And Lewis Hamilton matches Michael Schumacher's 7 titles!

They threw the dice in 2017 with rule changes already to try to stop Merc at great expense.

The technical regulations governing bodywork design were revised for 2017, with the objective of improving lap times by four to five seconds over the 2016 generation of cars.[84] These changes include:[85]
  • Overall width of the car increased from 1,800 mm (70.9 in) to 2,000 mm (78.7 in).[86]
  • Bodywork width increased from 1,400 mm (55.1 in) to 1,600 mm (63.0 in).[86]
  • Front wing width increased from 1,650 mm (65.0 in) to 1,800 mm (70.9 in).
  • Rear wing lowered by 150 mm (5.9 in), from 950 mm (37.4 in) to 800 mm (31.5 in), and moved backwards by 200 mm (7.9 in).
  • Rear diffuser height increased from 125 mm (4.9 in) to 175 mm (6.9 in) and width increased from 1,000 mm (39.4 in) to 1,050 mm (41.3 in), and leading edge moved from the rear wheel centre line to 175 mm (6.9 in) in front of it.[86]
  • The leading edge of the barge boardswas brought forward to allow teams more freedom in controlling airflow.
  • Tyre width increased by 25% to allow cars to generate more mechanical grip. Front tyre width increased from 245 mm (9.6 in) to 305 mm (12.0 in) and rear tyre width increased from 325 mm (12.8 in) to 405 mm (15.9 in).[86]
  • The minimum weight of the car including the driver was raised by 26 kg, from 702 kg to 728 kg.
  • Maximum fuel consumed increased from 100 kg to 105 kg to account for the heavier, wider, and faster cornering cars.[87]
 
I often wondered why so many on here had a seemingly irrational hated of Lewis Hamilton?

Having seen him standing there as a multi millionaire tax exile lecturing the British public about "equality" and "privilege" on SPOTY I can now appreciate why........ :D

Ronnie is a massive bell and has treated players, referees and pundits like crap.

He will never win it.
 
Not sure how it a big deal as one of them is in a coma so who knows how many races he would have won, IMO Schumacher is/could have bee the best driver ever.

Both are arrogant so they have that in common but Schumacher has an excuse for that being German.
