I can't see why an organisation would feel guilty for getting rid of an incompetent manager; that happens quite often. Being seen protecting a controversial official would be far more damaging, IMO. There is no need to revisit Abu Dhabi 2021 and reverse the result, but the FIA must take a lesson from it.
If LH would have won all we would have heard out of Toto and LH how “absolutely brilliant” Masi was so they they could win and earn their trophies legitimately on the track and not tarnished behind the safety car. Thank God that did not happen. Instead of having to endure the usual pompous, self righteous LH, we got an early and the best Christmas present of all- hearing the fear in LH voice during his SC radio messages and Toadto’s whines and multiple views of Max shocking those two AHs! The fact that those self righteous phonies are still fuming is just icing on the cake. If Sainz had been passed by the ATs because he had been hampered by one of the back markers not allowed to pass the SC, he would have been the only one in the right for a reversal.
I watched it too. The majority of the audience wasn’t shown. In fact I’ve never seen an awards program where every single person in attendance was shown. You have no idea if he was or wasn’t there. Ultimately it doesn’t matter because the entire sport with the only exception being Mercedes is perfectly thrilled that your lord and savior Elton Hamdashian lost in a spectacular manner. It was actually a bit embarrassing for Elton because he left such a huge opening on the last turn. Max could have passed him in a H1 hummer the space was so huge.
I have come to think that for certain individuals, the Hamilton bashing on FChat has quite a therapeutic value, since it allows them to unleash at no risk all the hatred they harbour inside them. It's better than wife beating or kicking the dog.
You'te back to your ways, eh? Maybe "feeling guilty guilty for getting rid of an incompetent manager" is the wrong choice of words. Fearing for "it's" (actually "their") image is more appropriate. An organization, though not inanimate, is like a chain. It is one made up of numerous links. Any one of those links that is weak, and breaks, represents the chain.....who would have faith in that chain maker? The same with an organization comprised of people. That organizations "image" like it or not, is that weak "link", in this case, Masi. They've got to be concerned with the diminishing image due to his being in his position in the first place. The proof is in all the controversy worldwide regarding "FIA's" failure when it was just that one "link" (Masi) that broke. 'Doesn't matter.....FIA's image is tarnished because of him. Admitting that it was that "link" in the "chain" is damaging and has to be a concern to the "organization".
You have to admit that Lewis is asking for it. Just look at the way he dresses for starters. I mean, c'mon. And that's not even talking about politics or his antics on the track (Silverstone).
Dont forget about lovely Angela waxing his scooter, holding his hair, gloves, phone , Chapstick, etc etc etc Take that broad out of the garage! what a wuss lulu is . Get lost
Time to cue in a picture of James Hunt smoking a cigarette. Or Gilles dueling Pironi in a helicopter version of chicken over the roofs of Monaco.
I don't see those, and I don't pay too much attention at his politics. I have the same stuff with my grand children, so I tolerate it. I have found Hamilton outstanding on the track for many years, since 2007 in fact. But his form is declining, and I saw this year as the last chance for him to get his 8th title; it's gone now.
He made more errors this season than usual. Then again he rarely had this much pressure from any other driver, so I'm not sure he is really declining. Also how we drove the last few races of the season showed a better than ever Hamilton. All things considered I think he has a realistic chance for his 8th title next season.
Hamilton is a lot like Vettel. Put him in front with a fast car and he can manage the equipment with the best of them. Add some pressure and he folds like a tent.
I disagree. His fights from the back in the sprint and the real GP in Brazil were nothing short of a miracle. Vettel wouldn't have pulled that off. But we saw Lewis' mistakes in Imola and Baku. Those were probably pressure related.
Vettel certainly would, and has, when he was in the dominant Red Bull. During his time at Ferrari, not so much.
In his WDC winning years at RB agreed. Not in his last year there and definitely not at Ferrari nor at MB. He peaked during his last title and went downhill from there.
