As Martin Brundle said, F1 will miss Lewis when he's gone. People don't appreciate his skill and pull to F1.

RB trying to win the only way they know how, as per usual
Red Bull and at least one other team complained to the FIA about Herbert
A small smile could not be suppressed in the Verstappen household when it was announced this Wednesday morning that Johnny Herbert will no longer be a steward during Grand Prix weekends with immediate effect. But there was probably also some joy at at least two teams. Indeed, GPblog knows from...

Gosh, I wonder who the second team was?
Indeed. It's a shame that certain fans of a certain team or driver have made it their absolute mission over the last few years to belittle his achievements in the sport.
This goes for every drive though, you've certainly belittled other drivers accomplishments, so whats the problem?
Good chance it's Aston considering how much Alonso absolutely despises Herbert...!
If the car is competitive, I'm hoping Charles takes it.
While no driver deserves hate, I think it's fair criticism that Lewis underperformed relative to his perceived ability - it's the first time he's had a proper dog of a car, and other drivers have had a better showing in similar situations. Ferrari will be an interesting run for him.
Don't think it'll be that noticeable unless you're a fan - he's pretty lowkey.
Yea, he doesn't like to post the articles about TeamLH sending death threats to people. He's the worst type of fan.
He just loves to invent conspiracy theories about Red Bull all the time without any proof. Laughable really and to suggest he's a fan is an insult to every real fan...
Are you not surprised by how quickly the three musketeers got in here? A beacon must have gone out

I suspect many people will respect Hamilton more for his achievements once he's gone; I'm not his biggest fan (I don't really support a "driver") but he's clearly won a huge amount and like his other closest modern competitors (Schumacher and Vettel) he had the luck/judgement to be with teams who were generally at the front end for most of his career; others like Alonso who probably should have more titles have had horrendous luck / judgement with teams! - Lets see how Ferrari goes!
I hated Michael Schumacher when he was in F1 with a passion but now I recognise him for the legend he was; uncompromising, unwilling to give an inch and frankly without his ability to lead and help build a team I don't think Ferrari would have had the success they had in the 2000's (or Mercedes for that matter)

There are too many rose tinted spectacles when it comes to Schumacher. You missed cheating, reckless and frankly dangerous.

I can't disagree with that. But I think he was a product of his time (and maybe even the Senna/Prost era before).
F1 fans who want to watch Mazepin getting punched in the face, will finally get their wish.

Heads up: The Bathurst 12h starts in the next 15-30 mins (should be 15 mins, but start has been delayed). The first stint as the sun comes up looks amazing.

Slightly concerned that we might run out of cars given the size of the entry and rate of attrition
