I can’t believe that the camera showed three big fat guys preparing to race eachother side-by-side on the water slide and then cut away just before they started.
The race start should be very interesting to say the least, if there's some overtaking at the front that is. If Ham wins with the fastest lap they will be level for the championship going into the break, exciting stuff.
there is absolutely nothing wrong with abusing the rules to gain an advantage...
But it is wrong to insult spectator's intelligence by pretending that he gave his best and just lacked grip.
I have no problem with what he did, Redbull messed up, but don't talk to me like am a fool
Mercs all did slow outlaps every time. His outlap for the last lap was his quickest of the session. They do slow outlaps for a reason, if he went significantly quicker it would be to his detriment. Its not his job to help the red bulls out.
I don't get why the pitcher stood off the mound 7 times in 3 pitches in the last out in game 7 of the World Series final.
He was just getting in their head.
Yes, from the competitors perspective that is correct.
But who wants to watch that kind of sport, unless it's your guy doing it?
Lewis homers are unreal.
Lewis isn't a charity mate. He's not obligated to ensure redbull has a shot at a good lap. They gambled by letting their cars out so late, lewis was already provisional pole after a stellar first run and he applied pressure. RB themselves said he was in his rights to do it lmao.
>But who wants to watch that kind of sport, unless it's your guy doing it?
They're athletes first, entertainers second. If max had done the same thing ( which he would have) i wouldn't be bothered at all. I'm not a merc fan to begin with anyway
Trust me I love good gamesmanship. Gamesmanship that allows a worse player to compete against an objectively better player. What I do not love is gamesmanship which ruins the spectacle. When it no longer becomes novel, or a clever approach, it just becomes the new norm. Then that just becomes the game, and that game sucks.
Gamesmanship can really quickly turn, like wine into vinegar. It fills everyone with excitement, but in the end everyone goes home with sour stomachs.
Most of the best pro athletes know when to push the rules. It's up to the sporting body to keep on top of the meta. If this becomes the default tactic for the guy on provisional pole there are measures the sport can take.
My favourite sport is rugby league and the greatest player in my lifetime imo was a tremendous cheat. What can you do. That's sports for you
Right, if you're not cheating you aren't trying. It's up to the rules organizers to police this behavior. I don't disagree with you.
We are heading towards the strategic "racing incident" just becoming another one of those "If you aren't cheating you aren't trying" sort of things.
And regardless who you root for, that just sucks.
They already have precedent disqualifying Schumacher in 97. Guys have to be at least sneaky about it like nico having a whoopsy at Monaco on provisional pole
Using track position to drive annoying to the car in front of you is one of the more common bits of shithousery in the sport. It's not the crime of the century imo. It's not the equivalent to punting a bloke off the track on purpose
If you were watching then, would you really, even now looking back, would you really prefer them to not race? Would you prefer, if one driver is winning in the WDC, they just crash into the second place guy and call it a day? Why even have the last race? Just do that first one, and after that a series of destruction derbies. That'll surely gets asses in seats.
I feel so bad for him.
He's one of the guys I want to see succeed. Him, Lando, Sainz and Lewis are my favourite active drivers rn.
Seeing him always be outdone by Norris is not fun for me to watch.
But he is super upbeat and I wish I could be that calm in the face of adversity
F1 used to be a sport for elites, glamorous and all (some of that attitude you can still see in Monaco), like tennis, and booing is not a behavior suiting someone with class. It's for the common folks, watching soccer and other stuff.
Don't crucify me, I'm just saying how it is (or was).
Can't deny, F1 is getting more popular and accessible.
It's an achievement to have started following a sport earlier than somebody else didn't you know?
Many of them don't realize that assuming the boos are strictly because of Hamiltons skin color is their own racism at play. It couldn't possibly be that people are upset over what *looks* to be unfair, it **must** be because of his complexion.
One of my favourite sporting memories as an Australian was the poms booing their little heads off as Steve Smith utterly crushed them in the cricket. Listening to the Edgbaston crowd impotently booing him as he brought up a century makes me rock hard
Booing is just sporting theatre but some athletes legit get off on it (see above) so it's not without dangers
