Re: Hamilton and "taking the knee"

It's a shame to see Hamilton buying into the false narrative and the fact that he may take a knee and disgrace our flag on American soil is repulsive. By doing so he will join the small minority of idiotic,overpaid celebrity athletes who have no clue about what this flag represents and those who fou...

Re: The Official Lewis Hamilton thread

First off I'm not a Hamilton fanboi by any means. As an objective racing fan I must say that Lewis is far and above the field this year. He may be out qualified from time to time but we all know that it really doesn't matter. He consistantly runs down Rosberg and overtakes him with realative ease. I...

Re: Indy 500 event updates

strange comment after watching the Monaco GP this morning.... where winning the pole is essentially winning the race. Other than Vettel's issue, the top 4 were as they qualified. I love the glamour of Monte Carlo, but as a race it is, in my opinion, well past it's use by date. On the other hand, th...

Re: So did we enjoy it?

The way young Magnussen handled his race was very impressive along with Ricardo (sans the DQ) and what a drive by Bott...

I think I've got the answer to my question really! I think it's far too early for Hamilton to have made a difference to the car, and Mercedes probably would have made those gains anyway. I think Hamilton has, however, dragged the car a bit higher than it would have been in the hands of Rosberg/Schu...

Between him and the Old Lion I would say quite a lot. The pace shown by Lewis and last years pace from the Old Lion at certain times is encouraging. A few of the same issues remain such as tyre deg and mech failures. IMHO Lewis is helping to validate the hard work that Schumi put in to get that car ...
