Lewis' issue is he's known as being difficult to work with sponsors and borderline toxic and he's with the only team on the grid that doesn't really care about sponsors.


Silverstone Marshals would say he's actually toxic, was incredibly rude to a group of them before the race, and then when the cameras went off on the crowd surfing thing he had another set of petulance at them. Crowd surfing was all good and cool on TV but not so awesome if you have people crushed up against metal fencing, UK has seen that movie before. If Lewis's car crashes at silverstone next year don't be surprised if it takes them a long time to find the fire extinguisher and oh deary me It's failed.

:\ Oh dear, It's that annoying thing reddit does where they scream for sources on real life anecdotes. I'm not sure what you want me to do? Get a sworn affidavit and dox myself? I grew up and live in the UK's F1 team factory and racetrack/karting land not some remote Arizona backwater. One of my real friends is a marshal so I get to hear mostly bitching about the FIA not appreciating the job they do, and how the first year they did the Chinese GP with KERS/ERS the Chinese didn't have the correct rubber gloves so bought a load of black washing up gloves and hoped no one noticed.

K. so I tell you of a place where you can easily find this easily verifiable information* for yourselves and it's something to get panties in a twist over? Petulant. Childs.

*also flags in-jokes and race schedules and the like, which is the real reason to check it out because it's kind of nice to know what cars/bikes will be out on what track and if there are any good karting events on in advance.

Hilariously typical behaviour from pouty Lewis.

Khablam posted:

He did "a few runs" which almost makes it worse that he bothered to show up, get in his gear and do a few laps, and then decide "gently caress this, I'm not doing it". That or he might have actually been legitimately sick... but no, he wasn't.

I'd like to see Max and Ricciardo have a good battle near the front next year, although I definitely don't think Max has a WDC in him yet. I'd put my money on Lewis for 2017 unless something changes drastically (please let's have that happen).

he was probably really hungover. I tried go-kartign on a massive hangover this year, ended up having to slow down and crack the visor up to get some fresh air, felt like I was going to throw up.

would imagine it's a little worse on the stomach in an F1 car

Lewis is still shook after such an embarrassing defeat, he's low energy and couldn't complete the test, sad.

I'd take not winning a single race all season long if it means I got the WDC at the end.
