Lewis Hamilton's team flies F1 car out to ill 'spirit angel' boy

A Formula One car was sent to the home of a five-year-old boy with a rare form of terminal cancer after he inspired Lewis Hamilton's victory in the Spanish Grand Prix.

Harry Shaw, from Redhill, Surrey, sent Hamilton a good luck message on Instagram from his hospital bed.

The youngster has since moved back to his home for his final days.

Hamilton described Harry as his "spirit angel" as he dedicated his victory to him on Sunday.

Mercedes later arranged for one of its cars to be flown to Harry's home, where he is also expected to be presented with Hamilton's winning trophy from the Barcelona race.

Amazing talent from the team to fly a car

The Dutch GP is officially back in 2020

This quote from Jean Todt is a little concerning:

There is now a lot of preparation needed to bring the circuit up to the required safety standards to host a Formula 1 race.

Isn't that something that should be done before they agree to race there?

Niki Lauda has died at the age of 70 after kidney complications.

True legend of the sport.

[Lineker]

He had been ill for such a long time. So sad. Absolute legend.

[Adam]

Very sad news, Niki is one of the greats and a remarkable person too. 

[Bobfoc]

He was a very skilled driver and always seemed like a gracious person.

[Lineker]

Stonking lap by Hamilton to put it on pole. Once again though Ferrari shoot themselves in the foot - Leclerc out on Q1 in his home race after topping FP3!

[Chris2K]

Gasly has been given a three place grid penalty for perhaps the most obvious impediment ever on Grosjean. It caused Grosjean to yell "Fuck" repeatedly into his radio for ten seconds.

[Chris2K]

I'd usually defend Hamilton, but he has been insufferable this race with his constant moaning. It's Monaco, nobody's going to overtake you, just drive the damn car.

[Lineker]

Impressive defensive drive performance though.

Turns out Max was put in the wrong torque setting before the race and they couldn't change it, which would explain a little bit more why he couldn't overtake Lewis.

[Lineker]

Torque about unfortunate.

Finally - a pole for Vettel and Ferrari!

[Chris2K]

K-Mag just got a right telling off from Gunther Steiner for having the nerve to complain about his car under-performing, the car which he put in the wall yesterday and smashed to pieces.

 

And that penalty for Vettel is just ridiculous.

[The Lusophone]

Farcical, the whole thing.

[Adam]

F1 has had it, hasn't it.

By cutting across Hamilton, Vettel stopped him from potentially getting in front.

Plus F1 has had it for about 20 years.
