[McNamara That Ghost...]

Wait, what? :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes, the track is newly resurfaced (and badly, it seems) and the rain was coming down so we had a rare glimpse at the actual talent of these drivers. Hamilton was almost 5 seconds behind a guy driving the car Hamilton drove last year.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stroll, Perez and Albon on the podium as it stands. :bow:

How many times has Bottas been for a spin?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Bottas doing his bit to ensure Hamilton gets number 7.

Some dedication being stuck in 17th though. :lol:

[GP]

I am staggered there hasn't been a safety car.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Vettel pits!

Oh there we go, Ferrari fuck it up in the pits. :haha:

Brat.

Magnussen is out.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hamilton leads the race.

[GP]

HAM leads by 5.0 already

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Stroll behind both Ferraris!

[GP]

Presumably he will need to stop again soon.

It's all gone wrong for Stroll.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Leclerc passes Vettel.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Grosjean and Latifi collide.

[GP]

we had a rare glimpse at the actual talent of these drivers, as usual, Lewis comes out on top.

Lewis Hamilton :bow:

What a drive

He`s that too

[GP]

https://i.redd.it/914j4quv8ez51.png

Lewis finished the race on slicks.

[Niall_Quinn]

Once the weather cleared and Hamilton got his toys back it was an easy win. But it was great to see a bit of real racing beforehand. Three borefests in the desert next.

Grosjean is ok.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Then again, having seen him, certainly needs to go to hospital.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

The car exploded in half thankfully.

Haven't seen anyhting like that in years.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Decades.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All of the pit crew and drivers are still massively shaken up.

[GP]

Halo probably saved his life.

[GP]

Props to the marshalls and medical crew. That was horiffic.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I said thankfully it split in two but I didn't realise the fireball side was the one he was in! Crazy.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Seeing the wreckage of the car is. :wacko:

Really disappointed that Russell didn't claim some sort of victim status and then demand his car be painted white. Guy seems pretty one dimensional, all he knows is how to race the car. Clueless on the important stuff.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Russell blowing the whole Hamilton myth wide open. Hilarious. I bet you BLM boy will be back, double quick, next week.

did he though?

yes russell looked very good but i wonder how comfortable he would have been if Vertsappen was still in the race.

however Hamilton is the greatest driver not just because of the car, but how he gets performance out of it that others can't. Take the Turkey grand prix for example, they couldn't get it right at all but somehow he won by making his intermediates last (well they were virtually slicks by the end of it) yet other drivers couldn't match that performance. Each corner was taken perfectly so that he stayed on the racing line and he won.

There are other drives, too numerous to mention where he delivered drives no one else could have. Silverstone in 2008 where he finished a minute & a half ahead of everyone in the wet? Thats not a myth.

don't bother trying to change NQ's mind with facts - he doesn't like Hamilton because he's black and NQ's a racist, it's that simple

An you are a low grade piece of shit for saying that. Lefty filth that can't confront any argument so instead resorts to the usual smears and claims that you can't find a single piece of evidence to support. Or maybe you can?

Are you prepared to put up?

A pity, i thought i'd got you to moderate your language.

I think a lot of people would look at what you write on here - and the people you support like Trump - and reach the same conclusion - ideally i'd employ a psychologist to analyse your posts but i can't afford it

And btw where's your evidence that i'm a leftie, commie etc, which is what you call me - it's because of what i write on this board, right?

So why is it alright for you to do it and not me?

However I'll show i'm more grown up and moderate my statement and say 'i personally think he says things which indicate he may be a racist'

Better?

Here's my evidence - in your own words above. Projection and pinning your own sins on others, classic lefty signature. Only a lefty could swim in the gutter and then try to claim the moral high ground. I call you a lefty and a commie based on what you type. And based on what you don't type, I refrain from calling you a wife beater or a child molester. You see how it works?

Yeah, I made a wild guess and figured you wouldn't be supporting your conclusions with anything substantive. Instead we get the, "other people think, other people say", security blanket you are so fond of. Here's another guess, not so wild. Woke will go broke in 2021 as more people get sick of it.

"I call you a lefty and a commie based on what you type. "

Exactly, and in the same way I called you a racist based on my opinion of what you type

So again, no difference - so spare me the faux outrage

And I called you out and asked you to give examples of what I type that can be classed as racism, and I don't mean by your woke, snowflake standard, I mean by the legal standard. And you declined to put your money where your mouth is. And I declined to be in the least bit surprised.
