Lewis Hamilton had expressed his frustration to Mercedes

Seven-time Formula 1 world champion Lewis Hamilton expressed his frustration with Mercedes last season. Despite his legendary status in the sport, Hamilton revealed that his suggestions for improving the car’s performance were ignored before the 2023 season, we learn in the latest season of Netflix’s excellent documentary series Drive to Survive.

Hamilton spoke candidly about the events leading up to the 2023 season, recalling the path his team would have taken if they didn’t make significant changes to the car’s design. Hamilton recounted in the documentary that he had complained to his team, asking them to “look at these changes” and “do something”. He was told that the engineers “knew exactly what they were doing”. Hamilton said the discrepancy had led to a frustrating moment.

Hamilton’s concerns proved well-founded as the season progressed. Hamilton’s frustration is evident in episode 6, entitled Leap of Faith. Here, he shares his feelings about the team’s performance, declaring, “I don’t remember winning. To be honest!”

Despite all his efforts to recapture his former glory, the Brit felt powerless in the face of persistent car problems. Hamilton’s dissatisfaction on the radio after the Monte Carlo race, where he finished fourth, proved a particularly telling moment. The rear of the car was identified as his weak point. He criticized the rear wing, calling it “really like a barndoor, very draggy”, and acknowledged that the problems were nothing new. He referred to a series of problems that have gone unresolved for several seasons.

Hamilton showed his loyalty to Mercedes by signing a two-year contract extension later that year, regardless of what happened at the 2023 race. He spoke on the show of a leap of faith and his unshakeable belief that the team could build a good car.

Then, in a shocking turn of events, Hamilton announced instead that he would be switching to Ferrari by 2025. Despite his loyalty and commitment to Mercedes, he confirmed this decision. Hamilton’s decision to leave Mercedes and join Charles Leclerc will mark the end of a chapter for him.

Getty Images

As fans ponder the impact of Hamilton’s revelations and his impending departure from Mercedes, it’s important to remember that his final season with the Silver Arrows will take place this year. Hamilton’s decision to switch to Ferrari is a new intrigue in the ever-evolving story of Formula 1.

The series Drive to Survive, which gives an inside look at the turbulent dynamics of Formula 1 teams, bears witness to this.

Season 6 is available on Netflix right now.

Auston Matthews in the footsteps of Selanne and Mogilny

In the Toronto Maple Leafs’ 6-3 win over the Arizona Coyotes, who are riding a winless streak in their last ten games, Auston Matthews scored twice to take his goal total to 51.

The Leafs’ No. 34 has now scored 51 goals in just 54 games, which would put him on track for a colossal 77-goal campaign.

His 51 goals also make him only the second player in the history of the Toronto franchise to break the 50-goal mark on two occasions. Rick Vaive remains the first to achieve this feat, having done so on three occasions.

Incidentally, only four players have reached the 50-goal mark in the Leafs’ history: Matthews, Vaive, Dave Andreychuk and Gary Leeman.

If he keeps up this pace, Matthews could become the first player since Alexander Mogilny and Teemu Selanne to reach the 76-goal mark. We’re talking here about the 1992-93 season – that’s a long way off!

And that’s not all. With this kind of output, Matthews could knock out Alexander Ovechkin and also the Wonder, Wayne Gretzky. His pace after a total of 530 NHL games is higher than the Czar‘s, no less:

It’s worth pointing out that this monstrous statistic dates back to February 12, and since then, Matthews’ pace has increased slightly.

If, at 38, Ovechkin is just behind Gretzky (838 goals versus 894), Matthews will certainly be doing the same in a decade’s time. At 26, he has no fewer than 350 goals on his scorecard, which is still off the charts.

Cyclists attacked by a cougar

It was a nightmare for a group of cyclists on a peaceful ride when they were attacked by a cougar east of Seattle, Washington. A 60-year-old woman in the group sustained serious injuries to her neck, face and jaw during the horrific experience.

According to witnesses, two cougars were reported shortly before the attack on a group of cyclists. The cyclists used a bicycle to contain the animal until help arrived. One cougar was shot by wildlife officers, but the search for the second has so far been unsuccessful.

A tragedy was narrowly averted; the victim, despite severe upper body injuries, is in stable condition at Harborview Medical Center.

In the event of an animal attack, the wildlife agency recommends remaining aggressive, speaking firmly and using any available object to fight the beast.

Cougar attacks are very rare. According to one study, over the past 100 years, Washington State has recorded just two fatal attacks and around 20 encounters resulting in injury.

Ranking of the worst presidents: Where are Biden and Trump?

Recent polls by respected organizations have ranked Trump at the bottom of the list of U.S. presidents, good last and officially the worst president in history, an unflattering ranking for the 45th President of the United States while Biden receives the 14th position.

Once again, Donald Trump is ranked as the worst U.S. president according to this latest survey by the Presidential Greatness Project, repeating a title already awarded in the past. This position highlights a tumultuous and controversial period in American history, made all the more remarkable by the fact that Trump remains the top Republican choice.

Getty Images

Historical surveys reveal trends influencing the assessment of presidential legacy. Barack Obama’s rise to 10th and Joe Biden’s debut at 14th illustrate the rise in popularity of recent Democratic presidents.

The popularity of many Republican presidents has declined, possibly due to the adoption of new criteria by experts to evaluate presidential performance. In particular, attitudes towards justice and equality have exerted a significant influence.

Getty Images

Abraham Lincoln, often considered the best American president, maintains his position at the top of these polls.

Despite these ratings, Trump remains a major GOP player and is the presumptive presidential nominee for 2024. A C-SPAN survey, broadening the participation of historians for greater diversity, also positioned him at the bottom of the rankings, adding an unenviable perspective to the former president’s overall assessment.

Getty Images

It remains to be seen how Donald Trump’s turbulent presidency will fit into the long history of the United States, and whether or not future assessments will present the same perspective.
