"Me be being cynical or is it funny now he’s world he’s got covid. May be wanted a longer break??" World Champion | |||
"He must have been at Rita Ora’s party at the weekend, so much for the secure F1 bubble."  | |||
| |||
"Funnily enough he was hugging a massive group of teammates after his win with absolutely zero social distancing. So I'm not surprised at all. Funny that no one ever seemed to condemn him either at the time" I noticed that too. Will they all have to self isolate now ? | |||
"Funnily enough he was hugging a massive group of teammates after his win with absolutely zero social distancing. So I'm not surprised at all. Funny that no one ever seemed to condemn him either at the time" The usual us and them laws and rules apply, didn't you know that?! | |||

"Wow, the anti Hamilton commentators out in force today! It's not as though he's the first person in the public eye to have contracted C19 and I'd guess being part of a F1 team presents some social distancing challenges." No one forced him to hug 30 + teammates did they? It's got nothing to do with whether I like him or not it's about inconsistencies. | |||
" Funny that no one ever seemed to condemn him either at the time" Condemn? Unless we know he contracted the virus due to reckless behaviour on his part I don't think anyone's in a position to condemn him. Unless of course you'd like to shame everyone who's ever contracted the virus. | |||
"Wow, the anti Hamilton commentators out in force today! It's not as though he's the first person in the public eye to have contracted C19 and I'd guess being part of a F1 team presents some social distancing challenges." I'm a fan of Lewis Hamilton, i was just making a comment about the lack of social distancing. | |||

The media's suggesting it was prior to the Bahrain GP. The irony is Hamilton is tested regularly, and posted consistently recorded negative results, so it's understandable that he believed he posed little/no risk to others and he certainly won't now as he's forced to self isolate, rightly so. | |||
"He must have been at Rita Ora’s party at the weekend, so much for the secure F1 bubble. "You know he was doing Rita on a regular basis the lucky bastard | |||
"Let's just wish him a speedy recovery. Pardon the pun. " Hear, hear and hope no one else in his close circle has become infected  | |||

It is not a personal Vendetta against Lewis Hamilton, who I absolutely love because he's vegan amongst other things. I'm just baffled as to why people are out in force condemning Rita Ora for having a meal with 30 friends, when he basically hugged 30 friends. Rule is hands face space, and that applies to everybody on the planet famous or otherwise. | |||
" I'm just baffled as to why people are out in force condemning Rita Ora for having a meal with 30 friends, when he basically hugged 30 friends." Thanks for the clarification, this is the first you've mentioned Rita Ora in the thread! For the record I'd 'condemn' her behaviour but not her if she contracted the virus. | |||

Which is what I'm doing about Lewis Hamilton I just think it was was a severe lack of judgement to jump into that crowd. I guess you could say that his excitement at winning was maybe similar to Rita Ora's excitement at having a birthday party. I just feel that because she is a woman and dresses sexy, and also has had quite a few boyfriends, she is often trashed and s*** shamed and I think this was just another opportunity for people to have a go at her. | |||

The reason we still have elite sport is because players/managers /support staff are being tested regularly and remain in a team bubble as much as possible to reduce the risk of infection. Unfortunately nothing can eliminate the risk of infection completely as C19 is as easy to catch as the common cold. | |||

Inconsistencies and people cannot hug dying relatives. Sick to bloody death people justifying | |||

"The hugging is not just Lewis it's all sports people I've never understood it but the powers that be call it their bubble and also hide behind the fact that they are tested daily which is the gen6 public aren't No it's not fair but that's the whole them and us of stars and public " Exactly and it's like me having an STI test and then wanting to have sex without a condom with somebody. What about the time in between having the test and having sex even if it was just a matter of a few hours? I could have unprotected sex and catch something and similarly with covid after being tested you could still contract it it before you hug 30 of your teammates. People will always defend things when it suits them and their interests and their agenda. Someone who is not a fan of Rita Ora but loves to watch the Grand Prix will always find something nice to say about their Hero. | |||
| |||
"Well at least someone else can win for a change. He’s a good lad Lewis but he makes the sport a bit repetitive by being so good and driving such a decent build. " Time for Bottas to justify his seat, Verstappen will be all over him, Hope Checco does good if RP have a fucking car left | |||

