lately you hear Lewis being asked if he regrets his move to Ferrari whereas it should be Ferrari asking if they regret getting rid of Sainz instead of Leclerc. besides Monaco, Leclerc has shown me nothing this season. Sainz to me is a much better driver.

[@3rdStoreyChemist]

LeClerc is still ahead in the championship ad has been for the last couple of seasons. Which ironically has shown he is consistent, as much as it has shown his flaws. Whichever driver Ferrari lost was always going to be a 'mistake', they are both great drivers.

THIS IS THE SAME GUY THAT SAID THE EXACT OPPOSITE ABOUT LEWIS THE LAST YEAR

[@JaySamurai79]

Schumacher, Kimi, Vettle, and even Alonso has never had such words as "His washed" thrown at them. Yet in their lata years they were getting murdered on the track. As for Alonso he hasn't won a race in over 10 years. Danny Ric has lost form for awhile now yet fans keep trying to call him back, but here we are, its Lewis that gets told "his washed". F1 logic is at an all time low with no critical thinking behind it.

[@martinprince8253]

It’s “He’s washed”

[@JaySamurai79]

@martinprince8253 Apologies. Speaking 5 different languages can get tricky!

[@aubanurmi]

What are you talking about? Schumi, Kimi nor Seb were not "murdered", they were all better constantly better than their teammates and had good racecraft. Seb got podium and Kimi passed 10 cars in one start. They of course had also bad moments but overall they were okay. Alonso has been very fast and brave when the car is right; at the moment he seems to be fighting with motivation after a decent start.

[@aubanurmi]

and only idiots call Hamilton washed it's a newer trendy word

[@JaySamurai79]

@aubanurmi No you're missing the point I'm making. In their prime they were all unstoppable, but during the tail end of their careers they struggled. Kimi wasn't winning, Alonso is still present but hasn't won a race in over 10 years. Nico destroyed Schumacher, and both Danny Ric and Leclerc got the better of Vettle. All this being done, nobody was chanting they are "washed" However Lewis finished 3rd only last season, and is still showing how competitive he is, but yet people are saying he is the one that is "washed"

[@Chalky.]

Personally i think changeable conditions highlight the best drivers out there, but rain will always bring out the naysayers who say it isn't actually a comeback on outright pace.

Eddie and Coulthard never give Hamilton enough credit. Not washed up lost his edge at all just didn’t have the car under him. Coulthard is Redbull so can never give an unbiased opinion never has. Wouldn’t surprise me Eddie steers Newey away from Ferrari so Hamilton doesn’t get anymore success

Grade A conspiracy

He doesn't undermine or underestimate Lewis at all! He just gives him the credit he deserves. It's the fans who always seem to want more than Lewis himself can ever offer. Lewis is one of the best drivers of his generation, an incredible talent and phenomenon! But he is just not at the level of a Senna, Schumacher or Verstappen because these are completely different characters than Lewis is. Lewis is a completely different driver, a calculated perfectionist, a technician with a tremendous capacity for consistency!

[@andyglastonbury6032]

I know that I will be hung drawn and quartered, but LeClerc is the definition of the emperors new clothes. Like Russell he can put together a fast lap, on some days he can have a good race, but when you take a more holistic look at his performances over a season its all been, well crappy. Lacks the consistency that really good drivers have. That said he is still better than Sainz, but Ferrari have a second rate line up of drivers.

[@Cloxxki]

Max in clearly the 3rd fastest car, gets 2nd place and expands his championship lead. That's a win, from lower ground. That was with Russell having a strong weekend, Piastri stronger than ever and Norris with great pace as well.

[@jennybarratt3521]

Will u please address him correctly as sir Lewis I know he has deserved it and u sir are being disrespectful

[@rotormasher]

Lol

[@Cloxxki]

Eddie makes a good point about Max's late surges. If GPs were 350 in stead of 300 kms, it would probably be all that much harder to beat Max. Why? Time equalized eternal factors and with RBR's operations and Max being the top of the bill, together they overcome a whole lot of attrition. Imagine a late safety car, with 2 laps to go. Who'd you fancy for the win then? Piastri was catching Max was catching Lewis.

[@wwilll]

Eddies a bit like Sleepy Joe, he’s loosing his marbles.

[@OneIdeaTooMany]

He was in P1 and the pitwall asked him to go slow in the relaunch and try to protect Lecrerc. who was P2 on old hards and ahead of LH and someone else(s) (I don´t remember) who were also on new soft. Sainz answer was "C'mon, stop inventing" and proceded to win.

[@bobabout256]

British GP was fantastic as a Brit in the crowd for 3days. The qualifying and the race were just exhilarating to see. Where I was everyone was decent towards Max and sport won. However, the experience was tainted. Just to try to send a message to Silverstone, if anyone cares, they need to sort out the general circulation spaces. Mud, flooded areas now her to escape. Open sided marquee shelters would do is, one Cadbury tent and Logo kids zone, WTF. We know the UK has the potential to be bad in July but virtually no provision to escape under cover it in the general circulation space is just poor customer service. Silverstone is an expensive exploitative experience. I had a covered Grandstand moving out for food and facilities and standing about in filth getting soaked with nowhere to shelter is unacceptable.

What I think may happen in the coming races is Mercedes will falter, Mclaren will slip back, Ferrari will miraculously climb back up the grid, and later Red Bull will suddenly drive off into the distance again having turned the power back up. Of course this isn't normal, because it seems to be ever so slightly manipulated to make it more interesting.

Piastri... Oscar will also have to deal with Max Verstappen first:-) they are contemporaries and as long as Max continues to participate in a competent car, it will also be a hell of a job for Piastri to beat this Max! Because I certainly see the talent and a kind of calm that radiates self-confidence in Oscar, but I have not yet been able to observe that fire that radiates from Max, Ayrton or Michael

Very confused about all the shit talk regarding what they said about Lewis before this race. It seems like it was all facts, being constantly beat by Russell. I would also say it’s accurate that his performance at silverstone shows a lot of hope that he is in fact “back”.
