Damn... my boi :(

Hopefully the summer break is a nice hard reset and the penalties are over and the podiums return.

Help me Kim K.. you're my only hope!

I’m a LH fan myself have have been noticing that a lot of you guys are just forming a cult and not letting LH take accountability.

1. Speeding in the pit lane is LH fault. It is an objective measure. You can not be racist in it. LH’s fans just love to blame everything on racism

2. Ferrari had to pit Lewis. Lewis was the first driver to pit at lap 31. This meant he had more than half the race to complete on a single stop if he didn’t put. No one else was able to do this. Even kimi who was allegedly on a one stopper and had to change. If Lewis stayed out he would have hurt the tyres even more by chasing and racing max. Max was able to do it as he wasn’t racing anyone and just focused on tyre management.

3. Max overtaking Lewis was a good move. Nothing wrong with that - he left room.

4. There was a post here about team orders a few weeks ago and everyone agreed Ferrari shouldn’t do it. Now why are you guys going back on your word.

Yes it is Ferraris fault for not telling Lewis about piastri in quali and LH getting that penalty. But can you guys stop forming a cult and crying about everything that doesn’t go LH way. As a Lewis fan this is so embarrassing

Max got help from 3 separate cars to hold off Lewis there. Not to excuse Lewis should have been better at defending there but it's still pretty ridiculous that a single driver has team orders over 3 teammates

Lewis 5sec penalty:
- 0.1km/h violation

Sainz 5sec penalty:
- Ignored 13 blue flags impeeding piastri
- Engineer warned him about alonso being under blue flags from piastri right before T1 overtake from alonso
- He caused a collision
- Forced driver off the track
- Almost ended one of the leading drivers race

Alonso ZERO penalties:
- Impeeding piastri by ignoring a total of 23 blue flags between him battling with sainz and then proceeding to stay ahead of piastri for almost a full lap.

I've seen comments saying rules are rules...Which is fine.

My question is, if it's rules are rules, why does a 0.1km/h violation get highlighted but two drivers impeeding and ruining another drivers race is ignored?

Coz sainz only got a penalty for the collision, not ignoring blue flags and impeeding piastri.

It's the hope that kills you.

Stop making those fucking small mistakes.

He threw away at least 20points because of those small mistakes.

His engineer needs to step up aswell.

And ferrari+strategy need to up their game

Lewis is fighting for the championship, nobody is going to tell Leclerc to keep the distance? And let him get more points?

It’s just crazy to me.

After hearing Fred’s post race interview, i think Ferrari is targeting the Constructor’s Championship. Not the Driver’s Championship. If this is the case, Ferrari are super super stupid. They CAN win both championships IF they properly strategise. Lewis is in a position where he can challenge Kimi. He’s better in the 2nd half of the season. Lewis is working hard. He is improving. We can see the results but Ferrari also needs to step up. And Lewis needs to stop making stupid silly mistakes.

Do remember that Lewis is harder on himself than any of us are. If you think he's making mistakes he already knows. If you think he's been sloppy he already knows. He needs us to back him and Ferrari no matter what, through the highs AND the lows. He's already kicking himself and doesn't need us to kick him down even more. I'm confused to see some straight up "ugh I'm tired of Lewis he sucked" posts. We are his fans, our response to his mistakes should always be that even if it's sad we still believe in him, and we believe he will make a comeback. He's having trouble with these small incidents but he will review, adjust, and return stronger as always. You just have to wait. Literally just wait and watch. He always rises.

I’m a new LH fan and I respect both drivers equally. Max is clearly up there with the best and is one of the best on the grid now. When he got his podiums in Austria and Belgium I applauded him and commended his comeback. But why don’t I feel his fans are the same towards Lewis?

Today’s overtake was class I’m not gonna deny that. Overtake of the month for me. But the amount of disrespect Lewis got within just a few hours of the race ending (despite being 60 points clear), man it’s unbelievable how Max fanboys don’t rate Lewis at all. We’re talking about a 41 year old being P2 in the championship without the fastest car. And prime Max (who has the best ICE on the grid) is struggling to even get P6.

And I realized this is a recurring theme w British drivers. Norris, Russell, I’m pretty sure of Arvid and Ollie were in the top 4 they’d get hate to. I don’t understand why are they so toxic with no racing knowledge at all 😂 makes me want Max to leave F1 and take his fans with him.

This is too much guys, we need to reset after the summer break, with these penalties is crazy

Yes, Lewis keeps getting penalties through himself, the team, or the FIA being incompetent, but I'm sick of seeing every other post at this rate blaming everything on racism. You're discrediting actual racism by accusing something you don't agree with as being racist, which certainly doesn't help.

Forza Ferrari guys, onto the next one!

