I view Lewis Hamilton in the same light I view Tom Brady: good gods they're assholes but holy gently caress are they talented.

Lewis seems like a nice guy who is not quite sure how to act given his sudden fame and wealth. Not sure where you get the rear end in a top hat vibe.

He is right though. Newgarden did pretty badly in GP3 and promptly switched his focus to IndyCars.

Nah Alonso missed the first race for McLaren in 2015. He missed another last year after that terrible crash he had. He also skipped Monaco this year to drive around in a circle at Indy. I can't be bothered to go back any farther.

EDIT: Double post avoidance. 2005 wouldn't affect this. Lewis didn't join F1 until 2007 so what happened at Indy has no bearing on Lewis holding the record as far as Nando is concerned. Nevermind this, I see your point.

Entirely because Massa angrily drove into Our Lewis repeatedly in the 2011 season.

Also, this stat:

Ahead in two-car finish: Hamilton 24 / Button 13

That's a cool stat actually, let's do it for Alonso and Vandoorne:

Alonso 3 / Vandoorne 1

While that is true, Lewis didn't enter F1 until 2007.

I also totally forgot Alonso missed Bahrain last year after crashing in Australia (and Australia the year prior after crashing in pre-season testing).

For what it's worth, Nando started 186 races in a row, from France 2005 to Abu Dabi 2014. Had he not missed those two races in 2015 and 2016, he'd be at 229 races up to Russia this year.

Other interesting things to note:

Lewis may be the only driver to finish every lap this year (he's the only one so far). The only other driver that has yet to DNF is Ocon, but he finished a lap down in at least one race.

Lol @ epic mental bird lady qq'ing aboot having antiques roadshow spoiled for her in the F1 thread.

Also lol at the guy suggesting a 500bhp R32 GT-R track car would be a reasonable idea.

I had a dream I spent my house deposit money on entering the Caterham Academy championship. So I subconciously know terrible ideas.

I don't think i'm going to be able to do the Official FIA race ratings because I'm on holiday, sorry, just sorry.

I still didn't see the race so I assume that it was a Ferrari 1 2 and both the Mercedes were disqualified for having GRIDS

Pockets in general are amazing.

In other words, gently caress women's "fashion" and the lack of pockets in it

Remember that brief glorious period of time when skater pants were in fashion and we were allowed to have 6 enormous pockets :allears:

Women’s dresses don’t have pockets because back in the day men thought that women would hide bottles of poison and stiletto knives in them, and then it became a “tradition” like walking to the left of a horse because idiot inbred aristocrats (aka “cavalry officers”) used to forget they were wearing a sword, and would take out their own horses while mounting them.
