LH: "I just wasn't good enough...I've got lots to sort out on my side...The setup they have, the brake, steering wheel, it's a lot different. Just struggling with confidence...can't brake late..." This was him many races into 2013 talking about the Mercedes W04... Patience 🙏

I work as a Senior Data Scientist, it's a hybrid job though (3-4 days WFH each week) and thus I specifically know that these are my most productive days, and it's also cheaper & less draining. He's just out of touch. Attacking me doesn't change that.

But everyone won't drive until they're 45. These guys are the exception not the rule. Like Vettel showed, if you decline you go.
🚨 | Ralf Schumacher says Fernando Alonso and Lewis Hamilton’s longevity in F1 is limiting opportunities for young drivers: "If everyone races until they are 45, we can actually close F2 down." "At some point, there is simply no room left for the young drivers."

I really like him but using "aura" to describe Ferrari Vettel is hilarious
Vettel with the most aura by far

Max Verstappen on WFH workers being lazy: "Know what is a big problem in this world? A lot of people want to work from home. That's a problem because that makes you lazy. You are not fully occupied with what you have to do." ...So out of touch it's incredible

"No the team winning the recent races comfortably aren't the team to beat, we're focused on the teams behind" bro's admitting he strives for P2
🚨 | Fred Vasseur rejects the idea that Red Bull is F1’s team to beat: “They are doing very well, but it’s not the team to beat. You have to focus on McLaren and Mercedes.” “If you look at the season so far, Mercedes was flying. Then we won two races, McLaren won two, and Red Bull won two or three.”

Every single time a driver has won back to back WDC's, Lewis has asked to be their teammate. Proper racer.
🚨 | Christian Horner reveals that Lewis Hamilton was in negotiations with Red Bull in 2012. Adrian Newey was "ecstatic" about the prospect of Hamilton joining. However, Helmut Marko was "unimpressed" and feared Hamilton's arrival "would likely impact Sebastian [Vettel]".

Alonso, then Vettel, then Max. Every other back to back WDC since he was around was him.

If I ask you for the time and someone else asks you to kill a family, did we "do the same thing"?
Toto did this all year, were u even there in 2021 watching the entire season or did u just watch the final lap of abu dhabi??

Básicamente la carrera de Lewis Hamilton: -Se planta contra Alonso (2x campeón del mundo en su prime) y gana el liderazgo del equipo en su 1º año -Recibe a Button (actual campeón del mundo) en su equipo y le da una paliza en 2012 -Quiere irse a Red Bull a pelear contra Vettel en el mismo auto -Se va a Mercedes a pelear a Rosberg (equipo alemán, piloto alemán) -Se va a Ferrari a pelear a su actual líder y futuro campeón Charles Leclerc a sus 40 años. Pero de alguna manera tengo que leer que está sobrevalorado el único con huevos de pelear de tú a tú contra los mejores
🚨 Horner revela que HAMILTON se ofreció a Red Bull. ➡️ Fue en 2012 y llegó a haber una reunión secreta con Lewis en casa de Adrian Newey. 😳 Horner y Newey estaban a favor, pero a Marko no le hacía gracia juntar a Hamilton con Vettel. 💸 El dinero frenó la operación: se necesitaban cifras astronómicas para hacerlo posible. ℹ️ Autobiografía de Horner vía Crash .net

Their ability to protect their main driver is incredible. They actually refuse to let them be challenged

So Marko didn't want to sign Hamilton cause he was scared he'd beat Vettel?? 😂😂😂😂
🤯 Hamilton SE REUNIÓ EN SECRETO con Horner y Newey para FICHAR POR RED BULL EN 2012 🏡 La reunión tuvo lugar en casa de Adrian Newey 🗣️ Según Horner, Lewis les preguntó: "¿Qué haría falta para unirme a vosotros?" ‼️ Newey estaba ENCANTADO con la posibilidad de juntarlo con Vettel, pero Marko temía que el fichaje perjudicase a Sebastian 💸 El elevado coste también complicó la operación 📖 Drive vía @CRASH_NET_F1

The actual (albeit annoying and boring) answer is "it depends on the car & team around them"
Who takes home the win?

Horner has just admitted to corruption, a breach of the @fia Code of Ethics A misuse of his power to gain a WDC. He applied pressure to an official to act improperly by failing to fully apply art 48.12.
🚨 | 𝗛𝗢𝗥𝗡𝗘𝗥: “𝗕𝗬 𝗣𝗨𝗧𝗧𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗥𝗘𝗦𝗦𝗨𝗥𝗘 𝗢𝗡 𝗛𝗜𝗠, 𝗛𝗘 𝗔𝗚𝗥𝗘𝗘𝗗 𝗧𝗢 𝗨𝗡𝗟𝗔𝗣 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗥𝗦” 😳 Christian Horner has revisited the final Safety Car controversy of Abu Dhabi 2021, and openly described Red Bull pushing Michael Masi to allow the lapped cars through. 🎙️ 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿: “Originally he said, ‘No, the cars are not to unlap.’ And then by putting pressure on him, he agreed to unlap the cars.” But Horner also acknowledges the crucial detail: Masi only released the cars positioned between Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen. 🎙️ 𝗖𝗵𝗿𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗿: “The only controversial thing that he did… [was] only the ones between Lewis and Max.” Horner adds that, looking back, Masi could simply have allowed 𝗮𝗹𝗹 of the lapped cars through. That decision transformed the finale: Verstappen restarted directly behind Hamilton on fresh softs, while Lewis was on hards more than 40 laps old.

Horner reveals that Russell, Norris and Piastri were faster than his juniors "They were paying to go on our simulator" "The guy looking after it comes up to me and says 'Christian, these kids are better than the juniors we've got, I really think you should take a look at them'"

Christian Horner describes that Max's teammates were put in an impossible situation: "They'd all arrived too soon" "They're being put up into a lead team in a difficult car built for a generational talent" "It was almost impossible for them to succeed in that environment"

Horner did show a lot of respect to Lewis though for his reaction to AD21 "You know, any Lewis Hamilton fans is feeling absolutely robbed" "And in what must've been a horrendous moment for him, he held it together" "My respect for him elevated at that point in time"
