Lewis taking responsibility for the appalling strategy. After so many Ferrari cock-ups it's not surprising that he doesn't trust them. P6 is very frustrating, though. Easy win for Verstappen. And Kimi is on the precipice of the WDC. He could win it in Austin! #F1 #SingaporeGP

Brilliant pace from Lewis today. A VERY well deserved podium. A stunning recovery from Ferrari’s strategic mistake. Max drove very well to win it. P2 for Kimi and retirement for Woody leaves an 84 point gap in the WDC. It would take a disaster for Kimi not to win it from here… #F1 #BahrainGP

Well, what a dreadfully dull and boring race it was at the Madring. I don’t understand how you can design a brand new track with virtually zero overtaking opportunities and give it a 10 year contract. Ridiculous. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #F1 #SpanishGP

Lewis is right. He was brought to Ferrari not just for his speed and driving skills, but for his experience. He knows what it takes to win championships. His changes have already helped. If Ferrari don’t listen now, they’ll continue to fall short. #F1 www.the-race.com/formula-1/he...

the-race.com'Here there are no rules' - Hamilton calls Ferrari outLewis Hamilton has hit out at a lack of rules at Ferrari, after an Italian GP compromised by an early incident with team-mate Charles Leclerc

Norris wins it from Verstappen and Antonelli. Lewis P5 after the penalty with Leclerc P4. Ferrari 100% cost Lewis a podium, though. P2 or P3 was nailed on if he had stayed out under the VSC. Stupid, stupid, stupid. #F1 #HungarianGP

So frustrating to see Lewis starting P5 after such a strong quali. Still, the pace is definitely there this weekend, so I'm hoping for an attacking drive tomorrow. It ain't over until it's over! #F1 #HungarianGP

A really mature drive from Kimi to win at Spa. Another big jump in his championship lead, too. Woody was unfortunate to crash out in what should have been deemed a racing incident with Lewis. The stewards' decision making really needs looking at both for that and Charles' contact with Oscar. #F1

The cars are effectively deciding when and how much to deploy and harvest themselves. I’m not convinced that the behaviour of the new PUs doesn’t breach the “driving alone and unaided” rule, tbh. 🤷🏻‍♂️ #F1 www.motorsport.com/f1/news/why-...

motorsport.comWhy F1 drivers are being beaten by their own power unitsMcLaren team boss Andrea Stella is seeing striking parallels between Oscar Piastri and George Russell's struggles in Belgian Grand Prix qualifying, and suspects they are beyond their own control

Charles drove very well. Excellent win for him, but he got a bit of luck with Kimi's issues. A very lucky P2 for Woody! A 16th Silverstone podium for Lewis. What a record! Getting to the point where a P3 feels disappointing is amazing! Hopefully, no post-race stewards BS... #F1 #BritishGP

The finish, obviously, was a joke. FIA incompentence again. The correct handling of the finish under the regs, but incredibly poorly managed. Yet again, they've conspired to screw it up and leave fans feeling confused and unhappy. #F1 #BritishGP

Interesting race. Woody drove well to win but was under a bit of pressure at the end. Probably not quite as much as Max was from Kimi, though! Disappointing race for Ferrari. I struggled to understand the strategy for Lewis. P5 for him and only P8 for Charles despite starting P2 #F1 #AustrianGP

Pundits like Villeneuve have no credibility. Their views change with the wind. I guess they succeed in keeping their names in the headlines and generating the attention that they seem so desperate for. 🙄 #F1 www.motorsport.com/f1/news/jacq...

LEWIS HAMILTON WINS FOR FERRARI!!! OMG! What a race. What a driver! That's win number 106(7) for the #F1 GOAT! #BarcelonaGP

What a great #BarcelonaGP quali for Lewis. A first Ferrari front row start and so, so close to pole! I'm really hoping that he can compete for the win tomorrow. The Merc is clearly still the faster car, but with a good launch off the line and, hopefully, better tyre deg, there is a chance... 🤞🏻 #F1

Kimi really is on a roll! Five in a row is great and with Woody non-scoring (again!) he's well in control of the WDC. Lewis drove brilliantly, too. Two P2s in a row and now P2 in the championship! Brilliant to see him driving with such speed and confidence again. A bit of a crazy #MonacoGP! #F1

Imagine being stuck with this clown as FIA president ad infinitum. He's already weakened governance massively and this would probably be the final nail in the coffin. Ben Sulayem is nothing but an aspiring tin pot dictator. He has to go. #NoMoreBS #F1 www.bbc.co.uk/sport/formul...

