LH now reading up on the “ why my team mate beat me” excuse book, worst kept secret this year?

Anyone see the resemblance?

It's like history repeating itself isn't it. Young kid comes into a team against a World Champion...

LEWIS: Look George, I'm the business so you just settle down and learn from me. You'll have your day in the sun, but not until I'm gone. That's how it works, ask your uncle Fellipe. Just be a good chap and take Valterri's millions, keep yourself tidy but leave me alone and try not to get too many poles cos it gets embarrassing having to get James on the phone to you every weekend.

GEORGE: See I remember when you went up against Alonso and you didn't do any of that.

LEWIS: Yeah, but I was young and stupid and we gave Kimi the championship.

GEORGE. 😒😒😒

Sweet talk from Toto :whipped: Benchmark for a teammate? 🤮I’m sorry but no thanks! Everyone races to win, and not just to be 2nd place 🤬
I agree. Bottas was Lewis' most compliant team mate, but to his detriment it seems. It looks like his career is effectively over, unless Alfa has some top secret plans for next year!

No one enjoys being Lewis' team mate. Nico and Jenson definitely didn't get along with him. Drivers have to be ruthless and selfish to be the very best, it was the same with Schuey and Senna.

I wonder how Lewis and George will gel. George is his first ever team mate from the next generation of drivers.

I think Russell fans might get a bit of a shock. I don't think he's going to come in and whoop Lewis' ass. I'm just hoping he will be a big enough problem to help Max.

Excited for 2022!

Hi teammate 😉
Is that an F1 Grande Date George is holding?

Am amazed Tsunoda has been re-signed. He really needs to improve.

Eagle eyes in there 👍 Glad you noticed the TAG Heuer easter egg 😉

So rumours saying that Albon will be in Williams and that future Williams will be powered by the rumoured VW Red Bull power unit. Sounds promising!

Wow, this will be so much fun to see! If we're lucky this will cause some internal fights in Merc which can benefit Max ::psy::

Great news! 👍 Is he still under Red Bull contract? They need a Red Bull driver to sneak in and learn more about a Mercedes engine 😜 Double O style 😎

Interesting. Does this mean that the other half of the rumour is also true? That Williams will switch to "Honda" Red Bull soon to be VW power units?

He’s wearing an Alpha Tauri t-shirt, so assume he’s still part of the Red Bull family

Honda's doing, they've been grooming Tsunoda since 2016. Likely the primary reason he got the drive to begin with.
