Of course Mercedes are cheating...Karen Horner says so and we all know how utterly trustworthy Karen is.
He wouldn't at all run over his own grandmother if it would get Mercedes into trouble.
Plus Mercedes are obviously paying the FIA off, that goes without saying.
Word is that a signed photograph of Toto in his underwear and a years supply of Curly Wurlys is the going rate.

Hmm, Mercedes &/or Toto must have been behind Adrian Newey's 'accident'

Sabotage is part of the Mercedes BlitzKrieg !
And that isn't strange for Bottas...

Can't understand why a mature man in his sixties could have such a pile up on a bike, hope he at least was wearing a crash lid.

The kid that would be king with 7 WDC wins.

Steeler · 10-21-2021, 02:11 PM

This the Bahrain thread or the Silverstone thread, oooor?
I can't tell the difference.

Carry on conspiracizing.

RB should have an advantage in Mexico and Brazil with the higher altitude and in Austin they have re layed the track in some areas hopefully those bumps in the esses have been fixed.

It's still unclear to me , was it with a bike (bicycle) or a motorbike ...

In Croatia of all places, then I only can think he was on a trials or moto cross m/bike maybe on some trials course, would figure with those injuries it would be unlikely on just a push bike unless a vehicle went into him.

At his age he must be mad to try that.

Grandpa Hammy,well his hair may be greying from the stress of having some real competition and not the easy peasy Sunday drives he's enjoyed in the past.

Bubbles · 10-21-2021, 02:34 PM

Max is now the most popular driver, Lando jumps into 2nd spot (top spot with females), Hammy tumbles to #3 with about a ~40% popularity reduction compared to 2017 figures.

Confirms Gasly and Russell slide into the top ten. Bottas remains unlisted.

Some drivers that put in a great deal of effort on their public image may be disappointed with the results.

Mclaren becomes most popular, RBR jumps into #2 spot while Ferrari and Merc drop 14% and 6%, respectively. This is first time Ferrari is not #1.

Interestingly, Max is now the top popular driver for the US market (emerging).

Sprint races, not really wanted, but fans want the good days of the tire wars.

Precisely - your hero Max may be able to win once Lewis retires.

I’d put my money on others though
