One big wreck or injury at his age could be career ending. That's a ton of money to risk while playing hardball over his last contract. I've seen many American Football players screw themselves in the same fashion being greedy.

Can't be otherwise ...

Or is it like Wolff said last year : LEW gets brain damage from the bouncing Mercedes ..

Probably from the bouncing I would have thought.

Yes . Earlier today I was reading the comments from a Dutch F1 site .

The Mercedes longer race pace was better today , because the Red Bull's ran with a 'full fuel tank and the Merc's with a half tank .
So actually , the comparison of the longer runs in practice doesn't means anything .

Today Ferrari was a lot better than Mercedes.
I heard the Ferrari turbos have been replaced !

EDIT : Ferrari confirmed => https://www.gpblog.com/en/news/21850...n-austria.html

Or is LEW just losing his mind with dating the sexy Shakira ?

She probably told him to say that to Wolff about pension pot demand LOOL

[M5Rick]

...and Max keeps pole, Mags said that it was a ridiculous stewards call up anyway.

Crumbs she's 5ft 1 inch tall but still a 'big' girl, if you know what I mean.

And that his life is in danger !

Good Lord !

Sure my friend . I know it very well (as you know)

She loves very 'high heels , so her length is fixed in a heartbeat ...

But .. let's say her 'width , that's another thing .
LEW will put her on a green vegan diet , so that's actually a long term fix .

The Russell boy and Checo ran more off track than at the track .

MAX said : WTF is going on ! It's just ridiculous...
Because he lost one fast lap too

Just put it down to stewards being trigger happy with Max and Wolff's 'throwing eye daggers' at Max with a chain reaction with stewards seing wolfy has a lot of power ''jump to it stewards I have a billion in the bank'

I think , Wolff needs a loan ...
LMFAO

What a strange development and strange demand. Sounds to me that Hammy's favorite childhood story was the very hungry caterpillar.

I wonder how the FIA is gonna place this within the budget cap.
Salaries of non drivers within the budget cap are complicated as it is, some being on the payroll and some having shares etc.

Hammy isn't washed up but MB would be foolish to pay him a pension. Especially with the current car being uncompetitive.

I don't get why HAM is asking for so much money.

I get if his marketing is bringing in the money, but I don't think it's that's much.

The fact that he needs a far superior car to challenge for the championship already tells you he isn't good enough without one.

PER is showing its not just the car, it's the driver that matters too.

Well I think LEW is trying to milk the Mercedes cow before he disappears at the track horizon.

He will hanging arround in the Mercedes box for what ?
Teaching the drivers dirty tricks on how to ram MAX off track .
LEW's special contract demand will cost Mercedes $230 Million
Won't happen ,Wolff won't sign such a BS demand and it means LEW's retirement is in sight...

LEW's $230 Million demand is for to be "10 years the Mercedes ambassador after his F1 retirement.

LEW added the $230 Million demand in his new 2024 Mercedes contract.
As far as I can understand the situation it means : 2024 is LEW's last F1 season .

Checo ?
Checo ran in the last 3 races like a beginner and today he ran like an idiot.
I think 2023 is Checo's last season and Lando will get his Red Bull seat in 2024 .
