Yep. In fact, he's got more speed king awards than Schumacher, Senna and Fangio combined. Just that far ahead of them.Take that Schumacher! GOAT confirmed.

Found this.I like the teams only having on fp1. Clearly RB havent dialled the car in to their liking. If not had been the usual weekend, fp2 and fp3 would have given them time to nail the setup. However F1 needs the battle to be really close to keep the season interesting.
Does this qualify as a normal pole for lewis and add to his record or is a there a new column in the records now for sprint qualifying?
WHAT HAPPENS IF A CAR GETS DAMAGED? Damage in the sprint is treated in the same way as damage between normal qualifying and the race. Teams can apply for permission to change components and should do so with parts of the same specification.I didn't realise that it's a proper qualifier run as a race so the positions after tomorrow's sprint follow through into Sunday. If somebody has a wing knocked off and has to pit they will start in last place.
What a mess. It should be whoever was fastest on friday qually gets official pole position end of. Sprint race outcome is a lottery, qualifying is about being as fast as possible over one lap. No wonder vettel so against how PP was awarded this weekend.Found this.
Who is credited with pole position?
Two 'race' starts over the weekend but only one official pole position for the record books - and that, as ever, goes to the driver who starts from the head of the grid for Sunday's Grand Prix.
That means the winner of F1 Sprint (provided he takes up his P1 grid spot on Sunday) is also the British GP pole-position holder.
So, for example, if Lewis Hamilton wins Saturday's sprint, he'll also be credited with F1 career pole number 101.
Drivers who win the sprint, or who finish second and third, are not credited with race wins or podium finishes to their career statistics. But the achievement is still recognised by F1 after the race as, in a nod to the sport's history, the trio will be presented with wreaths and take part in a victory parade around the lap.
It's F1, everybody breaks the rules until they get caught and pretend they didn't know about it.would that not be against the rules ?
Well with only 1 practice session how do you expect a team to dial the car in, the qualifying system is a joke might want to take the silver tinted glasses off, FP2 is part and parcel of an F1 weekend also generates money.Why do we have FP2 at 12pm today? Surely the cars should be in parc ferme until the sprint race? What a mess.
Problem with FP2 is that RB will dial in the car for the circuit and fix the understeer that max had during qually yesterday.
I hate this new concept, talk about diluting your IP/brand.
It is to allow all the teams the same 3 practice rounds as in a standard gp.Why do we have FP2 at 12pm today? Surely the cars should be in parc ferme until the sprint race? What a mess.

The less FP sessions there are the more unpredictable the race as the teams can dial in the car nor do the long runs with different fuel loads / tyres etc.Well with only 1 practice session how do you expect a team to dial the car in, the qualifying system is a joke might want to take the silver tinted glasses off, FP2 is part and parcel of an F1 weekend also generates money.
Exactly, he even got a little tow from Bottas. But that's how the Hamilton myth works, I've seen people claiming that he's great because he's this successful with 3 world championas as teammates, they count the fact that he managed to be beaten by Rosberg (and Button) as a sign of his strength.You guys do realise that not all of these can be true simultaneously: Lewis is amazing, Bottas sucks and Lewis is less than 0.2s quicker.
