Hamilton deserves more respect

Fully agree on the first part.
Hamilton is doing a great season particularly during races.
Fully disagree on the last part.
I’m not watching my favorite sport to endure woke lessons by a multi millionaire lecturer.

 

LH attempts to help people who are interested in F1 gain skills to possibly enter it. Terrible he does such a crazy thing. Look up his foundation and what it does!!

 

Smoke screen.
Again I much prefer talking about the great driver he’s.

 

I don't know where Hamilton pays his taxes, but in UK having a foundation is one way to get some rebate.
If the story about his private jet is true, Hamilton isn't adverse to some tax avoidance.
Good luck to him, I say !!

• Formula One star Lewis Hamilton avoided paying tax on his £16.5 million private jet, according to the BBC and The Guardian.
  
  
• The Paradise Papers revealed that Hamilton used an Isle of Man scheme to set up businesses that rented out his own jet to himself.
  
  
• He received a 100% VAT refund on the plane, despite using the jet for personal as well as professional trips.
  

 

Oh my very very rich people being tax averse lol. News???

 

Who cares about him legally avoiding tax. I'd do the same. ****, I highly encourage him to do so.

 

So do I !!! I am not the least irritated by Hamilton avoiding taxes.
I just wanted to explain one of his possible motives to launch a foundation.

 

I wish I was rich enough…

 

100% agree.

There's a WORLD of difference between tax avoidance and tax evasion.

One is perfectly legal, practiced by every wealthy (or even semi-wealthy) person with a brain.
The other is illegal ... just ask Bernie Ecclestone!

 

I no longer endure ANY lectures from Princess Lulu. Not on motorsport topics or his biased, highly privileged activism. How do I do it? I stopped listening to any and all segments where he is speaking since 2020. It works!

Of course, I do hear him repeatedly whining and blaming his own team during the race, but that's unavoidable....

 

He also poisons my favorite sport with unwanted, uncalled for activism.

 

Yet his foundation to help young people gain skills to possibly work in F1 or other tech related industries has not impeded at all growth in the sport lol.

Poison. Pathetic statement.

 

What a difference a week makes:

Good leave sooner

 

That in a nutshell is his problem: motivation.

 

Actually, his “problem” is the car is a POS.

glad to know a car that's 2nd in the WCC is a "POS"

 

Better to be lucky than good.

 

I think the car might say the same about his driver....

 

Sadly for you, cars can't talk.
As far as M-B being in 2nd in the constructors championship, here are the point standings after yesterday. Yes, M-B is in second...but...Red Bull has DOUBLED M-B points total. Assuming that M-B will not win a race this year, this will be the first time since 2011 the team has gone winless. Must be Hamilton's fault.
Red Bull: 782
M-B: 382

And Toto's thoughts on the W14:
Toto Wolff launches savage attack on ‘miserable’ and ‘inexcusable’ W14 performance (msn.com)
In his rant, he points out that they got the aero TOTALLY wrong, so not only was the car slow on the straights (drag), but it was eating tires because of aero imbalance in the corners. As recently as last week, Hamilton was being widely praised for his "tire management" skills. I guess he got stupid...in one week.

Of course, all the experts here see this 2nd as an accomplishment...I guess you guys got "participation" trophies when you were kids.

Only two more races with W14 AKA frankenstein.

 

The best part about Lewis' ranting about his poor 2nd best car is the Red Bull really isn't all that much better. He can have a car equal or slightly better than Red Bull, and he will still be 3 or more tenths off Max.

 

And Hamilton is neck-and-neck with one of the Red Bull drivers in the WDC.

The clear "performance gap" isn't Red Bull versus Mercedes ... it's Verstappen versus everyone else in the field.

 

You're not fooling nobody. The RB is way above the feild. I never seen a #2 driver in a top car perform as bad as Perez and he would still win the championship in it, minus Max. Which means you can drive like Latyfi in it and still beat all other manufactures.
