In the end, people will have to watch the FE for it to be successful. Doesn't matter what manufactures back it.
They are hanging their hat on "technology and environment" and hoping for success. As a racing consumer, I like technology but I need loud and exciting, too.

I quite like FE, it's constantly evolving and much more forward looking. I'm just not a fan of the featureless, forgettable city tracks.
I'm sure they're working towards the tech to enable sprints races on bigger GP tracks, then life will get really interesting.

As for F1, I think Ferrari has had an epiphany with LEC, be interesting to see what Merc do in next year or so with BOT as he won't be around for ever.

BOT will outlast Hamilton in the MB.

What's the thinking? HAM will get bored and go off to try and do the triple?
Or his ego will consume him from the feet up leaving a walking Kanye clone mumbling nonsense about his genre defining tunes/ design fυck awful clothes....

Here is another like for the latter of that statement.
Kanye was once a very well respected artist and now I believe everyone just thinks he's gone off the deep end...I have at least.
I wouldn't be surprised to see the same thing happen to HAM.
There is no doubt he is a good driver. I just can't get over his off the track shenanigans...

No worse then Micheal and not even on the same planet as James Hunt.

Lewis is doing nothing wrong. He engages with fans via social media hence regular media covers him, you know the current WDC and all with how many previous? Passing Senna’s and Micheals records also media worthy... plus F1 is playing him kimi Vettel and max up to create buzz to get more people to watch.

What shinanagins has he got up to except the hooning charge what 8? Years ago in Australia?


Yeah Kanye and Rodman went off the rails spectacularly. His music was good and Dennis was the best defensive player of his generation if not ever. I don’t see Lewis doing the same.

It's just my opinion, not saying anyone needs to agree with me.
I suppose I just prefer a more low-key driver.
Somewhere along the line, I decided I didn't like him...can't remember why or when but I suppose from then on I just go out of my way to find things that annoy me about him lol.
He's obviously a fantastic driver there is no doubt about it. But something about him just rubs me the wrong way.
I feel like he is always comparing himself to other great drivers when he should just cool it and let other people make the comparisons if they feel he deserves it.
The way he gets on social media and talks shit for some reason or another and then deletes it...
I don't know...it's not like a really keep track of why I don't like him.
But I'll happen to see something and just think to myself "yup, still don't like him" and then move on hah.

I'm not his biggest fan but Lewis is killing it, why the hell would he go anywhere? He could be the winningest driver if he keeps it up, who is going to challenge him?

As of right now seemingly no one since Vettel can't quit making mistakes.

Vettel and his team....I can't believe how many errors they have made this season.

So true. I thought Mercedes made stupid strategy calls but Ferrari makes just as many. For RB, it doesn't matter since they're uncompetitive in a lot of races. They throw caution to the wind and do the hyper aggressive high risk high reward strategy since they have nothing to lose.

And I feel like I can see how Singapore will play out already if it rains.
Hamilton gets pole Vettel will be somewhere close behind.
Vettel gets a little too impatient too quick on the first lap or so of the race, crashes out.

I hate to say it but even if Ferrari was on pole you would just wait for them to screw something up mid-race while Hamilton was there to pounce. I would agree neither team has run a perfect season but it just seems like Mercedes has been able to really minimize the damage where as Ferrari has thrown away what looked to be "easy" wins.

Hammy does also have the knack of being in the right place at the right time.
I'm not saying it's all luck, but he has definitely been lucky on a few occasions this season.
But like I said, he had to be in the right place at the right time to begin with....

Has everyone woken up yet from Singapore?

PER days could be numbered now.
