To change gears a bit. If the 2023 Mercedes is a championship contender can we say that Lewis has developed a championship car from a dog at least twice in his career?
I think you're underestimating the work of a certain Mr Rosberg & Mr Russell, of course to some it can only be down to Hamilton.

So it's his fault that it was a dog this year? :wtf:

Or is it the teams fault when it's bad, and his fault when it's good? :lol:

Its pretty impressive, he races during the day, designs and develops the parts in the wind tunnel at night to fix the drivability issues. /s

Thats just plain silly. He has a fashion business to run at night, he does it in his lunch time

I mean we saw the guy testing parts like he was at leggo factory... Reminds me of Michael Schumacher and Barichello rolled into one.

Think he was referencing the fact that Hamilton tested several experimental parts and setups on the W13. They had Hamilton take this task on to utilize his experience and get feedback that would help them bake-in better characteristics on the W14.

None of that was happening with the W12. It was a dead-end generation of car lol.

Thought that comment was pretty straightforward . . .

It would seem pretty much the whole forum had been taken over by pro Max, anti-Hamilton/Merc and pro Hamilton, anti -Max/Red Bull types.

It`s pathetic the amount of posts with subtle little digs here and there!

Scenario where nobody will win. Some will just never agree their driver can be in the wrong or take partial blame.

But unless the incidents can’t be discussed, then never going to win really. (From both sides)