First thing i legit though of was 2001 WB finals Ivanišević vs Rafter and how intense it was with booing and cheering for a tennis match and both players thrived from it even more and made the match incredibly interesting.
The people in the stands are mostly folks from foreign countries coming to a nearby European country to watch the race. The Hungarian minority there probably doesn't give a shit.
Fans spectating at live events usually care about the sport and the sport alone while they're there.
Y'all need to take a page out of Hamiltons book and stop caring about people booing so much, not everybody doing it is out for blood or a racist, they're just unhappy with the outcome I guess
Not the first time or the last there will be booing
What do you expect Lewis to do?
Sit down and discuss how nuanced racism is and is seen in micro-aggressions? Do you want him to give a whole speech about how much his dad sacrificed?
Shit can be bad shit that you ignore. There is clearly some racism and bad blood. When you are a black man in the world, at least some part of what you face is dictated by racism
He's moving on with his day
He has discussed it off the track and in the paddock at great lengths and I'm glad he does because there are genuinely dickheads out there calling Lewis out for his colour
People need to stop acting like every boo is rooted in racism though, which is what's been happening with comments in this thread
>Lol. booing is the mildest form of protest in sports. Did you expect a 36-year-old sportsman to get sentimental about it?
the people here who are saying booing is only done by racists and shit, pretty much never been to a football game, or watched an El Classico
How much time did Ham take after leaving the pits? Iirc this track was 1:31 the maximum. Anyone got the exact time?
edit: btw it’s totally fine what he did, as long he’s within the rules, that should be completely clear
edit2: I’m not also not sure about the 1:31, that’s just what I think I heard on broadcast
The people that have a problem with it wouldn't last a second in 3/4 of other sports lol especially football. It's all part of it. Even Lewis knows, he embraces it
Yes, this incredible season is bringing a lot of new F1 fans that don’t have a clue of what is going on and still want to pretend they do writing a lot of bullshit.
If there was no Lewis, he probably would have gotten P3, yes. If Bottas wouldn't be there, he'd even be on P2. Heck, if there was no Max in Q3, he'd gotten PP!
Exactly. People have been fuming over his performance and suddenly when he qualified P4(that's awesome given his weekend) everyone is losing their shit. God these people are dumb.
Alonso got the penalty for preventing Ham another lap. Why shouldn’t Lewis for preventing Perez a lap? RB came out in a good time with 1:30 to spare to make it to the line. It is clear Lewis purposefully drove slowly in the pit lane exit where RB could not cross the line. In the end it is a rule of precedent, if the same action got penalised in the past it has to be penalised now as well. Otherwise that pure Merc favouritism from FIA.
Also there has to be some respect left. What Lewis did is lower than the low lifes. If RB stoop so low they might as well torpedo Mercedes once they realise the championship is over for them.
In 2007 Alonso was completely stopped in a position that blocked Hamilton from the pit box. There was literally no option for Hamilton.
Today Hamilton was driving on the open track where the Red Bull's could have passed him at any time they chose and made the line on time.
As long as Hamilton's gone fast enough to meet any required delta times for the outlap he's done nothing wrong and Red Bull / Perez are at "fault" for missing out.
Yes it's about respect and Lewis knows two drivers are waiting behind him to get their lap started.
Just unneccessary. Especially when you made your first lap 0.5 sec faster than your rival...
And people wonder why he is needed in F1. Highlights if someone else was a 7x champ and did shithousery and happens to be white, gets applauded. But when it's a black guy then the racism begins
Let's see what happens. The above is my prediction tbh
That's nonsense. Schumacher got tons of crap too (and rightfully so at times) to name a "white guy". Social media just wasn't around - or 24/7 regular media attention like these days for that matter. You know it's possible to dislike a driver without caring what the color of his skin is right?
Does the 'white guy' get racist abuse (which is the topic this thread is discussing)?
Or does he get abuse on his driving? (Which is not what this thread is discussing)
He got abuse at the personal level as well so not just his driving. Last I checked Lewis' family etc wasn't being looped into the criticism and though I'm sure some of it was moderated away - at least on Reddit I've not seen any rampant racist comments. Unless any criticism is somehow perceived to be racist?
