You have a prime example with the guy called Lewis something who only deserve half of the victories and titles he has won during the course of his very lucky career.

Lets hope Lewis is lucky again this weekend.

I hope that Ferrari and Vettel win this weekend so I'll be the one with the last laugh...

Gasly confirmed at Red Bull

Will be interesting to see how he goes with Max as a benchmark

Schumacher is the biggest stat padder though. Hamilton has definitely cashed in on driving dominant cars. Al least he can point to the calibre of team mates he's had for most of his career, unlike Schuey.

The new Racing Point Force India team has been granted an official entry at Spa and for the remainder of the season. As a consequence, the old Force India entry will lose all of their 2018 points, due to inability to complete the season. But the drivers will keep their 2018 points.

What a great lucky pole position for Lewis. Good luck for Sunday to converting it to the win.

Thanks to your driver and Mercedes, Formula 1 is probably the most boring sport on earth, but clearly your lack of impartiality prevent you from seeing the obvious.

It is not up to Mercedes and Lewis to dumb down their performance. The other drivers and teams need to up theirs.

It's a funny thing, but the best drivers usually end up spending a lot of their career in the best car- Fangio always had a knack of moving to whoever had the fastest car just at the right time....

I've been watching Hamilton since he graduated from karting to Formula Renault in 2001/2- IIRC I was trackside for something like his second or third ever car race, and he's always been seriously bloody quick. Yes, there's no denying he can be a monumental arse at times, but in a car, he's as good as anyone I've ever seen in the 30-odd years I've been spectating.
