I disagree respectfully. Leclerc did a good job in Monaco but all you have to do there is qualify well and hold position - Piastri was within a second for most the race. I would say Leclerc is a peaky driver, the peak is high but he is not the most consistent driver. Lewis is a consistent driver and the level is high. The fact that that Merc has been so bad in this regulation and George is better than people give him credit for has made Lewis seem like he is falling off. I guess we will see how Lewis stacks up against Leclerc, i am just happy that Lewis will be in faster machinery and will possibly have a chance to win anouther WDC.

I think Lauda’s passing has hurt the Broken Arrow more than Toto will ever admit.

As a dutchman I love to listen to your analyses. The way you speak and choose your words are exceptional. I am a fan!

Vettel was a brilliant shooting star. Hamilton is a planet-sized talent. I'm sure he's lost a bit physically, but mentally, LeClair is no match.

Tbh he is 40 years old, I wasnt expecting him to outqualify Russell or Leclerc, I mean look at ALonso the gap between him and Stroll last year compared to this year is night and day, not many people are this great at 40 years old. Lewis believes nobody can outrace him on race day which I can somewhat agree, but in this era of non-overtaking and dirty air means his skills cant be put on full display like his McLaren days with a smaller car. Lewis can beat Charles to a championship, but it cannot be 7-1 in qualifying if he wants to have the best chance, also the gap to Russell is probably 0.1 anyway so I dont think it is a cause for concern.

I think people are over analysing [t]his with not enough information except to speculate about what may or not be happening bts at Mercedes. If Lewis is “disadvantaged” “disregarded” “disrespected” or whatever is going on behind the scenes but in lap time is only a tenth or 2 in quali pace (which could = out in q2) but is as quick and often quicker on race pace, then what are we to expect when he goes to a team where he won’t be disadvantaged, disregarded or disrespected? I’m a simple man just looking at the math.

@@mikaelbiilmann6826 yup, I’d expect Charles to have the incumbent advantage early on similar to when Lew joined Nico at Mercedes where, initially, he lacked confidence under braking before routinely sticking it on pole. However, I’m baffled at the expectation that Charles will “destroy “ him when he’s never exactly destroyed Carlos [??]. But we’ll see. Edit: unlike the differences between Charles and Carlos on setup preferences, I’d expect Lew and Charles to have similar preferences which often simplify things somewhat for engineers.

Didn't Lewis beat Charles last season in a worst car? George Russell was driving a cabbage before he went to Mercedes, his car is much better, while Lewis's car is a lot worse. We saw how unstable the car is in Australia, so should Lewis risk his life when George is the one with everything to prove? Charles has won a total of 6 races since joining F1, and Lewis has won 103, and 4 of those in his rookie year! If I was Lewis, I'd drive out the rest of the season and conserve everything for Ferrari. Verstappen remains the only driver capable of challenging Hamilton, provided he has the right car.

I understand your concern, but no one has a crystal ball. We don't know what's going to happen. That's sports. Maybe Lewis will surprise us positively. I wouldn't write him off just yet. We don't have to feel sorry for any F1 driver. They were able to make their dream come true. Very few men are allowed to drive in F1 and be surrounded by luxury. In a world that is on fire, we should reflect on this more often.

Actually I really do wear blue tinted lenses

When Charles stood on his car are ROARED, it sent chills down my spine. Why? Because I heard the unbridled passion of a killer. He has what it takes to be a World Champ. Lewis joining Ferrari is going to be amazing. But I fear it’s going to be the most toxic pairing in recent F1 history. Why? 1. Ferrari is Charles’ shop. His win this weekend solidified it even more. Lewis may initially understand this and play along, but he is also a killer. A Master Assassin. He’ll want to eventually dominate, both on and off the track. 2. Lewis’ presence will push Charles to his Ultra Limit. The zone beyond zones. 3. Charles’ presence will push Lewis to his Shadow Limit. The zone beyond the Ultra, only accessible by true Grand Masters in their time of need. The next few years are going to be epic. We will witness Hamilton-Rosberg esque rivalry once again. With McLaren and Red Bull all in the mix. The stallion that is Ebony, will rear up on its hind legs within a field of golden daffodils. And we will all bear witness.

Nothing beats Father Time and Lewis is no exception. It is what it is. I don't see him winning another title, but at least he can end off his career on a higher note than what he's been going through at Mercedes since '22.

