This might shed some light on that:Tsunoda is a Honda driver, I wonder with them leaving whether the F1 seat is now off the table, I would imagine it is. What's in it for RB?
I think Haas would promote one of the Ferrari Academy drivers from F2.It would be a very un-RB like move, but it does make sense. He's 33 so is by no means any sort of threat to Max, but he should be quick enough to stay within a pit stop of the leaders, which is what RB need. Presumably Albon down to AT and Kvyat making way (Haas perhaps, unless they fill up with Ferrari academy drivers).
How do you know? He's only 35.Probably because Stewart contributed to the sport in a way that Hamilton hasn't and never will regarding safety.
People forget just how important Jackie Steward is to Formula 1. His push for safety in the sport is legendary. Hamiltons actual contributions to the sport aside from being a successful driver are actually not that great and he falls short of even schumacher let alone Sir Jackie. Hamilton's had a great opportunity this year to do something like Rashford, but he's done virtually the bare minimum for the BLM movement considering his standing in the sport and the fact that generally f1 is a rich white family sport.
For him to deserve knighthood, he needs to do more than be the most succesful driver in a 1 horse race.
Putting aside your bias againt Hamilton for one moment, that comment is pretty uneducated. He’s changed policy on not only his F1 team but pushed and changed policy for Daimler as a corporate group. Outside of that, setting up the Hamilton Comission with the Royal Academy of Engineering to look at how the sport can create more opportunities for young black students in motorsport. He’s also driven F1 into launching a diversity taskforce and setting up a foundation to create, primarily, apprenticeships and scholarships for underrepresented groups, with F1 underwriting that with $1m to drive the success.Hamilton's had a great opportunity this year to do something like Rashford, but he's done virtually the bare minimum for the BLM movement considering his standing in the sport
Because Stewart was doing this while he was racing. Not when he's retired, because like most drivers, you simply become a talking head once your career stops. Very few ever have an impact on the sport after the fact like Sir Jackie had while he was still in the cockpit.How do you know? He's only 35.
Stewart wasn't knighted until 2001, 28 years after he stopped racing.
Stirling Moss was knighted in 2000, purely for his racing exploits. Better drivers than him were never knighted but they didn't have his celebrity status.
Hamilton has plenty of time to make an impact outside his racing, but if he wants to get recognition for his driving alone he needs to put his dummy back in and be a more willing face of the sport.
As other's have pointed out, this is not correct. Putting aside the stuff he has actually done, the suggestion is that having to smash the racial barriers down on his own isn't enough, he needs to do more. What great advancements in their field have Murray, Farah, Holmes, Ennis-Hill, Wiggins and Hoy made that Hamilton is lacking? One could argue the domination of a white dominated, middle class sport such as F1 by a working class black lad should be sufficient. It puts him the category of Woods, the Williams' sisters etc.Probably because Stewart contributed to the sport in a way that Hamilton hasn't and never will regarding safety.

Why does Hamilton have this standard applied when other sportspeople do not?For him to deserve knighthood, he needs to do more than be the most succesful driver in a 1 horse race.
What do you expect Hamilton to do? Stewart pushed for a change in F1 that affected only F1. It was a comparably easy and obvious change but racism in society is way bigger than any sport. Hamilton has forced through a number of things within the motor racing, but obviously it's never going to make a dent on the wider topic.Because Stewart was doing this while he was racing. Not when he's retired, because like most drivers, you simply become a talking head once your career stops.

Sir Richard Branson.Forgive me if I'm wrong, isn't it the case that anyone whos fiddled taxes never gets a knighthood (hence David Beckham).
Technically Lewis isn't doing anything wrong by living in Monaco although I can't imagine how much money he's 'legally' avoided paying in taxes.
Probably depends on how successful they were at it. Im sure the royals have tons of respect for someone who did it as well as Branson.Sir Richard Branson.
Problem is he's the fastest horse in the world so can't be caught.For him to deserve knighthood, he needs to do more than be the most succesful driver in a 1 horse race.
Doesn't Mercedes own a seat at Williams? There's no way they'll allow them to dump Russel while Latifi is still occupying a seat.I see there are rumors floating around that Russel might be out of his seat next year at Williams, with them favouring Perez for the seat.
Don't own the seat, rather Williams get a discount on the Merc engine.Doesn't Mercedes own a seat at Williams? There's no way they'll allow them to dump Russel while Latifi is still occupying a seat.
I wouldn't be surprised as Perez brings huge sponsorship money with them, and Williams need money.I see there are rumors floating around that Russel might be out of his seat next year at Williams, with them favouring Perez for the seat.
Being very generous to him there putting that in past tense.before he even scored any points.
You don't win the GP2 championship against drivers like Norris without being a very good driver.Being very generous to him there putting that in past tense.
Honestly I remain unconvinced bu Russell, yes he has quick quali times but I'm not sure he has got the race pace. His good work in quali is often undone by being an awful starter which gets progressively a bigger issue the higher up the grid you qualify.
He also hasn't exactly shown anything worthy of being in a merc yet considering the drivers he has beat are the ghost of Kubica and Latifi.
He wouldn't be the first GP2 winner not to make it in F1. I think it's way to early to he calling someone who has never even scored a point in F1 as a future WDC. He usually barely finishes that much further up the road than Latifi.You don't win the GP2 championship against drivers like Norris without being a very good driver.
He's in the worst car on the grid and consistently outperforms it. Wait until he gets a proper car and then you'll see, I don't think you quite realise how much difference there can be with having a car that much slower than everybody else. It clearly doesn't perform once it gets weight in it.

Retard. He also called Stroll a mongol at the end of that rant just to double down on the slurs.What was the word they bleeped out beginning with R??
Is that ever used in English? (The m one) It's not unusual in Dutch.Retard. He also called Stroll a mongol at the end of that rant just to double down on the slurs.
It is. Might not be the most common slur in English but it and the shorter "Ihni binni dimi diniwiny anitaime" are sadly still used by some.Is that ever used in English? (The m one) It's not unusual in Dutch.
Thanks.Retard. He also called Stroll a mongol at the end of that rant just to double down on the slurs.
Nah, he's not Lewis so all he's got is a mild warning from his team, nothing from the stewards.Thanks.
Will surely result in some kind of punishment?
