Did you even watch this seazon in its entirety?
Sorry my mistake, you are right. He was actually beating others cars when he was crashing into them. Should be clearer. He wasn't beating anyone in terms of driving and scoring points.

So Kevin Magnussen in Hass had more pole position than Lewis Hamilton in 2022. And also Russell, second tier driver who came from the worst team on the grid, in his first season at Merc will beat him in the championship.
It's incredible to see such fall from the grace in the span of 1 year.
Wum

well in that respect you are correct, but come on, there was reasons and the pole in a sprint was under extraordinary circumstances.
But this bit " It's incredible to see such fall from the grace in the span of 1 year. " is pure WUM
Ok looking at other stats. He will end the at best 5th in the championship equaling his worst result. If Sainz beats him it will be the worst in his career. It will be his first winless season.

all that in a car which was 3rd best on the grid way infront of 4th best car and arguably the car which was the fastest in last couple of races.

Nah, a bold claim would be that RedBull wont be found guilty of cheating again for another season in regards to spending cap.
I'd say George finishing ahead of Lewis next season is about 10 times more likely than that, especially given RB will have a fraction of the repair bill and switched off current car development earlier, but I guess we can revisit next year and see which prediction bore out.

Hamilton complaining about purpoising this weekend is really just his spine getting old and nothing else, right? Other cars were literally undriveable in some corners watching them, purpoising on this track during the practice and qualifying was ridiculous for every car and other drivers hardly complained, but Hamilton thinks that's only Merc's problem and apparently that's why they were slow.

Now watch them tomorrow again being easily better than Ferrari.

Max really is obsessed with Lewis, his eyes are glued to the mirror, and watch his steering wheel as Lewis goes to overtake...

I think you're reading too much into it, seems fairly normal when drivers are queuing and every other race the gentlemen's agreement is broken though as can be seen the cars ahead didn't. Normally they try to cover each other throughout the lap but Max didn't move the car much as it seemed too late so Hamilton caught him out.

The drivers are always watching each other, they even get on the radio if they think the drivers around them have gone off track limits whilst racing around at 180mph.

I don't think either are obsessed they just happen to be two of the most talented driver's in their generation and therefore fierce competitors. They do need to give each other more respect on track though as they clearly race better amongst the other drivers.

Can we just appreciate the amount of love Vettel is getting this weekend. Rather lovely to see.

If Max was the one jumping ahead with Lewis focusing on his mirrors you'd probably still say the same. We see that little dance play out every qualifying whenever someone jumps the queue.

Todays race is probably going to be crap so let’s hope Vettel sees it through to cap a marvellous career.

Id love Seb to have a great final race

I wonder what he's going to do next? I'd love to see him doing some guest commentary or analysis like Rosberg used to I watched him on Top Gear when he drove the reasonably priced car and he was hilarious

Good F2 race earlier, another podium for Lawson, unlucky for Doohan who was leading the race and then had his wheel fall off after a pit stop.
