I prefer calling drivers by their names (especially if I am a public figure giving an interview), and not racist or sexual slurs. I don’t know, lots of folks seem to disagree with me here though, so I’m sure many would find the example I hypothesized as fine.
To further the point, this was not private banter, but a public interview. does the former somehow justify the latter? Of course not - just that it further illustrates the egregiousnesses of the act. I know this concept is hard to understand. Think a racist talking in their own home vs said racist attaching a bullhorn to their mouth to broadcast slurs to the rest of the world. I mean if this is correct behavior I simply ask why Ferrarichat doesn’t tolerate it?
I'd go one stage further and ban interviewers using lazy abbreviations instead of their interviewees actual name. Lazy. Surely their parents brought them up better than that ? Some cultures still use the proper Hello MR SMITH instead of Hello Joe (Smith)
it is the 3rd best car on the grid, and by far the most reliable. People act as if Lewis and George are dragging a Williams to the podium. That said congrats to them but I’d like to see them do this on pure pace vs waiting for the now seemingly inevitable Ferrari or RB implosion.
Yep. Third best team finds itself on the podium, after one of the top two teams is removed altogether. That's not "amazing", that's not "talent" ... that's simple arithmetic
^^^ No... That's racing. Leclerc GAVE the race to Max and 2nd to Lewis. Funny how you ignore the FACT that he GAVE the race to Max. Only that Lewis shouldn't be 2nd...You're unbelievable But... Max won the race and Lewis finished second. And all the shoulda/woulda/coulda you come up with won't change that. Sucks, doesn't it.
Sucks that Verstappen beat Hamilton, AGAIN?? Nope ... doesn't suck at all It was no great "skill" from Hamilton, that caused Leclerc to crash out. It was no amazing "talent" from Hamilton, that caused Sainz to start so far back ... and get his race bungled by another questionable Ferrari strategy. Sorry to rain on your love-fest Look at the time difference on the podium, once again, for the real story One of the top two teams is eliminated altogether, through no "amazing talent" or "skill" by team #3 ... and team #3 finds itself on the podium as a result. :YAWN:
I don't remember how many laps it took for LH to drop 6 sec behind Max and Charles, but it wasn't many.
I think it LH was almost 5 seconds behind by lap 6. Russell finished ahead of Checo also. Checo really was MIA all weekend. I’d love to see Fred in that car.
Driver A (Lewis or Max) manages to stay on track and bring it home. Driver B manages to loose control and crash out. So basically you are saying that skill and talent were not a factor in this?
No that's not what he's saying. Law of attrition....not on merit. It's happened to Max in 2016 at Spain. It happened to Stroll in Baku in 2017. It happened to Gasly, Stroll and Sainz in Monza. You win on merit.
So Lewis beat both Ferraris today with an inferior car, that's why he gets the big bucks. Lewis finds ways to finish races. So the question is, can Ferrari hold off MB for second in the constructors title?
Ferrari beat themselves today....from the drivers making errors to the pitwall making errors. Ferrari gifted everyone points at Paul Ricard.
There were no mechanical dnfs with the top 5 cars today. The podium drivers earned their place on talent and skill.
Just can't admit that Lewis has a skill for saving his equipment and bringing it home in the heat of battle. What champion said - the goal is to win the race with the least stress on the equipment? Or at the slowest speed?
Riiiiiight......like Lewis has been bringing home CONSISTENTLY on a podium finish. Russell's been more consistent than Lewis for 2022. What does that say about Russell over Lewis in consistency and in points??
? They have had podiums, I think this is Hamilton's 3rd or 4th consecutively? Again TODAY'S race, all podium drivers earned it
Yes, 4th consecutively and 5 total for Lewis. Russell has 5 total as well. Russell has 143 points vs Lewis's 127 points after 12 races.
