Absolutely hilarious. (F1 will make you view it on YouTube.)

Hamilton was recently announced in the Queen's New Year's list which means he has the potential to become the 1st active F1 driver to be knighted.

Lewis Hamilton is still not signed for 2021.

  Quote

Hamilton has rejected an offer which could have seen him make 40 million euros a year with a 10 per cent bonus for winning the world championship. Reportedly, Hamilton has been looking at a long term 4-year contract and also is looking for more money.

That is quite interesting re Hamilton and I am surprised.   For me, a shot at an 8th title would outweigh the desire for a long term contract, especially with 40 million Euros guaranteed.  Even without a contract he'll be able to stay in F1 for 4 more years anyway.  And I don't know if he is worth more money than that.  Merc can win the title without him.  On paper, the rule changes for next year don't look like they will have a significant impact on Mercedes performance.  Bottas took second in the championship and George Russell showed what he can do behind the wheel of a Merc.   

I wonder what Mercedes will do?   I would love to see Hamilton replaced (or Bottas by someone else who can challenge Lewis, ie George Russell).  I see him as the GOAT but we already know the outcome of him driving a Mercedes with Bottas as his teammate.  Time to switch things up.

I think it’s all posturing by both sides right now. Hamilton is 36. Maybe he wants a piece of the company (or a bigger piece). I expect he’ll sign by the end of January or so.

But I don’t know, I’m just saying what I’ve read from other credible folks. Maybe they’ll settle on three years or something.

I agree it’s 90% the car and only about 10% the driver, which is really frustrating to me.

I think you are underestimating the drivers a bit. Yes it helps he has the best car but there are plenty of drivers that wouldnt have the success he does in that Merc. In the end they will pay him closer to his terms than theirs i believe. Looking forward to an exciting season.

I didn’t think I am. George went from zero points in his entire career to really having should have won the one race he did in a Merc. With only a few days to get used to it, the wrong sized cabin, a foreign wheel… etc.

I’ve asked others and they’ve said similar things. 80-95% is the car.

That’s part of what stinks about F1.

The love affair between Netflix and F1 continues, as it has been revealed that the online streaming service is to produce an original film starring John Boyega and Robert De Niro. Yep, seriously. Although the casting is...

Testing has begun:

 

 

I signed up for F1TV this year. F1TV25 saves you 25%. $60 for the year.

They still billed me the $80 so I've filed a support request.

Yeah, no. I'm going to quote a friend I showed your post to, and he said "The idea that it would’ve bounced off the guardrail w/o the halo is preposterous."

The Halo got into the guard rail after the monocoque pierced it. It wasn't the Halo piercing it, it was the part where his legs are.

The shell, the monocoque with the driver's legs and stuff, took a bunch of the impact.

The 2020 season of F1: Drive to Survive is out on Netflix. Would have finished binge watching it already if I wasn't out of town with only limited dongle access to the internet which I need for work. In some ways I find this more interesting than the actual races, which sometimes get boring

This season wasn’t as good. They covered few races. It wasn’t as chronological.

Netflix's cameras had an uninterrupted view of the paddock this year—which makes its framing weirder than ever.

Agreed, for the most part.

I agree. This season felt choppy, at best. Verstappen, the number 2 driver in F1, had about 30 seconds of total air time the entire season. They waited until the last 5 minutes of the series to let Hamilton speak on the big social justice issues going on. 

The "Man on Fire" episode was pretty good, but even then they kept jumping from the crash to a different story in the same episode. Very bizarre.

Good for fans attending the Saturday sessions. The purists won't like it, but I think experimentation is good.

    • Day 2 (22 Jan 25) - Had planned to maybe roll some putts as we get 5-7” of snow last night.  Then the grandson puts into hit some foam balls in the snow - small carpet for a temp tee box, soft foam balls and a wedge and we’re off.  Those were the easy swings - playing a foam ball “in the snow” was major fried egg splash out city….great fun and challenge..
    • Day 42: 1/22/2025 Did my usual mirror work with a 7 iron today. But I also get in some chipping practice in the basement. Hitting my 60 degree and my 54 to a couple of different targets. Looking forward to hitting some balls again as soon. 
    • Day 114 - 2025-01-22 Had 15 minutes before lessons today so reinforced what I did yesterday.
    • Day 5: 1/22/25 Putting and chipping practice. Weight shift drills while doing my Par 4 Success workout.
    • When you're quite overweight, you burn more calories just existing than someone much thinner just existing, so it's easier to lose more weight more quickly, too. A very large person can lose 10-12 pounds in three weeks without being unhealthy about rapid weight loss. If you weigh 170 and want to weigh 160, though, you should take your time getting down there.
