He doesn't give a shit about his number 2, on DTS everything is Max Max Max every season, his radio message to Sergio at the end of the race was like 'meh yeah you did good I guess'.
Hilarious reading this thread and watching @mariachi-19 have a total Lewis inspired meltdown. It’s rare you see someone lose their shit so hard because the hate is that strong. Rare but hilarious.
Complete numpties aside, I am delighted to see Ferrari excelling. LeClerc is top drawer. Great performance from both the Merc drivers again today, considering the problems of the car. Keeping Merc in the constructors race and both sitting above paper champ Verstappen in the standings, despite having a shit car this season.
If Merc can sort their problems out, and make the car competitive, they’ll be so grateful for these hard fought early points. I can’t see them gaining a second though, maybe half a second at most.
The ideal scenario is a three way title battle between Ferrari, RBR and Merc, but sensibly speaking we can really only expect the Red Bull to be competitive to Ferrari, if they can sort out their reliability issues. At this rate MV and RBR are going to need more favours from the FIA to defend his “title”.
It’s nice to see another name other than Merc at the top of the pile, and I couldn’t be happier that it’s the grand old lady of the sport to be the one to end the Merc dominance. Such a beautiful car too.

Of all things that have happened so far this season, Sainz having a pretty rough time in comparison to Leclerc is probably the most surprising to me.
Early days yet and Leclerc is better anyway etc. aside but thought it would be more even somewhat.

I was always surprised that Sainz was in a Ferrari. He didn’t impress as much as Norris in the Mclaren and he just seems to be a safe no.2 driver at best. Leclerc isn’t just better in my opinion, but streets ahead
After catching up on near 10 pages of rubbish in this thread, I'm so glad I got to the end to read this. Top marks sir
Watching last few laps of indy car race in Long Beach.
Grosjean is doing well.
Grosjean is doing well.
Unfortunately no one other than Max can get near Charles and if it keeps on going the way it is, he's going to dominate we'll have a boring season.
Sooner or later Mick Schmacher is going to be in a ferrari, sainz is doing a terrible job at present. Mick just needs to impress this season and it will leave ferrari with a not so tough decision.
On a sidenote, Ted's Notebook on Sky, he mentioned that Ferrari PU is up 10kw on the Mercedes PU.
Finally got to watch the GP in full this evening. Was genuinely suprised at how well the Mercedes were doing. The car is a dog at the moment but they are 2nd in the constructors table.
Leclerc's ferrari was so far off in the distance even when max was on the track. That suprised me as well. Imola is effectively a home race for Ferrari so leclerc could stretch his lead even further in 2 weeks time.
Mate, if I’m gonna get called a racist, you better believe I’m going to defend myself.
Perhaps calling people “numpties” should be directed at posters who seems to think that because you oppose another teams driver, it’s because of the colour of his skin, not his unlikeable personality.
Yes, he’s relentlessly wrong.
I don’t think Carlos is doing a terrible job but he’s a no.2 driver.
I agree about Mick and its obvious why they went for Carlos and not Danny Ric.
Mick Schumacher won’t upset the pineapple cart. He’s a consummate professional so you won’t get internal fighting from his side of the garage. If he does become the equal of Charles, it’ll be easy for Ferrari to deal with.
And Ferrari is bringing a big upgrade package as well as upping the engine output
I dont think it is harsh luck for Max.Lots of close following but not many passes today. Probably not a reg change that can happen anytime soon.
Leclerc and Ferrari looking unstoppable.
Harsh luck for Max with 2 DNFs in 3 races
Albon and Williams get their point. Nicely done.
His team have broken all tradition and decided to manufacture their own engine. I'm not saying they won't be successful at this, but to get it right first time without problems to solve would actually be very lucky.
Maxterisk! I see what you did there.Lewis and Russell both above Maxterisk in the championship
When you realise Max isn't your WDC rival
It's funny to see the anti Hamilton fans making him out to be a moaning and awful personality - I've introduced 3 people to F1 in the last year who come in with 0 historical knowledge or bias and they always say 'Hamilton is so gracious, he always congratulates other people before himself, always talks 'we' instead of 'me' and seems humble' but then you look in this thread and people are acting like he has the worst attitude on the grid.
I knew the name but not the nationality. Cut me some slack, guy.
Yes please. Give me that boring season
It’s very true. Hamilton has always been very gracious, especially in defeat. I think that rubs his detractors up the wrong way. Hamilton is a victim of his own success. When you win as much as he has, you get a target on your back for a fringe hate squad. It always happens. But he’s one of the true gentlemen of the grid. It particularly happens with Verstappen fans, most likely because he is one the most poorly behaved ungracious drivers out there, fronted by the odious Horner. Deep down they know it, and it rankles with them, so to even the playing field they jump on anything and everything Hamilton says and try and make a mountain out of it. It’s desperate stuff.
Self awareness is such a rare trait these days.
Why are Hamilton fans so desperate for other fans to like him?
They're not. But if people can't back up why they dislike Hamilton then they'll receive pushback.
Who do Hamilton haters just make up shit that's demonstrably false to justify it?
I for one hope red bull can sort out their engine reliability as I'd love to see a repeat of this
Desperate stuff. We aren’t talking about me, we are talking about Hamilton. State of you.
we just want you to know him like we know him. those of us with kids and that were lucky enough to be at silverstone in 2013 will remember the hours hamilton spent trying to suckle our young. most parents had given up and taken their kids away from him long after the 3 hour mark but hamilton stayed, determined to get just a drop of milk out of his dry teats. in the end he had sponsorship commitments and he had to give up but i’m sure if that lady from tag heuer hadn’t have turned up, he would have attempted a successful latch long into the night.
contrast that with verstappen, who looked at me like i was mental when i asked him to wet nurse my son at zandvoort last year.

Typical Max that and again lucky Hamilton that Mrs tag heuer shows up to hand him another easy victory.
@Rado_N This punk bitch is 100% hated around here, an absolute long, fat, slime dripping, sticky, slug.I can't believe I am supporting French driver.
Nick, If your name was any different they would hate you here
(Sorry)

What in the name of god is this
(Love it though)
lay off him. it’s a small country and not many people have encountered a monaconese person in real life.
I think Sainz is an excellent driver. But he wouldn’t be the first to not be able to handle the pressure that comes with knowing you’ve got a car capable of being a world championship car. So in some ways I am surprised, in others I’m not. It’s still early doors though and he’s definitely had the run of bad luck. Hopefully he settles and keeps the prancing horse firmly ahead of RB and Mercedes, but I think his shot at the title is gone because, logically, Ferrari will favour Le Clerc now.
This was one of your worse posts.
Isn’t it Monocench? Thought I’d join in with the bad jokes
I think the reality is there has been a huge shift in him. Several years ago, he absolutely did come across as arrogant. And there’s plenty of factual evidence to suggest he was. But in the last few years, he has really become a role model in the sport and beyond, and definitely much likeable. The people who continue to call him arrogant and unlikeable generally have anchored to their view and unable to shake their bias to asses him objectively anymore.
Do you know whom are the best fans??? Leclerc fans
And can I also just add that this thread can be such a joke.
Max retired and Lewis did nothing of note, other than moan for 10 seconds on the radio, and somehow this thread depends into chaos. It’s a joke honestly.

For males surely it's gotta be "monocoque"!?
I like Charles but they should just play the Italian anthem twice whenever he wins in my opinion.
