    The MB is not illegal because they haven't been caught yet.

    Yes that is 100% true

    BUT

    More often than not, Hamilton is on the better side of that “game”. Would you not agree that he has had the equipment “edge” for at least a few seasons now?

    I’m just happy it’s a close battle. Today was great.

    Of course but this year is what I’m referring to. In the past his car was in another stratosphere; this year is pretty even.
    I just want it to go down to the wire.

    LH Has had a big equipment edge since 2014, and MB, when others get close, pull that extra out and pull ahead. This year it’s been back and forth with RB but clearly after today the MB is the faster car.

    Peter Windsor getting emotional about Hamilton’s drive.



    And here he makes a point. Hamilton gets so much stick these days, when it comes times to actually deliver he delivers.

    I even notice it myself this weekend, I saw in real time Hamilton learning from his mistakes, on where to attack, where to overtake, where to maximize any advantage.

    It’s a total copout to say, oh, it’s just because he has a faster car. So? A car is still a tool, to be used by an idiot or a master.

    Put another F1 driver in the same seat, and 9/10 times I’d say Lewis would come out on top over a race distance. The guy is freaking fast we when he’s on it, and he was today.

    It’s telling that Max was imo willing to crash to stop Hamilton’s charge.

    Just give the guy the benefit of the doubt for once.

    Hammy got game! He may have just earned his 8th WDC. Right now might be like when our grandfathers got to witness the greatness of Juan Manuel Fangio.

    If you have a car that is 28kph faster, you will win starting from last.

    Do I like the guy, no. Does he have a faster car, yes. Is he that damn good, yes. Did we witness greatness this weekend, very much so.

    Hahaha... Recently Lewis' choir boys here said Red Bull was the better car, because there couldn't be another reason for Max' advantage.
    Ridiculous and pathetic, the complete Mercedes clan, Totocheater first in row.
    The engineers, back in the factory, should get all the credits, nobody else.

    Nah. He's good. Car (engine) was amazing.

    Put Russell in that car, same result.

    source ?
    I disagree.
    Bottas shows you what happens when you have a powerful car in the hands of a more average driver.
    Bottas starting from last usually stays in the doldrums.

    And who is claiming that Bottas also had this more powerful engine? Source??

    Nobody is saying Hamilton is winning just because of the car. But it’s a FACT that his current engine was a great help last Sunday.

    Is it possible that the Merc that Hamilton drove at Mexico is not the Merc he drove at Brazil? Better car will be the difference between these two. At Mexico, Hamilton claimed there was nothing he could do with Max's speed at the front. In Brazil, Max said the same about Hamilton's car.

    Why can't both be true?

    No one here, at least me, says Hamilton is above MS that Would be blasphemy.
    I don’t think Hamilton himself claimed to be the [emoji238], his fans certainly have but not him. He always been a senna fan…
    That being said, Schumacher being an all time great don’t prevent Hamilton from having had a great race Sunday which is fun for the championship.
    No one should feel insecure about their heroes.
    It is not impossible to like f1 and appreciate great drives by any pilots and still prefer, respectfully, one above the other.
