As a matter of interest why are there no women in F1. As it's just about driving with no reversing or parking involved you'd think they should be able to compete ok

There is an all women formula racing set up
I suppose their pits have got lots of scatter cushions, matching curtains and a scented candle or two
Careful now

Hamilton boycotts the awards ceremony. Not so gracious after all.

Hamilton was Punked. He was as graceful on the day when you consider what the circumstances.

You'd hardly expect him to deal with the charade again a couple of days later?

To be honest, I'd say not many on here would have went either. Would you? Really?

I certainly wouldn't.

I certainly wouldn't.
If you judged a season on one incident, maybe, but it certainly all evened out over the course of the season (as mentioned Hamilton and Bottas took out Verstappen in separate races when Max had a 30+ point lead. Verstappen did take Hamilton out in a later race, but unlike the other incidents neither could continue).

But my point was the fake reaction by Hamilton after the race, pretending to be humble and accepting just for PR. I would not expect him to lose graciously and he didnt lose graciously.

Delighted for Max though. Fully deserved champion over the course of the season and delighted for Lewis to have to suck it up for once.

It was a complete lose lose situation for Hamilton. If he'd come out all guns blazing after the race, him being the sore loser would be the story. He had to come out and be humble etc.

You can be sure he hardly meant a word of it and I'd say he's seething that Mercedes haven't taken it to the top level, but for his own PR I don't think there was anything else he could have done to improve things.

Show me a bad loser and I'll also show you a loser.
