The one word answer thing (and subsequent doubling down on it) tells you all you need to know about him. As I said above, he’s petty, vindictive, spoilt and lacking the class you associate with most champions. If that’s what floats your boat, fair enough
If also add dealing with “media” is a large part of the job. If u don’t like it you know where the door that Casey Stoner left from is
Verstappen: "I am very proud of this season because for most of it - I would say for 70% - we didn’t have the fastest car. But actually we still extended our lead so that is something I am very proud of." Lando Norris: "Massive congrats to him. He's deserved it. He has not put a foot wrong the whole year. That’s a strength of his. He has no downsides, no negatives. When he’s had the quickest car, he dominated races. When he’s not had the quickest car, he still been just behind us and almost winning the races anyway. He has not had any bad races all year. He has just driven as Max has always driven, which is perfectly and can’t fault him anywhere." George Russell: "Exceptional, he had a dominant car at the start of the year and got the wins when he needed to and then probably thought he wasn’t going to win the championship. And then he delivered week-in, week-out and got the result the car was capable of and his rivals didn’t." Lewis Hamilton: "He has done a fantastic job, not made any mistakes and delivered every time and every point he is supposed to. Really happy for him."
https://www.crash.net/f1/news/10610...ack-against-george-russell-i-lost-all-respect Whens this fat tongued beaut going to stop his cry arsing? He literally has a new target every race weekend these days. Cant wait to see him lose his title next year.
Tbh i can probably count the amount of races i watch each year on one hand but that may increase next year if wonky gob starts his long overdue and predicted decline down the grid. Fingers crossed.
Why did Norris get a 10 second stop/go, which is actually more like 30 seconds for not slowing down where they weren’t picking up that wing mirror? Yet Hammy gets 5 seconds added on for pit lane speeding? oh yes, Maclaren could win the Constructors along with Ferrari Just saying.
Lando got his penalty because Max made a fuss about it on radio, rather than getting on with his own race. Irrespective of whether Lando deserved a penalty (and 10sec s/s is BS in my eyes), nobody likes a grass.
Max lifted under double yellows, Lando didn’t. Hardly fair is it? I thought the penalty was harsh. But rules are rules. Lando fucked up.
Hamilton rolled before lights out. Nailed on penalty. And he speeded in pitlane, again, nailed on penalty.
I like Hamilton but find him hard work, he’s just a bit grumpy and snappy and it always makes for awkward interviews. I get that he doesn’t have a lot to say about why he’s struggling but he still just keeps giving these grumpy few word interviews
Wait till he gets to Ferrari and he’s No.2 driver. Plus having to deal with the sometimes Keystone Cops Italian strategy. He’ll be next level grumpy…
im not sure he’s gonna be number 2 driver on 100million euro!!!! Will be the opposite, they will want him to be beating Charles and winning races by 3 races in and if he isn’t they will be cutthroat and get rid of him and get Ollie berman in for 2026 on about 3 million euro, they absolutely will have a plan
It’ll be interesting to see if he gets the upper hand on LeClerec. I’m not so sure… If it wasn’t for bad luck, bad strategy this season Russell would be out of sight ahead of Hamilton. And I know from personal experience that Italians can be a little complex to work with. Put it this way, I doubt they’ll tolerate his diva strops…
Yes Lando ballsed up but 30 sec penalty was way too much especially as no one was bothering to move that mirror. Im sure Bottas ran over it on purpose.
I haven't watched any races this year only a few bits at friends etc, but i'd see his donuts yesterday on the start / finishline. Maybe all red paintwork & pants just might work for him for next season like MM in motogp.
