Remember when a nation was willing boring Nigel Mansell to win?

I’d like Max to win this year. I’m sure I’m not the only Brit with that desire.

If you’ve attracted the attention of Spitting Image, you’ve fucked up.

Ooh. That one works.

Meanwhile, no mention anywhere obvious that Lewis has set up a Foundation with a £20m injection into the fund as that doesn’t fit the narrative

Don’t fret

Only one of the best races of the season. “Instant classic” I think they are describing it as

After 2 laps behind the safety car the race is abandoned and half points are awarded. Verstappen 1st, Russell 2nd, Hamilton 3rd…

So they dont have to refund the spectators tickets.  
Fair play by Lewis for calling them out on it

Hamilton is going to be well and truly irked by this…

About time, he’s had little competition since Nico left, when he often benefitted from Rosberg’s dodgy reliability… Hamilton is a great driver, but not as good as his stats or he would lead you to believe, because he has never had a shitty car or had consistent challenge from within the team.

Well he’s going to have to lump it.

New contract signed in July 2021 keeping him there for another two seasons. Swimming in money. Travelling the world. Having actual competition within the team. Hard life init.
