X is toxic, hell I've just seen the LH cult attacking Toto because he stated Russell was managing his pace in Vegas.

So it's fair game for saying X-driver has a cult now? OK then... seems to be allowed by the moderators!

Yes it is very fair game, unless you are part of that toxic portion of the fanbase you will know what I mean. And that's not saying all Lewis Hamilton fans are like that, just a well known few on X.

It's not entirely fair... all drivers have "cults" on social media because people develop parasocial relationships with them. The Lewis one might be more noticeable because he's a 7 world champ and has more following than others but it's the same with every driver, they are all unreasonable. Max fans pretend he's Jesus, Perez fans attack anyone who says he's underperforming, Alonso fans say he's still at his peak at 43y old... and don't get me started on the Leclerc crazy cult where he's never wrong no matter what...

Perhaps, but the delusion with that lot is unreal, I'm a Lewis fan but they are unbearable lol.

Mick Schumacher will depart the Mercedes reserve role at the end of F1 2024. Bottas return?

Some drivers have a remarkable shelf life. Just like good wine the improve with age. Bottas is one of them…

If there is a will there is a way. See Nico Hulkenberg. He came back like twice! Sad that he has no podiums. His chances might even be worse now at Audi than at Haas.

GR has been on it again.

[AR3-GP]

GR is in the best form that I've ever seen him to be in. He is absolutely ready to lead Mercedes next year.

Russell is on fire, this is legitimately the only time where I feel Lewis is partnered with a superior driver, it pains me to say it but he's been head & shoulders better this season.

Russell will lead after the first corner probably.

The engine getting lost and recharging because he didn't lift is hilarious.

Russell will win both races, you've heard it here first, I'm looking forward to my winnings.

Sad times but for me he should retire, if he gets a hammering next season which he almost certainly will, it's only going to have a negative effect on his legacy, I don't want him to and up with the reputation of Vettel but it's looking like it's going to end up that way.

I know he's struggling right now but retiring is a bit much, despite his quali pace hes still getting wins and podiums. Also i'd wait until he hops in the ferrari next year to see if it continues
