70th Anniversary Grand Prix: Losing is something Lewis Hamilton cannot accept

The 70th Anniversary Colossal Prix is dwell on BBC Radio 5 Live from 14: 00 BST

The anguish of shedding oozed out of every section of Lewis Hamilton’s being after qualifying on the 70th Anniversary Colossal Prix.

Hamilton had been overwhelmed to pole situation by his Mercedes group-mate Valtteri Bottas by correct 0.063 seconds, the first time the Finn had headed the Briton on the grid for the reason that first flee of the season in the starting up up of ultimate month.

Afterwards, Hamilton’s answers in the put up-qualifying recordsdata conference were quick and to the level, as they so progressively are in these conditions.

“Valtteri did an unheard of job on the present time,” Hamilton stated. “He changed into as soon as correct a chunk of too swiftly for me. The first lap changed into as soon as rather first rate and the final lap wasn’t spectacular. In the end, he did a better job.”

Right here’s frequent Hamilton fare when he is second. It eats him up. Shedding is something he simply can no longer ranking.

It is occasionally delight in this that the starting up air world will get a activity of the indispensable dedication and pressure that, allied along with his skill, has pushed Hamilton forward to the level where he is nearby this season of becoming the most winning driver in the historical previous of the sport.

Hamilton is on 87 wins, correct four unnerved of Michael Schumacher’s all-time legend, which unless nowadays had felt impregnable. Nonetheless if he is to trail closer in Sunday’s flee, the second at Silverstone within every week, he’ll bear to dash Bottas first.

Right here’s never an effortless activity in a gaggle that tries to operate as rather as imaginable.

Bottas takes 70th Anniversary pole – full document

Pay consideration: Chequered Flag podcast particular with Lewis Hamilton

How qualifying for the 70th Anniversary GP unfolded

Unless he can dash Bottas on intention, a worldly build a take a look at to in vehicles of the same high-tail, Hamilton’s alternate choices are the originate up – and it’s onerous to gape him backing off in the kind Bottas did final weekend when the Finn bought a better originate up and changed into as soon as alongside Hamilton into the first corner – or to spend a take a look at out at something on strategy.

Nonetheless Mercedes has thus a long way been reluctant with Hamilton and Bottas to permit them to spend a take a look at out on the form of off-put strategy – taking assorted tyres at assorted times – that led to primary fights between Hamilton and Bottas’ predecessor Nico Rosberg corresponding to that at Bahrain in 2014. That competition created a toxic atmosphere in the group, which Mercedes would rather no longer repeat.

One factor to be a long way from, even supposing, is that Hamilton will strive to uncover a capacity, correct as he did when he qualified second in the raze twelve months’s British Colossal Prix.

“We aloof bear a prolonged flee,” he stated, “and I will attain all the pieces I’m in a position to to spend a take a look at out at and beat this guy.”

Bottas, meanwhile, is conscious of this is his opportunity to in the reduction of into the 30-level lead Hamilton opened out as a results of the dramatic halt to final week’s flee, when both Mercedes drivers suffered unhurried punctures.

“Indubitably mentally can bear to you are ranging from pole you’ll be ready to most productive intention to spend,” Bottas stated. “The high-tail is there. First job is to fetch off the line, and the mentality is strive to spend it. That’s it.”

Verstappen in the wild

Verstappen tweeted after qualifying: “Cannot recount I’m elated with P4, nonetheless starting on the onerous tyre compound might perchance fetch it a animated flee the next day.”

One minor surprise in qualifying changed into as soon as that Red Bull’s Max Verstappen changed into as soon as overwhelmed to his earlier school third situation in the aid of the Mercedes by Racing Point’s Nico Hulkenberg.

In the flee Verstappen might perchance successfully present the best hobby, starting up air the combat for the spend between the Mercedes drivers, no longer least for his resolution to originate up on the toughest tyre.

