Despite KMag's admission of guilt the stewards have decided it was not unsportsman like behaviour, I'm not to surprised when I see that one of the stewards is that muppet Liuzzi.

Yes alonso outperformed by Stroll in quali - incoming retirement maybe

By one of the worse drivers on the grid no less, is that how it works, knee jerk reactions.

Outscored him in year one, got outscored in year 2, schooling him so far in year 3. Maybe Lewis is not as good as you think after all. Some members see one thing the teams apparently sometimes see something else, then again they have the data and some members can be shorn of context. We have gone o...

Similar level in qualifying I can buy, but prior to this year they didn't seem similar at all in terms of race pace. I suppose Russell could have taken a major step forward, which isn't wholly implausible. I know that a theory goes around here which hypothesises that drivers improve in speed after ...

pokerman

Hamilton is not even beating Russell anymore. That is enough evidence of a decline in performance unless one considers an even more unfavourable alternative. The only plausible counterargument to a Hamilton decline (IMO) is the idea that Lewis has lost motivation and mentally checked out of Mercede...

Is Hamilton ruining Max’s legacy? Not any more than he's ruining every other driver almost every race. He still walks, talks, dresses & behaves like a 2nd year student who thinks he's Gods 19 year old. Please F1, retire Hamilton and let all the other drivers, manager's & teams look after their oppo...

He won 11 races out of 21 in a season where Bottas won 4 and comfortably finished second in the standings. He lost 4 races to Bottas and crashed out of the lead in Germany, that alone is 16 race wins, without taking into account what race results an inherently faster driver could have flipped. In 2...

Verstappen in 2022 had a comparable win percentage to Hamilton in 2020, with a car that was probably weaker than 2019 Mercedes. Hamilton won 11 races out of 21 in a season where Bottas comfortably finished second in the standings. His car was likely stronger than the RB18. There was only 17 races i...

Well, I think you must have realised by now that we view Hamilton’s performance very differently and in my view he has already dropped out of the top tier, one swallow not withstanding. You use such a small sample size to have such a view, last year Hamilton finished 3rd in the 3rd best car, gut fe...

So KMag got 3 penalty points, they grouped everything together and gave him 3 penalty points, once you get penalised in a race just keep on doing what you got penalised for.

I don't think they were that bad. Hamilton and Russell were both within half a tenth of Russell's soft tyre time.

Hamilton went 3 tenths quicker in Q2 on the softs.

It's ridiculous how cars can just park in the pit lane. Hard to know what else they can do. What's to stop someone just not moving at all, can they drive past? I don't know.

Frustrating mistakes from Hamilton, he does it a lot these days.

Kmag is Formula 1’s Most Valuable Player today. The Miami track is so boring, and the sport is suffering due to the domination at the top. His antics today at least made it somewhat interesting for the casual viewers. And it’s the casual fans who pay the bills. Hardcore fans will watch no matter ho...

KMag very honest he drove like that deliberately to protect his teammate, he played the game maybe a game instructed by his team.

In such situations where the driver has a 10 second penalty & is being reckless, he should by default get a drive through as the next penalty because it's injustice to those who're behind & are at risk of getting their car damaged in order to overtake a reckless driver.

Exactly.
