Lewis telling them the entire race that they're killing his race with these ridiculous calls. It's either they didn't want him to interfere at the front or, the obvious, they don't want him finishing ahead of GR if they can help it.
After that incredible qualifying from Lewis , then they screw him over with poor strategies, … start the race with used softs…. Seriously?!!…. Is it 2025, yet?🙄👩🏻🦰💜💛
Hamilton needs to take all the info he he's given from the strategy meetings and then do his own thing. Bono has been compromised which means he can only trust himself and feel for the car to make decisions.
Unfortunately, that's what he's got to do for these remaining races. Really really sad how all this is playing out. Your most successful driver, not to mention most successful F1 driver. The minute Mercedes didn't back Lewis after AD21 was when I knew the end was near.
Listen fam...they are sabotaging him on purpose, they wanted Russell to finish ahead of Hamilton, they are still pissed at him for signing with Ferrari
Facts! Even if it was to “get ahead at the start” Lewis was basically going to try to slow down Max for Russell to jump him in the pit stop phase… F Mercedes
They did this just to ensure they could maneuver George at will during the race... to get George closer the Lewis... thank you for the content sir! I hope all is well with you and the family
This strategy was clearly to aid George Russell get ahead of Lewis. The last time they tried this offset strategy in ‘23, George took Lewis out of the race.
Toto: “We read the race wrong.” Yea right, Toto. You read it right for Max and George. You missed a great opportunity for George and Lewis to work together towards making inroads into the Constructor’s championship. You showed you could care less about that. Your only objective is to bring down Sir Lewis. The world is watching you, Toto.
Lewis is to honorable for this sport. If he made more controversial statements like Alonso or max they probably would not treat him like they do, but they know he'll be respectful and politically correct so they keep shafting him with zero consequences
This is like flogging a dead horse because Merc strategy will not change. The snake only apologises to SLH at the end for PR purposes & SLH is right not to reply.
@Guns258 Yeah It's a gamble, jump on Lando and Max using soft tyres, then a safety car incident that can offer him free pitstop to change his tyres for the long run. But Lando didn't botch his start and Max didn't went full aggressive on Lando. and the rest of the pack failed to cause any early incident.
So what if u did jump the two cars in front of u. U still will have to stop earlier than them. Visa cash app wouldn’t do this stupid strategy. They don’t wont him to do well.
They done it to switch lewis and george around, mercedes want russell to chip away at lewis’s lead from now until end of the season, fuck this sport, wish lewis left at the end of 2021, would have made a bigger statement on the sport
If Merc really believed that used red walls would whizz past Verstappen and Norris then they are clearly demented. Even if he had, how the heck could he possibly stay in front before the first pit stop and a far too early change to hards? This is not an "error" - it stinks.
I'm not stressed tbh. Leclerc started ninth and ended up in a Mercedes sandwich. It's clear this team has no genuine motion and thankfully Lewis only got a few more races with them
I don’t think anyone bought Toto’s bs radio message at the end which is why Lewis didn’t say anything in response to Toto’s message. It was literally shocking to see Lewis in softs. They are obviously trying to sabotage Lewis-even Stevie Wonder can see what’s going on over there.
And scrubbed softs at that!!! Only conclusion I can read from this they were hoping George would get the podium. Don't know if Lewis could have hung on for 3rd, but they did not give him the chance to try.... Unf...ing believable, that the team you contributed so much to, could end up treating you this way.
You are getting it all wrong, they got their desired result. They wanted George on the podium not Lewis but Oscar came from behind to mess that plan up which makes me happy.
This is bigger than Hamilton vs Russell. What Liberty did was clear the deck for a head-to-head battle between Norris and Verstappen. We have that now. 7 races which as it stands means if Norris wins them all and Verstappen comes second, Verstappen wins the championship. Norris will have to win the sprints and/or get the fastest laps to beat Verstappen or hopes his teammate pushes Verstappen back to 3rd in a couple of those races. This isn't pod racing, its pure entertainment.
they need to devalue him so they can keep team share price high, they will look like fools next year, they will fall behind Aston Martin next year, they got rookei who probably will fail at least first year and they got GR who will probably never be a world champion in F1
I just had a thought and typically I agree with you, but perhaps Merc is falling back to have more aero time in 2025 and are sabotaging Lewis because they know he can win out at least come in 2nd. That would give them overall more constructor points and will hurt them against their fight against Ferrari next year. It’s a long game approach.
Do you think at this stage of the GAME, Lewis has choices??? Its only because Lewis has integrity why he keeps going, he could give just give up and ride out the rest of the season.... But that's not in his make up - on the other hand, Mercedes are not even trying to hide their BS anymore.
Lewis starting on the soft, didn't make sense considering the short run to turn 1 and when he was 3rd on the grid. What confuses me is, why did Lewis agree to it? I sense sabotage from the team. Why was Russell also not on this strategy if it was the best one? We are not fools.
Just saw the post race fan park interview with Russel and Hamilton where Hamilton says he fought Mercedes about that strategy but they insisted on the split strategy.. to which Russel replied when the tired blankets came off he could not believe Hamilton was on the softs and know Hamilton would be made.. really Russel, you did not know Hamilton was going softs.. said it from day one he is a snake.. I owe Hamilton an apology because I said if it was his idea or he did not fight it then it was on him.. now I know and stand corrected.. as Per usual Us Hamilton fans who's been calling Mercedes out for their blatant sabotage of Hamilton have been proven right again..