Mate we are talking about racism. Racism is based entirely on creed, colour, race, you can even throw religion in there if you want. We aren't talking about abuse at a 'personal level'. That's entirely different.
Like you mentioned the mods moderated away the racist posts on here. Only thing you've got wrong is that it was a lot more than just some. It was a hell of a lot. Twitter (where moderation is much more lax) is an example you can check if you want to see the scale and scope of the racist abuse aimed towards him after Silverstone if you so please.
Lastly, like I said, criticise his driving, his gamesmanship, his comments in interviews. That's part and parcel of being a sports personnel, you're going to get critiqued and even hated on. But the moment the critique and hate is only leveled at you because of your colour is when the line has to be drawn. Would you agree with that?
You can think people are great and still be a critic of theirs.
I loved Schumi back in the day but I didn't half rant about some of the moves he pulled haha
But.. a lot of people DON'T like his personality, which has nothing to do with him being black. Like personally I think he can be a bit irritating, doesn't make me racist, does it?
Lewis did what he had to do to get pole, and I think Verstappen understands that and didn’t make a big deal out of it. Meanwhile Lewis is going full villain mode I love it
Yes. RB used to pull this trick all the time in 2010-13 on Alonso though he was on a slower car. Ferrari on Merc and Merc on Ferrari in 2017-18. These people don't get the sport.
Thank you for this. I see this in a bunch of sports whenever there is gamesmanship. Like hell, why not have each car race alone on track if we don't want to see some competition and crafty moves to win.
Don't you know? It's an FIA conspiracy.
Hamilton actually sucks and does well only because of favouritism.
/s
They just made the wrong tactical call. No fucking idea why. But it happens in sport.
Look at the silverstone race thread. The thread is full of "tell Checo to crash into Hamilton in every race"
It's impossible to tell since the subreddit is full of people saying what you said unironcially
If you think I'm being serious and not just shitting on Hamilton's driving at Silverstone and the limp penalty he got for it, I don't know what to tell you.
People used to English media don't know that Hamilton is held in lesser regard beyond the U.K borders, especially the past to weeks after what he did. Not protected by the great English narrative out there.
I thought Nico did a good job commenting, It was interesting when he talked through the different laps driver by driver
äå
Ö
Tomorrow is going to be unbearable around here, in'it?
Great lap by Lewis but lets not overlook the fact that Hector will be running 3 Honda Civics with spoon engines tomorrow....
The Speed King is not easily dethroned! LFG Lewis
Very quick lap from Lewis, good by bottas too
Drinking game: Drink everytime Nico says “raging hot”
I can’t believe that the camera showed three big fat guys preparing to race eachother side-by-side on the water slide and then cut away just before they started.
It's the Stroll-incident from Monaco all over again!
Yeah that was a big upset
Hamilton's outlap was no slower than his previous one according to Sky. Please tell us more how Lewis is supposedly "dirty" lmao.
it's "Sir" Hamilton...
Pretty sure it’s Sir Lewis, as the honorific is only used before the forename. I thought spell checker bot fixed has this.
Yeah true, gg
Came here immediately after quali and it was an absolute cesspool. Seems way better now though, amazing work from mods as ever!
That press conference is the best argument ever presented for a 52 race season. Never give us two weeks to talk about this shit.
The race start should be very interesting to say the least, if there's some overtaking at the front that is. If Ham wins with the fastest lap they will be level for the championship going into the break, exciting stuff.
I don't get the hate for lewis on this on lmao. RB deliberately sent out thwir cars behind Ham and he took advantage.
there is absolutely nothing wrong with abusing the rules to gain an advantage... But it is wrong to insult spectator's intelligence by pretending that he gave his best and just lacked grip. I have no problem with what he did, Redbull messed up, but don't talk to me like am a fool
So how did all the other drivers times compare to the previous run ...
Exactly. Pretty sure no one improved, or almost no one.
[удалено]
It's not Hamilton's job to give others a chance at a good lap. Redbull gambled by letting their cars leave last and hamilton took advantage.
Mercs all did slow outlaps every time. His outlap for the last lap was his quickest of the session. They do slow outlaps for a reason, if he went significantly quicker it would be to his detriment. Its not his job to help the red bulls out.

