I agree my friend , but influence and politics was involved in the whole situation ..
Let us not forget HAM had always the necessary help , deals and information just on time ...
Coincidence ?

I don't think so . You know what I mean ...
For example from Lauda. Lauda knew what would come from the German Mercedes side and that Mercedes would be the right move in the coming seasons .
Lauda knew really well that Mercedes would be the ultimate advantage, regarding the Hybrid era in F1.
And that's what we saw in the last F1 Championships : "The Mercedes dominance"
"The Mercedes spaceship" in warp-speed !

Let's call it the boring era , as we know why...
In every single race : 2 silver (now black) cars running in the front, while the rest wasn't in sight .

Let's be grateful , this season It's time for a change in the front ...
Of course HAM is still there , with a lot of luck on his side ! But MAX is there as well . And this season , he'll be there for the first time with equal machinery made by HONDA !
Can't wait for more from this dog fight . As the rest of the world also thinks...

The move from McL to Merc via Merc non-exec Lauda shows many things that go beyond the realms of 'lucky' for hammy.

However it's denied by hammy fans Merc had a huge advantage going into the hybrid era in '14 after FIA was pressured by Merc on grounds of 'being green' with snowflake governments pushing for lower emissions.
For sure the other teams were informed it may happen couple years or so beforehand but there is proof that Merc were working on a hybrid at the time Kimi won the DC for Ferrari.

This just gets funnier and funnier.

HAM: 7 Championships. 96 Race wins. 99 Pole Positions. 54 Fastest Laps.
VER: 0 Championships. 11 Race wins. 4 Pole Positions. 11 Fastest Laps.

HAM: 14 seasons raced. 12 Championship battles. 7 Championships won.
VER: 6 seasons raced. 0 Championship battles. 0 Championships won.

HAM: 3 WDC team mates.
VER: 0 WDC team mates.

HAM: Consistent results over 14 seasons.
VER: The most hyped driver in the history of Formula One.

HAM: Fans calm and relaxed because he is always there.
VER: Fans shrill, bombastic and grasping at straws to keep the hype-train going. Completely ignoring reality to back their driver.

I believe this about sums up this thread and the life of a typical VER fan.

At least those fans aren't trying to force you to believe their 0 time DWC championship holder is a better driver than the 7 time world champ. Because logic.

I doubt this user can justify that statement. He throws out veiled insults constantly.

They are just nicknames don't be so sensitive. I even have unflattering names for people in my team I don't like or respect. If you see that as a flawed personality trait no one is perfect.

As far as Hamilton goes I've never insulted his driving skill! As far as my dislike I'm not going to hash that up again. I've posted perfectly legitimate reasons in the past. I'm also not a VER fan or detractor unless he moves to Ferrari which isn't going to happen.
