Ah, sorry. I thought you were arguing in good faith.

Have a great evening.

I thought so too. Like I said, everything that happens to George is normal, but help me God, if something is wrong with Lewis. He has built this victim's temple around him this year. Ocon had no pit crew in Vegas when he pitted. No one cared or shouted conspiracy.

I’ve noticed HAM mention health in a few post race interviews saying that he is grateful for it, or something along those lines. Has he always been like that or this is something recent?

He is just playing the 'disconsolate victim of evil mercedes' who didn't make a car to his liking and are forcing him to drive it for them. He knows sympathy goes a long way in keeping his fanbase loyal, because those 'die hard followers' is the 'capital' he is carrying into Ferrari. Elkann just wants 'brand Hamilton' to boost sales of expensive super/hyper cars and Ferrari branded apparel and other paraphernelia.
The long face and sad dialogues, carefully sprayed with words like 'gratitude' , 'been together for years' etc etc are peak PR activity. He is paid to do a job, to drive the car to collect points for the team. Sulking like a 10 yr old spoilt child is unprofessional. As if he is the only driver to ever leave an F1 team or the only person who has had a car that doesn't suit his driving.