They wanted GR to beat Lewis. Thats it. Nothing more. They have been doing this to LH in several races. In Baku he started in Mediuns from pit lane, he did start on softs in several races this year already. Schovlin Hates LH and always tries to sabotages
Toto apologized they didn't play the right cards 👎Lewis didn't respond 😂 Very simple...I think they only want to advantage Crybaby, he needs to be reassured 😅 and finish ahead of Lewis. What the next shenanigans?
And I’ve got to wonder what the sponsors all think of what’s going over at Merc…their brand name is there on Lewis’s car and instead of it being highlighted with a podium finish, it is being associated with a losing, amateur strategy.
This is an old joke. They are just manipulating the points and nothing more, Toto don't want the goat on the pole, and that is all. 3 more months, and Lewis will be free to drive on his terms and experience... FAR AWAY FROM THEM
Crazy how the 2 people who started on softs got nowhere in the race. If both Ferrari’s would have started 3rd-4th they would have challenged the McLaren and could have pasted Max. Mercs are going downhill quicker than they think. People keep bringing up ‘26 engines but if don’t have a car to match, what will it matter. I doubt they will have another ‘14 style engine advantage in ‘26. Honda looks strong and we all know Ferrari will do whatever to make their engines strong and will have a development room that could give a car to match. Only question will be can Aston and McLaren do the same? Mercs development department is looking slim to say the least and it’s showing on track. Even more lately with all the false hope they keep giving, not just race to race but FP to FP. With Woody being their senior driver in the team, next year will be a rough one for them. If Max joins, which I doubt he will, they still will have a lot of heavy lifting to do. If Max comes in ‘26 that means Woody and Kimi start the development of the car, not Max. So he will be starting the season with a car that he may not like and may want a whole different car to work with. If that happened year one gone, then hope year 2 goes well in development, if not 2 years down the drain. Team moving funny and it will cost them.
The worrying thing is that is a lot more intelligent will believe their excuse for that strategy because they don’t like him. I will laugh my arse off if Max goes to Aston.
They want it to look like Lewis is on the downfall. They are trying to help Woody, and it’s still not working. Lewis, is beating Woody, while racing against his opponents and his own team.
Lewis haters are calming that Lewis can choose what tyres he wants to used in the race. WTF are these haters talking about? Do they actually believe that the drivers can pick their tyres for the race? Lewis haters are just sad lost pathetic lying hypocrites.
Made absolutely no sense. It’s a points game and Lewis needed to stay ahead of Ferraris, George and Oscar and he would have if he started on the medium tire. Maybe if he was on the Front row but then he’d still have to pit early and have a disadvantage in the final stint. Lewis could have definitely challenged max on merit for P2.
But even on the soft he has no pace, infact the entire race he struggling for pace. Who overcut ones team mate in a one stopper race. For the next 6 races lewis Will be Hard press to finish infront of george, unless george puts in the wall.
Just wish this season can finish. This stupid strategy just to keep him behind RUS and any idiot can see the softs were wrong. Karma is a bitch, RUS must be careful not to sit without a seat soon.
To be fair, like David Coulthard was saying on F1TV, these srategies are discussed pre-race and agreed upon. So Lewis complaining about being called in early or starting on scuffed softs is his own subduing. In the long run of things, I think Lewis is taking this in stride because he knows he sucker punched Merc by defecting to ferrari and not telling them (of course this come from AD '21 aftermath and the Team not complying with his expertise is rebuilding a better car resulting in a 3 year failing campaign; BETRAYAL). Ultimately, he will have the last laugh because he will be in a more competitive car, which looks like is going to finish second in the constructors this year.
He and Ricciardo, the only ones on softs. RIDICULOUS! This is all a ploy, what Merc is doing is similar to a team tanking on purpose to get a better draft selection position. WIthout SLH, they will have no star power next year. These are last ditch efforts to secure a top driver. I wonder why they did not opt for Sainz? One thing they cannot get around is Antonelli's experience and how his potential with have to be cultivated in the next couple of seasons. I don't think he will be quick to adapt as a Piastri, Colapinto, Lawson or Bearman. Starting next year they will reap what they sow! How bout George being the only driver to radio in encouragement. Sounds like a real champion. Seems like RB strategies do not work without being able to extend a 20 sec gap from the front. Like I self-predicted, Max would have to do all his winning in the first half and hope it is enough because they would struggle big time come second half!
Soon as i saw lewis on softs, i said it was race over
They are cleverly closing the gap between Lewis and george in championship points
It’s not even being clever. They are blatantly doing this.
Even when I'm high, I wouldn't have thought of that strategy
Luv that comment!
Lewis telling them the entire race that they're killing his race with these ridiculous calls. It's either they didn't want him to interfere at the front or, the obvious, they don't want him finishing ahead of GR if they can help it.
They want Russell to finish ahead of him in other to justify their stupid and fake lies that Russell is better than him.
Exactly that. Just wish this season can finish.

