Strong Reports that Sir Lewis has signed...

If true, let the wailing and gnashing of teeth begin!!

Japanese source: Autosport Web (https://www.as-web.jp/f1/666613?all)

translated:


"Lewis Hamilton and the team hope to announce a new driver contract later this week, according to sources close to Mercedes F1.

It seems that agreement has been reached on basic terms such as contract years, basic salary and bonuses, and veto exercise regarding teammate selection, and now both representative lawyers have removed the remaining legal obstacles and both parties are satisfied."

Why doesn't RBR get their asses in gear and start working harder? Oh wait, easier to complain about their lack of success.

Hamilton is being honest....I don't think anyone is disputing the performance advantage that the Mercedes car has over the rest of the field.
Could another driver have scored as many DWCs as Hamilton in his car...possibly.
Could another driver have the same or better stats as Hamilton...its debatable but I would suggest most well informed unbiased observers of F1 would say not.
Sure most any decent F1 driver can win races in the best car...not many can win when they don't.
Again (yawn) Turkey 2020 was the perfect example of this...but not the only example by far.
Toto made the point quite succinctly...other drivers who think they are the best driver in F1 have to ask themselves the question...why aren't they in the car instead of Hamilton.

Even if crashtappen managed to get a drive in the Mercedes...it wouldn't do him much good the rate at which he crashes.

driving into the back of Stroll and then throwing a massive tantrum blaming Stroll with some pretty crappy language.

*Mirror signal and manoeuvre on the road. On the track it's mirror then manoeuvre which Lance sadly didn't use...it's plainly obvious or you shouldn't be driving

Who is the dramatizer who officially named it the "Verstappen Clause"? Lmao Merc would never put those two together. Hamilton would've needed a "choose any teammate you want" clause for there to even be a chance in hell of that pairing at Merc.
