    An AI can drive and dress better than LH.

    Bet GR is better than LH in proving tech feedback and being a team leader.

    He and Max are quite good friends as well. I heard some rumblings I think last year that Hulk was possibly going to RBR but that seems to have fizzled out. To be honest I'd like it if RBR entertained the idea again.

    they already were a lap late with the pit, forgivable really but that also meant they could see (like I f'in did and they with FAR more data certainly will have) see that Hamilton and Max were f'in flying. Leaving Oscar out ANOTHER lap was a shocking decision. rather than double stack costing him and extra 1.5 seconds they cost him 20. Imbeciles.

    As we've seen before with Hamilton, too much theatre. He loves it when it's about him.

    In that sence, Hamilton and the Islanders deserve each other. They're both a bit too much in love with themselves.

    Not to mention some bad calls on Norris as well. I think hamilton deserved the win today but feel it was because mclaren as a team lost the race.

    David Hobbs always insisted he deserved a better car!

    As a tv spectator, it was difficult to see, but I now believe he could score significantly higher in a better car.

    Much the same way RUS filling in for HAM with covid should have, could have won that race.

    We have seen this movie before! He should have been instructed to open up a 5sec gap to NOR and double stack the pitstop.

    NOT ideal, but better than the alternative. The rain comes when it comes and you are where you are on the lap.

    Hulk's commentary over the years with AMus regarding car and driver stability when he's been standing at turns monitoring different teams was always something I looked forward to, he was also so precise and articulate with what car is doing what. I heard Hulk's career didn't go further earlier because he's tall and somewhat large structured in general.

    Great race today. Perhaps one of the best in a while. Feel bad for Norris..it was his race to win. Russell mechanical failure..I dunno..having a bit of a hard time with that one. Norris pit was..hurtful. congrats to Lewis..honestly drove a great race.

    George was losing power for 5-10 laps, otherwise he was Aces on Lewis and everyone today.

    I'm not being antagonistic towards Lewis, I don't blame him at all. He knows the status of the team and its development, and in my opinion, his dream of wearing red is part of his personal identity, validation and recognition.

    Doesn't Checo have a new contract, they may let him continue in "limp mode" before paying to break that new deal.

    The Scuderia’s consistent inconsistency is absolutely baffling. Truly perplexing this season.

    Lando and final sprint stint tire management did not workout. They lost because Mercedes with Lewis were a touch better overall.

    I wonder if Zak Brown will file a complaint with the FIA because Max used a tow and DRS to pass Norris in the final laps?:rolleyes:

    McLarens error was larger than that. They had fresh mediums available and somehow chose to put on used sorts. Amateur hour. Totally cost them the race as we can see from Pastry’s pace on mediums - he was flying in comparison to Norris. Shameful decision making.
