2022 Mercedes-AMG | Petronas F1 Team

Bottas could not have raced Max the way George did today. George joining the team is a definitely upgrade.

Think the George comments were warranted. Drove well today, and utilised the car advantage he had. Expecting a different story tomorrow though. Lewis and Max are different animals on Sundays , and Russell ballsed up his pole in Hungary.

Today essentially was a Sunday. Don’t follow your logic.

George took first pole, first sprint race and if the win is possible he definetly deserves it.

All under circumstances where HAM was compromised but yes fully deserved.

I am getting a feeling, Lewis has expended all his good fortune in Championship years and every time there is an opportunity for glory, it's going to be George there to collect it.

The part where Lewis actually starts next to Russell and not back in 8th. That part. Lewis has shown better race pace/tyre management over entire stints on heavier fuel too, not just 20 odd laps. Also, Max, damage or no damage, and not being on the mediums, will be a different prospect. Today is nothing like yesterday.

For avoidance of any clash i hope Lewis gets the better start and scampers off into the distance.

George tends to have the worse starts compared to Lewis, but he's like Ocon when it comes to fighting teammates.

Does anybody know what speed advantage Lewis had on the straights? Apparently, he was running less downforce than George.

Was that the case in Mexico?

A slipstream might have helped Hamilton's velocity, but there is no denying that W13 is in its element in Brazil this weekend.

10 kph apparently

Really not sure how anyone here can still support Mercedes after the recent on news on petronas actions in Malaysia and Indonesia which border on crimes against humanity, I love Lewis and George but have lost absolutey all respect for Toto and the Mercedes team after not even talking about the ethnic cleansing that petronas has done, nevermind the fact that they have ruined throusands of acres of rainforest in the last few years. And now the car isn’t even that good anymore
What a joke this team has become

Wow, you didn't know about that? That was known for years now. Not to mention what 90% of the other sponsoring corporations have done. Take a look at Aramco/Shell

[PlatinumZealot]

All oil companies commit atrocities really. Shell. BP. Total. Petronas. You name them..

Nope, didn’t know about that, I had assumed that with all of Lewis’ environmentalists concerns, and how much influence he has with Toto, such atrocities would mean an immediate removal of the sponsor.
Saying that every oil company isn’t any better.
