Lewis: “I didn’t go out, I had food everywhere. It’s not very exciting, but I always stayed in my bladder! “With his faithful dog Roscoe, his other mastiff, Coco, passed away in the summer.
$ 2 million per race?
The eccentric boy’s spartan life has paid off and should continue to pay off in the future. Or as team boss Toto Wolff (48) put it: “After these triumphs, Lewis will of course be even more expensive!”
It remains to be seen how long the 94-time winner will be there. There is talk of a two million dollar wage claim – per career!
“We are proud of Lewis!”
Certainly these numbers were discussed on the joint return flight from Istanbul. Wolff laughs: “Yeah, it’s about time we put an end to this issue.”
Even Ola Källenius, CEO of Daimler AG, says: “I’m excited to see where our journey will take us! We are proud that you have been a part of our family for over 20 years. Thanks Lewis! “Up to here the perpetual rumors that Mercedes will leave Formula 1.
Hamilton needs Mercedes
The Viennese Toto Wolff, like Hamilton (“I’d like to stay!), Hopes the mission continues:” If we give him a good car in the future, he will win many more races and titles.
Lewis knows exactly that he needs Mercedes for his show and also for actions (like Blacklivesmatter) on the track, and vice versa. So it depends on the millions.
Cars stay black
Mercedes has already made the first commitment (or was it a condition?). The cars will also be painted black in 2021. Only from 2022, when Formula 1 wants to reinvent itself again, will they return to the traditional Silver Arrows.
It remains to be seen if anything will actually change at the top. Ferrari, Aston Marton, McLaren and Renault expect so. And of course Red Bull too, if you can use a decent engine (Renault) after Honda’s withdrawal.
Applause from the critics …
On Sunday, even Hamilton’s biggest critics and Schumi’s fans had to applaud. Normally, Mercedes puts a rocket in the garage of the Briton in qualifying, to a successful search for pole.
For the race, the Silver Arrow is often used for a quiet Sunday outing, with the checkered flag as a reward.
31 seconds ahead
This time everything was different again in chaotic conditions in Turkey: only sixth place on the grid and in the end Hamilton won with an incredible 31-second lead over Pérez (30, Racing Point-Mercedes) and Vettel (33, Ferrari).
Experience had clearly beaten the young and wild Leclerc (4th), Verstappen (6th) and the Polish Stroll (9th) in tire poker. Analyzes, rants or excuses are useless afterwards.
Justice is your greatest strength
Bottom line: Lewis Hamilton has been in a different league for years and has always been in championship points for 46 races. Almost without errors and with a justice rarely found in superstars. Fans and critics should take note of that too.
Corona hit Pirelli
A prominent man was captured in Turkey on Sunday in the race. Mario Isola (50), the head of Pirelli, tested positive for Covid 19 and must now remain isolated in Istanbul.
The Italian, who has been with the rubber giant for 22 years, has no symptoms and has been a volunteer paramedic and ambulance driver in Milan for more than 15 years.