Never underestimate Ferrari's ability to shoot themselves in the foot. I fear they've already loaded the chamber in hiring Lewis to pair with Charles. I worry that Hamilton's addition will split the garage. They'll work at odds against each other for team leadership and cancel out each other on the track for any championship hopes.

Just want to see Hamilton enjoy racing again with a car that can compete at the front. I think that is guaranteed at Ferrari.

I am a major max fan but i don't think leclerc would beat easely lewis , cause Charles is not always but often to nervous and i aspect that he under pressure could make more mistakes

I think Lewis wants to end his career with some air of respect & wash all of the Mercedes taste from his palate. To be blunt, he doesn't see that path @ Mercedes with what they have provided (car wise mainly) for his last remaining years in F1. Being stuck in this 6th, 7th, 8th place purgatory loop w/ Russell (& Toto) is not how he envisions the "end" of his legendary stint in the sport. One of his many attributes is an acute savvy about knowing when to move on from a dying team (i.e. Mclaren & now it appears Mercedes). I can't be inside his head of course, but I believe it isn't necessarily championship #8 but to be overall competitive on the grid again. To compete for if not win poles again, to compete for if not be on podiums again. Ferrari gives him that potential path to at least retire with his dignity & be in the championship conversation. This being stated doesn't mean it will be smooth sailing..@ least not right away.

Lewis will have to adapt to Ferrari and its ways first. If he does this and build great repoire with the team, he will be exceptional. If Ferrari is indecisive on treating both drivers equally and favours Charles (i think unlikely) then Lewis might struggle. I believe he will thrive in that red car

But how can we even compare Lewis with Charle come on guys they arent even in the league just coz Charle is now doing well the question is for how long can he do it consitently.

Cam last week you more or less called Leclerc rubbish, and now this week, Lewis is not going to match Leclerc? And I'll never understand Alonso who has not won a title since 2006 or a race since 2013, and older than Lewis, being praised for his levels in F1, but Lewis who has won a multitude of titles and races since 2007 is constantly put down? Max is in form, but we saw an inform dominate driver qualify behind George at Monaco because his car finally didn't suit the track and handle like a Mercedes. You need a car in F1 to perform, end of story. Lewis being in a crap car for 2-3 season does not diminish all he has achieved or what he is still capable of. When Lewis is in a great car, flipping up that is when we can start judging his capabilities. Also, wasn't it just 2023 Lewis nearly came 2nd in the WDC standings in a car worse than the Ferrari's, Fia DSQ him in a race that helped with points for Perez too. 2023 drive in a bad car is the exact same reason Fred went after Lewis.

Why haven't and of these incredible drivers won more races. How many races have these drivers won. Not many is the answer. Oh but they don't have the car to win !! Strangely when it comes to LH that argument is thrown out the window. Let's wait and see.

What a sad state if Lewis never gets the 8th. Think the world would come to a stand still and would be a great ending the the movie if He did it. Must be millions waiting for it. Lewis has one thing that all the other driver haven't got. Unfinished business from being robbed.

I hear you but I challenge you on these two points: 1) Fernando Alonso. He is older yet he is just as skilled on the track if not more so! Lewis is younger and trains harder if not harder. 2) it’s not his physical skill that’s the problem, it’s his mental state that worries me. There is only so much mental abuse a person can take. And since 2021 it has been consistent, year over year. The one place thought he could call home. Where he thought he had a safe harbor have SCREWED him royally. Tell me how would you handle it. And yes I firmly believe Merc is sabotaging him. Now as to the solution: LH needs to become cutthroat. He has to realize he is under siege with no allies. He has to move to a take no prisoners mentality; call his own strategy, improve his qualifying positions and do everything possible to put and keep Russell behind him. You are very right about momentum he needs to to get it behind him and force Merc to expose themselves with blatant sabotaging of his car.

Another thing F1 fans don't seem to understand is the differences in a set up for Quali and a set up for the race. Quali set will make the driver faster over one lap, but then finds his tyes go away in the race. Race set up will make a driver slower over one lap but then his tyres last longer in the race. Guess which one probably applies to George and Lewis, it is not rocket science.

I am a F1 fan and like Lewis. The thing is Lewis is no longer in the merc mode. He must just go. Take a break and kick Charles ass next year.

