It _is_ a good setup for an interesting race. Leclerc in his usual pole (but can Ferrari match Red Bull speed on the straights?), Perez in P2 (will Verstappen in P3 aggress his teammate for P2? Will there be team orders?). This has been a great season so far.
What do blue eyes have to do with it? Don't turn this into a racial thing. Hamilton is one of the greatest if not the greatest F1 driver ever and he worked hard to get to where he is at. I don't like Hamilton because he is not only a pompous ass (which most F1 drvers are) but he turned last year into a woke, political S*%@ show. I'm thankful the FIA woke up and put an end to that. Also, Hamilton has refused to take off his jewelry in the car which is a blatant and flagrant violation of the FIA safety rules. Not a big violation and I personally couldn't care less as he is putting no one in danger, but a violation non the less which when confronted by the FIA he refused to remove them. He should have been benched or penalized every race until he abided by the rules, especially a safety rule.
I think you’re reading his post wrong. Nothing racial there.
My bad, apologies if I misunderstood. Hamilton reminds me of Jackie Stewart, very smooth and always brings the car home. I love watching him drive.
Yep. The announcers on the broadcast I watch often say: "If you want to finish first, you must first finish"
Indeed. Though I am wondering, with Hamilton's "getting on in years" if his reflexes are just the tiniest slower. Something on the order of 1/100 of 1%. Would that not make a difference in his showing!
Age didn't seem to effect him last year when he was racing Max, who is 13 years his junior. Age catches up with everyone, though. Schumacher wasn't the same when he made his comeback.

Their new circuits frenzy is getting pretty annoying. For one thing, many of them just suck, and they're losing the historical roots the sport in the process. Losing Spa (my personal favorite) to yet another desert town's streets or fill-in-name-of-rich-country's newly designed track will be getting near final straw to me as a fan.More talk of European races being dropped to make way for the new circuits. This time they're saying Spa could be on the chopping block and could be a biennial event. Arguably, the greatest track on the calendar that all the drivers love getting relegated to every other year would be a mistake. Hope that doesn't happen.

Monaco, France and Spa may no longer host annual races, even as Formula One’s calendar heads towards a gruelling 25 events
Agree with everything you say?. Reading the article it seems to have a lot to do with money. Saudi Arabia and Qatar are happy to pay £50M per race which i'm guessing the historical tracks are having trouble matching.
Yeah I get that. Still, with all these additional races now I hate to see the historical classics dropping out. I assume they're making a lot more from the greatly extended calendar. In the end, I'd just like to say "Don't touch my Spa!"
