Cool down room, George and Kimi complaining to Lewis about their Hard tyre warm up and Lewis giggles in his reply .. "look where you guys finished, that's how quick you are" His laugh kills me 😂

No Ferrari engine deficit, no blundering team strategy, no Santi vague radio messages. I'm going to enjoy my Sunday. Peace out

But @OllieHarden told me Hamilton isn't a good leader not capable of leading a team? How could the team principal of Mercedes know more than Ollie? Hmh?
❤️ Toto Wolff says Lewis Hamilton taught him one of his most valuable lessons in leadership. “He taught me that if you realize that you have taken the wrong decisions or maybe that you have acted in the wrong way, change.” Wolff says Hamilton’s constant pursuit of improvement made him realize that even leaders are never the finished product. “If you’re actively seeking to change, you will change.” A powerful lesson from Lewis. ❤️

Next article challenge mate, try and genuinely write something nice about Lewis that reflects his success. If not, honestly? I'll write it for you 📝

None of the official Sky accounts have posted the missing VSC footage. The official F1 account hasn't posted the missing VSC footage. None of the top X accounts have it either.. But a random bot account? Nah..I'll need an official link to believe that shit.

The simple minded will blame Lewis but honestly, I've been waiting for this, because we can now start to ask why he's starting making the decisions himself. If it leads to staff changes behind the scenes, then that's exactly what he wants. The rot started earlier in the season

Fans wheeling this line out is getting boring when you know Lewis is stuck behind and holding back 🤦🏻‍♂️
It took two laps and then he was, once again, lapping faster than Lewis.

Your driver was on the verg of retiring this season because his car was slow, by his own admittance! He wouldn't last 2 minutes at Ferrari. LOL
I think Verstappen could fix Ferrari, if he wanted.

Point 2 - Why "assume" the medium tyre would have the pace of the Soft tyre when the data proves the Medium was just plain slower? Ferrari failed to use both cars to Leclercs advantage in pressuring Verstappen with strategy, knowing full well Lewis was 2 stopping. Point missed.
So, no one seems to be looking at a few key facts on the table here for some reason, 1. Lewis was on a 10 lap old soft, Charles was on fresh mediums... that's a massive differential 2. Let's assume Leclerc lets Lewis through, that's a couple seconds lost(dropping your pace, going off line)...then after a couple of lap, Leclerc is now faster than Lewis because he's got much fresher tires, then Lewis is blocking him...how does any of this help? 3. Another factor btw, the McLaren duo hadn't pitted and in case a safety car came out, they would have jumped the Ferrari duo...you can't spend time doing this fuckery Except The Race, I've not seen many pick this up, ....which is weird

You know what Ollie, I read your article and honestly.. it smacks of back handed compliments towards Lewis and his achievements with Mercedes and team building abilities you have no idea about or had access to. Tell me why Ferrari hired Lewis and have implemented changes instead
"Just because Hamilton is an enormously skilled driver, it does not automatically make him an effective team builder. "Ferrari does not have all the answers, but neither does he." ✍️ @OllieHarden

The commentary from @5liveSport was top notch listening to the race on the way home on Sunday. Props to @alicepowell who called it spot on live too. Well worth a listen if you can't watch the TV.
Should Ferrari have had both cars on the podium at the #SingaporeGP 🤔 @alicepowell has her say! 🗣️ Listen to the F1: Chequered Flag podcast on BBC Sounds, watch on iPlayer & Youtube 📲 youtube.com/watch?v=kjGAKOm7… #F1 #Ferrari #LewisHamilton #CharlesLeclerc

I see plenty of these "youtube" accounts who are clearly dodging this key question that started the Ferrari strategy domino effect. Easy to blame Lewis for everything though, right?

🎙️ 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘆: “It’s such a mess at Ferrari.” 🎙️ 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁: “Lewis [was] trying to understand what the pace was like for the front runners at the end of their soft stint.” 🎙️ 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁: “Ferrari had absolutely no idea what he was asking for and gave him the wrong information.” 🎙️ 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝘁: “They need five, ten minutes to translate. There’s no vibes there at all between the two of them.” 🎙️ 𝗧𝗼𝗺𝗺𝘆: “GP and Max managed to communicate better when Max’s radio wasn’t working than Ferrari and Lewis Hamilton.”

Is Lewis not part of the team now??
🚨 | Fred Vasseur: “We were running second and third on track, and what happened was very clear.” “We called both cars into the pits: ‘Guys, come in under the VSC,’ and one of my drivers said, ‘No, I’d rather stay on track,’ and missed the pit entry.” “Don’t blame the team.”

If its intentional from Lewis, then fair fucking play to him. A response that falls bang in line with Ferrari's refusal to execute the strategy FERRARI GAVE HIM! ..Lewis probably regretted it when the flag fell but a point well made.
Quand Hamilton s’excuse ce n’est jamais sous la contrainte et il le fait dès le passage de la ligne Le second train de pneus n’est sûrement pas pour la safety car lors de l’arrêt de Leclerc Je ne connais pas une écurie au monde qui choisit de faire perdre un de ses pilotes

It may transpire that the call was made and then ignored. That's fine, then we can get onto the question of "why" Listening to his engineers feedback through out the race makes it clear why. Hes not good enough.

Remember those reports about Hamilton wanting trackside operation staff changes? Can you blame him if they were true?

Could you imagine Red Bull telling Max to stay behind his teammate when on a faster tyre/different strategy? My head is hot

Agreeing with Dr Obbs.. For the first time ever probably.
Hamilton wants to use his tyres while they are still good for performance. Ferrari asks him to manage more and hold behind the slower medium in front.. This team is not real man.. Hamilton has to be so so so frustrated. 😩