Cameron gave Alonso credit for stuff he could potentially do but can't spends the same energy nailing 44 at every corner. And boy does Cameron dig deep. The recentcy bias is amazing. Didn't hear much about this last season did we? And now on the verge of his move to Ferrari all you do is try and find everything to discredit him (even validating 2021). And Cameron expects us to believe he's a fan...give me a break! Glad I'm not a subscrber to this channel. Was drawn here only by Peter Windsor. My mistake!!!

Lewis will need to drive a tank based on his driving into other racers on a regular basis.

Max verstappen, charles leclere, Oscar piastri, Lando Norris etc al... I don't think this is just about leclere, or quali, for Hamilton... The above drivers are ALL very good, and quite a bit younger, and hungry for wins! He will have to consistently beat,( or at least get podiums and wins) these lads every race, over a long season. LH is still a very good driver with tons of experience, and is one of the greatest, no doubt about that. However I do agree.. it's a tall order to get that "elusive 8th championship, at his age , against the above mentioned drivers. "Father Time" will tell?

Thumbs up. Black and white communication makes our brain interpret information as being aggressive more easily, and so I say the following anyway with a big chance it being read as negative and to be dismissed that, something has gotten to him. This happens all the time. He's bigger, better and more important in his own mind. And I don't say this out of spite, its sad really to see one thing and hear the other. I respected the man and his race craft, then I respected his race craft and now I'm not to sure about either. I'm really curious how building with DEI in mind is going to help Ferrari too. Ya'll introduced this, not me. I just want racing and girls in spandex back in the pit.

Lewis will have to completely adjust his driving style, Ferrari notoriously has a completely different mechanical vision than other teams on the grid (front suspension). It's way more fragile than a Merc too.

Mercs mechanical vision the past few years has been rattling and slow however.

The quickest qualifier is Max to my knowledge not Charles, oh right its about the car 😂

Since you've mentioned 2014 Lewis, I'd like to remind you that Nico outqualified Lewis many times in 2014 and won the qualifying battle actually but Lewis still won most of those races and ultimately the championship. A hungry Lewis is a dangerous lewis. I fully expect Charles to outqualify him. Father time waits for noone and Lewis has not been particularly impressive in qualifying for many years now. He sometimes criticizes himself for it. But to beat him on a Sunday when a championship is on the line is the big test for Leclerc imo. We shall see. I pray that the Ferrari keeps improving and we have something to fight for in 2025.

Wow, Cameron you’re my guy and I believe talking about what we agree on is important I also think what we don’t agree on is also as important. I agree “Father Time Is Undefeated” however my feeling is that Lewis is done with Mercedes. He’s accomplished so much that I think he doesn’t see the need to spank George. He will have a need to test himself against Charles who is more accomplished and the guy at Ferrari. Mercedes has failed to deliver and so as he goes, he just has to get done with this. Do I believe he can turn it on at Ferrari ? No not right away. He didn’t turn it on right away at Mercedes either. Remember they were an upstart..he left the venerable McLaren Team…for a rebranded Mercedes squad. He’s a competitor…and given the equipment he needs you will see him out front again. If Alonso is a measuring stick I think Lewis will be ok against Charles..remember this is the same Charles who’s teammate over the last few seasons has pushed him and Carlos is a good driver he’s not Lewis not even now. So, I don’t think what you are saying doesn’t have merit I just think time will show us the way. Next season is exciting….change is about…

He wants a fresh start, not getting too familiarised with the Merc in prep of the Ferrari drive may actually make sense. I think he’ll be fine, as long as the ability to adapt is there he’ll warm up fairly quickly. Like you said, motorsport is different.

You paint a dark Picture here, but let me ask you this, what Multi Championship driver wants to race for 7th or even 6th on a good day? no matter what Lewis does or even George they ain´t getting in the top 5.

Also the Merc was designed and developed to suit Lewis, and George just had to live with it. Now, as Lewis is going round, implying the same thing, I think that the teams need to pay closer attention to driving style of their drivers. It would be interesting to see who Ferrari favours...

With the only difference being the car to utilise it. George has been underrated for a long time. He’s shown before when he has a good car. He’s unstoppable. George didn’t only defeat his competitors on the way to F1. He annihilated them. Including Lando Norris. In F2, not only did he win by 68 points. He also set the record for the points scored in an F2 season. Ever. Which means George was more successful in F2 than Charles Leclerc or Oscar Piastri were in their winning seasons. And it was against not one, but two F1 drivers (Lando Norris & Alex Albon). That point being, that George is as capable as Leclerc. At a minimum. And if Lewis can’t defeat George. There’s no guarantee for Lewis when he’s teammates with Charles.

