He will be 10 times champion to retire with then! :)
And he might not even retire then. :D
Thinking about it he will be almost 39 at end of 2023 season, but even now at 36 I think he is doing amazingly well with his fitness and competitiveness against the younger guys. Yes of course the car is a factor but one needs to be capable of driving it to 100%...and sometimes beyond which can either be spectacular or disastrous.
Let's see how this season goes because so far it is proving to be a challenge, and the genuine unpredictability makes it exciting to watch.
Personally I will be happy to see him get his 8th title. :)

We’ll see now how far McLaren have come. With the same engine as the factory. just be down to how their aero package performance works. As a driver Lando has it but is the car upto the race pace not just a qualifying lap car.

This will be a very big weekend for Mercedes.
There was talk of Mercedes having upgrades for this race, but assuming a straight fight and they are still unable to stop Red Bull dominance then I reckon the writing will be on the wall for the 2021 title.
Timings are all quite a bit later for this weekend.
Looking forward to seeing the 17 lap sprint race. :)

If only we had a decent correspondent in the field, we'd know more :geek::shock:

Perhaps the late timings are to give the campers chance to sober up from an estate full of beer.

Just can't get the quality of staff these days, who recruits them? :geek:;)

Slipperystone is a good track for Merc. It's going to be baking hot. Let's hope the new upgrades are fitted and work well enough to give Lewis a win.

Apparently there has been a lot of racist abuse towards Lewis Hamilton after yesterdays race, and both Mercedes and Red Bull have made public statements condemning it.
I haven't seen any of it myself but assume it will be on Twitter because that is the usual place for the trolls to do their thing.
These type of people do not need a reason to spout their vile racism and hatred, but when they believe they have one they really go to town!
Just what is the matter with people...it was the same the other week after the England game. :mad:

He was booed on stage after, was really off with the crowd as well, his usual 20min signing session turned into 3min "hi and thanks", maybe because Lando and George got better receptions??

Was busy in the Disco Tent

Way too hot though with little shade. Amazing atmosphere.

ABBA's Fernando is now sung "For Lando".

Brought a load of beer back as it was too hot, Water was the order of the day in copious quantities, watched the start of the race from Village in the corporate bit as there was shade (and cold Heineken)

Red Arrows were outstanding as always

I know it really is terrible the way Lewis has been racially abused for what was a racing incident, so maybe it got to him in some way
But as I said before these people use any excuse they can to spout their vile hatred.
