Gotta Gold ticket for Saturday, hopefully not to cold…
Saturday will be OK - Hamilton will be in his racing overalls rather than his clown suit. :lol:

Love this track.

Can’t see anything beyond a dominant Mercedes win though. Now their aero errors look to be fixed and they don’t need to run a huge rear wing, we will see business as normal on the straights with their superior engine.

I would suggest "Hobo Chic", without the Chic in this case.

It was Media Day today. All the drivers arrived round noon at the circuit.
Pierre had a beautiful flower arrangement for his friend Antoine and Lewis was all dressed up for the Netflix filming.

If Netflix are focused on Mercedes this weekend I wonder how they will contrive to spectacularly drop the ball on Sunday? If I was Toto & co I would be very nervous!!! 😂😂

Yes you're right.

So how many tenths of a second do we think Hamilton's outfit is worth? Looks pretty draggy to me...

I agree, comfortable win for Hamilton unless they somehow bottle it. They are very likely favorites on paper. The past 2 races have reminded me of the kind of domination they had over Verstappen in 2020, ideally 3 or 4 tenths gap in qualifying everytime. So my podium prediction Hamilton-Verstappen-Alonso podium, because Renault/Alpine have often done well at this track in the 2019+ era of these hybrid F1 cars. Or perhaps Hamilton-Verstappen-Norris given the good high-speed cornering of the McLaren.

I think there's more to this than meets the eye. Throughout the years he was always been active in philanthropic work.
I just googled this and found out his latest project is named Mission 44.
"Mission 44's aim is to support, champion and empower young people from underrepresented groups in the UK in 2020. Mission 44 launches with a personal £20million pledge from Lewis, which will be used to support Mission 44’s work, including supporting organizations and programs that narrow the gap in employment and education systems, through partnerships, collaborations, grant giving and advocacy."

He could be highlighting some of his beneficiaries' design or work by wearing these conspicuously on a race event seen by millions of people worldwide.
