Jun.1 - Lewis Hamilton says Mercedes would be wrong to write off the troubled 2022 project and immediately start working from the drawing board on next year's car.

While the car has shown signs of improvement recently, the seven time world champion was once again grappling with extreme handling problems at Monaco.

"I pray that the car is not like it was in Monaco," Hamilton said when asked about the next race at Baku.

"It was the worst moment I have experienced in this car so far, simply because of the bumps. I want them to go away now - my teeth and jaw were vibrating so badly and I finished the race shaking.

"I don't know if it's related to the porpoising, but we didn't have it in the last race," he added.

As time goes on, and Mercedes' title chances look ever more distant, some have suggested Mercedes should simply scrap the current concept and start working on a new car philosophy for 2023.

"I haven't really thought about that," said Hamilton.

"But I think we have to find out what's wrong with this car before we can make another one. If we started to build another car we could easily make a mistake.

"I think it's about fully understanding this one, which is something we haven't achieved yet, so that we have an idea of which path to go down," he added.

However, he admitted to being very sure about "a lot of things I wouldn't want from this car in next year's car".

    So a former Toto adviser will be the new Exec Director of F1. Hehehe. So in essence, Sir Lewis will likely get his way in the jewelry piercing nonsense row. As expected. Ya love to see it. 😌

    Suggestion: don't clench your teeth while driving. Georgie Boy seems to be handling it, or is that why you clench your teeth? You've had a lucky run, Lewie, time to make way for the young guns.

      I’d rather see Sir Lewis-a-lot pull a Rosberg. He has become more of a “queen” than a knight and more of a “real” goat than G.O.A.T.

        Fellow posters I apologise for Susans Typo,she is under considerable pressure dealing with a disturbed character on this site, when she typed Sir Lewis-a-lot, what she actually meant was Sir Lose-a-lot

        What wasn't a typo was Queen, and like any good Queen they know when to abdicate

    It appears having Masi canned wasn’t good enough for team Mercedes, now Peter Bayer. It appears that if a team can’t win one way, they try something less conventional. Shame on everyone associated with this decision. Say what you will about Eccelstone, this may have happened during his watch but it was a lot more subtle.
    Like I said before, money rules everything in this world, F1 is no exception. Pathetic! Another business deal, not a sporting deal. Sure takes the shine off the sport.

        Very clever, bet it took you minutes to come up with that ditty! Trust me I’m not crying. I save that for only real events in my life and this is not one of them. This is just shameful behavior by people who should deal with events better. But as they say..such is life! The sun will continue to rise and set.

          If I were Lulu, I would drop to my knees and be very grateful for what I have, especially coming from such a “humble” background. With the obscene amount of money that is thrown at him for driving a car, he should be doing a jig, with or without jewelry. (rapper reference). So many people out there that do far more dangerous jobs, help thousands of people, save lives on a daily basis across this world, who make far less money, and he complains about a bumpy ride. What can I say.

            I think you miss the forest for the trees, Jax. You keep mentioning the mega-wealthy, mega-successful individual, Hamilton. That’s nice for you to hero-worship him. Your decision. But when you think about it in the light of day, what has he done to improve anybody's lives, other than to entertain for two hours on a Sunday afternoon. Respect his athletic abilities. There have been many sports heroes in all fields through the decades. Put your hero-worshipping in prospective. Unless he is a relative, don’t take what is said about him personally.

        • Jax

          To address your ignorant query...read! Then just stop embarrassing yourself. Lol smh.

          "Building on the recommendations of the Hamilton Commission, Hamilton launched Mission 44, a charitable foundation created to help young people from under-represented backgrounds achieve their ambitions in wider society, in July 2021. Hamilton pledged £20m of his personal wealth to support the work of the charity, including supporting organisations and programmes that narrow the gap in employment and education. Mission 44 will work in conjunction with a joint charitable foundation between Hamilton and the Mercedes Formula One team, called Ignite, which was also launched in July 2021. Ignite focuses on increasing diversity in motorsport, by improving educational opportunities and offering financial support.
          Hamilton often donates personal and professional paraphernalia for charity auctions. He auctioned a racing kart and raised over £42,000 for baby charity Tommy's. He raised £6,411 for the Small Steps Project in 2018, and £6,000 in 2019. In 2020, he raised another £4,000 for the Small Steps Project, while a donated race suit reportedly raised €20,000 for vulnerable children.
          Hamilton frequently attends charitable functions and has supported projects and charities such as the Make-A-Wish Foundation, Comic Relief, Rays of Sunshine, Children in Need, and Stevenage's Keech Hospice Care Children's Service, among others. He is also involved in charitable work through the creation of his Lewis Hamilton Foundation. Registered in June 2008, the foundation provides grants and donations to a number of charitable causes."

            All very noble and 'altruistic'.

            Of the useless 'professions', F1 drivers do give back to society, somewhat.

            Another useless profession, golfers, through the PGA and LPGA give hundreds of millions of dollars.

            Perhaps they realise that apart from the 'entertainment' value they provide, they really don't provide any value to society. Sweet f__k-all.

          All of this foundation and pledge stuff bores me. I'm interested in the knights' current racing results and Jaxwad's self proclaimed clairvoyance. Lewie now has to win 5 of the next 6 races to satisfy even the first leg of the guru's prognostications. Oops, oh well let's change our focus to Lewie's performance vs his teammate. Oops, that doesn't work either.

