If the Badass, the feminist power read this.... If a man had said that, the whole earth would have dumped a dumpster of insults on him but it's a woman, she can. As we say at home, Mintu wears the pants at home but it's the first time I can see a woman said something about the profession of his hubby in F1, soccer or... . The extension of social networks in the private sphere shows that nothing of the personal reflections remain personal. Don't search me on f*, twi* or insta*, I'm not on and I live in peace.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....current drivers for the most part are whining cry babies.

It is sad.

Imagine Fangio or Senna crying like Hamilton....

It's a shame.

I always thought Senna was a complainer

Senna and Prost were also going to cry in the skirts of JM Balestre and C Whiting, at the time, the radio did not exist. Psychological warfare has always existed

Can't say about Fangio, but if Senna thought it'd give him an advantage, he'd do it in less than a heartbeat.

Have a good one,

A. They're ignorant of the circumstances
B. Regardless of being right or wrong, they'll always come off bad.

Let the drivers settle things out.

They ALL do it from time to time...some more than others.

LH has always been a sore loser.
It's pathetic.

I agree.

BTW, Arrivabene was bitching at MB for insinuating Kimi spun Ham deliberately.
Sometimes it seems the predominate age maturity of the personnel in F1 is ten years old.

I tend to agree, but the producers are not doing him any favors with which messages they play and which ones they don't. After the engine failure in Austria, there was a message that didn't get played that basically said "I don't know how many people are listening here and in England, but I have complete confidence that we'll come back from this. This team/car has been the most reliable and best performing of any that I have driven in my career and I have 0 concern that this failure will cost us anything" or thereabouts.

To avoid to fight with young motorists who could win immediately !!! in this case, all the "big three" of the F1 Circus are ok !!!

VERY cool, thanx for those.

Remind me never to complain about having to trim the damn shrubs again....




I think I saw this car race in the old ALMS 25 or so years ago...JJ Lehto was driving it like a demon.

Both pics were from Williams-Martini Racing. I earned a lot of respect for them after that visit, very professional outfit. Guide was tremendously interesting and provided a ton of information and history. It’s easy to forget there’s more cars than MB and Ferrari.

Force-India, not so much.
