One week ago we were forced to think aloud if Hamilton was as focused as he should have been at the beginning of the season. His involvement in other noble causes has taken the prominence his stature on the world stage dictates. So, when he missed yellow flags – an error you would not associate with a multiple world champion and had an in-race-repeat fracas with Albon, doubt surfaced.
We are certain that there were moments, after Round 1, when Hamilton was compelled to do some recalculation in order to reset his bearings. But, we all know, that Hamilton, even when down, is never out and at Round 2, at the Styrian GP in Austria, the 6-times world and defending champion, left no wheel unturned when he went on a vicious. surefooted campaign of wrath.
NORRIS
Scintillating, he was in qualifying and maniacal he remained in his pursuit of dominance during the race. In Styria, Hamilton was untouchable and despite other noteworthy performances on the grid – Verstappen and the revelation thus far – Norris – Hamilton left absolutely no doubt that HE is the man !
What do you think about Ferrari’s woes? Who should be blamed for the collision?
And what about Norris’ performance?
F1 off to a d… good start !

Happy to see Hamilton back on form. Very disappointed in the pace at Ferrari though
Hailings JJ ! Hamilton on form is always a plus because of what he brings to the table. What is happening at Ferrari will make no true fan of the sport comfortable. We enjoy seeing our driver/team win, but, a closely fought battle will always be more enjoyable than a Mercedes-led one horse race.
A healthy Ferrari makes for more exciting races and with what is unfolding at present, with Red Bull seeking to establish dominance and McLaren – Norris – on the rise, we need Ferrari in the mix to sweeten the viewing deal. Lol!