This name changed into as soon as suggested by a dash F1 has made in an strive to spice up the action for this second consecutive flee at Silverstone. Pirelli changed into as soon as requested to raise a tyre different for this flee one step softer than changed into as soon as provided for the British Colossal Prix final weekend.

Meaning that final weekend’s ‘onerous’ tyre – the favoured flee tyre for everybody – is no longer obtainable. This week’s onerous is final weekend’s medium, and this week’s ‘medium’ final week’s gentle, which everybody tried to steer a long way from for the flee.

On these softer tyres, everybody appears to be predicted to bear to fetch two pit stops, as a substitute of the considered one of ultimate week. Would possibly well even this raise Verstappen into play in the flee? He absolutely wasn’t going to predict he might perchance instruct the Mercedes.

“I felt strongly for that tyre,” Verstappen stated, “because we are already operating softer compounds so we can’t exhaust the onerous delight in final week. So I wanted to dash for the toughest likelihood we had.

“The gentle changed into as soon as falling apart so changed into as soon as no longer an likelihood. The medium changed into as soon as final week’s gentle and that changed into as soon as additionally no longer an unheard of tyre.

“This might perchance depend on about a issues – how my first lap goes to be and if there might be a security car. It felt delight in a pleasant tyre so as this is why I am going to present it a dash.”

Hulkenberg brings some pleasure to Racing Point

Hulkenberg (sharing a fist bump with aged Renault group-mate Daniel Ricciardo) is having a take a look at out to seal his first ever podium originate in System 1

Since the originate up of the season, it has been apparent Racing Point were difficult Red Bull for the second quickest car, nonetheless issues bear no longer come collectively for the group at any flee thus a long way.

Nonetheless on Saturday Nico Hulkenberg underlined what the auto that has been dubbed the ‘purple Mercedes’ in F1’s “copying” row is able to with a unheard of third on the grid.

The German, out of F1 for the reason that halt of ultimate season, is subbing for the second weekend in succession for Mexican Sergio Perez, who has coronavirus. And Hulkenberg has been by the mill a chunk of.

His return final weekend might perchance no longer had been extra final-minute. And after he failed to fetch even the originate up of the flee as a result of a mechanical instruct, Hulkenberg has had yet any other turbulent week because the group tried in pointless to fetch Perez support in the auto.

Hulkenberg has been working with Racing Point all week, making willing for the flee, nonetheless it changed into as soon as most productive when Perez failed a Covid-19 take a look at on Thursday evening that he knew he might perchance be support in the auto again this weekend.

Meanwhile, the group administration were underneath strain on two fronts.

Many were no longer impressed that they were pushing so onerous for Perez when, from a PR stand-level, given the efforts F1 has made to fetch the season underway amid the pandemic, they might had been better informed correct to commit to Hulkenberg for the two races.

On the identical time, they were mad by the autumn-out from Renault’s winning roar against their car, after the publication of the stewards’ ruling that they’d illegally copied Mercedes’ rear brake ducts.

On Saturday, Hulkenberg changed into as soon as a vision of aloof in the storm.

“I’m correct going with the circulation,” he stated. “We couldn’t take a look at too great final week. The high coming support Thursday, Friday after which Sunday the big low and now coming support, it has been a pretty wild week in a certain intention.

“Bodily, it has been tough. These vehicles are brutally snappily in the replace of route and no gym on the earth can put collectively you for that.”

Verstappen stated: “It clearly reveals the auto is terribly sturdy nonetheless additionally Nico did an unheard of job in qualifying.

“They did a extremely correct job over the cool climate nonetheless I essentially hope this is in a position to additionally back Nico for his seat for next twelve months because he positively deserves to be in F1. There are about a drivers who don’t appear to be as correct as him.”

Hulkenberg is most animated identified for preserving an unenviable F1 legend – that of the most races with out a podium originate. And it’s one he would essentially rather relinquish.

“I knew that will come up now,” he stated, after qualifying, when someone requested whether he might perchance eventually fetch the monkey off his support.

