I think that was Hamilton passing Stroll?Hammerfist wrote: ↑26 Nov 2023, 17:02How did Alonso pass Lewis back? I assume he made a mistake. But then Alonso started pulling away. Weird one. Lewis drove like he checked out for the season races ago. To fight verstappen next year in a near equal car his current level isn’t good enough imo.
Calm down it’s just one race where he wasn’t comfortable in the car. He’s embarrassed George for the most part this season and got them p2 in constructorsHammerfist wrote: ↑26 Nov 2023, 17:02How did Alonso pass Lewis back? I assume he made a mistake.

Agreed, it is very sad to resort to outright sabotaging the competitor for a P2 in the WCC. Toto gets the profit percentage as the team shareholder, so I get why the 20 mil is important to him. Still a sad thing, yeah...
No, it was alonso. Ham overtook him when alo came out the pits at 2 tenths gap, then alonso re-overtook him next lap and drove off. Somewhere in all this was the brake check/DRS chicken, but i didnt check exactly when.AR3-GP wrote: ↑26 Nov 2023, 17:03I think that was Hamilton passing Stroll?Hammerfist wrote: ↑26 Nov 2023, 17:02How did Alonso pass Lewis back?

Alonso exited the pits ahead of Hamilton and never looked back iirc. I also thought, wait this can't be right, but it was confusing with the late stoppers.
How on earth can anyone, who’s not in a dominant RB, showcase a level of driving, on a par with MV? Hamilton has been the best of the rest over the entire season, what more could he have done?Hammerfist wrote: ↑26 Nov 2023, 17:02Lewis drove like he checked out for the season races ago.

Totally agree. LH didn't have a fantastic or flawless year either and being 7WDC, no one will fault him. like today he finished behind Yuki in a car that is good to finish on the podium. When LH was 25 years old, I remember him making many mistakes too, which is why LH himself never scored very well in terms of most race win in a season.101FlyingDutchman wrote: ↑26 Nov 2023, 14:32I think you’re all a bit unkind to GR. He’s obviously going to try a little harder. Singapore was a real high profile mistake. The merc has been a real handful at times. Yes he’s got lots to learn but his innate speed is there. Race craft and tyre knowledge will come
Lewis only won 57% of Mercedes' points for starters.Venturiation wrote: ↑26 Nov 2023, 16:54it's lewis that won that P2 with 70% of his points cry somewhere else
