While I can understand how LH feels, a better approach would be to keep things quiet and to himself, not let this play out in the media. He can decide whether he wants to continue after the inquiry, which is perfectly reasonable, but there's no need for this attention.

He'd be better off taking the "high road" vs. shining more of a spotlight on the situation, which IMO does look very much like sour grapes now.

 

Has he? I thought the whole point was that he was keeping to himself...

 

Yeah it seems reasonable for him to just stay quiet and wait.

 

100% Correct.
Lewis has said nothing. It's ALL speculation.

 

If Lewis has said absolutely nothing, I take back what I said.

I assumed he must've given someone the idea that he's waiting for the inquiry to decide his next course of action. Otherwise the media just pulled that out of thin air.

 

Sky Sports reported he was waiting for the outcome of the review.
Lewis has not said a word so far.
The speculation is what sells papers and gets viewers in the off season I guess.

 

But Lewis must be reading the press offerings, so, either put the toys back in the pram and climb on board, or put the pram away and leave head held high. If he’s thinking of leaving, I don’t expect he would want to string it out and then suddenly leave Mercedes in the poop, or, does he want to punish them for not backing him as he hoped?
It involves so much politics that I don’t really care about, you want to race or don’t, if he wants to prove the FIA wrong, come back with such success that the title is done with a race or two to spare.
But then that would be boring and people would turn off.
Ya pays yer money and takes yer choice.
100 days till the BTCC starts and less till the local circuit holds it’s first event, yippee, probably the F1 will be recorded and result dependent, I may watch.

His n hers, we won’t need the F1 for entertainment.

 

Why would he do that and weaken his position?

 

Ha, so they are announcing the results on the first day of the new season. So that's screwed the idea of Hamilton waiting to see what the outcome is hasn't it?

 

If that's even true. If LH has truly said absolutely nothing and everything is pure speculation, then for all we know LH never had any thoughts about retirement & is waiting on nothing.

 

Come on now, no excuse for this. I understand he’s disappointed, but this whole narrative about being robbed, full on Trump style, is exaggerated. Max was the most consistent driver all year, outscoring Lewis in almost every statistic. Most drivers and team managers have stated Max was the better driver this year.
Lewis didn’t win Abu Dhabi on track. There was a safety car. You don’t win until you cross the line. Max’ puncture is evidence to that.
The greatest showman in F1 has gone silent, taking it like a spoiled little kid. Hardly the greater man comments that were voice after the race.

An investigation is ongoing into the use of the sporting regulations at the season finale, but a final report is not set to arrive until March 18 – the day of free practice for the 2022 season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.

 

Maybe not. Bullshit has reached critical peaks, who knows what's true any more.

 

I just saw an article about Red Bull and Porsche teaming up in 2026. Should make you happy Michael. Red Bull x Porsche x Tag Heuer

 

Yeah, I could be in heaven, provided it's a nice watch. Actually, I'm happy with just Porsche x TAG Heuer. I'm indifferent about RB, would rather have a Gulf x Porsche x TAG Heuer.

 

The same arguments all over again. Max has had it worse with race control all season and lost more points. This fixation on the last race is misplaced.
Masi out? He has an impossible job. Change the decision making structure, not the man.
The season’s best man won, I’m happy with that. The last race’s controversy doesn’t take the shine off Max’ WC, as Hamilton put in in Silverstone.
