Not really. He has unfinished business. If Merc is still the top car, Hamilton will be unstoppable.Mercedes has confirmed Hamilton will be back for 2022. Was there any doubt? They have good PR people.
Yup, all good points. I like Russel and hope he does well, but I would really like to see a more even field with Sainz, Leclerc, Norris, Checo, Gasly and some of the middle teams getting on or nearer to the podium.Not really.

Imagine if Merc has the best car and Hamilton is not there...Russel would cruise to his first Title. That would not sit well with Hamilton.
Then there is the boat load of money he gets paid. He will make a ton this year.
I preferred he didn't come back. Tired of all his drama.Mercedes has confirmed Hamilton will be back for 2022. Was there any doubt? They have good PR people.
I have no doubt Russel will be told not to challenge Hamilton unless Hamilton is not in contention for points. Russel is the next Bottas until Hamilton leaves Merc.Yup, all good points.

At least the “We Race as One”kneeling crap is over! I hope the new President of the FIA will bar Hamilton from wearing his stupid BLM shirts!Tired of all his drama.
I foresee an extra pit stop for a sudden tire puncture if Russell is leading Hamilton at least twice this year.I have no doubt Russel will be told not to challenge Hamilton unless Hamilton is not in contention for points. Russel is the next Bottas until Hamilton leaves Merc.
It's a shame. I have a feeling Merc put alot pf pressure on the FIA to get him booted out.Masi out.

No one is shocked by the news Masi is out.Damn! They got their way.
Well, without Masi the new season should start fresh without controversy or bitterness carried over from last season.No one is shocked by the news Masi is out.
If they left him place, F1 would have zero credibility.
He made a few bad decisions throughout the year, not just the mess in the last race. Take Silverstone for example. Lewis got what amounted to no penalty for taking Max out. It should also be noted, that the teams all stated in the pre-race meetings, they wanted the race to finish under green if at all possible.No one is shocked by the news Masi is out.
If they left him place, F1 would have zero credibility.