“To be correct, or no longer it’s very difficult and advanced conditions nonetheless I know I bear a snappily car beneath me. So or no longer it’s correct attempting to be clear that to attain all the pieces correct.

“Obviously or no longer it’s starting lap one. Or no longer it goes to be additionally contemporary for me nonetheless I mediate I will correct strive to fetch it correct along with your total ride that I bear after which we are going to flee. I’m a pair of races in the aid of the other guys nonetheless I aloof be conscious what it feels delight in.

“Exact strive no longer to mediate too great, defend my head down and bear a correct flee.”

Racing Point group indispensable Otmar Szafnauer stated after qualifying that they were hopeful Perez might perchance be support for next weekend’s Spanish Colossal Prix. So it is most likely to be Hulkenberg’s final likelihood.

In the previous, when he is been in a situation to destroy his duck, he has dropped the ball. And the final time that came about, in Germany final twelve months, changed into as soon as the moment that convinced Renault group boss Cyril Abiteboul that he might also aloof let him dash.

Can Hulkenberg eventually correct the legend, while putting himself firmly support on the agenda for a permanent pressure next twelve months?

Monsieur le Duc d’Ouaippe

It is never an easy process to voluntarily and with full intention leave behind the memories of what once was, especially if it was a blissfully pleasant age in the life of the one who refuses to place his or her attention upon the present. What a somber circumstance to endure the suffering which occurs when the past become the jealous beholder of attention, stealing from the present what is rightfully hers. When such a thing occurs, there is nothing any external force could do to awaken that torn soul lost within its own memory. Only time, which never ceaseth to tick, could possess such a supernatural ability.

But even such a force must eventually succumb to the demands of death when it comes to acquire its debt from whom all who live will ultimately pay. If this tortured being does not end its pathetic cycle of, quite literally, slowly constructing its own coffin – it will continue to unknowingly creep closer to its own end – as previously stated, time does not yield to anyone, for she is truly a free spirit. If continued, thus, without facing the future, the one suffering from its own woes will awaken to the unfortunate realization of the fate of all living beings. Its life has passed it by.

What a similar plight in which Monsieur le Duc d’Ouaippe finds himself as he paces to and fro throughout his chambre in a magnificent chateau with an angst that is beginning to drive him mad. Having nothing else to which he could place his attention, he continues his march within the same chambre as he grows increasingly anxious. But ‘tis is no ordinary form of anxiety, or he would be able to combat such a diabolical enemy. He was being attacked by a more powerful foe, about whom he essayed to forget, yet again he failed, for her beauty was powerful.

She, who was the worst of all antagonists, was living her life in the manner that she decided was best for her – without Monsieur le Duc. As she traversed the boulevard on which she resided, something caught her attention. And she looked up.

“Such a belle vue!” exclaimed she. She lived in Paris with art being her chosen profession. Thus, she viewed the world from a different perspective than most. Because of the misogynist patriarchy in which she, and frankly all women, found herself living, it seemed that there was no occupation which she could do, unfortunately, solely because she was a woman. This shows the ignorance of that time.

What a pathetic and cowardly way for men to control society.

And many believed, thus. Yet, no one could change the status quo, it seemed, for all were subject to the patriarchy if they were not of the gender, race, religion – quite literally any characteristic – that the aristocracy deemed worthy.

So, the mademoiselle chose a life in which she controlled everything; she lived according to her own whims, and was quite successful at doing so, leaving these powerful men – including those who were not considered worthy by the racist, misogynist and close-minded worthless bodies of flesh who imposed their will upon the masses – burning with an inextinguishable desire for her return if only once more.

Knowing the power that she possessed, decided to put it to us in a situation concerning a man with whom she used to be well-acquainted. She decided to return her past, but with a purpose known only to her.

