He’s changed from being a bit entitled and petulant to being a very principled bloke. Wouldn’t surprise me one bit if he soon stands up and says he’s not racing in the Middle East due to human rights issues. Much as I like Lewis he could learn from Seb about how to go about raising issues without annoying some folk ie take a stand, state the facts and don’t criticise others Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jol_BWFC Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Haas have terminated Mazepin’s contract. I guess if they terminate the sponsorship, what’s the point in having him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kent_white Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 Right - I'm going to try and give F1 a fair go this season. Where do I start. Bearing in mind my baseline is realising there's a race on about three times every season when there are about ten laps left? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MancWanderer Posted March 5, 2022 Share Posted March 5, 2022 I record the qualifying on Saturday (about 1pm) and the race on the Sunday (about 2pm) and keep away from the news to watch the recording with a beer early evening as I’m usually busy weekend afternoons. Keep an eye on this thread and you’ll know when races are coming up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bearing in mind my baseline is realising there's a race on about three times every season when there are about ten laps left? You have to accept straight away that whilst the drivers tend to take the limelight, it’s as much about the lads and lasses building and running the cars as it is about the lads (entirely lads for now) that drive them. In this order, the key parts of F1 are: The car The driver The tyres Strategy is key in terms of when to change tyres and what compounds to choose (this is the part that probably turns a lot of people off the sport, but it really is a vital call by the teams in terms of when to swap and to which compound). Tyre strategy is probably the biggest deciding factor for half the races during a season. Theres always a few crashes. Watching a million quids worth of colourful carbon fibre being shattered all over a racetrack is quite fun. Drivers - Hamilton and Verstappen have the best cars. Ignore the old trope about them winning easily for that reason. They’re in those cars because they’re the best drivers. Plain and simple.

That's the beauty of it for me, it's not like footy where you've got your tribal allegiance. Mclaren are my team, always root for them and enjoying seeing their resurgence but Lewis is that good at what he does, he's one of if not the greatest of all time, and one of ours, that I can't help but support him. Also fallen a little bit in love with Kimi Raikkonen over the years. There'll definitely be something missing this year without him.
