Do Vettel and Ferrari make it the rest of the season... tension came out on the radio today. It’s obvious they do t give an F about him.
They were failing to advise Seb consistently with him being the only car on the track. Unbelievable incompetence.

This is like a divorce where the wife has already moved on with another guy and the husband is just trying to mentally keep it together until the papers are finalized. Poor Seb is bound to snap and go postal. He doesn't deserve this.

Listening to the audio is crazy. He asks them what they need from him, they tell him to push. "For how long?" "3 laps" - 3 laps later, "What do you think about going to the end?" "Oh ffs I asked you this before and now I've pushed it for 3 laps".
He also has to instruct them from within the car how to do their job. Telling them to calculate what his lap times need to be in order to stay ahead. Stuff that they should already know and tell him, he has to ask for.

The hate on Lewis for what he does on track can only be challenged for what he says off track.
He used to split the Red Bulls like Verstappen does the Merc's now. Without Alonso as his teammate the guy probably would have won a world championship his first AND second year as an F1 driver. He's fricking lights out on a track. The only thing everyone has against him is his 'activism' off the track. It's funny because other drivers are pretty outspoken themselves, but it doesn't get near the press.

You are the president of his dong's fan club. Spin all you like. You love you some lefty shite and you make excuses and dickride every race. Dude's a propped-up bitch. The climate change shite is the most hypocritical, I guess, but the BLM stuff is good too, seeing as how he lives in a place where there was only one black guy killed by police all of last year - and it was the fricking London Bridge knife jihad attacker.

I cant hate on Lewis for his performances... dude is stellar and deserves every accolade he gets
But off the track, I like Kimi...
Kimi is a raging alcoholic
And I respect that

The video of Kimi on stage is pretty funny. Most wives would be fuming over her husband drunk as a skunk on stage but his wife seems cool.

For the most part I ignore Mercedes and Max except for the off moments where that battle gets interesting, like Silverstone 1 with the Merc punctures on both cars, or Silverstone 2 with Max having a much better strategy. For the most part 1/2/3 this year will be some combination HAM/VER/BOT.
The really competitive racing this year will be from about 4th place on back between Ferrari, Racing Point, McLaren, Renault, and Alex Albon with one of these sneaking the occasional podium. LeClerc has dragged that Ferrari to two, Lando scored one in spectacular fashion, and it seems like Racing Point and Albon and maybe a long shot Renault are one lucky break from falling into a podium spot.

Max was bitching about his tires this weekend and not losing any time to Bottas. Hamilton does the same and people would be all over him.
I get the scrutiny he is under because he is winning so much. Vettel caught the same sort of hate when he was on his run with Red Bull.

Check out his book. His kids have calmed him down a ton. The guy is so simple and just lives his life.
The story about going on a bender for 3 or 4 weeks is pretty entertaining. The levels of not giving a frick are commendable.
Danny Ric has a lot of Kimi in some of the things he does. Would probably be a cool guy to hang out with.

He lives in Monaco. Probably fewer than one.

Speaking of, what happened to him the past couple weeks? Just couldn't get it done. He looked so good at 1st Silverstone, but has fallen back.