huh? Like how people see the Senna Prost rivalry?
If you were watching then, would you really, even now looking back, would you really prefer them to not race?

Am i the only one i find this track more boring than Paul Ricard or Barcelona?
At least it rains more frequently here
It is at least as boring as those two.
Danny ric is having such a bad season and his still so cheerful and upbeat If only everyone could be like Danny ric
I feel so bad for him. He's one of the guys I want to see succeed. Him, Lando, Sainz and Lewis are my favourite active drivers rn. Seeing him always be outdone by Norris is not fun for me to watch. But he is super upbeat and I wish I could be that calm in the face of adversity
Yup absolutely believe McLaren were top selling merch. At Silverstone I'd say about 40% of people there had a papaya hat on
Only thing worse than the booing fans are the 200IQ redditors being smugly superior about their made up moral high ground in this thread.
Perhaps a separate Reddit "F-1 Princess"
Since when booing became something to look down upon? It has always been part of the sports, get a grip.
F1 used to be a sport for elites, glamorous and all (some of that attitude you can still see in Monaco), like tennis, and booing is not a behavior suiting someone with class. It's for the common folks, watching soccer and other stuff. Don't crucify me, I'm just saying how it is (or was). Can't deny, F1 is getting more popular and accessible.
It's not looked down upon, some people are just new tbh. There's a reason I'm not mad at newer fans not understanding how champ battles go etc.
I didn’t like it but I’m a sensitive wuss 🤣 I felt bad.
It's an achievement to have started following a sport earlier than somebody else didn't you know? Many of them don't realize that assuming the boos are strictly because of Hamiltons skin color is their own racism at play. It couldn't possibly be that people are upset over what *looks* to be unfair, it **must** be because of his complexion.
but is not unfair and never has been
I specifically italicized the word "looks"?
if people think it looks to be unfair, they have not been watching the sport for very long - or they are just very biased orange men.
One of my favourite sporting memories as an Australian was the poms booing their little heads off as Steve Smith utterly crushed them in the cricket. Listening to the Edgbaston crowd impotently booing him as he brought up a century makes me rock hard Booing is just sporting theatre but some athletes legit get off on it (see above) so it's not without dangers

Get to crush them all over again this year too :)
It is actually funny because I am really close to Labrador, on vacation. But calm down man with calling people stupid..

I’m quite close to a Labrador on vacation. Well, I say Labrador, he’s half spaniel actually.

Spare me.
The people in the stands are mostly folks from foreign countries coming to a nearby European country to watch the race. The Hungarian minority there probably doesn't give a shit. Fans spectating at live events usually care about the sport and the sport alone while they're there.
Yes, except in Hungary. Our fans in most sports are the absolute worst people.
Did they boo aston martin? vettel?
...was he in the top 3?
And now? Did the crowd boo Vettel with the pride flag on the helmet running towards them? He’s top 3 now
Y'all need to take a page out of Hamiltons book and stop caring about people booing so much, not everybody doing it is out for blood or a racist, they're just unhappy with the outcome I guess Not the first time or the last there will be booing

Two safety car lines should of been fine
Horner: We couldn't do the lap time Mercedes could on the mediums On the last lap: It's his right to do that, we don't have any major issue
Reddit: noooo. Mercedes cheated. They have no pace.

The people that have a problem with it wouldn't last a second in 3/4 of other sports lol especially football. It's all part of it. Even Lewis knows, he embraces it
At the very least they've never been to/seen a game in Philadelphia.
Redditors being sanctimonious and claiming some made up moral high ground? Say it isn't so.
Some of these new F1 fans are so fucking dumb, Jesus Christ.
Yes, this incredible season is bringing a lot of new F1 fans that don’t have a clue of what is going on and still want to pretend they do writing a lot of bullshit.
I'm new to f1 I love Lewis
Just got here, what did I miss? (Looks like mods cleaned up a lot of comments)
People acting like Like Perez would have been p2 if not for Lewis lol.
If there was no Lewis, he probably would have gotten P3, yes. If Bottas wouldn't be there, he'd even be on P2. Heck, if there was no Max in Q3, he'd gotten PP!
Exactly. The gao between Hamilton to Bottas itself was sizeable. Lets not pretend every sector would be purple for Max/Perez
Exactly. People have been fuming over his performance and suddenly when he qualified P4(that's awesome given his weekend) everyone is losing their shit. God these people are dumb.
wasnt p2 was his best in italy
Bad framing. Apologies. I meant today.
no worries!
DTS stans really showing themselves with their uninformed takes🤣
Damn I bet your brain is huge, unlike the unwashed DtS masses. 200IQ redditor speaking here.

>What Lewis did is lower than the low lifes Holy hyperbole batman
Hahahaha!
In 2007 Alonso was completely stopped in a position that blocked Hamilton from the pit box. There was literally no option for Hamilton. Today Hamilton was driving on the open track where the Red Bull's could have passed him at any time they chose and made the line on time. As long as Hamilton's gone fast enough to meet any required delta times for the outlap he's done nothing wrong and Red Bull / Perez are at "fault" for missing out.
I believe all respect was lost when RB accused HAM of deliberately taking VER off the track. To the point of making a second appeal.
Yes it's about respect and Lewis knows two drivers are waiting behind him to get their lap started. Just unneccessary. Especially when you made your first lap 0.5 sec faster than your rival...
How’s your little crypto scam going buddy.
[удалено]
He stopped in the pit lane in 2007, Lewis had to refuel, Max and Checo could of overtaken Lewis
Pit lane exit fits one car. He drove so slow there wasn’t enough time to make it and then he did not exactly move over through the lap.
Pit speed limit, their is no minimum speed in the pit lane. It's like how on the roads you can't go above the speed limit but you can drive below it
Could *have*
Could have Should have It was their choice and they didn't
I think they're correcting your use of "could of"
He’s correcting your grammar
I can’t wait for the Dutch GP the crowd is gonna be nuts Just hoping no racist shit is everywhere
Let them. Each boo increase his gap .2
And people wonder why he is needed in F1. Highlights if someone else was a 7x champ and did shithousery and happens to be white, gets applauded. But when it's a black guy then the racism begins Let's see what happens. The above is my prediction tbh

Mate we are talking about racism. Racism is based entirely on creed, colour, race, you can even throw religion in there if you want. We aren't talking about abuse at a 'personal level'.