Imo, the power from the ICE should make up a higher proportion of the overall power output. But, I can see why some don’t want to be disadvantaged by changes. Fundamentally, though, no-one should be pandering to Max. If he doesn’t like #F1, let him walk. www.the-race.com/formula-1/wh...

the-race.comWhy Audi is now key to Verstappen’s F1 futureMax Verstappen's threat to quit F1 in 2027 is serious - and F1's best route to avoid this appears to be a compromise with Audi

Kimi winning again was excellent. He’s so genuine, likeable and clearly fast! Yes, Woody was a bit unfortunate, but I can’t feel sorry for him. Hopefully, being 43 points behind in the championship will mean that he dials down the odious cocky smugness, but I wouldn’t bet on it. #F1 #CanadianGP

Brilliant to see Lewis taking P2 in Canada and passing Verstappen around the outside of T1 along the way. He’s been outstanding all weekend and was deservedly driver of the day. His best Grand Prix result for Ferrari. Hope he can maintain this form! #F1 #CanadianGP

Can you imagine the melt down if this big baby was on the other side of AD21? All of a sudden, I’m hoping they leave the PU regs alone for next year. There’s always GT3 if it’s all too tough for you, Max. 👍🏻

Horner is like a turd that won't flush. While a 12th team would be great, having him involved in it would not be! Thankfully, this would be likely to take quite some time. Hopefully, we're free of his toxic presence in #F1 for several years, at least! www.the-race.com/formula-1/ho...

Post race investigations to come. How Max gets away with just an investigation for crossing the pit exit line is beyond understanding, as is why the FIA can't make a decision on it during the race. #F1 #MiamiGP

Great job by Kimi. Three wins from pole in a row! Woody will not be happy about this. At all! McLaren has made a big step, but Ferrari will be disappointed with the result give their upgrades. The result wasn't helped by both cars getting damage, Lewis on lap 1 and Charles at the end. #F1 #MiamiGP

This is the right way to go, imo. A V8 with a hybrid element providing around 25-35% (my guess) of the overall power output sounds sensible, along with a big dial down of the complexity of what we have now. #F1 www.the-race.com/formula-1/f1...

the-race.comF1 will switch to V8s and ‘minimal’ electric power - Ben SulayemFormula 1 will abandon its current V6 hybrids in favour of a return to V8s with “minor electrification”, FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem has pledged

Easy win for Norris. Piastri makes it a McLaren 1, 2. Kimi will be fuming with the 5 second penalty that drops him to P6. Lewis will want to make some changes to that Ferrari. He really fell away in the closing stages. Not the most exciting #F1Sprint ever... #F1 #MiamiGP

Total nonsense from Wittich. Masi broke the rules at AD21 and directly reversed the legitimate outcome. It was not within his authority to do so. The FIA were right to admit it. Their mistake was not correcting the result. #F1 www.motorsport.com/f1/news/abu-...

motorsport.comNiels Wittich: Michael Masi a “scapegoat” who “didn’t do much wrong” at Abu Dhabi 2021Erstwhile F1 race director Niels Wittich has defended his predecessor’s officiating in the 2021 title decider

Lewis is a true sportsman. After being cheated out of his 8th WDC by the FIA and the rule breaking race director at AD21 he behaved in an exemplary manner. Imagine if roles had been reversed... Meltdown city. #F1 www.motorsport.com/f1/news/lewi...

Very interesting. Particularly for those who doubted what Lewis said post-race. Basically, Lewis was left powerless (pun intended!) to race effectively. He did well to hold on for as long as he did. #F1 (Be sure to read both posts in the thread)

Hamilton was right: he had NO POWER to defend from LEC and RUS! 🪫 LEC reached 317 km/h without slipstream or overtake mode, HAM just 307 (Lap 42) And that's nothing: LEC reached 330 when in HAM's slipstream, but the latter didn't exceed 306 when the roles inverted! (Lap 43, and RUS overtook him)
