Hamilton doesn’t like quick team mates , don’t forget
Erm - like Alonso who he beat in his rookie year? Rosberg who he beat 3 out of 4 seasons and drove the guy to retirement? Button who he beat 2 out of 3 seasons?
Anyway it’s different this time. George is at the start of his career and Lewis at the end ….. but LH has thrived on challenges his whole career and isn’t exactly gonna change now.
Especially in the middle of a triple header. This obviously puts him out of Monza too.
Its understandable as well that Kubica gets the drive, but its equally disappointing that Callum Ilott isnt available this weekend now.
Yeah the one weekend Ilott isn't there and is racing GTs , it happens. Be interesting if he's retained for next year as he's doing a one off in Indycar in a couple of weeks.
He has overtaken on a red but he'd have had to drop from near on top speed to hardly anything within a second.
Annoying as I'd love him to get a 5 place grid pen but that'd be very harsh.
But Norris got a pen at Baku for making a split second decision at the pit entrance. I know it’s not exactly the same, but you take my point. The red flag rules are very harsh, but you can see why. It’s a bit unfair, but you could argue it’s more unfair if MV doesn’t get penalised when Lando did.

Yeah, the lando penalty was a farce. I think they said he was doing about 100mph more than Stroll. Even if he slammed on the brakes to try to come to a complete stop I think he'd have probably gone past him.
It's the right call in isolation but as you say, they have set precedence. Hopefully his engine will blow during Q1 on his first outlap to make up for it.
Mazepin. Seriously, get this guy out of f1. Absolute amateur. Disregarding that he fucked another driver’s qualification, the fact is he’s a danger to himself and others.
Latifi suddenly trying to show that he deserves the second Williams seat next year - He's done very well since Hungary
I don’t think he’s bad, personally.
It’s just that Russell is so much better than him, so he looks worse than he is. He’s no world beater, but there have been plenty worse drivers than Latifi in f1.

I agree - He gets flack as he's another pay driver (So is Lando Norris to an extent, so was Niki Lauda) but dont think he'd be any worse than Stroll - But think he deserves to be kept by the team for another year.

Yes - he didn’t like any of them
Rosberg is the only one I would place in that category. The rest he has always got on well with and that info is from the horses mouth so to speak

Oh come on. You were clearly trying to suggest he doesn’t like having a fast teammate challenging him, not that he didn’t like them personally.
The constant Hamilton bashing amongst f1 fans is really getting tiresome. He’s arguably the greatest of all time. The way people diminish his achievements is absurd.

The only thing I can't agree with on that is adding the word 'arguably'.

Grid Penalty incoming at his home Grand Prix - What a shame

I agree with cafcpolo, dont think he should get penalised for that - Common sense has prevailed
😉

Occasionally I get the feeling (like today) that he's going to out qualify Russell
but then the latter just does a Russell!!
He’s no world beater, but there have been plenty worse drivers than Latifi in f1.
Looked like he was potentially getting up to 6th (temporarily) with that effort
Unless he's just done it deliberately to ensure that Russell gets P11
🙄
