In Lewis Hamilton we have black man who has surpassed all expectations, broken down barriers, and has shattered once considered an impenetrable ceilings for people of color and those without bountiful means.

The level of resentment about the Vegas GP is laced with anti American sentiment.
The issue is not so much with the glitz and glamour because we have seen this before in other locations and certainly in different formats without this level of resentment.

There is now enough data to come to the conclusion that Mr. Russell is currently a faster driver than the legendary wheelman, Lewis Hamilton.
It does not take away from the fact that Hamilton will more than likely win races again, get pole positions again and it does not

Liberty Media knows, but the FIA is tone deaf.
When Lewis Hamilton steps away from the sport, he will take with him out the door, the most significant decline in viewership, revenue and attendance F1 will experience. I hope someone does the analysis a year after he steps away.

And not because he has made positive comments about Hamilton, this Piastri has some Vettel in him. A talented driver and a good human being.

Wolff himself was involved in starting to prioritize George in 2022 and beyond.
Lewis’s camp raised the concern and it was dismissed, but Mercedes, including Toto had already made a business decision that Hamilton was going to phased out.
You do not do things that make your aging driver, who is still among the best on the grid feel invaluable or unappreciated, especially when his talents are still a coveted commodity and when he has options.

The handwringing going on about Mercedes performance in Brazil is because they have been so bad for 2 years, but the mighty Red Bull team got it wrong in Singapore. It just shows that it can happen.

Not sure why so many people feel the need to suggest anyone is disparaging Mike Elliot. His contributions speak for themselves and he is appreciated.
But facts are a stubborn thing, he was replaced by a guy who has shown more progress in a few months than he did in 2 years.
After 11 incredible years, Chief Technical Officer Mike Elliott has chosen to depart the team.
Mike has been one of the pillars of the team’s achievements and we thank him for everything he has brought to the team.
We wish you the best of luck with your next chapter, Mike!
Not controversial at all…
If people are all of a sudden going to question his driving prowess because he has a good car, then you have to do the same with Hamilton and Schumacher 🤔
If not but for their talents, you would potentially have multiple world driving champion

Hungary 2019, when the race seemed all but lost, it was Rosie’s brilliant call to switch the strategy to a two stopper and put Hamilton on medium tires. Lewis then set about the business of hunting down race leader Max Verstappen and blew by the Dutchman with 3 laps to go.
