I’ve been an F1 fan since I was little. But only recently has the racing got this hot 😍

@DownTheStreet ha he looks like Sid the sloth from Ice age

@DownTheStreet

His dad is the dick of the pitlane @SirenCalledLuce

@DownTheStreet Jos was alright as a driver but yes he’s a weird pushy dad. Lewis’s dad was a bell end too.

My kid never karted against infinitely-funded max, but his dad was a legend for being a bully and asshole to anyone at the track. In F1 it’s not much different which is why Horner put a lid on him @SirenCalledLuce

@DownTheStreet hmmm okay

@SirenCalledLuce Do tell more about Lewis' Dad's bellend-ness, please. :-)

@TheThinker I think he decided he knew how to run McLaren better than McLaren did. I’m not sure if it’s true but I heard Lewis banded him from the garage for causing ill feeling between him and his team.

Didn’t Lewis fire him because he was pissing money away and chasing tail everywhere?@TheThinker

@DownTheStreet Ha I didn’t hear that but it’s a fun story.

Goes back to the days when his dad crashed his McLaren road car thru a hedge and just left it there @SirenCalledLuce

@DownTheStreet @SirenCalledLuce
Yeah I knew there was a big split between them, and that Lewis fired him as his manager, but I never knew the story behind it. Didn't know about the road car incident!

@TheThinker I’m guess greed had a fair bit to do with it and LH didn’t appreciate his dad treating him like a commodity he could just sell to the highest bidder if he didn’t get his own way.
