A sign that Hamilton's racecraft, as opposed to outright pace, is where his talent really lies?
I guess Hamilton's side of the garage is doing something right! Be it him, his engineers or all of the above. Someone who has more time on their hands could do statistical analysis between the two drivers in the same team for a given race to see what is going on (pros and cons of each driver). I am sure the teams do that anyhow. Of course leading from the front gives you more chances to have a cleaner and less obstructed race (even if everyone has to deal with traffic).

So Force India or whatever they are called now ran an as yet unconfirmed for 2019 driver in the Abu Dhabi post season tests... by the name of Lance Stroll. And he lapped quicker than Verstappen and Perez.

Of course we dont know what tyres or engine modes were in use.

It would be funny if Mr Stroll comes out and smacks his more fancied teammate next year

Perhaps so. Although I think the main reason is that, while he has enough to do testing, he wouldn’t be able to be a reserve driver if the need arose.

Gasly and Leclerc were also faster than their team mates - interesting times.

Early indications of a possible mid year replacement of a mentally traumatised Bottas by Ocon??

I think anyone would lose heart, having to play second fiddle to Hamilton for two seasons in a row.

It's been a long time since 'moral attitude' had any relevance at all in motor racing.

With Stroll's confirmation at Racing point FI we now have a full line up of next years drivers before December (just!).

http://classic.autosport.com/news/report.php/id/140445

Next year will see the biggest amount of driver changes for some time with just 2 teams retaining their 2018 line up and 4 teams with completely new drivers and the other 4 replacing one of theirs.
It will be interesting to see who has made the right moves in a few months time.

Fair point.... by that scenario Albon was actually born and bred / grew up in the UK, but races under a Thai license due to his Mother's Nationality.

My listing was aimed at the nationality/flag they for whatever reason race under.