"Someone who is not a fan of Rita Ora but loves to watch the Grand Prix will always find something nice to say about their Hero." I'm not really a fan of Rita Ora or Lewis Hamilton but understand the reasons why they're popular with their fans. In this instance though I think Rita Ora is more deserving of criticism, since it's her behaviour which is being highlighted and she hasn't tested +ve as far as we know. Hamilton on the other hand has tested +ve, which is bad enough as it could have serious consequences on his wellbeing but we don't know how he contracted the virus, he may well have been distributing food parcels to impoverished orphans  | |||

You're right, people will always try to find some justification to support their views, my point is we don't know how he contracted the virus and whether he was behaving irresponsibly when he did so, he may have been sneezed on by one of the aforementioned orphans, or been committing acts of buggery with Rita at her party!  | |||

"Time to call a permanent halt to all forms of motorsport- except rallying. So dull and pointless just going round and round a circuit. Same old same old. All covered with multiple sponsor logos so that any advertising just becomes a blur. They get a trophy and stand on a podium, spray Champagne. Dull, dull, dull. It’s all been done to death. " Ah right because you don’t enjoy any form of motorsport it should be halted. You obviously never watched bike racing nothing Dull about that. | |||

"Those critics bringing up the fact he hugged his engineering team (who also have all been regularly tested and work in a so called bubble)... Did you comment or create any forum threads condemning rugby players during the recent Autumn games and end of the six nations?..... or is it just because there’s “something” you don’t like about Lewis Hamilton in particular?" Well said!!!! | |||

Ps I believe F1 teams are supposed to operate as independent bubbles." This is correct, during the season the teams are independent bubbles... his mechanics and crew are all part of that bubble.

But along with the other sports players, rugby, football.. we see celebrating by hugging eachother and kissing eachother (basically showing no restraint at all), it's not good to see when "we" can't do the basics with the people we love... And who may also have been tested and isolated and encountered many fewer interactions with people. I mean what's the point of the F1 presenters and so on doing interviews in face masks (great image and pr) when it's all undone by group hugs in celebration. | |||

I honestly did not expect Merc to choose George but i'm glad they did. It's going to be a big ask for George, but i really really hope he can stick it to Bottas and come in ahead of him. If he does, it proves that sticking with Bottas next year is a mistake. | |||

Should be an interesting race "Cant see beyond Verstappen for the next race. The only driver to consistently pressure Hamilton this season, and in an inferior car as well. With the different track layout (a series of sweeping bends instead of the infield section), then race pace through corners will be important, and the Red Bull is good at that. | |||

" I'm just baffled as to why people are out in force condemning Rita Ora for having a meal with 30 friends, when he basically hugged 30 friends. Ps I believe F1 teams are supposed to operate as independent bubbles. This is correct, during the season the teams are independent bubbles... his mechanics and crew are all part of that bubble. He did nothing wrong after the race, just seems like people fancy a moan at somebody whom is heavily in the public eye and just contracted covid... And those independent bubbles have families and friends, grocery shopping etc to do... Of which many don't get to see during the season, they also don't do most of their own shopping. Honestly, you read about Rita ora, the Kardashian and whatnot hosting parties during lockdown and getting measly fines. Or football players spending an hour and a half on a pitch with 21 other players, 11 of which AREN'T in their bubble. I mean, the saints, an American football team won their last game, went back to the locker room and celebrated without masks, and got fined half a million dollars and lost a draft pick for next season... For celebrating in a room full of people in their bubble, after spending multiple hours on a pitch together... It's unreal... I can't do this, so these people who dedicate their life to a sport that provides entertainment, and operate inside s bubble of fully tested people shouldn't be able to either. Sounds like textbook sense of entitlement to me. I mean... He won a race and celebrated with his team, he didn't go out clubbing, or host a party for his closest friends and family. I think the point was he was still with a large group of people. They are all as bad as each other. " They are in no way as bad as eachother, he did something that is totally okay, due to the circumstances he is currently in, with him and the team being tested daily, and them commuting to the same bubble during season. She (Rita Ora), broke the rules and tried to be sneaky by sneaking people in the back door, and was only caught when somebody outed her to the police. Totally different situations. What people are actually pissef about, is the fact that he is allowed to celebrate and hug his team when he wins a race, but they don't have a team of tested individuals in their bubble, jealousy and a sense of entitlement makes them then want to condemn him for something he is perfectly okay doing. | |||

