Lulu wants to keep his massive salary in F1 !!

[toby1]

""Next season a budget cap will be introduced where teams must spend no more than $145 million (£112m). This will reduce to $140m (£108m) in 2022 and $135m (£105m) in 2023. Mercedes and Ferrari currently both operate at costs in excess of £300m a year.

But Hamilton said: "The drivers here are the stars of the sport and it is their reputations which elevates the sport and helps it travel around the world.""

Bare naked Greed !

Anybody care to disagree ?

Lulu has covid-19 and the other Drivers are giving him a very wide berth.
If he is not racing this sunday then will we see the kneeling that some ponces like to do before the race ?

Just to prove the Car is the Star and not Lulu, a reserve driver with little experience hopped into Lulu's car and made it to Second Place on the Grid after Bottas. I always said that the Merc is far and away much better than all the rest of the field and that's because Mercedes has the cash, the resources and the expertise to build a better car.

The reserve driver Russel, who is truly a British person, (not a pretend British person like Lulu is), should have won but a crash, safety car and a slow puncture scuppered his chances of a win.
Spectators were wondering why with such a good car, Bottas never swept the board, it's obvious that any of the current F1 drivers could sit in the Merc and win or come second, the Merc is that good !
Mercedes were reluctant to give details of Lulu's illness except to say that Lulu ,'is not so good', when asked where did Lulu catch covid-19 ?? there was a complete lack of information which lead to reporters investigating and they found that Lulu had visted a ,"Club", where Guys go to meet each other and he probably caught it there.

Lulu saw how well Russel did in the Merc and I suppose he is frightened that Toto will sign Russel on for 2021. Russel is young, talented and hungry for success so he would soon eclipse Lulu but of course Lulu would want to hinder this so he needs to get back into the drivers seat without delay. read on.:-


“I’ve just been focusing on recovering and trying to get back in shape so I can get back in the car and race in Abu Dhabi,' said Lulu.

“I woke up today feeling great and got my first workout in so I just wanted to send you guys a message of positivity, let you know I’m OK and thank every single one of you for sending me the amazing messages and videos. I really, really appreciate it. I hope that I can get back in the car soon.”

Williams’ George Russell stood in for Hamilton last Sunday and was on course for victory before a Mercedes pit-stop howler, and late puncture, derailed his chances of becoming only the fourth British driver to win a Formula One race this century. He eventually finished ninth.

Lulu was voted sport personality, in truth the F1 wins were down to the fantastic car, not Lulu because we saw how easily a raw beginner jumped into the car and ended up at the front of the grid. I suppose because of the Chinese plague there were no other contendors so they had to pick somebody and of course Lulu is halfcaste so that panders as the BBC like to.

Latest news is that they want to call him Sir Lulu ! A terrible mistake in my opinion because he moved to Monaco just to avoid paying Tax in the UK, how does making Lulu a knight set an example to the British ??

""Mercedes boss Toto Wolff says the UK should feel proud to have a “champion and ambassador of the calibre of Sir Lewis Hamilton” after the Formula One driver was awarded with a knighthood.

Hamilton has been recognised in the New Year Honours list following a record-breaking year in which he eclipsed Michael Schumacher’s all-time victory tally and emulated the German by winning a seventh world title.""

The car is the star not Lulu !. I used to think that Lulu had exceptional skills but having seen George Russel jump into the Merc as an absolute newcomer and get to the front of the grid at the first time of trying ! leads me to believe that it is the car that is head and shoulders better, not Lulu.
Then we have the matter of the Stevenage born boy who relocated to Monaco to avoid paying any UK Taxes.
If I were in Lulu' s position I would probably do the same but then I would not then call myself,'British'. !

Unlike Jimmy Greaves, Hamilton has lived in Switzerland and Monaco these past 12 years - for tax reasons, of course.

I fail to see the logic in giving him a Knighthood ! He is not even ,"British", and we know he re-located to Monaco so he would not be liable for UK Tax.
I have no problems in anybody re-locating, Monaco is a wonderful place, lovely climate though very expensive to eat out ! but you cannot have your cake and eat it !
