With Max and Lando being knocked out of contention yesterday that means Lewis, for now, reclaims the stat of being the driver with the longest active streak of races in title contention (shared with the Merc drivers). Its the first time since Monza 2022 that he holds that stat.
This is really silly because not only is this a common occurrence with dominant cars but Max and Charles were fighting for position and lost that time themselves. Once ahead Max barely lost any time to Kimi for the entire rest of the stint.
My F1 conspiracy is that VSCs were invented for the sole purpose of robbing Lewis Hamilton of podiums
A VSC away from a double podium in the third best car. All of Italy combined does not have the money to pay these two what they deserve.
Possibly Lewis worst weekend this year so a P4 is really fine. The fight for championship positions stays alive. Without the VSC its a podium even.
Champions drive from Kimi, really stellar. Reminds me of Lando in Mexico last season.
Also Charles was absolutely incredible, really hats off to that performance.
Both Ferrari driver still bailing out this car because it was not a P2-P4 car at all. Red Bull also don't look as inevitable as they did two weeks ago.
Time to bounce back in Mexico and who knows, maybe the fight for P2 really is still on.
LMAOOOO Lewis is supposed to lie about his own health concerns to "stand up for a colleague" when that exact same colleague couldn't find it in himself to kneel when Lewis specifically told him why it was important to him. dfkm man. you lot are so fucking shameless.
Another completely normal and sane tweet from the Verstappen camp 👍
All over a quote in which Lewis literally just says that the bumps aren't a problem for him. No diss, no mocking, just a normal fucking answer to a normal question.
In today's episode of Lewis Hamilton hate psychosis on f1twt:
Max Verstappen fans ENRAGED as Lewis Hamilton claims he is NOT bothered by the bumpy surface at COTA
"How dare he not have back problems now when he did have them in a completely different situation four years ago?? He must be lying to spite Max!!", one fan claims
More on this pressing issue at 6
Maybe if its so bad for Max and not for Lewis its an issue with the Red Bull and they just need to "design their car properly" in the words of Max himself.
Why do you need Lewis to lie about the bumps if he really isn't bothered by them?
In 2022 when you could see his spine break apart in real time he was clowned and told to stop the theatrics, but now because poor old Max can't handle a few bumps, the exact same bumps everyone else is driving over too, the world has to stop and nobody is allowed to disagree with him. The hypocrisy is absolutely ridiculous. These few bumps are not the same as 2022. Just because the infinitely worse situation in 2022 caused Lewis pain doesn't mean he now can't say he doesn't mind bumps now. And he now is experiencing the same thing as Max, as opposed to back then when it was only him and George who had that bad of a problem with porpoising. What a weird thing to get so angry about.
Lando and Max would've quit the sport if they had had to drive the W13 😭✌️
Lewis Hamilton enjoys the bumps around the Circuit of Americas
"People are complaining, but I'm 42 and my back is fine"
"I personally like the bumps, it adds character to the track, I love the challenge of that because you know the car is moving and you have to correct it"
"In a perfect world, it would be a flat track, but then there would be a lack of character. That's what gives this track that little bit more"
"It's already a great layout. The bumps give it a bit more. Turn 1 is not a problem for us at all. Turn 19 and Turn 9 are a little bit bumpy, but everyone is in the same boat"
162 races
3,101 days
8 and a half years
Thats how long Lewis spent in nonstop contention for the Formula 1 world championship. From Australia 2014 until Monza 2022, Lewis entered every single race weekend in mathematical contention for the title.
Another truly untouchable record with the next best streak looking set to fall short this weekend
Decent effort. The team is genuinely just fake. Crazy lap from Kimi, the Red Bull is clearly the fastest car but he's simply strung it together better. Let's see the race pace but I have very little hope for this team and with that for the rest of the calendar.
