Could the fact that he’s British Born -bred have anything to do with it . Stop being so damned narrow minded Pilgrim.Quote:

to qualify , one has to be a stand up comedian—-a floral arranger or a struggling piss artist .
They all do, what they do after retirement makes them worthy, Jackie Stewart and safety etc.Quote:

So a brit wins a few drivers titles for himself, pockets the cash in a tax haven and gets a Knighthood, still have to ask what did he get it for, fashion?
Perhaps representing British fashion?

How about the GOAT in F1 —winning more races than anyone in the history of the sport. Seven times world champion —over 100 wins. Would have been eight except for the outrageous farce of last seasons race . You dont do that just by being „“LUCKY“. LIKE HIM OR LOTHE HIM —— HE IS SIMPLY THE BEST THERE HAS EVER BEEN ——-END OF!!!!!!!!Quote:

The rules say unlapped cars pass the safety car, Redbull took the chance to fit new tyres, it didnt show or explain if Mercedes could have done that.
Was a contrived effort to stop Hamilton —- whole episode stinks —- rules were changed to suit Ecclestone . He still pulls all the strings and always has . Notice that the rules have been changed yet again on yellow flags . If you think Max is a nice person ??? Lets wait and see >Quote:

by the way -you were right Both BRABHAM and Stewart were honoured AFTER they retired — wonder what gongs Lewis will attract when HE retires .
If it makes you feel better my daughter detests him —says he’s gay and hiding —— we have a row about him every friday ———me myself reckon AC/DC at best !!!!

PS
I dont post any video, did the link spam you, I just got photos of hamilton?
you said it Pilgrim —LAPPED CARS ONLY——- MAX WAS NOT A LAPPED CAR—-UNLESS I MISSED SOMETHING !!!!Quote:

correct, so under the safety car the pack lines up behind the leader ( on the same lap) in order regardless if on same lap or 2 laps down.Quote:

in the order they come out of the pits ——- unless you have been lapped . If someone has a quick pit stop you cant pass him —-max passed six ????????Quote:

No protests from other teams was there?

Lets just drop it Pilgrim, its clear we are both in disagreement . Methinks yours is a personal dislike of Hamilton and an adoration of Verstappen. [just my opinion].
I dislike Hamiltons BLM and dress code intensely but there’s no disguising his achievements . Or his driving ability.
Odd, that the new ruling is ALL lapped cars must be waved through and the race director that made the decision sacked for incompetence when it was always the rule anyway.
Enough of all this —— i have a living to earn — other folk to fall out with— a car boot sale to attend —and a recycling facility to forage through this morning. It’s a beautiful day with wall to wall sunshine and a promise of warm weather to come —————-hard to believe there’s a war going on [and we cant do a damn thing to stop it].

Pulled out over 30 boats from under the bench and off the shelves — they have to go —- so i have priced them all at £100 apiece —- they’re just ten of the offshore rigs. I have another ten circuit boats at £100 apiece including six WINGS . Send me a PM if you’re interested -posted to the USA is $40/50 a time .Attachment 502441Attachment 502442Attachment 502443

Hamilton certainly moved up in my and lots of peoples estimation as he said nothing, true statesmen.
Did Mercedes cock it up thinking they would run under yellow to the flag? Why did Hitler stop at the channel and not invade the UK? Why did Americans vote for Biden, Why dont they still make xflow V4 Evinrudes, Would we have rotary outboards if there wasnt the fuel crisis of 73? Could the Edsel have been a success if marketed differently?
PS nobody likes Verstappen
ME—i saw the rules not just bent ,but broken —- you dont just sack a race director —- unless he’s a dingleberry or dropped a gooley — unless they wanted a fall guy . Whole episode will be forever a huge blot on F1 motor racing.
PS. i dont much like Hamilton anyway - Mainly due to his whinging on “ITS ‘COS ISE BLACK”. Has always gotten right up my left nostril.
I cant find any post that says any rules broken, it was just the same as many races during the season re safety car.Quote:

The netflix series shows Redbull pitting for tyres as they had nothing to loose, winning move once Mercedes didnt pit.

Had a stellar day in the shop—— sold all ten of the offshore concepts . So sorry to all the old farts in Tavares —all the offshore rigs from the photos have been sold . Still have five or six offshore tunnels and ten circuit. Boats for sale —— someone making noises about the Buggatti —- and CHITTY bang bang . Things are looking up. Have some room now to create a brand fire new concept —- will definitely surprise a few . And in a hurry !!!!!!!
ac/dc at worst.Quote:

Did put one of OMC’s six cylinder jobs and a V8 facing each other—- one of the better mounts i made . Me myself was quite chipper about the finished result . Pity i dont have any RC props left — was promised 100 of them —-but in the end it turned out to be just a dozen—- They still haven’t arrived either . Some days you eat bear — this is one of the other days !

Really is a wonderful place for a powerboat race . Breeding ground for all the best racehorses in the world with some magnificent countryside .Quote:
