Max can handle the rain for sure but it's good that if dry then pressure will be put on Merc with the Ham PU as Dr. Marko has explained.

If they turn it down then it's a Sunday drive almost guaranteed for Max unless Bot suddenly gets a hole in one and I can't see that happening with the dejection and the Merc stranglehold on him from the just one yearly contracts.

Checo will be the key-factor by HAM's ICE replacement and his 5P grid penalty.

EDIT : Let us not forget that Gasly is running really well ..
And of course he runs with a HONDA PU as well !

So...Checo has some work to do !

Listened to the Bottas interview on Beyond he Grid. His honesty makes him an incredibly likable dude. No doubt Merc will miss him for what he didn’t bring to table, no ego and no drama. Hammy will miss him the most.

It’s clear Toto/Hammy handled Bottas emotionally every step of the way, the way bottas sometimes exhibits Stockholm syndrome traits, Toto used to tell him “pressure is good, turns coal into diamonds” supporting consecutive 1 year deals. This explains why he prefers his time with Williams over Merc.

Hopefully his time with Alpha will allow him to end on a high note, independent of race wins.

Four races left with Merc he may want to rebel against Wolff and charge after Max and Checo though his map may be turned down slightly to get him to end of race for the constructors.
I honestly don't see how toto will handle this if Bot has had enough of the 'coals to diamonds' natter.

I'd "Accidentally" wreck Hammy if I were getting kicked out like BOT.

Yes, I'm the revengeful type!!!

We can see Bot is not happy behind that smile, but he'd hold back on the wreck bit as there may be a bonus for him 'if' he behaves. Really though how can a no. 2 have a reasonable convo with Toto but with Russell I think it will be a different scenario with Ham approaching the porch rocking chair.

Never understood all this crying over second team mates…

He chose to leave.
Why do people think he was treated unfairly?
How should he have been treated?

How is he going to have a better situation in another team? Especially a non-competitive (today, who knows next year with the new cars) team…

HAM , the latest :

HAM was just questioned about his ICE replacement ..

HAM said :"I don't know anything about that at the moment.I don't even think the engines are there"
=> https://www.gpblog.com/nl/nieuws/985...eens-zijn.html

HAM said : 'I cannot really comment (on a new engine) at the moment,' Hamilton, 36, said. 'As far as I am aware, my engines are fine, but I will find out later on.'
=> https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/fo...es-engine.html

Personally I'm thinking 3 things ..

1- HAM is a dirty liar.
2- HAM will get a ICE replacement with more power .
3- It was just rumours .

We'll see that soon enough !

Telling portrait posted by Hammy

He is a top driver, but this stuff is cringe worthy.

Seems like a desperate attempt to gain fan support in Brazil.

I suppose it’s better than tweeting in Spanish to the Portuguese-speaking crowd, but not much of an improvement.

If Ham gets a new PU with more power then would it be something that was already ''cleared'' secretly with Fia beforehand...I wonder.

Well , actually they kicked BOT's A$$ from behind the curtains !
I'm pretty sure , BOT is very happy to leave the BlitzKrieg and to be HAM's lapdog ...

And the Russell (doll) was aware of it , already during the winterstop ...
