F1 Restart

[robinthehood]

Yeah, i'd stay away from all forms of media if I didnt want to know the result.
I managed it with the PGA highlights yesterday, despite looking on the forum, its shows how little Pro golf is discussed ??

Another world class display from Lewis, Botas top all weekend, but when it matters Hamitton sticks it on pole with the last lap of the day, it sounded like Bottas was going to cry in the interview!

Some people may not like him but you can't deny his ability.
A new track and he still beats everyone.
Surprising news about Grosjean and Magnusson, but the track will be a safer place without them.
I hope Hulkenberg gets one of the seats

He is deffo a class act. To pull out the lap you need from time to time is very difficult, to be able to do it week after week when you need it most is what separates him from the rest.

Bottas must be wondering what he has to do to beat him.

Yeah Bottas likes to bemoan his luck, but he's had plenty of chances to win more races and not taken them.

92 GPs. Amazing achievement to become the most successful race winner of all time. Is LH undervalued in this country? Yes.

May be he needs to live here? Just saying.

Another great win, you're correct he is undervalued, which is a shame.

Just saying what? Where he lives is irrelevant.

Jim Clark moved to Paris for tax purposes, no-one thought any worse of him.

Not really. If you live in GB, pay taxes in GB, you might be viewed as a Brit. Live in a tax haven, you are never going to be viewed in the same way as someone who lives in the UK.

Me? I am a fan of his F1 driving, but I still view him as a tax dodger, and as such, anything else he waffles on about, I am not listening to.

So if you play on the PGA tour, you should commute from the UK?

Not really practical.

Hamilton is on a global schedule, he could domicile anywhere. He has chosen to live in a tax free principality. One could argue that his day job is in the UK, where his team is based, but no, he lives in Monaco.

His day job is not in the UK. There are a set number of testing days in pre-season and none of them are in the UK. In normal circumstances, the only time Hamilton drives an F1 car on UK soil is at the British GP and F1 drivers rarely visit the factory either in pre-season or throughout the season.

You are of course free to hold your view re. him choosing a tax haven to set up home, I have no issues with that view at all.

Yet Lewis is still in the top something.0% of tax payers in the UK.

Name me one person that pays more tax than they absolutely have to?

At various times most of the leading British drivers have been domiciled outside of the UK.

Stewart in Switzerland, Mansel on the Isle of Man, Coulthard and Button in Monaco etc;

Those that remained in this country took full advantage of tax avoidance schemes.

Presumably you feel similarly towards them.

And where did arsenal pay their players from?
Hamilton is the best there has been.

I can see that. Ignoring the tax issue as a separate subject, the fact that he isn't a UK resident means he isn't prominent within the UK and hence doesn't have exposure and is 'undervalued'.

92 wins.. staggering and at the time no one thought Schumacher would ever be caught , now it looks like Lewis could well go on to 100+
