He is a decent driver. Not top 20 in the world and without daddys money he would not have been allowed to stay in F1 year after year after year after year. But I know that F1 is 100% about money and marketing but what makes me really hate Lance is his personality. He appears to be the really bad stereotype of a spoiled little brat who pisses on the world. No karisma and always a douchebag in interviews. You can really picture what kind of person he is showing up to night clubs being all "dont you know who the fυck I am?". If he at least could pretend as if he was a good human being then I would probably not wish so bad for him to always be at the back if the grid.

Oh, okay... I didn't know he was a dick.

Honestly, I think Lance is the stereotypical product of what a kid turns out like when your dad has a helipad at the house.

That being said, I do think he has matured somewhat. Having a nice year as well. He is what he is. He could win a championship and he'll still be the rich kid whos dad got him in F1.

Exactly. Nobody gets into F1 without money though, whether it's sponsorship (Perez) or a team (Hamilton, LeClerc) or their dad.

Yeah sure but that doesnt mean I have to like or respect him. Look at Latifi for example, complete opposite of Lance in behaviour. Latifi is (or at least acts) like a normal and friendly human being towards others even though he has a billionaire father.

I'm willing to be educated, what has Lance said that makes him a tool?

You know, I wonder how many F1 drivers are genuinely 'nice' people. Not many I'm guessing. Super competitive people are not generally the nicest, in my experience anyway. But it's funny how people are willing to overlook some people's personality in favour of their 'persona'. People love to bang on about how great James Hunt was, but you wouldn't trust him with your wife as far as you could throw him. That's a pretty serious character flaw in my book. Then again we only get to see these people's 'public image' so how would we know for sure?

Yes, Vettel had the luck, Perez had the strategy, and Hamilton had the talent!

I’m happy for Seb and Checo TBH. For a wet and wild race, it’s like a lottery out there. But the best and consistent drivers really come out on top in these conditions, no matter what machinery. Hats off to the winners and I enjoyed watching the race with a nail-biting finish! 👍

Bottas span six times. FFS! This is why nobody ever thinks he's going to beat Hamilton.

With 14 races and 3 more to go, Hamilton has sealed the F1 Driver’s Title in 2020. If Bottas finished 7th or lower in the race, Hamilton will be automatically Champion. But Hamilton doesn’t like that. He carved his way up from 6th to the TOP podium. Hamilton even outlapped Bottas 😲 You do not want to win your 7th World Championship Title and not finish on top of the podium 👍 Hamilton has all of those.. Luck, machinery, strategy and supreme talent. And he has outdone Schumacher in almost every respect & records.

Today it was not the Mercedes but Hamilton who won the race in that tricky conditions. The black silver arrow was not the best car for that slippery and cold track, but Hamilton showed he is the driver with most Titles (equaled), with most victories, and with most Poles in F1 history not only because he was driving the best car but because he is also the best F1 driver of the last 14 years, since 2007 👍

Also a great race by Checo and Vettel! Both were favored by a Leclerc’s mistake in the last lap, but this was a race in which mistakes had to be avoided, or ask Max 🤦 who should had won the race today, because he had the best car for that track and conditions.

In fact this was another 1-2 for Mercedes, but the second one was pink this time 😁

Well done Checo! who is now fourth in the standings 👍

And the battle for the third position in the constructor’s Championship is still very tight

Congratulations to Lewis #HAMIL7ON and Mercedes-AMG for making F1 #HIS7ORY 👍

If Red Bull don't sign Perez they want their head looking at.
Yes, Checo deserves a seat next year... but also Hulkenberg is another option for Red Bull.
Albon did a good race today, but maybe too late...

This sort of comparison has no merit. F1 is not a sport like athletics where everyone has the same gear and it's straightforward to compare athletes of the same generation and across generations. According to Ecclestone Hamilton is among the top 5 best F1 drivers of all time. Let's leave it at that.