As she continued her promenade along the Parisian boulevard, she reached a café where she grabbed a chair and dove instantly not deep thought of her past. She knew she had to address this situation. After ordering un café avec crème, she began drafting a message to the Duke; she wrote to him some advice which she believed would ultimately change his life. The gentleman received the letter on the same day, whilst still pacing about his room – mentally lost.

Finally growing sick of his aimless wandering, le Monsieur stopped, frustrated with himself and with her – the artsy mademoiselle – who is the root of his suffering. He looked at his feet and began to shift his gaze out of the grand window which gave him a brilliant view of his duchy. He had all that any man could desire: a fortune which would last generations, a title to ensure a good standing in his society and chateau fit for the King, may God bless him. Frustrated even further – as the usual process went – he let out a loud audible sigh and began to be filled with a rage so sudden – so intense – that he could not bear the thought of that woman no longer.

He rushed across his room, first physically assaulting the bookshelf which was to the right of the window. He took the books written by the most talented romanticist and began to tear out the pages. Filled with an infernal sentiment raging powerfully within him, he threw those books written with lies – and nothing but! – across the room. He destroyed his own abode until the chief butler arrived with a parchment for him.

“Monsieur le Duc, voici.”

“What is this?”

“C’est a letter, from her whom we render nameless”

Attempting to manage his emotions and sentiments, his rage was transformed into an unrealistic hope for something that had the possibility to be. She, who was the worst of antagonists, and le Duc could rekindle what they once had. Nothing in this world would make him feel more elated. There was hope at last!

He could not help but cling to this mad expectation of the highly improbable. Yet he still hoped.

“Merci,” he responded to his steward, and he began to slowly ready the note which contained, hopefully, a plan for reconciliation.

As he slowly unrolled that small, white strip of parchment, he began to see that only two words were inscribed thereupon. And he paused. He then dropped the message on the ground, for he could not bear to read those two words.

Those. Two. Words.

“What could they say?” he muttered to himself. Could it be that the most beautiful woman that I have ever seen desires me once again?

He started his pacing again. From the window, he incessantly peered out at his land as if that view would grant him a respite or a permanent cure from what he abhorred most in this world: his current situation. He has no one upon whom to place the blame, and this makes the situation even worse. The feelings between the two had slowly begun to dissipate, and their communication thus followed suit, though he blamed himself. Monsieur d’Ouaippe constructed this miserable plight with his own two hands – what an architect he is, for who could even begin to fathom the construction of such a beautifully appalling project! But this letter had the potential to change all of that.

Minutes passed, and likewise did a couple of hours, as he paced to and fro. His chambre now seemed a prison, forcing the Duke to abandon all of his other duties and suffer – albeit willingly allow himself to be tormented – by the thought of that woman and what they shared. His whole life had been placed on hold, as the rest of the world progressed in their own lives, as they should be doing.

After three long hours passed, he finally ceased to perform what seemed to be an excellent practice of military drill and ceremony by depressively walking and remembering the old times. His past life with that girl was amazing. She was the one person who brought him out of what was quite a hopeless situation. Being in Paris was the best experience that had happened to him; he even had the title of Duke donned upon him, and he was given the grant of a Duchy just outside of the belle ville. That was the past where he seemed to live, unable to regard the present nor, most definitely, the future.

As different thoughts flowed through his head, he screamed, “Enough!” and picked up that tiny letter sent by his former amant who plagued him with a potent illness from which he never can be cured by another, but only by himself. ‘Tis the malady called l’amour fou or love – madness – caused by love herself.

Next to the window with the magnificent view, he commenced reopening the letter. He lifted his head, with a slight smile stemming from the possibility of what those two words could be.

This could be the answer to my plight, he thought, not even giving into account the possibility that his condition was self-inflicted. Only he could decide to finally exit his chambre, and live life with the gaiety and joy as does an innocent child. He could easily return to a state of normalcy, should he simply learn from the past and continue to advance towards his future. Yet, he chooses, with each passing day, to remain in the pit filled with agony and melancholy situated so deeply in the earth that no glimmer of light could even reach it.