Agreed, if Lewis is to beat Charles it would have to be in race pace not qualifying. Guys like Lewis, Max and Fernando are better race pace drivers than quali drivers.

Mercedes TEAM Monaco qualifications were puzzling. I picked LEC and Ham for my fantasy F1 drivers. Both HAM and RUS hit a ceiling and did not progress in Q3 unlike Ferrari and Mclaren drivers. I believe there was actually more speed available in LEC's Ferrari, also 81 Piastri out qualified team mate Lando (Nandone) Norris. Difficult race for RB

Don't be so quick to write Lewis off!! I believe he has a lot in reserve as it is my intuition telling me he has been conserving his energy!!

I don't agree. Vettle, not Vetelle, had a lot more strenghts than one lap speed. He was simply much quicker than Webber and Raikkonen, a great overtaker, very good rain driver, very good at maximalizing from unexpected situations, especially good at snatching victories. He had weaknesses too, the main one being a rather narrow window of car balance he could be special with. He's not the most all round best driver but very ''being one with the car" dependent. Hamilton's speed might start to fade, but when did that happen first? In 2022 or 2021? Or in 2018, 2016? Maybe 2008? Didn't Bottas loose his mojo in 2022 too? I don't think it's fair to claim he is suddenly washed while all the facts point at a revaluation of how good the Mercedes was for a uniquely long era and how special Hamilton was. Many people have said let's see what he can do without a supreme car, and now he could but doesn't it's because he's getting old? That's not fair.

As much as I admire Lewis Hamilton, we have to be realistic. Lewis is now 39 years and 6 months old, nearing 40. No matter how much we might want to make excuses, age inevitably affects performance. Lewis was at his peak in 2021, but unfortunately, Mercedes has spent the last three years with a subpar car. Lewis has shown remarkable loyalty to Mercedes, but I recognize that the team seems to be prioritizing George, which might leave Lewis feeling isolated and undervalued. I hope this situation doesn't affect him psychologically as the 2021 season did. Lewis will always be celebrated as the greatest of all time, but we can only wait for next year and hope that Charles doesn’t out class him on what remains of his illustrious career. If I were Lewis, I would stop testing the car and focus on setting it up to suit his style, as it feels like Mercedes has sidelined him. Unfortunately, those three years wasted with Mercedes can't be regained. But let’s see 😊 perhaps there is a second coming????

Dear Cameron Valentino Rossi was a MotoGP genius. Sadly as his 40s arrived he couldn’t get to the front anymore. He even gave his works bike away knowing he wasn’t competitive. Lewis is the same.

I hear you Cam but you are forgetting he said something of the sort that he knows he automatically be 2 tenths down on his team mate also. That doesn’t sound like he’s saying he’s just slow because of his driving. More like his car is slower than his teammates

Apples and Oranges are irrelevant Lewis is a dried up prune. Rossi was too old to compete and Lewis is too old to compete and is blocking the chance of a younger enthusiastic driver from coming through. Shame on him and his greed.

F1 fans are a fickle bunch with recency bias turned full on, even at the brst of times. For all Lewis has achieved, he is an exceptional driver, but he will now and always will get trounced by an average driver in a great car. They don't spend all that money on the cars for no reason. Its when the car is average that the truly great (and still motivated) drivers can make the difference. Lewis did this many times in a realitively slow McLaren before he switched to Mercedes. But a few years knowing you can dawdle around and pick up a win has taken its toll. Like many of the greats, Lewis doesn't have that killer instinct anymore, its now all conspiracy theories and double crosses. Mentally every great champion goes through this, they cant accept any lack of ability and blame everyone around them. They are always the best in theor own minds.

Lewis to Ferrari was a money grab for both Lewis and Ferrari. How this was botched is crazy. But then again Ferrari makes crazy decisions all the time. I've been saying this since '21. Age has caught Lewis. Ask Schumacher. Lewis words and attitude says it all.

It's not Lewis's fault, your mate Toto keeps turning down his engine in qualy

You can go way for a year and then preform. Look at Nico Hulkenburg

With their overtake and boost buttons I hope Lewis stays at 7WDC. Not sure I could take the GOAT talk if we was ever to get 8. The drivers of yesterday’s era deserve the respect I have to give, not the modern day drivers.