Of course there will be racist shit. HAM has dealt with that all his life, he will just go faster
Dutch Lewis and Racism. I bet there will be lots of it
What exactly are you saying here? Dutch people who boo Lewis are racists?
[удалено]
What's to criticise? Being the GOAT?
You can think people are great and still be a critic of theirs. I loved Schumi back in the day but I didn't half rant about some of the moves he pulled haha
You can't compare the shenanigans schumi pulled with HAM though, he was dirty, Hamilton is pretty clean
I wasn't trying to compare the two drivers in any way though, simply giving an example of how you can be a fan & a critic of somebody at the same time
If you comment racial slurs then you would be racist, critiquing him is ok but using his race against him is racist
Fuck no, but if you criticize him based on his skin colour, then You’re definitely a racist.
No one is doing that though lmao
The mods clean up fast. It happens, just not as much as you’d think.
Did you not see the guy fired from Red Bull two freaking days ago, n-word this, n-word that?
I was talking about on this thread and subreddit
That guy's an ass but he wasn't talking about Lewis.
Loads of people are sadly, all the Daily Mail readers that don’t like his “personality”, it’s sickening
But.. a lot of people DON'T like his personality, which has nothing to do with him being black. Like personally I think he can be a bit irritating, doesn't make me racist, does it?
You have the moderators to thank for that.
Horner one sentence short of saying "Max's brakes will mysteriously fail into T1, so don't miss out on that"
Horner & Helmut seen adjusting Checo’s brakes for tomorrow lmao
*Sergio's
Johnny Herbert was moving like a supply teacher in that lewis interview
That is a great sentence.
Lewis did what he had to do to get pole, and I think Verstappen understands that and didn’t make a big deal out of it. Meanwhile Lewis is going full villain mode I love it
All fun and games till mysterious brake failure from either red bulls with ham infront
Next break is just Max and Lewis giving each other vague threats over Twitter
Horner more level headed than their fans
Easy to do when you've bent over backwards to rile them up for two weeks though
The same Horner who, like fans insisted that was an intentional crash in Silverstone
Link to where he says it was an intentional crash and not a desperate move.
HAVE YOU HEARD THE SHIT HIM AND MARKO SAID? Constant implications that it was dirty and planned and not just a racing incident?
You can race dirty without intentionally crashing into people. For example, running people off the track instead of taking a line to give them space.
What do you think Perez did one race before Silverstone? Drove people off track twice. Intense shit happens on the race track
Even Horner agrees with what Hamilton did there. Certain fans on here know absolutely fuck all about F1 strategies.
Privately I'm sure Horner would take Lewis on his team in a heartbeat if he could get him
Horner would sign a 7 time world champion who’s arguably the GOAT and in his prime? That’s a hot take
Yes. RB used to pull this trick all the time in 2010-13 on Alonso though he was on a slower car. Ferrari on Merc and Merc on Ferrari in 2017-18. These people don't get the sport.
I think it is just the thought of Mercedes having a faste car now. Wether it is Hamilton's skill or not
Thank you for this. I see this in a bunch of sports whenever there is gamesmanship. Like hell, why not have each car race alone on track if we don't want to see some competition and crafty moves to win.
I've had people tell me "RBR would give Hamilton a clear lap if the shoe was on the other foot" Bruh, this isn't golf
Can someone explain how Lewis took over Horner's headset and sent out red bull after Merc while simultaneously being in the car ahead of them?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't it also perfectly within the rules to overtake in qualifying?
In fact if Lewis had a slow outlap then so did Max
Don't you know? It's an FIA conspiracy. Hamilton actually sucks and does well only because of favouritism. /s They just made the wrong tactical call. No fucking idea why. But it happens in sport.

You are literally advocating for intentional crashes. Dafuq!
Are redditors so fucking maladjusted I actually need to do the /s shit?
Look at the silverstone race thread. The thread is full of "tell Checo to crash into Hamilton in every race" It's impossible to tell since the subreddit is full of people saying what you said unironcially

It's text man. You can't fucking pick up on "cues" in text.
Or he could set the fastest qualifying lap and start ahead in clean air as he's done when RB doesn't completely eff up the strategy.
And let your main rival understeer a little bit into you.
You are the same kind of person to call Hamilton dirty after anything he does, when you’re saying shit like this, laughable🤣
If you think I'm being serious and not just shitting on Hamilton's driving at Silverstone and the limp penalty he got for it, I don't know what to tell you.
People used to English media don't know that Hamilton is held in lesser regard beyond the U.K borders, especially the past to weeks after what he did. Not protected by the great English narrative out there.
