slipstream instead of courage and driving skills to overtake each other. Well, of course, there's the DRS fraud. F1 is sick. Lately, I 've started watching F1 races of the 60's and the 70's, the times when s*x was fun and racing dangerous. Today, FIA is killing F1.

 

Why so agressive and rude? You clearly are not a ferrari fan, so you must have some other motivation to be here? This is not an f.1 forum most people would join unless they are tifosi.
You remind me of someone who was dropped here when Hamilton started, it looks you were waiting for George to have a competitive car to start talking him up!

 

Yes it was Team Hamilton at McLaren with mentor and uncle Ron firmly in Ham's corner.

Ham began the slippery tricks in Hungary '07, disobeying team instructions during quali. No penalty for Hamilton.

Alonso then returned the gesture and gets stiffed with a 5 place grid penalty.
Anthony Hamilton had lobbied the stewards and they obliged.

You don't need binoculars to see the dynamic of working "alongside" the Hamiltons.

 

At that time, he was the Golden boy of F1. Much needed boost by F1 after Schumi retired.

 

The Golden Child no doubt.
And his sense of entitlement has continued

 

Yep team Hamilton when Alonso had all the favoured strategies until Dennis realised Hamilton was more than a match for him.

 

Prove it

 

Alonso situation in McLaren in 2007 was absolutely comparable with Prost situation in the same team when he decided to leave the team for Ferrari in 1989.
With insights, the way he won this title against Ron Dennis is perhaps his most impressive achievement.

 

Lolo.lo.lolo, can i also live in fantasy land?

 

Toil.

 

Could be a twin brother.....

 

Read what I wrote. I know reading is hard sometimes. But do give it a try. It may make life easier for you, not just here, but in the real world as well.

 

Prove tg

You clearly didn't read what I wrote, I suggest you do.

 

What Hamilton did was not against the rules, Alonso clearly broke the rules by blocking Hamilton and preventing him setting a time.

The dynamics changed big time after that incident but problems started arising when Hamilton was prevented from optimising his strategy in Monaco after he was pitted too early.

 

So we both agree the unbeatable Verstappen was actually defeated by Ricciardo in 2017.

Hamilton defeated Alonso in his rookie season.

These are facts.

 

I live in reality pal unlike you.

 

No problem, here we go:

"Beaten Twice by Ric"

I then retaliate, stating that Max was indeed beaten by Ric, but at the time he was very young. When Max came to race alongside Ric he was indeed only 1 season in F1 and 1 season of actual car racing before it.

For someone that bangs on about ''the facts'' you sure don't grasp the concept of them very well.

And none of these were in dispute.

The same dynamic of Team Hamilton continued when McLaren asked Button to join. Paddock insiders warned Button not to join. Button did a decent job considering Hamilton was Uncle Ron's boy.
