From the first 3 races Lewis has easily defeated George..
Forgetting the Saudi Arabian GP? I would say they are fairly even overall. Hamilton obviously had a shocker there in Saudi Arabia with a poor qualifying and a P10 vs Russell in P5 IIRC. Of course, Russell similarly had a shocker in Bahrain qualifying.

Otherwise there seems to be margin of a tenth and a half between the drivers at the most when there are no errors from either. "Easily defeated" would, instead, apply to scenarios like the margin of 1+ seconds which Albon usually holds over Latifi.
These new cars will keep all teammates close. Within a tenth and a half at their best.
Even mighty Max is scratching his head over how close Perez is.
Sainz has not put a good race together since the first race and is still finding his way.
Ocon and Alonso are very close.
Daniel and Norris very close as well.
So its all been very close amongst competent drivers. No one will be easily defeated this year. The cars really allow battles to be won and lost multiples of times during a race.
For Sure!!

Any news about a new floor for Imola ?

Just realised Mercedes does not have a promising junior ready anymore, now they have Russel in the driver seat.

So who is on the shortlist for Hamiltons replacement?

More likely either trying to get Ocon back or paying Mclaren a fairly large amount for Norris.
Remains to be seen what will be the situation for Sainz and Ricciardo in a couple of years, they can be more conservative choices.

Or bring back Bottas :lol:

As an Arsenal fan? Seems odd.

Not sure about that as a Chelsea FC fan. Hamilton is a fan of Arsenal FC.

Normally clubs are bought by billionaires. Don’t know how much wealth him and serena have, but I bet there’ll be a Middle Eastern with much more capital than those two together.

He’s a minor backer in a consortium, his purported stake would amount to less than half a percent. He isn’t vying to be any kind of principal ‘owner’.

Seems like a decent place to park some money, good bit of business imo.

I think his priority is getting finishes and points this year. He can keep sparkle for when it will make a difference.

2 second a lap down! What is going on at Mercedes. I remember someone here said they have the most downforce of any car on the grid which is one of the reasons for porpoising. Their tyre struggles paints a different picture. They may have more problems than anyone seem to think.

The car was always bad in cold weather. Even the W12.
