Sending kids to sleep off a lovely mood is a thing though? He blew up at about 8:45am UK time I think. Also if you want cancer, push that #TeamLH link. His fans are seriously delusional. There's some that spent hours yapping at Mercedes and blaming them directly. Then Lewis puts out his statement. Then they spend hours saying anyone who suggested LH was blaming Mercedes and not a 'higher power' are morons spreading filth. Like literally the same people do both things. The self owning is real with LH fans.

I think the Lewis Hamilton hate is because goons hate nationalism , especially nationalism from traditionally colonial countries. It's the same crowd that shits on Columbus Day in America.

Mercedes preparing their entry to a superior racing formula for Hamilton to retire to once he has a post-2016 wobbly meltdown Also, from the bbc rumours page: quote:Lewis Hamilton says he would be prepared to skip practice sessions in the five final races of the 2016 Formula 1 season if it meant protecting his remaining engines following his dramatic exit from the race. haha, please do forego that important development and setup time you numpty. Khablam posted:As a Brit myself who is over-exposed to it, I can say the British media just tries super hard to make British F1 drivers seem decent, which is hard because they're largely either poo poo or shitmunchers. Yea, one hundred percent this. As a Brit, the bias towards British drivers is really loving annoying. Again, with the exception of JB. Because he's not poo poo like the rest of them

enri posted:haha, please do forego that important development and setup time you numpty. The engine that popped was nearly new, having done one practice session when first mounted, then one complete race (FP -> Quali -> Race), then a second nearly complete race. Strongly points to a manufacturing flaw.

I try not to celebrate the misfortune of others much... but since it's just a car race and the clown is still making millions and isn't actually suffering in any real way, Everything from *BOOM* "No no no!" to shattered Lewis squatting in the grass was glorious. like 10/10, would watch again, hoping for same result next race. Just looking at the calendar... with 5 races left, another few Ricciardo wins and Hamilton DNFs would put him down into 3rd, which would be amazing.

Lewis is very narcissistic, and that turns a bunch of people off. He also externalizes a lot of problems he is at least partially responsible for, which is also kind of offensive. Schumacher could be an incredible rear end in a top hat, and combined with his very confrontational driving style made for an easy media narrative against him. Lots of people who were closer to him say that was never how he truly was, but there really isn't any way to know. Vettel was a dick, and decided to poo poo on the people who helped him grow in order to get big money working for a famous team. He's eaten some humble pie from that and is seemingly better about it now. Alonso I never paid that much attention too, so no idea. Verstappen is carefully managing his media, and his family and red bull are all over keeping his 'young aggressive underdog' schtick going. I don't think we have seen much of the true Max, honestly.

Lewis' engine is newer on paper, but every race since having it has seen him out of position and overtaking / pushing to try to get on the podium / catch Nico. Meanwhile, Nico has had basically 2hrs of clean air per race and has only had to defend against ferrari strategy (lol) and redbull consistency (lol) to win comfortably. I'd not feel like my engine was in the better position, really. As for Vettel, it's always felt like he's trying to ape Schumacher as much as possible. Moving to ferrari when they were all over the map and bringing them back on form would have repeated what Schumacher did. Ironically he joined a team and hasn't outperformed the number 2 driver already in situ, so he's aped Schumacher's second career by accident

The Hamilton hate is largely down to his social media profile which is that of an 8 year old trapped in the body of a stupendously wealthy adult. To be fair, the route to becoming an F1 driver involves putting your childhood on hold to drive karts endlessly so that's more or less what he is.

I thought Lewis said the engine wasn't turned up when it blew. Nico's was iirc when he was trying to get 10 seconds over Kimi in the last few laps.

Meanwhile, Nico has had basically 2hrs of clean air per race and has only had to defend against ferrari strategy (lol) and redbull consistency (lol) to win comfortably. Mercedes absolutely designs and tunes the car to secure pole and then lead the entire race, counting on the clean air and blue flags of such a track position. We've seen dirty air cripple the cars badly (though Nico being terrible at passing is probably as much responsible) but they've rarely blown up from it. I'm certain Mercedes pushes their engine much harder than their customers do, as well, which gives a bit of a false impression when Lewis says other customer teams don't have the issue. It's because they aren't anywhere as close to the edge as the works team is.

If you come from a racing family so money and sponsorship are no problem and you are winning all the time because you have a fast reliable ride and maybe some talent, it's probably amazing if you are a guy. I'd complain about family dynasty poo poo in F1, but it's always been that way and it's going to get worse as cars become more a utility (electric, self driving) and you can't be lucky and get noticed on talent alone.

Pretty good summary, actually! Plus, it gets boring to see the same person win over and over, which turns some people off. For me, it's much more that he just seems so douchey. Alonso was unlikeable for a while (like I mentioned earlier) when he was whining about Renault sabotaging him, but he recovered from that and is now awesome. Vettel seemed to get a lot more likeable after he stopped winning / left Red Bull. I'm not sure which contributed more. Another key thing for both of them I think is that they have matured and chilled out. Honestly, maybe Lewis will eventually get there too. I just don't like him.
