One to watch - if true

This one is bonkers, its Trumpism in its finest form!! President of the FIA wants to make it so the only people that can oversee any ethics based complaint are the FIA President and President of the FIA Senate. Only one person he (Ben Sulayem) needs in his pocket to get away with his dodgy decision making!!

How would you rate it against the Asif Kapadia film? (Which I thought was outstanding - that film brought tears to my eye and I wasn’t even a fan of the guy before watching it.)
Didn’t watch that so can’t compare mate but I’m a huge F1 and Senna fan , mabye I’m biased but it got 8.4 on IMBD which is almost unheard of, it’s incredibly well made.

As they say ‘games gone’ shame that so many sports are being ruined like this, although to be fair F1 has been dodgey AF for ages in terms of the leadership, even back to the 80’s Senna got screwed as the French FIA president protected Prost, Max Mosley was dogey, this is just another type of controlling and dogey behaviour by new F1 leadership. Shame tho

The Senna documentary film scores even higher, and for something that’s been out for years now that’s surprising. I was keen to get an idea of how they compare from someone who’s a F1 fan and has seen both. I’ll have to give it a watch over Xmas!

Ever since they stole the title from Hamilton I don't watch it but what I do know is that horner is a smarmy, oily individual and Verstroppen is a spiteful, entitled brat.

George Russell’s response to Verstappen’s comments about him are wow.

Well done George.
I REALLY hope this leads to him being a little more assertive on track too and not be bullied as he rightly says. People do bow down to Max on track, let him pass, don't fight him in corners, apart from Lewis and lately Lando (to a degree), people need to let him drive in to them, let him get the penalties and then maybe he wouldn't be so dominant.

Its interesting watching old clips of him, pre him being 'tidied up', teeth done etc etc....I believe every word of the allegations that were made against him. He's a narcissist of the highest order, which was apparent when he cried wolf saying his team were being bullied, team members kids being made to cry etc, after RB were done for overspending on the catering!!!!

A sad end to his Mercedes career, especially with how Toto has spoken about him this year. Just really poor form from Mercedes.

I think the blame can be shared here. And, its tough to blame Mercedes for not putting everything towards Hamilton, and instead favoring Russell.

It was a hell of a run, but it's been a disappointing final season for both Mercedes and Hamilton. Hopefully both can be rejuvenated nest year.
