When you consider the drop in Ferrari's engine performance since last year, it would be interesting to learn exactly what it was that Ferrari were doing that the FIA told Ferrari to stop doing.
Ferrari had to adapt and as a simple output of that we lost some of the performance we had.
Ferrari admits FIA clampdown cost F1 engine performance.

10 second penalty results in 30 seconds at race end due to traffic.

I was looking back yesterday at some of Hamilton's early races. He appeared much darker then. Odd.

Toto Wolff says that he was 'offered' the FIA job, but that Ferrari vetoed it.

I admire the skill of the dark one but to go public and say the stewards were out to stop him is childish in the extreme.

Inconsistent decisions from stewards at different tracks is infuriating.

AFAIK, the same stewards attend each race venue with the addition of a changing drivers' representative.

I would imagine the 'relationship' between Lewis and his 'engineer' is a little fraught........... :))

Would LH choose to be more white or more black?
It seems from his demeanour, apparel and hairstyle that he considers himself as black.

I think he is quite fashion conscious, so he will need to match the car. Good job he doesn't drive for Racing Point?

The change from silver to black was LH's idea.

Not odd really when you consider that all homo sapiens get darker skin when exposed to the sun. ;))) And even NR's can get sun burnt. :D

Would have to be a white Brit with sun burn to match their cars... You see English folks that colour on many beaches in Cape Town in the summer! =))
