He was fined. Euros 10K, half being suspended if he is a good boy in future.

Apparently cussing on team radio again at Vegas?

There have only been two races on this circuit and last year they were 7th and 8th you gormless twat.

My comment was from Lewis's own words post race, you clown.

And by trying to pass off his words as your own, you demonstrate your complete lack of knowledge of the sport and look an ever bigger twat.

Nice try, is there any way you could possibly make a bigger cvnt of yourself?

Just give him enough drink, I'm sure he can.

Sprint Race in Qatar at 21:00, Quali at 01:00 tomorrow and the race at 23:00, all Thai times.

Nice of Lando to give Oscar the win, but the drivers seriously look like they couldn't give a flying fuck.

Mad Max may get a penalty for impeding Russell on a hot lap.


Hahaha joking of course, like they'd do that.

Lewis Hamilton has issued a damning verdict on his own performances in Formula 1 right now, saying "I'm definitely not fast anymore."

The seven-time world champion endured another difficult qualifying session in Qatar on Friday, as he ended up seventh on the grid for the sprint race.

This was five places behind his team-mate George Russell, who was 0.399 seconds faster as he secured a spot on the front row alongside pole position man Lando Norris.

After a season where Hamilton has struggled to get on top of his car in qualifying, having beaten Russell just six times versus 22 in all competitive sessions so far (5-17 excluding sprints), F1's pole position record holder has suggested that he may not be as good as he once was.

Asked whether the issue was of Hamilton's own making, he said: "Who knows? I'm definitely not fast anymore."

Hamilton was clear that the relative lack of pace compared to Russell in Qatar was the result of him not performing, rather than it being any problem with his car.

"Same as every other qualifying, not that great," he said. "I'm just slow and same every weekend. So yeah, car felt relatively decent. No, no issues, and not really much more to say."

While Hamilton has often found himself better in relative terms in race pace compared to qualifying, he says that he is still leaving himself with too much to do by starting races so far back.

"The long run didn't feel too bad, but when you're always back where I am, it makes it very hard to be competing for - well almost impossible pretty much - to be competing for wins from there. But that's the sprint. I'll do what I can tomorrow."

Asked if the reset for qualifying on Saturday night would offer him a chance to do better, Hamilton said: "Not particularly, no. I mean, the positive is that the car is fast, and George should be out to shoot for pole tomorrow."

Gosh, a 39 year old isn't as fast as he used to be.

If snubby knew the first thing about Formula 1 this would not be a surprise to him.

Mad Max may get a penalty for impeding Russell on a hot lap.

I didn't stay awake to watch it. The reports say neither driver was on a hot lap, but Max was driving too slowly on the racing line and that forced George into the gravel so that his tyres weren't where he wanted them at the start of his last lap. So only a single place grid penalty was handed to Max.

After a cracking couple of races recently the Qatar sprint was boring. I reckon I'll be tucked up in bed well before tonight's race.

Oh, look along comes the moronic flag waving moron. No bigger clown regarding F1 than you dipshit.

Haven't you got some fries to check on, burger boy?

"The penalty for such an offence would usually be a three-place grid penalty".

I'm surprised they even gave him one.

It's barely worth the points, which is why I don't think they are that enthused.

With the constructors still up for grabs, tonight is a big one. It's advantage McLaren at the moment. Anything to piss off whinger spice.

Whinger Spice is all but saying Checo is about to get the boot.

[harrybarracuda]

Well I'm guessing Sir Lewis is none too pleased with KMag after that.

[harrybarracuda]

McLaren front row. Whinger Spice will be gutted.

[harrybarracuda]

Well that's an interesting start. Mad Max took out Piastri who's now 19th, and Perez is out, probably for good.

Sir Lewis up to 12th, Pepe even better up to 8th.

It's a great race so far!

[harrybarracuda]

Mad Max gets a 10s penalty for hitting Piastri, who then gets a 10s penalty for hitting Colapinto.

It's all kicking off.

But as long as Lando wins, the Constructors is McLarens's.