This channel is suddenly becoming as toxic as reading toxic Hamilton fans on reddit. I can’t imagine the videos if Mercedes has gifted Hamilton position to Russell in Imola (oh shit, don’t talk about it, they did the exact opposite in that race!) 🤫

This comment is so toxic, even a Geiger meter starts to crackle out of control 😂😂😂

Why do you say that Charles is the quickest driver, when max has beaten him 90% of the time. It’s been going on since the karting days.

Allow me to clarify once and for all, Lewis is done as a championship winning driver ... he may win an odd race here and there but that's about it

Not convinced about the age thing. Let's wait till Hamilton goes to Ferrari. Mercedes are clearly focused on Russell, and why would they not be if he is going to lead the team post Lewis. Lewis is not done yet. Chill everyone. He will re-establish himself at Ferrari.

Lewis is coming to Ferrari to win one more title. I don't think Lewis will get in the way of Charles if Charles has success. He has a lot of sportsmanship and knows how to lift when he has to. If Charles is fighting for a drivers cup, yea Lewis will not just let him win. However I do see the sportsmanship in Lewis to celebrate his teammate success. He knows he is coming to Ferrari as a Sensei not an apprentice 🤷🏾‍♂️

Objectivity is the word.

Lewis can careless. He already achieved everything he needed and now it all about building network and empire.

who in his right mind thought that mercedes would be up there forever . it just never hapends , redbull is up there but they will come down and mclaren or someone else will rise . stop blaming the teams that sink as if they do something wrong or are amateurs , especialy when you sitting at home with your average skills and average life like almost all of us . its nothing to blame , its a given it will hapen as a cycle

I don't think Lewis is going to Ferrari expecting to be the number one driver. I think he's going there knowing that it's Charles team and that Charles will always be favored. Just like Sainz now knows. (No matter how well Sainz drives or how many races he wins, that was always Charles team.) I think Lewis knows he's at the end of his career and wanted to get as much as he could deal-wise before he retires, and Ferrari offered him all those things. I truly don't believe he's going there expecting to win a championship. I think the reason why Lewis is annoyed that Russel is being favored over him is because Mercedes has always been HIS team. They've won 7 championships together. I think being shut out and relegated to the #2 driver in his own team, while knowing that when he goes to Ferrari he'll be #2 driver to Charles, that's what's triggering those forlorn and uncharacteristic comments from him. He probably feels like he's in limbo between the two teams right now, while knowing that his best days on the grid are behind him.

rediscover his love for F1!!! he will not out qualify Charles barring mistakes from Charles

Hamilton used to get out qualified by Bottas who is not exactly the top tier of the field lol. Leclerc is considered to be the best in raw 1 lap pace, and is his prime versus Lewis who is nearly 40. 7-1 Quali against Russell, won’t be much different against Charles.

Cameron. Lewis was done with Merc after Abu Dhabi and they not standing up for him. The reason Ferrari have signed him is PR and to give Charles the information to get championships. If he proves to be better all round than Charles he will be given the opportunity for no 8. One thing is for sure if you are Max your not leaving till you are crowned 8 or 9 titles. His father would have instilled this winners attitude. As for this season the Mercedes story is small potatoes. There's no such thing as too much swagger

A little bit amnesia from commentators. People are acting like he didn't beat him last year. Leclerc will beat him in qualifying. He's beaten Max too despite Max being in the better car.

well spoken man.

1st - George is a better qualifier than 99% of the racing field, he proved that in the Williams, When he outqualified teams he was not supposed to. 2nd Hamilton is excluded from briefs and upgrade technology, something which is new to him with Merc and even when you receive a tool you must know how it works. 3rd George reward, is beating Hamilton, Hamiltons reward is nothing compared to risk. 4th Hamilton races with passion and purpose, purpose is there but passion for a car and a team that cannot deliver desolved his passion - (8th) Championship ) That is difficult. He will do his Job !!, he Is consistently faster than George in race Pace, but the risk needed in qualifying is not equal to reward, 6th 7th place grid for him That is not driving passion.. George will risk everything to out qualify Hamilton. To risk everything to Out qualify George brings no reward. People would just say George is slow. Hamilton is methodical in his risk to reward racing. That is always how he has driven. If that Ferrari is competitive to win, the risk for reward is there and the championship is Everything. Reward is not out qualifying it's winning races, the passion purpose and performance come together.

