FIA are letting Lewis do celebration donuts with the podium finishers at the end of the race even if he doesnt finish on the podium himself, thats cool

[DGP123]

I don’t really see why they need to allow that. He’s leaving a team, he’s not retiring. If that’s the case, KMag, Bottas, Zhou & Sainz should be doing donuts.

Just hope he has a good swansong. Gets round, has some great overtakes, and a nice haul of points.

Thanks Lewis for the memories.

19-5 in qualifying, quite the gap

British bias.

I thought the same and said similar in the discord channel.

It would be far better to have the WDC and WCC cars there doing the celebratory donuts rather than the top 3 and 1 driver whos off to another team.

FIA, FoM and Liberty should atleast try to hide their bias towards LH and not openly genuflect in front of #blackjesus (an ok hashtag for his fans, considering how much PR is invested into portraying him as a victim because he is black, and how, he still is an unselfish messiah of the masses).

What about guys like Kmag, Zhou, Bottas, who may never race again ? Hamilton is only moving from one team to another

Who cares? Cringey fake outrage. Let him do some donuts, it's for the fans. He's had a great career with Merc, longest ever service to one team by races, most championships with one team. Let them celebrate a bit.

Great drive, Lewis. Nice overtake at the end too. Thanks for the memories.

Shame Lewis didnt qualify higher, could have easily gotten a podium

My thoughts too. If he had been retiring then I think it would've been a nice gesture, but he'll still be here next year!

A few donuts were worth it for his drive today I guess.

The lack of donuts from everyone else was disappointing though.

I also wonder what they would've done if he'd had an anonymous race, or crashed out.It's all a bit odd.

Any other race and Russell would have opened the steering on the last lap there and ran him wide, but alas.

You could make your point without bringing race into it, right? Try harder, thank you.

FWIW, i agree, there's no need for such celebration as he's not retiring, he's just moving to Ferrari.
