This doesn't bode well for his championship hopes. It speaks to a state of mind that is in direct opposition of objective realities.

Thoughts?

Well my friend , here are my thoughts . Actually facts !

Who drove car number 44 in :

• Emola ?
• Monaco ?
• Styrian ?
• France ?
• Austria ?

If it Isn't about the fastest car , why Mercedes had to come with PU updates ,a new floor and a new hidden cooling system at Silverstone to win HAM's home race and to beat MAX ?
If that wasn't enough , the Merc's had to ram MAX in the wall twice in the last 2 races .
3 Red Bull cars and 3 HONDA PU's have been destroyed by Mercedes !
Grid penalties will follow for MAX .Thanks to Mercedes !

If MAX didn't had bad luck with his blown tire at Azerbeidzjan , and if he wasn't rammed 'twice by the Merc's ..
Then MAX would currently lead this 2021 WDC by at least 85 points .

And HAM's 2021 season was 'now already game over ...

My friend, I'm talking about his state of mind. He believes that the only way to win a WDC is to have the fastest car. That is patently false. It has been done by multiple drivers in the WDC since 1950. It's literally untrue. Everything you posted has nothing to do with this article.

Cheers-mk

^^ It's clear that you are streets behind in why the situation is what it is now. Merc has found numerous loop holes in the rules as regards collisions and how they occur especially hits from ''behind''.

Just goes to show he hasn’t learned a thing “the only way I can ever win is if I’m in the fastest car, and everyone gets out of my way so I can win”

It’s quite sad actually as his fans on this site lap it all up and agree with him.

He’s an extremely talented driver, but also one of the biggest winers/babies on the grid. His “team” perpetuates this and that is why he will likely never win a WDC or even if he does he will be a one hit wonder.

I meant 2008. Thanks for the gentle correction. But not the people's champ...

Wow 20 pages already. Stopped reading after 5 or 6. Just wanted to say I can not freaking wait for practice in a few hours.

Man it has seemed like a long break

Hammy only 18th,is he planning another desperate move or staying out of Max's way

Lol! He was baulked by Latifi. He was up .1 to .15 up on BOT's time. Ominous.

GuidoK · 08-27-2021, 09:25 AM

That helmetcam was pretty cool

Hope they use that view a bit more.

VER Crashed

GuidoK · 08-27-2021, 10:01 AM

So Max is fastest in the P2 but his mechanics don't get the night off

A bit in the same area where Leclerc lost it.

PER disappoints a bit. But we never know what is tested in the practice sessions of course.

Lets see what tomorrows qualifying brings.
Spa-Francorchamps is a track that suits the Merc's very well.
VER is insanely fast in area 2 but not so fast in area 1 and significantly slow in area 3