It is his choice to remain there in the most desolate of locations. Monsieur le Duc du Ouaippe truly believed that this parchment would initiate the rekindling of a relationship, which was one of his positive thoughts. How good it is to have hope! When the young woman wrote this correspondence to him, she was filled with emotion as well. But I digress.

When the parchment in his hands and almost completely unraveled, he crushed it in a rage and he began flailing about his chambre, intoxicated with a dangerous amount of animosity and fueled by raging anger. He instantly told himself that he would use the contents in the letter as motivation to return to a state of mental normalcy. She became once again his muse, but this time she gave him enough inspiration for the creation of a good life, rather than the creation of art.

This inspiration was a direct reaction to the two words which were written by the most beautiful and memorable woman whom he, or any man, ever saw.

The letter read thus: Oublie-moi, which translates to the following: “Forget me.”

Lewis Hamilton wins Azerbaijan Grand Prix after Crimson Bulls crash

Lewis Hamilton was handed victory in a madcap end to a chaotic, incident-strewn Azerbaijan Grand Prix throughout which each Crimson Bulls sensationally collided with one another.

Hamilton’s team-mate Valtteri Bottas was on the right track to win after Mercedes took benefit of a late security automobile to leap long-time chief Sebastian Vettel’s Ferrari.

However, after Vettel had thrown away second place with a mistake on the restart, Bottas suffered a puncture on the following lap.

His two rivals out of the best way, Hamilton was given victory and the championship lead on a plate after trying set to complete third.

Two weeks after being hailed because the grasp overtaker, Ricciardo could should take a number of the blame for Crimson Bull’s worst intra-team incident for years

There will likely be phrases

The late security automobile had been triggered by a crash between the 2 Crimson Bulls, when Daniel Ricciardo slammed into the again of team-mate Max Verstappen whereas making an attempt to go into the primary nook.

There will likely be recriminations at Crimson Bull, whose drivers had appeared on the sting of a crash for a lot of the race as Ricciardo fought to go Verstappen and the Dutchman defended proper on the sting of acceptability, and a few may say past.

Crimson Bull are well-known for using two drivers who combat fiercely on monitor, however there has not been a coming collectively of this magnitude since Vettel and Mark Webber ended one another’s race throughout the Turkish Grand Prix in 2010.

However though their incident – for which they each obtained a reprimand from race stewards – will generate headlines they’d a bit half in a race that for thus lengthy Vettel regarded to have in a headlock.

Perez returned to the rostrum for the primary time since Baku two years in the past

How did Vettel lose that?

The German led from pole and, after a security automobile was triggered by a number of first-lap crashes, constructed a three-second lead on the primary racing lap.

Hamilton couldn’t fairly stick with Vettel and his hopes gave the impression to be over when he locked his wheels going into Flip One on lap 22.

That compelled him to cease for contemporary tyres and demoted him to 3rd place, and now there was a cat-and-mouse recreation between Vettel and Bottas.

Vettel and Ferrari caught it out with a traditional technique, stopping on lap 28 for smooth tyres, whereas Mercedes left Bottas out hoping for a safety-car interval.

It got here, due to the Crimson Bulls, as Ricciardo cannoned into the again of Verstappen.

As a cease below the protection automobile prices much less time than one in racing situations, Bottas was capable of emerge within the lead.

That is three totally different winners in 4 races this season

The query of whether or not he may maintain off Vettel in what gave the impression to be a sooner automobile grew to become tutorial when the German lunged for the within on the restart with 4 laps left and ran extensive, letting Hamilton and the second Ferrari of Kimi Raikkonen by. Pressure India’s Sergio Perez moved previous into third quickly afterwards.

Bottas then appeared set for the win, however ran over particles on the following lap and suffered a serious tyre failure as he handed the pits with three laps to go.

Hamilton, who took his first win since final October’s US Grand Prix and a four-point championship lead over Vettel, was disbelieving afterwards.

