Lol yes what a brainiac move, hey let the guy whos going to win the championship through, deserving of the big bucks indeed.

Would be interesting to see if Lewis could be so generous.

I’m ready to order Bottas to let Hamilton through, everytime he’s in front, for half the price of Toto. Are you listening,  Mercedes ? That's your chance !

To his credit, Bottas said he doesn’t want to be “gifted” a win like that. But in his favor, Lewis always “switches off” once the title is secured. May not happen this year since the constructors still won’t be decided.. but still

^^^ This dude called it!!!

Yeah, I’d probably point him to how Rosberg finished 2015 once Hamilton secured the title and started 2016.

Quite imagine an engine blow up in Japan and maybe a grid penalty the next weekend putting him in the ‘carbon fibre zone’ at the start then suddenly people would be saying ‘Toto why didn’t you swap the cars in Sochi?’

Quite team orders are sometimes a neccesary evil in this team sport with a individual championship as well.

What does buckingham palace do with the profits from the gift shop?

I get all that but she is still called Duchess Doolittle or whatever because of her work ethic which is separate from waity Kate. My point is while she was waiting/dating Prince William that should have been the time to focus on her life. Personally, I don’t think having your entire life revolving around one person or…

I mean... that’s 2 patronages. The queen has over 600. Kate is pretty roundly criticized in the UK for being lazy. We just don’t hear about it much over here because the immediate past editor and current weekend editor of the Daily Mail were once on the Middletons’ payroll as PR.

Stop making excuses for Catherine. She really hasn’t done much as a Royal and even before she got married. It seems like Catherine never really had goals except to perhaps married into the family. Countess of Wessex (Sophie) has kids as well, and has done more engagements then Catherine. Sophie is married to Prince…

I didn't even notice his sweater 

come on, ron dennis left long ago, and rules changed a lot of times and they still failed to hit the key..

Right? She’s damned if she does and damned if she doesn’t. That last bit about Kate was 100% unnecessary and 100% snark.

Yeah god forbid someone criticize the cosseted rich lady who seems to not do much for anyone.

“Kate could maybe step it up.”

that only says how wasted is alonso potential...

In other Alonso/Honda news, Honda is apparently salty enough over three years of Alonso shitting on them that they’re pretty much refusing to supply him with a power unit for Indy: https://www.motorsport.com/indycar/news/why-alonsos-potential-indycar-move-has-reached-stalemate-/3177161/

Yes and no. Honda’s power unit was certainly fragile and underpowered, but at the expense of McLaren dictating how the unit needed to fit within their chassis. Though still a learning curve for them, had McLaren yeilded to Hondas request for more room, things may have been a little different. We’ve seen a much more rel…
