On the other hand, Hamilton drives, instagrams, social justice warriors, is developing a clothing line, is dating 15 celebrities, etc...his focus is on a million things at once. One has a singular focus, the other is pursuing 15 careers. Basically it's the car that allows him to do that.

I thought it was a fair point.
I suggest you ask your wife to read my signature then look at the 2009 season of F1. Verstappen is a pretender. Look at his record in the wet. It's damning.

Lecrunch loves using a double sided sword to further himself, in other words BS city from him.He would have crucified Seb given half a chance and laughed himself to bed thinking about it.

Bottas may have said that then but AFTER he said that Wolf sure arranged things in such a way to keep things 'fair'...for Hammy.

Great vid of Max and Checo having fun there at MK.
I must say the complex is much bigger than I imagined and naturally driving the Senna inspired NSX's was the highlight of the day (next to the 16B's of course

Mercedes will get the McLaren diffuser for sure . But how it will work on the W12 remains a mystery .

The diffuser may work okay on the McLaren but will have to be 'key fitted' to work on the Merc with different floor and rear bodywork/wing..or they'll just throw a coin and hope for the best,
RB's aero designer Newey seems to be quietly confident that the 16B is covered from all angles.

The 21' HONDA PU is better and more powerful than the '20 Mercs PU .
Of course Mercedes didn't showed all their cards ..*YET

But I heard the RB16B ran on 92 % of the full potential and there's still room for improvements for round 1 in Bahrain .

I'm 100% sure , Sir7ewis has to work harder to win a race in the new season ...
And MAX can't wait to beat his A$$*

Suspense is guaranteed !!!

So you’re definitively saying RBR has the better engine and car?

What happens when Max loses? Gonna blame it on Merc sandbagging? Black magic? A ghost?

Well mate , we'll see that next weekend ...If Merc wasn't playing games !
BUT !!!
Don't think that Sir7ewis was driving for fun in his gravel machine ..

Red Bull and MAX set already the mark last year in Abu Dhabi .That's what we witnessed last weekend during the winter test .

What happens when Max loses ?
Well this means that someone else car and driver is faster .

The picture below is "44" and a memory refreshment from last weekend...
Note : It isn't the car mate . It's all about the driver !

The pocket Japanese Yuki Tsunoda he understandably had some trouble reaching for the throttle and the brake pedal in his Alpha Tauri AT02.

So..He said : “I am having a very special pedal kit !
