Will the British have smoke bombs or is that not "proper"?  |

Is this the race where they will start doing sprints? I've tried to avoid learning about them in hopes they would go away.

When Lewis has the fastest car he is untouchable. However give him a car that is a couple of tenths slower and he becomes mediocre. He is not the "great" kind of driver that can make a slower car perform better, like Senna, or Schumacher. I love listening to his radio messages during a race when he is behind, you can hear him crumble. You statistically he is the greatest ever, but he is not able to rise above adversity to win.

He's in danger of slipping back to the pre 2010 Lewis that slides off the road in Monza or slams into Webber in Singapore, I mean the "never say die" thing looks good on paper but there is such a thing as trying to hard. Since Baku he's become the damage he needs to control.  |

Lewis doesn't seem to have the ability to be able to lead Mercedes out of this slump.

Do the Brit press use ranch or thousand island as they toss Lewis's salad? |

Do the Brit press use ranch or thousand island as they toss Lewis's salad? What do you expect, Wilmy? The Spanish press loves Alonso, the Dutch press loves Max, the Japanese press loves Tsunoda. Why would anyone expect anything different? |

Lewis doesn't seem to have the ability to be able to lead Mercedes out of this slump. I don't know if it's a car problem, a design problem or what but Lewis seems to have lost his ability to drive a car with problems to the front and keep it there. Toto said the car was 'damaged' and it couldn't be done so does that mean that all the little vanes etc are soooo crucial to the cars performance that any 'off track' excursions means race over? If so the FIA and Liberty need to fix that as that means 'drivers' aren't the main ingredient anymore, they haven't been for awhile to be honest but the illusion was still there, but now that that is over all you need is someone pretty good and put them in a damn good car and they will score a ton of points for you. |
