    Absolutely..... noise levels go to maximum whenever Elton does well; on his off days, it’s like a peaceful, tranquil lake around here, barely a ripple.

    I’m impressed by the restraint exercised with LeClerc by tifosi. At the weekend he slaughtered all of them, Seb, Elton, bottles, and drove a very good race. He showed maturity in spades, and the ability to go wheel to wheel without spinning, crashing or crying for his mummy. Yep, some of us are definately behind him, no doubt about that from the posts, but none of us are calling him the second coming of Fangio, or anything like that at all.

    I look forward to the day Elton ****s off, because so will his fair weather fans, and Charles to my mind might just be able to accelerate that day coming

    In my opinion Vettel is still as good or better than Hamilton. Hamilton is very good there is no taking that away, to win you have to be there and he's there all the time. I do think however that Hamilton's superiority is due to Mercedes more than just raw driving talent. When he was at McLaren and the car was good he was in with a chance ...but when the car degraded - he was no where. Vettel on the other hand did well with Torro Rosso and made the most from the Red Bull... I do think the difference was that at Red Bull they entire team was behind Vettel.. where as at Ferrari its not a given. I think Vettel is not as strong in getting the team around him... perhaps as LDM said - too polite. I just sense that Vettel is losing interest, and his comments about F-1 being a show vs. a sport ... he's pretty private, and just does not do well in the spotlight... Hamilton like the spotlight, and thrives with all the attention... I think Vettel not so much.

    regardless I HOPE that Leclerc is the next Ferrari champion, but its still way too early to tell. There have been many drivers that go to Ferrari with Promise... and win early and then just fall flat..... Alboreato, Bergher, Alesi, Irvine, Johannsen, to name a few.

    I tend to agree with this, going back to my earlier comment that something just isn't right in Vettel's head at the moment. I think in his head he can't take losing a position. The same happened to him early on in his career, where he made dumb mistakes when passed or a penalty decision went against him. He can be very, very good...but for whatever reason he feels he has to overperform. It's a long season. He's lucky he got fifth in Bahrain but after Leclerc's issue it really should've been 2nd if not fighting for the lead still if he kept his head longer than taking Lewis the very first corner rather than the first opportunity...

    Verstappen had the same issue....he saw a gap he had to go for it, even if it wasn't exactly the wisest place to try and overtake. He got on top of that and he really matured as a driver last year. Vettel had similar issues before, then got it under control, paid of massively and now he's back making the same stupid mistakes again.

    Bizarre.

    Don’t worry, the only person arguing is the other chap, not sure why he is so aggressively arguing about such things, but hey ho. I couldn’t give a stuff aside from for the chuckles when Elton whines, but thanks for looking it up for him, he’ll be happy now

    Well he has gone quiet now. He can now replay and listen on lap 56 how much of a mental ninja HAM is. F1 need to have a vote for the pacifier award every race weekend. Be interesting to see who wins that the most

    Unhappily for you, Lewis in now irrevocably enshrined in the history of Grand Prix racing and will forever be mentioned (correctly) alongside the likes Ascari, Fangio, Clark, Senna, Schumacher and the other greats - until the planet ceases to spin. I will of course continue to watch the sport after he is gone - and no doubt some other driver or drivers will catch my eye, as always has been the case. :cool:

    Yeah, LeClerc will get six titles, one in his rookie year, and they’ll forget Elton the very day he retires.......... #dreamscometrue. Forza Ferrari

    Correct. Such rides are not the result of a random lottery. They are earned.

    If Lewis will be mentioned as much as Ascari over here then I will be happy. But I fear there will be still a few who try to mention him all the time...

    His cheerleaders won’t stay around once he’s gone, they won’t have anything to talk about, much like when he has a bad race.

    Poor Hamilton haters still betting on Vettel......I asked for proof, and I quote, that Hamilton was "begging" to take fastest lap.

    Where is it? Put up or shut up.

    Hamilton doesn't beg. But Vettel sure does...."he has to give me back the position......"xxxx" Charlie Whiting!"

    Your boy's a loser.

    All true.

    There is a realistic chance that after this season Lewis will move into Vice GOAT position. Even if not, he is sitting comfortably on #3 in the all time best list.