"Lewis Hamilton has never been seen without a mask since they were made mandatory. Still got covid. There's a message there!" Masks don't provide 100% protection from Covid? Didn't we already know that? They only reduce the risk! | |||
"Lewis Hamilton has never been seen without a mask since they were made mandatory. Still got covid. There's a message there! Masks don't provide 100% protection from Covid? Didn't we already know that? They only reduce the risk!" Apparently that simple fact is beyond some peoples understanding. | |||
"PS Good news for George Russell as he will drive Lewis's car this weekend" Should be a guaranteed win for George then, because according to many, Lewis only wins because he's in the fastest car! Yes, apparently it's even faster than the one that Bottas drives | |||

I think it does say a lot about the car being the biggest factor in making champions. In fact, I think stick me in that Mercedes and I'd get somewhere near the podium  | |||

"Overrated. Russell within 0.02 of Bottas. Says it all. Could put a donkey in that merc and it would win... " So, are you saying that even a donkey is better than Bottas? | |||

"Hamilton tests positive, should see some good racing in F1 this weekend." It speaks volumes when a driver who's never scored a point in F1 can drive hamilton's car just as quick as he can. Gutted for Russell | |||

"Overrated. Russell within 0.02 of Bottas. Says it all. Could put a donkey in that merc and it would win... So, are you saying that even a donkey is better than Bottas?" Nope. I'd say either driver in a merc would beat the donkey, but he'd be the best of the rest. Key thing is, Bottas is not overrated. When I watch Brit produced F1, it's like watching "The Lewis Hamilton Show". Bores the pants off me.... | |||

"One thing I have come to realise is that many people aren't who they seem to be. Covid has certainly brought out the worst in many on fab. Some of the most critical and judgemental people I've encountered, many of whom would say they were non judgemental. These threads though are great to read as guards drop. Some being long term influencers on fab forums too." You've just noticed?!!  | |||

In one of the last MitoGP races 4 seconds covered first to last after 45 minutes racing. The Mercs pulled that today in about 10 laps

"Wow I didn't realise this many people hated Lewis Hamilton. I wonder why??? Lol" I don't hate him as sportsmen go he is really lacking in the personality department. Not a very interesting or exciting champiom for the public to get behind. Plus it makes for a dull race when you know who will win. What are you suggesting? | |||

Are there any drivers (or even sports persons) who have any real personality. They are now just PR machines; none more so than Hamilton who was in his early teens when McLaren started preparing him for greatness | |||
"Those critics bringing up the fact he hugged his engineering team (who also have all been regularly tested and work in a so called bubble)... Did you comment or create any forum threads condemning rugby players during the recent Autumn games and end of the six nations?..... or is it just because there’s “something” you don’t like about Lewis Hamilton in particular?" This right here. If I remember correctly all of those guys from his team were still wearing masks and had their gloves on. Football players hug each other after every goal,they roll on the ground when tackled,the same ground that is spat on from the start to the finish of the match. Lewis is not the first F1 driver to test positive. Haters will keep hating and he'll come back stronger. | |||
"Hamilton tests positive, should see some good racing in F1 this weekend. It speaks volumes when a driver who's never scored a point in F1 can drive hamilton's car just as quick as he can. Gutted for Russell" He drove it quick but not as quick as Hamilton. Just like every footballer can kick a ball but you can't compare them all to Messi,Pele or Maradona | |||
"He will have to stay in his 6 star hotel room in Bahrain for 2 weeks with nothing but the finest room service, by the pool in 35 degree heat in December........ha ha Lewis unlucky, oh wait hang on a minute "There it is. Looks like he's living the life you can't even dream about lol. That's the real reason you seem to dislike him. | |||
"Me be being cynical or is it funny now he’s world he’s got covid. May be wanted a longer break?? World Champion " Its you being cynical | |||

George is a good driver and he'll probably drive for Mercedes in the future but to think he can replace Lewis now after 1 good race is ridiculous and I don't think Mercedes are even thinking about it | |||

S" Being Lewis' team mate and competing against him is not easy,Nico said that it was mentally and physically draining that's why he retired after becoming world champion coz it would have been too different him to try to defend the title against Lewis. George will probably take Lewis' seat when he retires as he's the future for Mercedes | |||

What separates very good and Great is consistency over time. Mercedes will only have very good drivers even in the background so no surprise that they can produce it. A great driver will take a very good car and make it look even better and make an average car seem fast. Many are forgetting that the cars change every race. It was only a few races back that Hamilton said "I've no idea what car I'll have tomorrow", the conditions were changing so much that setup's were going to be guess work. | |||