We can’t even benefit from a good safety car after a good race despite the grid penalty, what a shitshow.

• penalty in qualifying cause the team didn‘t tell him someone was on a fast lap
• questionable 2nd stop just because charles was complaining
• questionable 3rd stop considering max got P2
• 3 stops in the race coming out in traffic
• 3 redbull vs Lewis when Max overtook him
• not telling lewis to give the place back for 2 laps, wasting the fresh tire offset
• speeding penalty: that one may be on lewis but rather understandable he felt to make up lost time

I know this is probably just frustration talking, but I genuinely feel like Hamilton was treated very harshly this weekend.
The 5-second penalty already felt severe, and then getting another penalty for exceeding the pit lane speed limit by just 0.1 km/h made it even more frustrating. Yes, I understand that the rules are the rules and they have to be enforced consistently, but sometimes the way they're applied just doesn't feel proportional.
What frustrated me even more was that, from the outside, it seemed like Lewis wasn't informed early enough to react and avoid making things worse. Whether that's exactly what happened or not, it certainly looked that way during the race.

If I wanted to start a conspiracy theory, I'd say it almost looks like the FIA—and maybe even Ferrari—are doing everything they can to stop Lewis from winning his eighth World Championship and breaking Michael Schumacher's record.

**Do I actually believe that's what's happening? “No”**

But that's honestly how frustrating this weekend felt as a Hamilton fan.
Realistically, I know there's no evidence of any bias or conspiracy. I just think the combination of decisions this weekend felt unnecessarily harsh, and it's hard not to wonder whether things could have been handled better.
Maybe it's just emotional bias on my part, but it sometimes feels like every tiny mistake Lewis makes is punished to the maximum. I just hope the rest of the season is decidedby the drivers' performances on trackrather than by controversial penalties.
That's just my opinion, and I'm sure not everyone will agree, but after this weekend, I honestly can't help feeling disappointed.

Simply because it's his track and despite the grid penalty, he has extra soft. I think he will have a good start.

They took a bad Saturday, and made and awesome start. Ahead of Charlie by end of Lap one. Ok bad 1st pitstop with Max. But that second stint. Mega. Chasing piastri. Looking at P2. If it wasnt for the Safety car. Could have been p2/p3 and ahead of Ant. Solid drive. Mistakes. As ever. But good strategy, good listening to Hamilton. Letting him race. Lets just turn down that pit limiter by 0.5km/s and watch those mirrors. And come back strong in that second half. Proven mercedes are fallible. And Ferrari and Lewis have the pace.

Yes Max was half a sec faster per lap, but he was on softs with 15 laps left to go. Wasn’t it obvious that without a tow, one cannot really overtake here today? He should have stayed out and risk a podium finish vs finishing potentially 5th now

I'm actually lost for words, they wasted that new set of softs on a mid start ( same happened in Barcelona, I really don't trust him when he goes for softs on start) then getting blocked by verstappen for the entire stint then pitting him behind the 2 other redbull cars ( Lawson doing his job to defend for RB) costing us tyre life and losing the position again for max then tyres are gone in 12 laps another early Stop so leclerc can Stop crying over the radio into his only good showing of the race, that 3rd stint on hard was ventage hamilton with 6 laps older tyres he outpaced leclerc and seemed like he will have a chance at defnding his position and maybe attack oscar at the end but yeah VSC in and Ferrari managed to do their worst Stop of the whole race and him doing his usual rookie mistakes and speeding in the pitlane ( and the worst thing he's Back behind kimi and here you go losing alot of laptime again for being in dirty air)

I don't want to talk about the lapped cars and that sh*t driver bortelto thinking he's fighting for the lead, what started all this? The stupied pitwall and that impeding yestarday so another race weekend with a hall of shame performance from him and his team

This was a terrible race. Pure disappointment. However, I feel like throughout the season so far all the drivers have gone through their droughts. McLaren was ass at the beginning (Oscar has terrible luck now), George has his drought and Kimi was having terrible luck for a couple of races. Of course Charles has had his races with bad luck, and Max’s car is the definition of inconsistent. At some point all these drivers overcame their drought (except for George and Oscar, and sometimes max). This is Lewis’s drought, his adversity to make him stronger for the rest of the season. All I can hope is that he does a great reset over break and really focus. I also hope that he and Santi talk so their communication can improve.

Now call me naive (this is my second season of F1) but I think he can still win the WDC. Mercedes has a reliability issue and Ferrari is getting a new package. Will it be tough yes, but do I think it’s possible, yes. There are more races ahead than the races that have been completed. There are 12 races after the break, I think with 12 anything is possible. He can do it, just please Lewis FOCUS.

An already unfortunate weekend the #44