yea i agree, he has no one in the team

I am so waiting for Lewis to be at Ferrari next year
Listen fam...they are sabotaging him on purpose, they wanted Russell to finish ahead of Hamilton, they are still pissed at him for signing with Ferrari
Don’t talk stupid, the money they lose when he doesn’t perform is massive
Facts! Even if it was to “get ahead at the start” Lewis was basically going to try to slow down Max for Russell to jump him in the pit stop phase… F Mercedes
They boxed SLH way too early too, just like spa
You know Lewis is done when merc boxes him Early
They did this just to ensure they could maneuver George at will during the race... to get George closer the Lewis... thank you for the content sir! I hope all is well with you and the family

Never would have happened with Mr Lauda. Clearly the team, the soul of the team is LH44 and Nikki without those two, well. Bring on 2025.
Toto: “We read the race wrong.”
Yea right, Toto. You read it right for Max and George.
You missed a great opportunity for George and Lewis to work together towards making inroads into the Constructor’s championship. You showed you could care less about that. Your only objective is to bring down Sir Lewis.
The world is watching you, Toto.
Lewis is to honorable for this sport. If he made more controversial statements like Alonso or max they probably would not treat him like they do, but they know he'll be respectful and politically correct so they keep shafting him with zero consequences
Lewis should have stayed out till the tyres fell off each rim..
Exactly.
He finished sixth on the tyres that were on forever.
That shows us how well he could have fared!
The team called him in. They probably felt like he was holding GR up, but GR couldn't pass him
This is like flogging a dead horse because Merc strategy will not change.
The snake only apologises to SLH at the end for PR purposes & SLH is right not to reply.
Why didn’t they start George on the soft tyres as well.
Starting on USED softs🤦🏾♂️
they probably banking on something happening like a yellow flag safety car.
Honestly I expected him to over take both lando and max on lap 1. Especially since lando is known to bottle the first lap.
@Guns258
Yeah
It's a gamble,
jump on Lando and Max using soft tyres, then a safety car incident that can offer him free pitstop to change his tyres for the long run.
But Lando didn't botch his start and Max didn't went full aggressive on Lando.
and the rest of the pack failed to cause any early incident.
How CLUELESS are Mercedes' strategists?? No way this was by accident.

My exact same question. It baffles me.
I'm sure there was some protest, but at the end of the day, he probably said F it and went along with it.
@@lalalittle3900 Then he is part of the decision, choise!
Toto went into Mercedes after Ross Brawn made the foundations. He is been riding off Ross's coat-tails for too long.
The enemy is within. The Team (Toto) continues to sabotage Sir Lewis., fear of him doing well.
“It’s the self preservation society” -Italian Job
Absolutely right !
It is very painful to watch only five more races to go!
Norris & Max finished the race as they started. Lewis finished in P6. Merc is SABOTAGING LEWIS and it's quite obvious.
Blatant, the snake wants boy George to be Infront of Lewis, what an amature decision, you should be ashamed 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
They have no shame at this point in time
@@jasonseaton3905 they show no respect, zero, I hope they never win another race, roll on next year
Yeah jump other cars at the start....... 🤣
Even if he passed, he would have to still pit before the others on the Mediums
They we're not foolish,they knew why they were doing ✍️🏁
The team cost Lewis a podium place!!!
A stupid strategy on a driver who has 105 Wins!!!!!! Really????
Lewis was sabotaged again!! OMG!!!
😤😤😤😤😤😡😡😡😡

Facts man they are making it wayyy to obvious..it’s ridiculous honestly
I'm not stressed tbh. Leclerc started ninth and ended up in a Mercedes sandwich. It's clear this team has no genuine motion and thankfully Lewis only got a few more races with them
Mercedes please at least try not to make it obvious 😂🤦🏻

As I said in the last video, putting Lewis on the softs just purely because of the race start is fcking pathetic.
And scrubbed softs at that!!! Only conclusion I can read from this they were hoping George would get the podium. Don't know if Lewis could have hung on for 3rd, but they did not give him the chance to try.... Unf...ing believable, that the team you contributed so much to, could end up treating you this way.

The Mercedes sabotage is difficult to miss, this team has fallen behind the pecking order of motorsport heavily.
Fuck TOTO & MERC.. They do not want him to have a glimpse change at the WDC to beat Schumacher... ONLY 6 LEFT FAM!!!
Why they didn’t start woody on the soft.. even Lewis had pass withing a few laps Lewis would have gotten chewed up
We all new Lewis was screwed .
Lewis has so many years of experience. Why can't Lewis shoot down any strategy he doesn't agree with?
they need to devalue him so they can keep team share price high, they will look like fools next year, they will fall behind Aston Martin next year, they got rookei who probably will fail at least first year and they got GR who will probably never be a world champion in F1

Guy's you have to start on the tire you qualify with.
no you don't.
Merc are full of it!
They let the white boy finish better 😂
My only question is why Lewis even agreed to such a big-brain strategy

Used soft tyres meant it was a deliberate move to destroy SLH's race.