          • Shroppyfly

            It's just so easy
            to make Jaxi look stupid and it's fun to boot.I mean when your Gods been humiliated 6-1 by a young king in waiting, it has to hurt, maybe even make you feel a bit insecure in yourself

        • Susan

          Foundations are a get quick money maker for the people who start them. The percentage of money that is raised from these foundations to help people or organizations is quite low. Foundations have massive overheads. Salaries taking the majority of the donated funds. Ever hear of the Clinton Foundation? A giant scam. They made millions. The people of Haiti still live in abject poverty.
          Hope LH runs his better. Love to know more details. Commissions are just places for people who like to feel good about themselves without really doing anything. Sorry Jax, feels like a stab in the heart, eh!

    • ReallyOldRacer

      Amen. The bloom has been off the rose since Liberty bought the business. As I have said many times, corp's and OEM's are the death knell of our sport. You guys say what you want about racing in the US (much of it true), at least a racer owns IndyCar. Wonder why Penske wants nothing to do with F1? Pretty obvious answer.

  4. Shroppyfly

    The thing about Jax is he thinks
    All his fans think oh the power ( whatever the poor missguided soles think that is) oh the achievements, flawed,tarnished,reputation in the bin ,and finally money...lol who cares about money, the rest have riches worth far more, like gfs, wives and children .

      That's right....who cares about money. You don't need money to live well and raise a family. All you need is love and a cave to rest thy head. 😄 Your ignorance knoweth no bounds Fly boy.
      Folks...this is what happens when your life is sad to the point of obsessing over a successful person who you don't like, but which you can't measure up to.
      And the to answer your last foolish question. He has the most successful F1 career.....without CHEATING! That's something 'nobody' else can claim at this time.
      Starting a family is not unique and he still has loads of time and options of women to successfully do so. Something you can't and will never be accomplished enough to fathom.
      But do try to comprehend without injuring your tiny mind. Lol.

        Lulu already has all the money Money is not the issue. His days in f1 are waning and he sees his former achievements being shelved by younger drivers. That is LHs problem. He has been exposed for the driver that he really is. A driver that had a great car, not vis a verse.
        Regarding having a family.O nly time will tell, he will have to forgo some of his ego, to share a life with someone. He will have to find someone like Angela, that will hold his umbrella and run behind him carrying his luggage. Wish him luck! Money only goes so far.

        He has power for a short period and only in a sport. The small fish inwhy are you so fixated on money a big pond syndrome. Look at this way, in a hundred years, no one is going to care who or what was done in F1. The way it is going, it may be less than a hundred years.

        You have a serious fixation on Hamilton’s money and success. His achievements in racing are one thing but the money thing is getting weird. There are plenty of overpaid athletes in all sports. LH is just one. Ever hear of Tom Brady? He has tons of money. Lots of professional athletes do. And lots have accomplished success in their field.
        It appears you are living vicariously through LH. Interesting in sort of a strange and weird way.

          Money is part of measuring a level of success as one is paid according to their deemed worth, which also fuels envy by people who can't do what they do...much less to that level. Your "overpaid" comment just adds to my said point; hence, why I mention it. That old subconscious trigger Lol. In the end, their legacy is cemented. What have you haters done lately....whine and moan about them? 😏 Just sad.

    • Susan

      Jax keeps referring to LHs power. Is LH a race car driver by day, then turns into a superhero at night with mega powers? I agree he orToto have something going when it comes to having people fired. Not sure I’d brag about that as a character asset.
      You know Jax, George Soros has mega money, more than your hero. He uses his powers to destroy countries economies. Should we praise him for his wealth and power? That seems to be your requirement for admiration. Lewis is just a blip in Motorsport history, let’s put all this perspective.

      • Jax

        The goal, in case you still didn't get it despite my repeated allusions, was to trigger comments by highlighting the real reasons for you Louses disliking Lewis. My initial comment had nothing to do with the topic of the post, yet 50 comments. You get it yet? Lol smh.
        Now you've gone into conspiracies. So you're one those nuts aswell huh. 😄. Smh go figure.

    Is it really important what Jax thinks? Not really. Lewis has more to worry about than his hero worshpping fans. Every week his gripes, complaints are overtaking his former stardom as the G.O.A.T. Pretty soon, he will be referenced as the FORMER 7 time WDC. Shroppyfly, leave Roscoe alone. He can’t help his social faux pas, he is exposed to too many rappers. They are the best dogs, can’t say that about his owner.

    Oh I forgot, the Hamilton Commision, sounds impressive doesn't it , well for anyone that's actually read it, as I have its just a load of graphs and charts and % s, nothing really that highly likely wasn't in the public domain already or known to the Gov dept , but when presented by a load of eminent professors and Industry men , it looks all new and sparkly, when really it means f88k all, they just data gathered, and called it something flash .

  7. Shroppyfly

    Let's face it's the only way some people can get some interaction online is by
    by talking bollox , also the op front have to start commenting we all know why we dislike Lewis if he wasn't controversial no one would talk to him.... oh but do i mean Lucy,
    or his bro and fellow wannabe gangsta Jaxi and his crew

    So again let's put out the reminder, just ignore the rapper, us reacting is the only interaction he gets..

Your limited thinking say a a lot why you crave a bromance with Sir What’s His Name. Hero worshipping from a far is sad.

  10. Shroppyfly

    Anyone read the interview Toto gave where he was asked, If he'd ask Lewis to let George past, Toto an emphatic NO, quickly followed by the comment that he'd not tell George to let Lewis past, Just the fact the journo asking that question says a lot about how bad the knights performing against the new King at Merc.....