“Actually fairly an emotional race,” he stated. “Valtteri did such an distinctive job and actually deserved the win. I used to be very lucky. It feels a bit odd, however I’ve acquired to take it.”

Crimson Bull team-mates Vettel and Webber collided whereas travelling in a straight line in 2010

How the Crimson Bull insanity unfolded

The Crimson Bulls have been anticipated to contend for victory however, as a substitute, within the opening laps discovered themselves below stress from the Renaults of Carlos Sainz and Nico Hulkenberg, who have been on softer tyres.

Verstappen’s passing transfer on Ricciardo at Flip Two on the first restart on lap six let Sainz previous the Australian and the Spaniard was quickly previous the Dutchman, too.

After Hulkenberg took himself out of the reckoning by hitting the wall in his second unforced error in Baku in two races, the Crimson Bulls set to it.

Ricciardo was clearly sooner, and tried a number of occasions to go Verstappen, the edgiest second when the Dutchman nudged his team-mate to the wall in Flip One as Ricciardo tried to go across the outdoors on lap 12.

Ricciardo settled again for some time however then attacked once more on 35, this time succeeding in his outdoors transfer at Flip One.

However, once they pitted two laps aside on laps 38 and 39, Ricciardo someway misplaced out regardless of stopping first, which ought to give a bonus.

Subsequent time round, Ricciardo sought to make amends. He dummied to the surface, Verstappen defended after which defended once more to the within, and Ricciardo locked his brakes and smashed into the again of his team-mate, the pair spinning into the run-off space.

The incident will trigger controversy – and whereas Ricciardo undoubtedly misjudged it, there will likely be those that really feel Verstappen paid the value for transferring too many occasions within the braking zone, one thing he has made a controversial trademark since his debut.

Mercedes non-executive director Niki Lauda sided with Ricciardo, saying the incident was “70% Verstappen’s fault as a result of he moved too many occasions”.

There may additionally be an argument the staff ought to have intervened earlier, realizing the depth of the drivers’ private battle, and given Ricciardo was clearly the faster driver on this present day.

One other mad restart

There was even drama throughout the last safety-car interval, when Haas driver Romain Grosjean spun out of seventh place whereas making an attempt to heat his tyres.

Hamilton criticised race director Charlie Whiting for not stopping the race, fairly than sending out a flat-bed truck to get better Grosjean’s automobile.

That call would even have supplied extra racing laps on the finish.

Vettel, after his error on the last restart, survived to complete fourth, forward of Sainz, a stellar efficiency by rookie Charles Leclerc within the Sauber and McLaren’s Fernando Alonso, seventh regardless of struggling two punctures and flooring harm when caught in a first-lap incident with Hulkenberg and Williams’ Sergey Sirotkin.

Sirotkin was later handed a three-place grid penalty on the subsequent race for triggering the incident.

Driver of the day

Leclerc, who has made his F1 debut this season with excessive expectations on him, certified beautifully in 14th place for Sauber and dodged the melee on the primary lap to emerge 10th. He ran within the high 10 for many of the race and took an excellent sixth to lastly ship on his potential as a future star after a shaky begin to his profession

What occurs subsequent?

F1 returns to Europe in two weeks’ time for the Spanish Grand Prix, the place everybody can have updates to their vehicles and Mercedes will likely be looking for to overturn Ferrari’s apparent tempo benefit.

Nearly a footnote after the late-race incidents, however the agenda was set by a number of first-lap collisions

You’re lovely, it doesn’t matter what they are saying… about your overtaking abilities: Christina Aguilera oversaw the insanity at Crimson Bull

Hamilton could take a look at his first victory in Azerbaijan by rose-tinted spectacles

Hiya darkness, my previous pal: Perhaps Hulkenberg’s uncommon mistake – the place he crashed into the wall for the second time in as a few years in Baku – will likely be forgotten after all of the motion

The race takes place in downtown Baku
