Go back and watch. Watch the distance to Sainz. He was well in DRS, .5, zone while Hamilton wanted Leclarc to lift for him. So 2 laps of Sainz still in DRS and Leclarc’s tires improving while Hamilton only had 4-5 good laps left on his tires. Hamiltons tires were shot to the point that Sainz was almost passing him at the finish. Sainz wasn’t out of the race but Hamilton was more worried about taking a shot that he didn’t think about the team, Leclarc, possibly being passed by Sainz.
Correct…it’s just a visual for example of how he acts though. And his on track performance the last few years? The fan club just keeps hanging on though. He was whining the whole time verstapen was dominating and he just has to be center of attention so he didn’t want to wait for Mercedes to get the car right. He asked for the FIA to step in and slow them down. Now a rookie and his previous second are a minute ahead? He is whining, rightly so now that Ferrari is screwing him…but he is whining. He made the choice that shocked his long time friend Toto now live with it. Did he think Ferrari was going to change instantly when he showed up??? Did he not see Ferrari screwing Sainz and Leclarc repeatedly???
AGAIN…I think he was an incredible driver but people are so enthralled with him that they are blind to everything else. Go ahead, downvote away.
