Ever the complete competitor, Hamilton confirmed he was still charging as hard as he could to make the difference. Never a fan of working on the simulator, he explained he had spent seven hours in one day last week on the Mercedes simulator at their Brackley HQ and a further four on Monday as he prepared to head to the Jeddah circuit in Saudi Arabia, which is hosting its first race.
The track, which features long straights and almost 80% of a lap at full throttle, should on paper favour Mercedes but Hamilton was taking nothing for granted, noting how conditions at the venue and the track surface would play a role in whether his team could find the sweet spot for their car which has been notoriously hard to nail down this season.
Most recently Horner has been blunt in stating his belief that the Mercedes rear wing is flexing illegally, delivering a straightline speed advantage. Red Bull are likely to protest about the wing in Saudi Arabia.
Mercedes are confident their wing is completely legal. Hamilton, who confirmed he has checked with his team that is the case, took exception to a claim he believes is unfounded and, he implied, unsportsmanlike.
“If it is egos fighting each other there is defence, there is respect,” he said. “But what is important, I did see someone say something about cheating and that’s the worst claim to ever make. We have done all these tests and this is where it is. I don’t like it when people put that out there.”

He exposed himself too much and now this kind of backlash happens because people automatically connect him with everything in the team.ringo wrote: ↑03 Dec 2021, 04:55Looks like people are targeting a driver that has no say about which sponsors go on his car.

You can take a look what is happening in the US for example. How are things from 100, 200 years ago exploited and used for agenda of certain organisations and individuals. It is a clown world and we are all caught in this circus.NathanOlder wrote: ↑03 Dec 2021, 12:01how sad are some people. Its absolutely pathetic!
I guess these people have issues with everything VW related ? considering VW was created by the Nazi party wasn't it ? Didn't Max drive with a VW badge on his chest for a year ? I guess this was an issue too ? Or its just idiots being pathetic as usual
