Re: If Hamilton doesn't sign

Hell his ego will not let him race this year... the only person to have 8 WDC under his belt. Come on now get real, Lewis has zero plans to not let that happen this year.

Re: 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Race Thread

Maybe it would have been better if Russell had been in the Merc, Hamilton's not looked on it at in the race, he did admit today that he felt better, I would question if he's fully fit. What more could Hamilton do? Not race... I think the only reason he was back in the car is he did not like someone...

Re: I really miss screaming V10s

Fantastic engines unlike the V8s. I really disagree with this. The V10's & 12's were certainly the absolute best sounding engines of all time, but the V8's sounded just as incredible in their own right and DID NOT sound bad at all. Different, but certainly not bad in any way. https://youtu.be/5jTTM...
