f1 got lucky with tyre management?
thats one of the biggest driving skills in the world
the reason hamilton destroys bottas on race pace is becasue he controls the tyres, its an incredible skill
the sharper you turn a corner, you put heat into the tyre which degrades it, less grip
one tiny lock up, shreds the tyre, meaning less grip
hamilton has always been incredible at it, but he's average at it?

a lesser driver would get better results cause hamilton is doing 'chunes'?
this is utter racism lol

hamiltons strength is race pace and not qualifying, hence why bottas can beat him in qualy
you are completely contradicting yourself in every way

you are listing his faults like its 2008 again, when yea he was a rookie who beat a two time world champion?


also qualifying is a huge skill but race pace, race pace you can learn with experience and only the greats have it, to be able to be fast over 50 laps, that is a skill the best have
but hamilton as i explained is a master at tyre management, more than you and i can comprehend
he's a master in rain or wet conditions, always has been
rosberg beat him once, when hamilton had a huge amount of mechanical issues, plus rosberg beat schumacher in the mercedes and rosberg retired, because he couldn't deal with the stress and pressure of competing against hamilton, he won once and quit, hamilton is relentless

listen, if you want to discredit hamilton, you need to try far harder than this incoherent jibberish
i saw you are a poster from 2011
i think you've had brain trauma, cause you type less coherently than i do when pissed

hamilton might be a **** or so, but he is one of the 'regular' guys, he didnt grow up rich, his father sacrificed everything to get him into karting, he got picked up by mclaren who paid for his early formula career that costs hundreds of thousands, hamiltons father couldnt afford that
but its the nature of motorsport

and imho, many people dislike hamilton cause he's mixed race
i genuinely believe it
if he was white, there'd be half the criticism
'how dare he say i save carbon footprint' etc
if he wasnt a hypocrite, hed quit it all and live in a shack
its passive racism
or he only pays tax that you couldnt pay in 10 life times, but no hes a tax dodger
he does what any single guy earning 40m a year does
target amazon and the like for your hate

i only type on this thread when im pissed. i can normally refrain from doing it when sober because i dont know enough about the science of driving an F1 car. but once im winkered i cant resist. atm i dont post on any other threads.

my whole point is since 2014 when he started winning titles every year, he has had a much better car which makes it very hard to compare him to other current drivers and those greats in recent history.

i used to post on the F1 autosport forum which is serious stuff and they really do know their onions not like on here.

you say his tyre management is incredible. do you not think this is an area where the car helps?
he can race through the field and still have better condition tyres.

im only half pissed now and realise its a waste of time trying to get my point over

red bull were the best car - vettel won it 4 times
mercedes is the best car - hamilton wins it 6 times

and what makes you think i hate him? sometimes he is the only reason i watch f1
im deeply hurt by your nasty comments to me. your not a nice person are you.
 
So many words, such little insight.
apologies for tipsy meanderings
i m boring at the best of times never mind when ive had a shandy
last comment from me on this thread despite the possibility of having plenty of george russel ammo this weekend to show how much of an advantage the car has.
verstappen (who i do hate and root for hamilton to smash him every race) said recently anyone would win sat in that car.
sour grapes? or not far from the truth?
hamilton is no doubt a great driver. but i think the car is making him look greater than he is. some say he is the best ever. i dont agree. but the mercedes is the best car ever.

0.026 seconds off pole position. Imagine what he could have done in a car designed for him with more than 2 days to get used to it.

Over a 2 second lead in the race already. Hamilton and Russell are obviously talented but this car is miles miles miles ahead of everything else. Would Russell be fastest pretty much all weekend if he had come in to race in any other car?

Not as much of an expert on these matters as some who post on here obviously, but in my humble layman's opinion, no.
