    Not necessarily wrong, but which rules are you talking about? Also, they may be stupid, but they are the rules and everyone is aware of them before, during and after each race. The same rules apply to all.

    It's not the first time Hamilton has got lucky with a back marker in Brazil

    Anyone remember the gift from Glock ?

    I don't think it was a "gift." Did you see his on-board(Timo)? He was all-over the place and it was'nt just Lewis passing him up. Plus it was a bad tire strat. call by his pit.

    Brundle had an interview with him prior to the 2018 BrazilianGP.

    Not even that.... as far as I remember he stayed out on slicks unlike anyone other. At the end he was further ahead than before so it was actually a good call. Glock was behind Lewis before everybody stopped and he was behind at the end, so no gift

    To really benefit from someone's misfortune, you have to be in the position to capitalise from them.

    In recent years, it has often been Hamilton who's always in the mix, and ready to take advantage of others' mistakes.

    This year, between Vettel and Verstappen, Hamilton has received a helping hand in his chase to the title.

    So thanks Sébastian and Max, your help has really been priceless !!!!

    I didn't realise that you worked for Hamilton

    Yep, LH switched to Merc at the right time, with zero real input on its development, and has largely stayed out of trouble, except during the battles Nico gave him.
    Whether that makes him a great champion is debatable.
    The stats say he is, but they never tell the whole story as we know.

    Proof of Ham having 0 input in the Mercedes development?

    LH nearly always puts himself in a position to make use of his speed and his car. Stats over a career paint the real picture, and LH has been notably consistent in this regard. He already has a huge list of Mosts in his stats sheet. LH and SV have been in F1 for nearly the same amount of time, and LH has 20 more wins and 27 more poles. Further, LH has bagged both wins and poles in every single season he has been racing in F1.

    He also has another 4-5 years of racing at his peak form, so there will be more records to follow.

    Two former Merc employees. Lewis hardly showed up at the factory, which remains the case. Despite winning the WCC quite a few staff are demotivated and migrating into other industries.
    Fundamentally it's a British company and some staff are just not feeling properly compensated.

    Further reports of Lewis "damaging" his engine which looks like he'll take on a new one at Abu Dhabi(grid penalties)......not that it makes any difference now but they could test the new 2019 engine IF one is avaliable which is what I would do at this point in the 2018 season if I was Mercedes.

    Now that's a cunning plan.

    Honda has been testing 2019 engines all year at the back of the Toro Rosso !
