I give Hammy about 2 more races with crap outcomes before he starts blaming the team.

on #1 - IMO the top 16 drivers are all podium level drivers (Kmag got one with Mclaren, Grosjean was too) - it's the car. It's simply not crap anymore. Kmag was never bad but was surprises me is how he buries Schumacher Jr despite zero prep for the season and by his admission a weak neck.
#2 - Mazepin was waaaay behind Schumi last year, and schumi is far from K-mag. Draw your logical conclusions ;-) Bet he's pissed though. The car comes good, Russia goes bad.
#3 - I'm with you and I'd love to see the bloom off the rose. Sir Lewis has been such a sanctimonious prick in victory with the best car and best team for so long, and "still he rises" blah blah... adversity will probably show a different side. It already started "can't wait to go home"... Norris too seemed like such a fun kid and he was brutal and borderline a$$holish about McLaren in interviews yesterday. Those guys are all killers. I wouldn't mind seeing more of that and less political correctness. You don't get there by being nice...
Talking about nice, I really grew to like Latifi, for a pay driver he really seemed like a nice dude, articulated, can drive (kinda of a nicer Stroll), but it's looking bad for him to lose to Albon and bin the car twice.
