I just let others live their own life. Letting his outfits bother me only hurts me. Dude does whatever he wants, he doesn't care what anyone thinks. Maybe that's what everyone finds threatening?

I wouldn't wear most of the things that he does, but I think it's cool seeing someone not just putting on their uniform and getting in line.
I'd still like to see him walk into my barber shop wearing a man dress

I hardly think I'm interfering with hammy's life clowning him in a random internet forum. It's just for fun, my fun. To be clear I'd never be disrespectful in person. Other than his eco-warrior crap hammy seems like quite a nice person.

Ham did a interview where he talks about his outfit selection. A lot of it is up and coming designers, where his (publicist?) picks the outfits to give them exposure.

Yeah, i know what that's like. First year of college was out in rural PA. I tried to blend in. I joined a Nascar fantasy league. Tried to tolerate all of the country music. Went hunting. Pretended to like fishing... lol. Fun times.

Film is not even named yet and his move to Ferrari later may have thrown a spanner in the works.

I can hear the 'Italian Ferrari pitwall strategy already for LEW :

Ferrari : BOX...BOX...BOX ! But not yet !
LEW : Guys WTF ? What ? When ?
Ferrari : We'll come back to you ...
LEW : It feels like my rear end gets looser !
Ferrari : Bellissima ! Mama Mia ! Santissima Vergine Maria !
LEW : I don't know man .That sounds like a pizza to me , man WTF ! I need 4 FKN new tires ASAP.
Ferrari : Please wait ...............We are looking !

Nothing against Hamilton specifically, but it's hilarious to see people whose carbon footprint in a year is a typical person's lifetime footprint talk about environmental topics.
It’s ridiculous…It’s like listening to DiCaprio pontificate on while he flies around to different properties and floats on his mega-yacht. STFU and practice what you preach.

Only time I've ever used it is when traveling out of the country. It's often really easy to get a hold of local businesses with whatsapp... for example, it was really easy to schedule a cab when I was in mexico recently via whatsapp. I speak basic spanish, but have a hard time with faster speaking natives, so calling for a cab and dealing with poor reception, etc., texting was so much easier. we were also able to whatsapp the cafe at the base of our rental and they would deliver us coffee and pastries in the morning.

so I can sorta understand sponsoring it, the aim isn't at the US market.

I think #FerrariFred just publicly disrespected SAI

Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur asserts that Lewis Hamilton's arrival poses no risk of him and Charles Leclerc taking points off each other and affecting the team's Formula 1 title aspirations.
Asked about the possibility of Hamilton/Leclerc potentially hampering each other, Vasseur said:
“I don't think so, because I think you have a kind of mutual benefit into the team, and we are getting probably more points with two drivers than with one and a half.”
“This is a positive move from the performance point of view, and part of our result today is also coming from the fact that we have a good emulation between Carlos and Charles - that they are pushing each other.”
“As soon as one is a step down, the other one is there to get results and he is waking up the first one. It's like this if you have a look from the beginning of last year.”
“I am really convinced that I prefer having two strong ones than not. For sure, you can imagine the fact that you have two drivers and a potential of points for the team you are speaking about two.”
“But I am sure that the potential of points for the team with two good drivers is much higher than with one and a half. That's my view.”

One and a half? Fred is nothing but a toa rag and a stooge for the 10% owner man..(on the phone:I say this? ok I say it I want to keep job). Ferrari is my second fave team but this is not acceptable.

Calling Sainz, who has 2 of the last 3 Ferrari GP wins, only a 1/2 of a driver... that's pretty bold.

Honestly, I feel like the situation is the exact opposite of what Fred is saying - they're going from 2 drivers down to 1-1/2 when they swap Hamilton in for Sainz...

I feel like there must be some things going on in the background. Maybe Sainz isn't a great team player? Maybe he's aggressive and angry towards engineers/mechanics? Because he's not a 1/2 of a driver on track.

I get it - you guys hate Ham because he won for so long - but to claim that he is Half the driver Saiz is?

That’s literally the most ridiculous thing in here. The guy was almost 2nd in WDC while having the 4th best car just last season. He won 7 - not one, not two, not four - 7 drivers championships with 2 more that could have gone either way. It’s not luck, they guy is the most successful driver in F1 ever.

And he’s HALF the driver Sainz is? Ridiculous.

I have no Hamilton hate. None at all. In 20 years do I think we'll look back and say Sainz was a better driver overall than Hamilton? Not at all. But at this moment in time, I think Sainz is the better driver. Hamilton's time has come and gone. He peaked. He's still decent and better than most on the grid, but there are drivers on the grid better than him at this point in his career.

Sainz lost to Ham last year in a better car - he literally DESTROYED Russell when he wasn't "testing" set up. This year, Mercedes is a distant 4th best manufacture on the grid, and Ham has all but checked out. I'm not sure how anyone can conclude that Ham is washed.

Reference my original post #FerrariFred was inferring the opposite. Sainz was being described as 1/2 a driver compared to HAM. My complaint is SAI is the perfect teammate. Why screw it up now

HAM isn't a team player. My guess is he will only cause friction and heartburn at Ferrari

Once again, I don't HATE HAM!!!! It''s just wrong place wrong time.
