Nothing to do with the driver(s) it looks clear to me its the car that is not working, and both cars look to be suffering the same.

Yep thatās what I have been saying nothing to do with the driver when your car is a second quicker than any other car all season. Itās like one person having a racket and the rest using a cricket stump at wimbledon
Maybe itās about recognising that youāve got a cricket bat and changing it for a tennis racquet?

How do you work that out?
I am in good company then becauseI I think your statement last week about George Russell was someone who knows very little but thought it best not to comment
Its not looking so bad for the race, it started dry but a heavy rain shower has just gone through. Looking at the area radar I donāt see any more close by, it might not be so bad.
An Alfa & a Williams slid off in the wet & damaged the cars going around to the grid.
They were talking about a safety car start, but that does not look the case now, might be interesting. ###
No spoilers please! Iāll be watching on CH4 laterš
Absolute masterclass!!

This is a very special driver. Many congrats Lewis Hamilton - decimated the competition today in a car which ought not to have allowed this to happen - F1 champion for the seventh time. Superb stuff.

Awesome, undisputed win from Lewis Hamilton, coming from 6th position winning the race, championship (7th times) and levelled the record will Michael Schumacher. He has more wins (94), more poles (97) and more podiums (163) than any one before him.

Merely one of too many to list!
Indeed, the most successful driver in the history of F1.
I doubt, considering how we are moving away from internal combustion, that his eventual career records will ever be broken.
As for the nay sayers, those that believe its easy when you have the best car; yesterday on that tracks new surface & the wet throughout practice, qualifying & the race, the Merc was not the best car, far from it, RP & RB & even a hint that Ferrari were better, go ask Bottas.

I am no chemical or mechanical engineer. I used to play with nitro rc cars and then eventually moved to electric. Both are so much fun. So much smoke and roar with combustion engine. With electric, there is so much power. We went from nicad to now lipo, from 2s to 8s. Electric is actually quicker than nitro. No clutch, no transmission, just raw speed until engine burns out. There was always so much waste (energy lost) with combustion engine. Mercedes Benz said it only just managed to yield about 50% of the energy in the fuel.
This is precisely why winning the Turkish grand prix was so great. Behind 5 cars, web slippery condition that opened up the race to many. Yet, Hamilton came out on top - undisputed. The kind of drama and excitement that F1 desperately need.
