Ask Abbie Eaton about how crashing down like that can hurt your back.

I read somewhere that the medical light actually went off on Hamilton's car, such was the force. That's a mandatory check if that's the case.

Ofcourse it can hurt someone, its not about that. Its, in my opinion, about the theatrics that ensue. Everyone knows Hamilton is okay and yet all this highly dramatized wording comes out. Which isnt a first and wont be a last time.

Okay, in that case I think I'll have to take two chicken.

Sorry couldn't resist. :blush: No harm meant, here's the reference, which hopefully might excuse me somewhat.

If you fail to make an impression during the Grand Prix itself, what can you say or do to still make this about yourself? Theatrics arent anything new for Hamilton and Mercedes. And my negative opinion on this has formed, over time, because this is happening too much. This is another example and people are still asking me why I have this negative attitude towards Hamilton and Mercedes...

Who cares if a driver is gauche or accomplished at public speaking? It has nothing whatever to do with motor racing. These guys are there for their driving skills, not as some kind of trashy reality TV stars. Any negative opinion of the personalities of the great drivers we have on the current grid just means you are watching the wrong thing.

Yeah, it's a bit a "pull the other one" sort of comment as Lewis refused the medical check. But reactions like yourself and the person who liked your post..... let's just say that it's not just a driver or drivers that have a very long history of theatrics.

Would you tell actor, rapper, theater producer, entrepreneur and socialite Hamilton that? Because I agree with you that it should be about racing.

As said, I grew tired on this over the years. Its not that it is the first time. No matter how you might think about my post. And seemingly I have hit the nail on the head according to some as well. So I do not stand alone in this.

Yep a 45g vertical load so not surprised they insisted on medical check even if Lewis was reluctant.

Maybe he should have raced with his Teletubby suit. That one looks as if nothing can harm you wearing it.

Dunno, I think if you are voluntarily and publicly wearing something like that, you must have some, ummm, let's say, problem :cool: or lost a serious bet.

Yeah, I mean, no idea really. It clearly expresses something I don't understand, but that's okay.

Onboard with Alex Albon on lap 1. Brilliant helmet-cam footage.

He almost took both Verstappen (twice) and Leclerc out of the race in the first few laps.

I like how Max just didn’t want anything to do with Stroll there. Especially on the outside of turn 4 where Stroll predictably braked too late and sailed wide. It was an extremely poor showing from Lance. All over the shop.

And when Stroll himself got run out of room he complained, even though he should've seen that one coming from miles away.
