I wonder if Lewis has his anti Putin t-shirt ready.

Hamilton having a full on trolley dash at Toys R Us today.
It's amazing how he just can't let something go (even years after Rosberg won the title he still whines about it not being right).

He needs to DNF 3 times before anyone can overtake him in the title race and he's moaning that he (probably) won't win this race.

[w00dsy]

He just said 'they're out to stop me' while talking to Natalie Pinkham. He can't let go of his victim attitude.

[Big Kev]

Sky - Does it seem excessive?

Hamilton - It's to be expected, they're trying to stop me aren't they.

Sky - You really think so.

Hamilton - Of course. But it's ok, I just need to keep my head down and stay focussed and see what happens.

[Big Kev]

The penalty points which had pushed him close to a Formula 1 race ban have been rescinded by RussianGP stewards

[Big Kev]

Bottas - "To my critics, to those who it may concern: Fuck you"
er.... let's be honest, you only won cos Hamilton had a penalty. You wouldn't have seen him for dust otherwise so it's hardly silencing the critics!

[w00dsy]

I saw that one as payback for 2018 when they asked him to pull over for Lewis.

What another shit boring race apart from a few back marker scraps that were not really that exciting if it were any other race.
Sainz fark-up at the start was cringe worthy, he was lucky he didn't get collected. That so called slow-down section is poorly implemented as per Grosjean's feeble attempt at trying to abide by it.
Bo77as statements on the radio after he won were so out of touch, he just doesn't have what it takes nor does he get it. LMAO!!!
LOL at Johnny Herbert's podium interviews, he was trying so hard to get Hamilton to say something controversial & all Hammy wanted to do was get the fark out of there.

I found Lulu's Russian GP shirt for him.

What a spoilt brat! The contrast between his attitude and that of Ricardo is just amazing.

The sooner Lewis gets all his precious records and leaves the sport the better.

Is anyone surprised by Hamilton's carry on. Another entitled fuckwit whining when things dont fall for him. Even one of my work colleagues is going off him, and he has been a huge fan for years. His comment this morning was pretty on the money... "If he would shut his mouth, he would be remembered as a great, as it is most people will say he was a good driver but a fucking arsehole". Seems like what a lot of people say already to be honest.

[KNAPPO]

Its one thing to be annoyed at the situation but its a pretty low act to reply to Bonno who was just doing his job and helping the spoilt brat that "I don't want the info anymore, it doesn't make a difference"

Although I think we have to forgive them a bit for what they say during the race because they're fired up, he doesn't come across well on the radio. Ricciardo's contrasting response to the penalty was adorable

I wonder what racing drivers back in the day would be like with modern radio comms.

[Jamo]

I had him pegged as a piece of shit back in his pre F1 McLaren days.

As James Hunt would've said "A right, proper c**t"
