BTW, don’t know if this is being mentioned where you guys are? There are rumblings around the local news that of our GP being at least postponed due to some recent Covid spikes.
That's a positive mate . I heard it already last week ...Damn virus !

Well my friend , I hear it pretty much everywhere ...
Fact is ....Why you think HAM said already in November : "I'm NOT sure I'll be there in '21 ?
By this he tried to put Daimler under pressure ...And that ? That was NOT with toilet paper !
Let's be honest .Actually It's really foolish from his side. He already swims in a sea of money .

Financial speculation in COVID times , won't work my friend ...

EDIT : Just saw that one of HAM's demands is : A AMG Project One car .
That's 2.72 million on top of the requested 50 million ...

I didn't know that, a project car.. he really thinks he's riding the crest of a wave that will go on and on and thinking he's untouchable by putting the ball in D's court will cause a rift.

HAM's third demand ....

More controversially, though. HAM also wants a 10% share of Mercedes prize money should the side lift an eighth-straight title. Based on the 2020 pot, this would amount to a £13 million windfall for Hamilton.

Ohhhh....Well ! He's not cheap !

Sir Lewis isn't even in the top 10 of athletes in earnings. Soccer, Basketball, Football, Tennis, etc ALL have higher paid athletes. His request for $50 million is a great big nothing burger.

Here is the bio from: https://worldnewsera...hletes-of-2020/

"Hamilton raised the bar yet again in 2020, winning his fourth consecutive Formula 1 title and seventh overall, tying the all-time record. He won 11 of 17 races during the shortened season, tying a personal best and earning $40 million from the final year of his contract with Mercedes-Benz. Hamilton is also the most marketable racer in the world, earning over $12 million via endorsements with Bose, Tommy Hilfiger, Puma, Sony, Monster Energy, and Vodafone, among others. Headed into 2021, he’ll be renewing his primary sponsorship with Mercedes-Benz."

I emboldened the statement. And for comparison, here is Roger Federer. Sir Lewis didn't even earn half of what Federer pocketed yet I don't hear any outcry about his earnings.

"Due to lack of opportunity, blended with a knee injury, 2020 marked only the second year that Federer failed to notch a win on the court. But it did not hinder him from becoming the first tennis player ever to finish as the highest-earning athlete in the world. The 39-year-old took home over $106 million in 2020, much of which came from his robust portfolio of endorsements. Federer earns between $3 and $30 million per corporate partnership, headlined by a 10-year, $300 million pact with apparel brand Uniqlo. He also counts Rolex, Barilla, and Mercedes-Benz among brands he backs."

^ The difference is that HAM can be easily replaced and it perhaps worked against him when he missed a race through sickness and an eager Russell was brought in demonstrating the advantage of the car.

Indeed my friend . I check my Corona Worldometer daily/twice => https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/#countries
The UK had "today" 60,916 new COVID cases ...

And I really hate the numbers in red !

The WHO said : Even with the vaccines , it will not disappear .
And as for the latest mutations , the vaccines won't work ...
It's a disaster ...It's terrible !

Sure. Anomalistic track. Only 4 turns and 2 braking zones. And who's settings did he drive with? He tried with his own settings, unsuccessfully when the team asked him use Sir Lewis's settings.

We know what Mercedes is like without Sir Lewis. Ferrari have WDCs and WCCs in 2017 and 2018 with VET and RBR with Max having 2020.
