He had some pretty rubbish luck that season, with several retirements. All things even it was 50/50.

It's definitely a shame that he hasn't had a decent opportunity. I'd at least rate him above the likes of Bottas and Perez.

I'm sure teams consider preferred driving styles but highly doubt they're building a car around 1 particular driver, or even favouring 1 particular driver unless they have a clear understanding of their car, and that car is a top performer e.g. RB.

It shows how much more writing/story matters over flashy scenes. I’ll take a good storyline and strong acting every time.

The whole idea of someone being a WDC is that they can make the best out of anything - Alonso is a great example. You’d have to be pretty small-minded to think that a team would gimp one driver and risk losing places in the WCC. Lewis just seems to have checked out or, similar to Danny Ric...

If you watch a lot of post race stuff then you usually get the bigger picture, but I don’t think many people look beyond what’s aired. While I doubt Lewis ever said “the car is amazing”, the messages obviously paint a more negative image.

That doesn't surprise me - can imagine they do it for the added drama. Probably a similar situation with "Bono, my tyres" where the TV director was trying to keep things going.

You're saying that, because RB have the fastest car, Max winning doesn't validate his talent as a driver. Lewis won because he had the fastest car so clearly those titles are invalid. By your logic, Lando shouldn't get DotD because he had the 2nd fastest car. The poll is perceived performance...

I genuinely only saw 1 so if he did then cool; I just heard the multiple radio messages complaining about the car and didn't see him move up the pack much in the early stages. There were so many incidents ahead of him, not to mention the various safety cars so it looked like he made most of the...

I love the selective logic. Should write in to the FIA and ask that they revoke Lewis's titles ;)

I'd also put him ahead of Perez but difficult to say by how much as it's all relative to how good Max is vs Lewis. Bottas definitely had some wins on merit vs Perez where it's mostly just Max having an engine failure, although Bottas did seem to drop off massively in 2021. I'm happy with Norris...

Feels fitting that Stroll will now be able to contribute points because they're lowering the bar. I guess all of the top teams would be reluctant given that, if they're in a winning position in the future, they'd want to minimise competition. That being said, it goes both ways depending on how...

Agree that it's a good change - often the lower teams will sit at 0 for several races so it would be nice to see them have some exchanges.

I don’t think they cheated though, but people have some blind idea that other teams could have won in 22.

The other teams were so bad and the overspend minor. Not saying there wasn’t some advantage gained but people are dreaming if they think RB wouldn’t have won regardless.

Only if you're highly bias. It's pretty ridiculous the mental gymnastics that you lot go through to undermine 1 achievement while celebrating a separate era where a different driver and team were winning races by 24sec. RB might have built the best car and have the best driver at the moment...

He sounds like one of those garbage reaction Youtubers.

How is Lewis 2nd in the DotD? He's had like 2 or 3 overtakes - most of his position gain came from people crashing into each other. Norris definitely deserves it.

Button and Brundle are easily the best commentator combo.

And didn't lose any time. Insane reaction time.
