I've been really enjoying this season. Have even started splurging for Sky day passes for the odd race. Annoyingly, having done that for the last two, childcare issues have rendered the investment wasted as race times clashed with toddler meltdowns. The joys.
Without wanting to overly move conversation from racing to personalities (maybe just a bit) I have to say that Hamilton has massively gone up in my estimation the last few years. I know he's always been a stonking driver and this weekend is classic example; but his unapologetic BLM stance and all round stoicism and sportsmanship has really changed my opinion of him. I find myself liking and respecting him. Weird scenes. I used to think he was a bit of a dick, which was always a weird cognitive dissonance thing because I always supported him over any other driver. Mixture of hometown pride and appreciation of his undeniable awesomeness. Now I get the satisfaction of supporting him because and thinking he's actually turned out to be a properly decent guy. At least he seems to be. I don't really follow the details of what the drivers get up to...
Anyway. Diggin' the racing and here's hoping it ends with a proper scrap rather than a controversial pile-up. Although that would be fun too.
PS - Max is definitely a dick right?