I really don't think it matters now... Lewis knows that the field has changed.. politics have been enforced. I believe Lewis now is just looking to depart with a clear mind and the reason for him to say what he has about being out qualified by George is because of fabrication and playing favourites within mercedes and things like that can be done very easily within this techy error.I believe Lewis can walk away and retire even without that 8 th championship with a clear mind.

Alonso also looking well past his sell by date 😂

Lewis wont get his 8th title and I think he realises that as much as he does not want to believe it. When world titles were won by drivers in late 30s the average age of drivers in the field were in their 30s, they werent pulling 4 to 5 Gs consistently and they didnt have to push 80kgs plus on the brake pedal just to get them to work. For Ferrari Lewis is a big name signing that is there to add value and no more. The car has been developed around Leclerc and that will continue. This is Lewis swan song and he knows it but he will publicly say he's after his 8th title.

Never underestimate experience likewise F1 business can be a cynical business. My bet is on lewis to out perform charles next year.

Ferrari is where past champions get put out to pasture. Charles will utterly destroy Lewis next year just like he did with Seb.

Hamilton will win a world championship at Ferrari just watch he cba with Mercedes cause they don’t respect him anymore just watch

Cameron you really think it is possible to beat Charles Lecler and Max Verstappen naaahhh that’s wishful thinking

Really sad to see that people like u blindly follow lewis. Where were ur tears and all these blogs for botas when he was made second. Now lewis in that place people are all up in arm “oh poor lewis”

Leclerc and Hamilton, both superfast pilots and both being, probably, the two worst race reader pilots on the grid, together with Ferrari strategy team... it's going to be funny...

Come on Dude, you intentionally ignoring George Russell pace. You remember Mr Saturday right at Williams. Now you criticising Hamilton nearly 40 being a couple of tenths off George. And I'm sure aware of the, he ain't feeling it right now so why all out. YOUVE said that. Sorry Dude but your all over place when it comes Hamilton. Trying to figure you out. Like are you trolling Hamilton fan's. To end from my knowledge Hamilton tends to start of seasons slowly, you writing him off already is bang out-of order. What was the qualifying score between Russell and Hamilton over last 2 year's. You giving mixed vibes Man. Simples.

Why is it sooop good when rb don’t win 😂 Did rb fans feel like this through the merc era? I think ultimately we are all F1 fans first … just Lewis has been so much more than an F1 driver and I don’t think any one on the grid at the moment as any where near his rock star presence! I mean Lewis is making excuses for sure … but max of late … with a car that was nearly a second over every one has thrown his entire team and car under the bus the past three races?

What Charles did wasn’t impressive actually lol😂! This was the easiest race to win! No one can pass you! Not even Max can make the Mercedes win or go faster! Last point being good at qualifying doesn’t mean you are good at race craft and tire management! Charles still makes little mistakes when it comes to racing over a long period of time! At one point Carlos was destroying Charles this year and now he wins one of the easiest races and you guys want to crown him as the greatest driver on the grid! Having the best car is the most important thing in formula one!

Ahoy, I think that if Lewis Hamilton tastes the blood of a possible 8th world title, miracles can happen. The invisible force that can only arise at that moment. Cameron, don't give up yet, where there is life there is hope. BELIEVE!

Exactly this. If past is prologue.....

Truth is one thing, but objectively you're missing an important mark. How long did it take Max to get to WDC winniong ways, knowing he was fast (thus knowing the car wasn't there)? Longer than that microscopical slump that Mercedes is now in. Mercedes car is slowly getting there again, so perhaps they have their things in order before end of season (took McLaren a year as well). Then you'd be talking about 3 years (meaning McLaren is about 7 months ahead of you and I really don't know whtat to think of Ferrari)...and still everyone is screeching. So I'd say you're overly defending Lewis for the most tepid pushback he now finally has seen throughout his career because his car isn't there (he has had more pushback in other areas, but that is beyond this statement).

Charles will thrash smarmy why doesn't smarmy just leave F1

Hamilton lead Q1 & a solid Q2 before Merc slowed him down to see Russell beat him in Q3. The race was a Sh1t show.

Cameron you should stop watching Rupert Murdoch "news papers" and channels! If you a intelligent guy just explain to me why Mercedes would destroy Lewis legacy! Because Lewis said so? Do you have any idea why the call Lewis a narcissistic crybaby!
