Shit is crazy, the night and day difference. Lewis looked like a rookie fucking up those corners.
September 15-17
Mercedes is fuckin' up
How does a top tier team with Hamilton and Bottas not even make the podium?

Kimi ain't feeling it, I believe Ferrari made him take 2nd place to give Seb a bigger lead over Lewis.
Can't make this shit up. Honda is a fucking course in motorsports.
Fuck him
He got fired
And the funny thing is that damn near everybody was rooting for a Spaniard to win and the top 6 drivers were all foreigners.
Didn't make it that far... If HAM is not doing I don't bother that much. F all the other overrated F1 drivers with choreographed results. They are not worth watching really. I still don't know who I am going to root for when he retires (probably 4 more years). I used to like Kimi back at Mclaren.
I hope this will shut up all the Jenson Button cheerleaders. Desperate move at Monaco no less...
Consider streaming in the future (check out the F1 subreddit on race day). From there you can chrome cast it to your TV set if don't want to watch on your PC monitor.
There are streams from all over the world (and in different languages). I think I posted the links somewhere here before.
I have a firestick running Kodi, I'm more than sure a stream is on there, just haven't looked.

Since Fernando Alonso has decided to ditch the Monaco Grand Prix for the Indianapolis 500, people have considered the advantages of the IndyCar Series over Formula 1. Several drivers are rumored to be considering a switch out of F1 in favor of the American series, raising the question of what many Grand Prix drivers think of their counterparts across the pond. Lewis Hamilton recently responded to those thoughts in an interview with French publication L'Equipe, showing his doubts about the current Indy Car field.
"I looked at the times and, frankly, for his first-ever qualifying for Fernando to be fifth—what does that say about Indy?" Hamilton said.
This isn't to take away Alonso's credibility, but instead, to compare him—an unexperienced driver in the series—to those who have been competing in it for quite some time.
Hamilton went on to say, "A great driver, if he cannot win in Formula 1, will look for other races to win." Prior to cracking a smile, he continued, "But to see him fifth against drivers who are there all year is...interesting."
That's a pretty snarky remark, but in the same token, could Hamilton have a point? It's all dependent on your views regarding Alonso's capabilities in comparison to the rest of the Indy Car field.
Regardless of opinion, the real test for Alonso will be actually competing in a full race against tested drivers who are both familiar with their cars and the track.
Coincidentally, IndyCar drivers found Hamilton’s comment … interesting.
“It's funny hearing comments about the depth of our field from someone that only has to race three other cars,” James Hinchcliffe said Saturday after the first of two races at Detroit.
Hinchcliffe, who finished third, was taking a jab at Formula One’s lack of competition. A little bit later, Detroit winner Graham Rahal did the same.
“When I saw Lewis Hamilton's comment, you guys know me, it took everything I had in my body not to say something. Legitimately, in Formula One, over his entire career, it's been a two-car race, four max, max. .... IndyCar racing, this is the seventh race, seventh different winner. That doesn't happen in other motor sports. Period. So no matter what anybody wants to say, it's a great form of motor sports.
"I can't imagine the feeling of going to each and every race weekend and knowing that all I got to do is beat my teammate and I'm going to win. But that doesn't happen here. So it was rewarding to have a day like today.”
Then Rahal put the cherry on top of the sundae.
“Look, the truth? I put Scott Dixon in a Mercedes all day long, and Lewis is going to have more than he really wants to deal with. I can guarantee you that. Maybe not me, but Scott Dixon.”

Hamilton does have a point, Alonso comes out the blue no Indy Racing background whatsoever and competes. Your talking about a race Indy 500 and Nascar in particular are races that goes around in a oval. It's more about the endurance of the driver than any technical skill. And I like both Motorsports. To disprove Lewis theory a Indy driver should race in a F1 event and see if he or she can cut the mustard. Even the great AJ Foyt, he raced in Daytona, Indy and USAC Cart done well, raced in F1 for three years never scored a signal point. If you look at Mario Andretti win loss ratio, he performed better in Indy Cart and even Nascar. Andretti second Nascar race he finished in 1st place.

And there's no cherry for Rahal regarding Scott Dixon being competitive against Hamilton, you don't talk smack about someone but then turn around and say you can't do it but someone else can.

The Brit F1 driver aimed a jibe at IndyCar after Formula 1 driver Fernando Alonso qualified in fifth for the Indy 500 despite just having never driven a race before.
The IndyCar industry hit back with driver Graham Rahal claiming F1 was simply a two-car race and Hamilton couldn’t handle an Indy car.
And now footage has emerged of F1 legend Michael Schumacher giving his thoughts on the Indy 500 in a rare interview on the topic.
Tied Senna. He'll overhaul Schumacher by the end of the year to take the #1 spot. Living lengend.
It's time...
