Down the pub - the thread about nothing and everything

[Grahamm]

He used to be a good driver - probably still is but with a few wins under his belt he turned into an English Schumacher - An arrogant feccer who doesnt deserve the airtime now.

If he had been "an English Schumacher" there were plenty of opportunities for him to cynically take his opponent out of the race and guarantee himself the victory. He didn't do that.

Also, during the post-race interviews, instead of saying "We was robbed", almost the first thing he did was to congratulate Verstappen and Red Bull on their victory.

With George Russell joining the team with him next year, Hamiton will have some strong competition

Russell certainly looked good when he was behind the wheel of the Mercedes in Bahrain and it was a tragedy that a radio failure ended up with him having to do another stop after he was given the wrong tyres and then suffered a puncture which cost him at least second place and possibly even a victory.

However, like it or not, he's going to be playing second fiddle to a seven times World Champion, because that's how F1 works.
