    ham succeeds - it's all ham
    ham fails - it's the car
    russell succeeds - it's the car
    russell surpasses ham - russell's car is better

    Sky Sports - something is "fundamentally wrong"

    How insulting it is to Russell that they not even entertain the possibility that he is simply superior to ham. The F1 Karma is running over some Dogma.

    The main problem with Hamilton's car is within the helmet of its driver. The guy simply can't cope with setbacks.

    Thing is, i said nothing lasted forever, all teams domination comes to an end, sometimes with a bang and i think merc really is in the gutter this time.

    You can cheer up on a man's defeat, but you can never take away the success he had.

    Likewise, after today's qualifying we must entertain the possibility that Checo is simply superior to Max :D

    Lol, I'm willing to accept that wager. Simple bet, I'll take Max ahead of Checo tomorrow. The loser has to listen to Spice Girls for 24 hrs.

    I remember when Schumacher came back from retirement and how the media criticized(Especially British media) he was never a worthy champion because Nico Rosberg consistently beat him.

    No way I'd take that bet :) I was just making a point about making much of a single qualifying session...
    ...although the Spice Girls aren't so bad, so I wouldn't mind losing - Max may get well tangled up with a Ferrari.

    Napoleon also had some big successes, but it all ended quite bitterly, didn't it? :D
    Hamilton should have stopped this winter, or at least when he found out the 2022 Merc was crap.
    Not knowing when to stop is a weakness.
    When Schumi, after "retiring" from F1, turned to Mercedes, it was clearly not a smart move. And Nico proved often the car was not the problem.

    Also in F1, there is something like a culminating point.

    I dont remeber things like that being said, Sky have always rated MSC and always spoke very highly of him, as they have Rosberg. As they still do vettel, and Alonso..

    It wouldnt make sense for Sky, to discredit any driver who ever won the championship as it would down grade its own product, a product they pay more for than f1 sells to the rest of the world to show..

    The BBC is most neutral media platform in the world..

    No one believes the big newpapers... They are not even British owned..... Unless you read the local papers for each individual city and town, so i do not really get what point your trying to portray with your comment.... Unless it was to prove the British media is the least biased and most free media in the world then im stuck...

    Hamilton is a great driver.
    Mercedes 2014-2021 was the greatest team of all time ( performance/reliability) by a huge margin.

    I’m not a Hamilton fan, but I would be very cautious to write off the MBZ season as a failure. Russell showed the car has potential, and it’s not miles away from the top teams. They could be one engineering theory correction away from leading again.

    Depends on how the Fia will allowed them to bypass the budget cap.

    If MB could just join the fray and mix with Ferrari and Red Bull for our enjoyment, that would be good enough.

    The same about McLaren too. Eras of one team domination end up being a turn-off for many.
