Re: [2022] Formula 1
Topspeed:Carlos from Spain:Whoopsy:Actually not today. Hamilton is the fastest guy on track today. Perez only piped him to the fastest lap by 0.1 second.
To be fair Russel out qualified Hamilton, and during the fast stint on soft tires Russell was on a more comfortable place behind the RB and did not have to push like Hamilton who had to catch Borras and Sainz, so Hamilton being faster on a few laps on that soft stint at the end of the race doesn't say much to how fast Russell could have been if he pushed it instead of managing the gap he had. And Russell has clearly been the faster overall driver of the two this season so far.
Seriously, I know spanish people are still salty about Alonso/Hamilton in late 00's but you can't deny Hamilton has been fast. And yesterday he did and amazing recovery from P19 to P4! Unfortunately he had bad luck again and he was forced to cool down the car and let Sainz go by.
Seriously, why can't some Hamilton fans handle any opinion that is different without getting salty and dismissing it as hating? you are in for a tough season with this attitude. Personally I don't have a pilot in rooting for this season so couldn't care less.
So one more time, I don't say he want fast, read again, I said that it wasn't fair saying he was faster than Russell just because of those laps with softs at the end of the race when Russell was just managing his gap in 3rd as opposed to Hamilton having to catch Bottas and Sainz for 4th? and audit in qualifying for example Russell was faster than Hamilton.
