Thats rather disingenuous. Just because you disagree does not make it ok to be rude or dismissive.

The point is valid, and dismissing with tart remarks it does not change that.

You can be that if Lewis had actually increased his lead in the championship he wouldn't have been complaining of the situatuon. He never complains when the situation favours himself.

Points aren't awarded on Saturday. To suggest that Lewis should have had some reasonable expectations that points would be awarded without any opportunity to change position on Sunday is absurd. And you have the audacity to suggest my comment was disingenuous.

Nothing about the "race" had anything to do with fair sport, which is all I care about. I'm not a Hamilton fan. I'm not a Verstappen fan. I'm not even much of an F1 fan anymore. And F1 once again showed that they care nothing about the sport of racing, which is why I went from watching every race for 20+ years to occasionally watching race highlights.

That is a PR puff piece.

Anyone remember the last time there was an “unraceable” race day in F1? I don’t. How was it handled then?

The one I remember best was at Indy in 2005 when one tire manufacturer laid an egg and none of their cars could go: Michelin's tyre mistake sends US Formula One Grand Prix into farce - Wikinews, the free news source

F1 has a new faux theme song for a faux race:




Never forget...

Kimi is quite the wheel man. He has had a long and amazing career. I really thought his career was over after his rally car crash. I wish him the best.

 

[ahc]

Kimi's the one driver I root for. Not exactly sure why, but I do. I'll miss him after he retires.

Making room for Bottas?

 

[roller]

It will certainly be the end of an era. They're not making F1 drivers with his personality and fondness for partying, drinking, smoking and unabashed personality to fully own up to it and not give a poop. All we'll have left are a bunch of babies who live their lives on Instagram... ugh.

I recall when Schumacher first retired and there was a ceremony before the race.

A commentator was going a grid walk and asked Kimi if hed seen the ceremony, to which the unflappable Finn replied, "no, I was having a s**t."

Some great years at Ferrari. I really enjoyed watching him drive there

 

[roller]

At his age + with his personality, I see him being a man of his word.

He may go sports car racing if he can win Le Mans.

But will anything top this ride of Kimi's from 2011???

I never knew Kimi was a truck driver!

Some lighter moments of his F1 career:

This opens the driver market a bit. The pundits reckon Bottas is the favourite to replace Raikonen there, and its not at all certain Giovinazzi will be retained either.

That being the case the pundits are now touting Alex Albon for a seat at Williams.
