FFS Lewis.

He had a phenomenal run of success (seven world titles, six of them in a seven year spell), but his best days are a distant memory now. Whether the move to Ferrari will bring an upturn in his fortunes, only time will tell. There seems to be quite a few people questioning if it's the right move for him.

I don't blame him at all for rolling the dice. At this stage in his career, why not.

*8 world titles
 
Schumacher’s career petered out at Mercedes.
Vettel’s at Aston Martin.
It’s the way of the world.

I’m not even a Hamilton fanboy. Long standing McLaren fan but Button was always my favourite driver, now I’m rooting for Norris.

Hamilton would’ve won that race comfortably had the rules been applied. He was cheated and should be given that 8th world title.

Like it or not (and I have no strong feelings either way), Verstappen officially won that race and, consequently, the title. Did he and his team pull a fast one that evening? Yes;it seems that way. Would Mercedes and Wolff have done the same thing if the roles were reversed? Almost definitely. But I get your earlier post now. You think I'm a RB fanboy. You couldn't be more wrong. I don't have much time for either MV or LH. To me, they both come across as arrogant ****s. I'd love to see someone like Norris win the title. Or even Ricciardo, though the "Jack Nicholson Joker" permanent smile can get a bit tedious after a while. Or maybe Perez. Though I guess any of them are unlikely to do so in the near future.

He's only won seven, unless you're stating the 2021 title was unfairly won by Verstappen as the Abu Dhabi race result should have been scrapped, in which case let me introduce you to Singapore 2008, which result should also have been scrapped, resulting in Massa being crowned champion, not Lewis, ergo if you're saying he "should" have won in '21, he should NOT have won in 2008.

TL:DR stop being petty, Max was the champion in 2021 and nothing will change that. Get over it, it's boring now.

Tbh mate I've no idea who you support, was just a bit of a throwaway comment.

Fair point about Massa.

He had several tough cards dealt to him through his career.

I saw a flaw in the new sprint format today.

Hamilton wouldn't have given up his place so easily if he wasn't thinking about protecting the car for qualification for the GP.

Normally he'd have at least blocked Max once rather than let him through.

I friggin hate the 'sprint' races concept.

It's bad enough there being 23+ races a year. It's oversaturation to me, I prefered when the race weekends were an event, not treated like a PL game.

It's the creeping Americanisation of the sport sadly.

At one point the drivers will say enough. More races means less recovery downtime for teams and their crews.

Something will break eventually.

It's Verstappen who is going to be one of the best drivers ever and the car! I think if Hamilton Verstappen were in the same cars now Verstappen would win more just because Hamilton is older reactions just a fraction lower!
