Politics and Religion….which also spreads into cultural issues. Those used to be verboten outside of P&R but it seems an exception is being made for this thread. I have no problem with that as long as the context is F1. After all, F1 itself is full of ideology, corporatism and cultural tension from the environment to venues that have human rights problems to corporatism. P&R is a subscribed forum and has a thread dedicated to F1.
I can 'somewhat' respect LH's records, but I have little respect for HIM. (I didn't say no respect, I said little...) I don't know how to respect his records when he largely raced against Three (at most) competitive cars for 75% of his career, and now a team and driver is outperforming him, and all he can do is WHINE. Now, imagine the 20 other cars in the field during LH's first 10-12 years, they didn't whine....
Drivers must have different goals depending on the car they are driving, and their own ability. I don't think Magnussen, Zhou or Sargeant expect to win, but their satisfaction is to extract the best from their car. The disappointment comes when they are not achieving that.
No. Some actually try to figure out why they are slow(er). Some know it's equipment/cubic dollars and do the best they can, but others play the blame game: 'My pit crew screwed up' 'They put the wrong tires on the car' 'They put too much (or not enough) into the aero' If your team screws up, THEY know that, no need to call them out in the media. LH hasn't learned that.
So Alonso who went out of his way to put down every team he has been at just waved over your head? dont tell me your didnt hear max whining today? do a google search, you will be extremely shocked to find pretty much all of them whine one way or another.
I don't recall me saying anything about Alonso, or Max, the title of this thread is 'Lewis', is it not? Are you the type of person that is going to go dig up stuff on EVERY driver I could name? Try to stay on the thread topic....
ill quote " Now, imagine the 20 other cars in the field during LH's first 10-12 years, they didn't whine.. " 20 cars, that dont whine like LH. am i getting this right? as i said, i remember Max whining, Vettel whining ( This during the Merc era of dominance ) Ricardo whining, Alonso raged so hard he left the sport, like seriously. you seriously saying all drivers dont whine? They all do it, for various different reasons, Max was bitching today because his cars didnt perform good enough for the little sweet heart even though the title is all but wrapped up he is still whining about an unimportant race most of the fans dont even like apart from its " history " Monaco is rubbish for these f1 cars, they need a 4 lane highway to race.
"The car is really bottoming out a lot" That's constructive criticism. "Lewis we need to pit" "no!" "Lewis we really need to pit" "no!" End of the race: "well my team really screwed my strategy this race." See the difference?
Was he being constructive when he told them to **** off? when he called his team ****ing morons? are you really trying to come here and say Max, the most vile mouth, personality, spoilt little bastard every known to mankind doesnt do it? seriously? LOLOLOLOL
Did I say that that Max doesn't swear? You took yesterdays' as an example, something that was quite literally him saying the setup needed changing. How is that whining? Lewis in the same session said his tyres had no grip. That's not whining, either. That's information. When did Max call his team ****ing morons or tell them to **** off? I know you're trying to exaggerate for effect but ''MOST vile mouth little bastard known to mankind'' is a little bit much isn't it? Max swearing and being unapologetic about it is exactly why I like him, because he's not pretentious about it. He doesn't say one thing yet does the opposite.
no, its a true statement, he is one. Dont talk to me abot exagerating either, you just compared max moaning about his cars lack of pace to LH saying a simple no........ Max is as hypocritical as they come, you should pay more attention to your bestie.
