Yep, and the reason he's so kind to his tyres.
Wants to visit the Mercedes pits as few times as humanely possible in case they fuck it all up

The four wasted seats next year will be Stroll, Vettel, Bottas and Albon. Hopefully RB decide to change that. |

Over a full season Lewis can still beat Russell I think but it would actually make him work for it unlike bottas. I can see him advocating for Russell |

Confirmed that Lewis is the reason Mercedes dominates. #blessed You may joke but there's plenty of times that Lewis has called off Merc plans for pit stops, or decided to pit when Merc didn't want to and it has been the difference between winning and losing Would Lewis have agreed with Merc to pit today? He def would've questioned it.... Maybe he'd have looked after his tyres enough to the point of not needing to? We'll never know Coincidence or not, the last two weekends that Mercedes was totally lost were the ones Hamilton was ill. |

Let's not judge on this race only. Hamilton's racecraft and strategy wouldn't have shined on such a race / track configuration anyway, it does on other type of tracks, when degradation is high, when conditions are difficult like on Turkey, snatching wins that weren't his. You can't just ditch all of that because of one occurence of an oval track. It would be like judging Hamilton and Mercedes solely on Germany 2019. |

This is the best F1 season I can remember. Seriously. And after this race Bottas is done. |

And coupled with the ultra-passive/vanilla Bottas, it's no surprise that #44 continues to easily pad those stats. So after all this evidence you're still going with "it's the car, not the driver?" Well, it's not. It's the team as a whole. The Driver is a big part of that, as much as people don't want to admit it Don't get you panties in a bunch over it though Don't worry I'm not but thanks for your concern. Just going by what's becoming more and more evident out there

Sod's law will be that Lewis will somehow resurrect himself for next week and the next time George is in a Mercedes, the 2022 rules have changed the game and they're nowhere |

plus Perez broke the record for races before the first win by a big margin. Webber took 130, he won in his 190th start |

russell had a brilliant drive, and his puncture was unfortunate. but in regards to how well the car itself performs, is also boosted by how hamilton has helped develop the car and set it up to his driving style. russell made the most of his opportunity, and the team will have the data to show just how well he measures up to hamilton. the prospect of them being on the same team and racing against each other is something to really look forward to |
