Love this thread. Nyck's face when talking to Lewis is adorable. He's so happy. I saw the video of him being pulled out of the car after Gasly had congratulated him. He was exhausted.

i have to agree - he seems a very nice man and all, but i think it’s fair to say he had more seasons in f1 than he “should” have done. he was outperformed by all his teammates, including one that only found out that weekend.
wasn’t there always that rumour about his family (being rich af) giving money to williams though? not sure how true it was or if it was an assumption because they’re rich, but i wonder what they’ll do without that cash if so.
Poor Alex. That sounds frightening. I had my appendix out and ended up with an infected bowl so full surgery instead of key hole and was told 6 weeks before I could/ should drive and I drive a clio not an f1 car 
(Basically similar to c section). I’d be amazed if he’s back in two weeks. The flight and media work would be hard enough let alone getting in a car!

i just did! he’s had a really hard time of it, bless himDid you guys read the update on Alex? I’m actually gonna crypoor guy suffered a lot, hope he feels better soon
i actually hope he isn’t in the car for singapore now, he needs time to fully recover - surgery is hard enough with being on a ventilator! hope he’s doing okay.

I MUST KNOW WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM.
how did they go from friends, holidays with each other’s families, being so close to whatever they are now. the original pierre and esteban but with added “psychological warfare” (or whatever nico said).

Just gonna say this. It was Seb's dream too and look what happened. Ferrari must have a meeting and sort this mess. The title might now have gone and also Charles chances.

Hopefully they have all forgotten how to drive Singapore. I'm hoping for a repeat of 2017 like carnage.

If Russell continues to stay ahead in the points, Lew Lew will 100% throw all his toys off the Toto train & take a sabbatical. You know, to meditate and be grateful... And wait until Mercedes develop a winning power train again

nico commentating from his lair always makes me laugh. but they need to get rid, not only can he not travel but most of the grid appear to actively dislike him!
seb would be an amazing commentator but i also agree with the other comments that he’s likely going to take at least a year out. but i really hope we don’t lose him to the bees entirely

Loving the discussion on here today! I’m Team Pierre (obv, would die for him), Danny, Alex and Charles. Basically if you’ve been chewed up and spat out by the RB machine then I will have a soft spot for you (minus Sharl, I just love his sad boi energy).
I’m half Italian so grew up tifosi… not a good time to support Italian teams as it stands. Seems Ferrari and Alpha Tauri are in competition to see who can be the biggest clowns
At least we have good food eh…

all i can say to this isGeorge in particular is carrying a reputation of being very posh and ‘stuck up’ for no other reason than his accent and his clothing really, and I find that so disheartening. People are so quick to go and judge, even going as far as labeling him a Tory despite having zero proof of that. He’s just well spoken and his interviews might seem a bit ‘PR’ at times, but who could blame him? Look at people like Lando who talk first and think second and the amount of hate he gets for that as well.
So many people say he’s lost his personality after leaving Williams but driving for Merc is a big deal and he’s got a huge responsibility and he wants to do it justice, look at Valtteri and how much more of his personality (and bum) we see now that he’s at Alfa. It’s the nature of being in a huge team and the pressure that comes with it.
Point being is that people love to judge based on very little information which leads them to hate, completely ignoring how he’s the same guy who jumped out of his car to look after Zhou in Silverstone when he had his huge crash, for example. Of course there’s no need to like him but he surely doesn’t deserve the hate.
he basically sacrificed his own race to make sure the marshalls knew where zhou was! i think he just takes his job seriously, takes the media training seriously, and takes his image seriously. you’re right that they can never win: george is “too pr” whereas lando is then “too casual”. george is too much of a stickler for the rules, but then people complain about max being “dangerous” (which makes me mad, but that’s a whole other story
)like said above, i have the drivers i like and i really devote my time to them. i COULD be here writing an essay about how i think nico rosberg is the absolute worst, but why? i don’t get how many fans dedicate time to the drivers they apparently hate.
also, this whole thread is very sweet:

Lewis needs to realise there is only one thing that needs to be stroked constantly. And it isn't his ego.Even George has now done a placatory message for Lewis on his IG. The mans ego is in constant need of stroking

People cannot help how their voice sounds can they? He comes from King's Lynn not really posh. If he has elocution lessons on him voice, his choice.George in particular is carrying a reputation of being very posh and ‘stuck up’ for no other reason than his accent and his clothing really, and I find that so disheartening.

Like most have said social media is vile atm. Considering the past fews days the amount of disrespect shown is disgusting. Unfortunately social media has changed many people. Manners have gone, please, thank you etc nope want this/that instantly and have the right to say what they want. Sad really.
