Just watched the highlights on channel 4. Just another day at the office for Lewis.
it is a 100% fact that Lewis was deffering the singing of his contract as he said he "needed to know if Toto was staying"
that is a lie imo, or are you suggesting he would leave if Toto left?
the reason why he said that (imo) was so that Bottas signed first, for the reasons i gave in my post above
F1 is an interesting sport - If I was a Boss at Mercedes Benz I would question the need to pay a driver such a high salary, when the car is good enough that a driver on a much lower salary put in it, could still win races.

But will Verstappen’s time come at Red Bull or will he have to move to Mercedes (or someone else if another team comes to the fore in the new regs)?Same as every sport?
Will answer politely, Hamilton delivers. The great drivers are defined by tenths of a second over their team mate and results, Hamilton is the real deal - wet or dry. I think you are forgetting the testing, feedback. Hamilton love or loathe, is top dog, Verstappen reminds me of Schumacher in his earlier years, his time will come.
The greatest drivers usually end up driving the best cars - there is a period of domination, Hamilton deservedly is riding the wave.
Max is currently ahead of bottas in the championship. We’ve seen the fastest constructor not always win the championship.
This is correct, in a good car some drivers can lift their own skills and abilities even higher, to a new threshold. Whereas some can't...This.
Even with the fastest car, you still need a very good driver to guarantee you the championship.
The sometimes large difference between teammates in points at the end of the year shows this.
Also, as shown even in this season, it's rare you have the fastest car on every track and in every condition as well. When you don't you need a brilliant driver to get you as many points as possible.
He did have the puncture though.

Voted 6 because of the midfield action which was decent.
You only have to look at the difference in performance and results between Hamilton, Bottas and Rosberg in the same car to see that Hamilton is worth the money. He consistently drives the Mercedes faster than his teammates, and consistently brings home the wins and the points. Hamilton's performance across a whole season is remarkable for his regular high scoring performance, which another driver in the same car can't match. How many times have we seen an absurd qualifying lap from Hamilton that's significantly faster than his team mate, let alone the other cars?
The best drivers end up in the best cars, because it equates to wins and championships.
