Only 1 driver on the grid has won Monaco 3 times. So, it isn’t really a problem. Leclerc crashed there back in May and has crashed in practice in Jeddah. That’s the point.04-12-2021 05:42

Despite all the couch “expert” opinion and speculation here, 3 facts still stand. One, where the Mercedes car is right now is not comparable to where it was in Monaco or Baku. That should be obvious enough. Two, just checked again who won Turkey 2020. So, all this stuff about low grip favours this or that team is really neither here nor there, is it? Of course, Jeddah is not Istanbul, but going on and on about grip or lack of grip makes no sense, does it. Mercedes won Turkey 2020. Three, there is nobody alive and breathing who knows what the outcome of the Jeddah race is going to be; not Tilke whom Marko apparently has been speaking to privately, trying to gain advantage, nor even the smartest race strategist on the grid. Least of all folks who can’t even tell who won in Turkey just last season. Could be Red Bull that wins in Jeddah. Could be Mercedes. Could be Ferrari or Alpine. It’s happened before. We’re all just going to have to wait and see.26-11-2021 01:36

With his 101st race win in Brazil, Hamilton also beat the combined win record of all Dutch and Austrian drivers in F1 history put together. Total Dutch + Austrian F1 Drivers, 1952-2021 - 32 Drivers Total race wins - 100 Total Hamilton race wins 2007-2021 - 101 The man is a machine!?17-11-2021 06:22

Yawn. Button has still not gotten over being beaten in the same car by Hamilton in 2010 and again in 2012, just like Hamilton beat Alonzo in the same car in 2007. All these bitter has beens who came close to suicide because they couldn’t handle being beaten by the Black kid. Over 18 seasons in F1 Button won 15 races in all. Fifteen. Hamilton is only in his 15th season, and he’s won 100 races. 100 vs 15. What’s Button going to do; grow up and bow to the greatest? Nah, he’s still the spoilt kid who demanded to be paid twice what Nico Rosberg was offered at Mercedes just because he’d won one championship, and Mercedes said, uh, uh, take a walk, and he walked into oblivion. Hamilton’s unequalled accomplishment speaks for itself. If you know another driver who has equalled it, please, kindly tell us who. Case closed.21-10-2021 22:45

With talk of possible Andretti interest in Sauber/Alfa Romeo, favoured American drivers in tow, it’s not inconceivable that Bottas could return to Mercedes in the future. Perhaps, when Hamilton retires if that happens soon enough. At the same time, nobody knows where Mercedes will be in the next few years; still up front, or mid pack. It’s happened to other teams in the past. Then, the team might reconsider its driver line-up. Wolff is still Bottas’s manager. For now, though, getting the Brit hounds off his back is the best thing that has happened to Bottas. He can breathe without the full weight of British media and fans relentlessly asking for his head.20-10-2021 18:26

Motor racing is a team sport. “Which would Red Bull rather have, the constructors’ championship or the drivers’? It’s hard to say. The money is with the constructors’ championship, but the prestige is with the drivers’. So, I would say, definitely the drivers’.” - Christian Horner “Gasly should help us delay Hamilton as long as possible. We’ll surely appreciate it.” - Christian Horner This is all fair play in what has always been a team sport. You strategise to win the drivers’ and constructors’ championships for the team if possible. Nothing strange, unfair, or unusual about that. That’s the whole point of racing as a team. What’s bizarre is people complaining about team strategy.17-10-2021 08:46

I actually think different. It’s clear that whoever wrote this blog piece deliberately misquotes Di Resta, because if you read the quote where he talks about who’s going to break all the records and needs stability, he’s talking about Hamilton, not Russell. He also says that Mercedes is not going to undermine Hamilton, their best asset, by denying him Bottas’s support, just like Red Bull has decided to continue with Perez instead of making yet another switch and destabilizing their setup. The quote contradicts the suggestion that Di Resta thinks Russell is going to replace Bottas next year. I don’t see that claim in his statement unless I’m reading it wrong.27-08-2021 22:37

The FIA doesn’t always levy a fine when a team commits an infringement. Fact of the matter is that RBR went around the tests. It’s schoolboy naughty, and they’ve been made to pay by dipping into a tight budget to meet the specifications. The trouble was never the specifications; those have always been clear and did not change. You don’t redesign a part to meet the specifications if it already met the specifications. That should be obvious.26-08-2021 12:12

Trouble is you’re not Max Verstappen, Monsieur Gachot. Just about settles it. Same thing Hamilton told Coulthard when he started pontificating on what he would do if he were Lewis Hamilton. Sorry, David, but you’re not Lewis Hamilton.26-08-2021 03:27

There are many different reasons a driver might take a while to settle into a car and be able to extract the most from it, or feel instantly attuned to it, or in fact, never get used to it. By the way, at Sakhir Russell was also driving a car that took 15 poles in 17 races last year. 15 out of 17. It’s not like he was quickest in FP1 with a Haas.26-08-2021 12:37
