Been there got the tee shirt. There has always been pecking orders among teams. Barachello almost parked up 10 yards short of the finish line to allow Michael to win, Webber was leading comfortably until a technician flicked a switch on a control panel and poor Mark glides to a mysterious halt, suspected hydraulic failure. It may sound conspiratorial but believe me it happens has been for the decades.

100% if Hamilton was driving Mercs would have had a 1 - 2. He would have been further ahead, the team would have been calmer. Thats why he’s a seven time champ.

Hamilton would not have gone in for new boots.

I’d chip in a pound to get Russell in the mercs for next year alongside Hamilton

He isn’t a rookie, he is finishing his second season in F1.
There will be pressure but he’s driven over 6,500 km in Merc F1 cars, he is a contracted Merc driver.
Anything can happen even when you are at the front.
Technically he isn't a rookie, but most in racing would call him a rookie as did Toto in the after-race interview.
Who's right Toto and Mouldy or Hampster?
Artie Fufkin has almost run that mileage this year, let's get a sense of perspective, he jumps in a brand new car to him that has been set up size wise and to suit Hamilton over years and shows to be consistently quick at practice and qualifying.
Then he absolutely dominates until Merc screw up big style.
George is a good driver he has the fastest most dominate car by a margin.
Just like I said multiple times your nothing without the car, back of the grid to front of the grid doing amazing overtakes when dropped down from pitstops.
The car is such an advantage, how many championships would hamilton have won without the merc? How many championships would merc win without Hamilton?
Who's knows exactly but I can guarantee Merc would have won most.
I will take that as a post of agreement that perhaps you and some on here have over-hyped Hamilton, maybe because of his colour, I don't know.
I am wondering after Georges performance whether he should protect his name because he might like to start up a company making toasters or breeding dogs.
Perhaps he should take Russell Hobbs and Jack Russell owners club to court?
Not sure if he will actually because he is a different breed of animal to Hamilton.

Moreso - he didn't even get any new tyres out of the mess.

I see where some of the oddballs on here could go with that line. Yes, all the usual suspects! But I know you are not one of them.
His self-obsession is different from most and that's why I find it hard to respect him as a person and have labelled him as an arse.

No Mouldy, its not technically, its factually.
Happy to see your alleged Toto quote, forgive me the skepticism given your posts on this thread.Like i said, 100% Hamilton wins that and Bottas second, if Hamilton was racing, but the team panicked without their leader and to quote Toto, it was “a colossal **** up”. Great drivers make it look easy to those who don't understand.
I don't really see colour in everybody in that the way many seem to on here, i see fathers, sons, mothers, wife's, colleagues, friends etc. In Hamilton i see an exceptional sportsman so great amongst his peers that he’s worthy of recognition.
Anyway, given your posts on this thread my judgement is that you are either fishing, ignorant or bigoted (i really hope not worse) or to varying degrees bit of all of them. I had assumed the former but who knows. I’ll leave you to it.

Toto quote is factual. (channel 4)
You keep convincing yourself that Hamilton has not had about 5 World Championship because he was in a BEST car that was dominant. The only one I will give him proper credit for was 2018, as he had some real pressure early on in the season from Vettel.
I will reiterate, the car is a far bigger factor in Hamiltons Championships than the driver.
Of course, I will credit him with 2008, but as for Merc as a team, 2018 is the only one he had any pressure in.
Russell going from the back of the grid to front in one week is no coincidence, It's clear you do not want to see that.

Russell performed impressively in practice 1 and 2, poorly in 3, well in quali and finished the race 9th. So he went from his best ever result of 12th to 9th
His time will come and elements of the weekend shows. A future superstar, but didn't deliver this time. Hamilton would have won it.Ive have said many times the merc is the best car now. You keep forgetting Hamilton is where he is because he is the best driver. See Ronaldo at Madrid in his heyday, Messi at Barca etc.

Haha Hampster, I will just leave this one for good with the evidence, keep believing it and it may come true.

Well that is pleasing. I'd definitely warm to him a lot more if this is indeed fact. I just don't like his attitude sometimes, comes across quite arrogant, what with what I thought was his tax dodging etc I've just never really warmed to him.

It seems a bit strange hamiltons young stand in jumped in the car and nearly won the race but for his own team giving him the wrong tyres.
Its quite clearly the car not the driver that's winning all these races.
