Lewis Hamilton met up with his former team mate George Russell and the driver who took over his Mercedes seat, Andrea Kimi Antonelli, during last weekend’s Spanish Grand Prix.
Neither Hamilton’s new team nor his former employer has enjoyed much success so far since they went their separate ways. Mercedes are yet to win a grand prix this year, as are Ferrari, though Hamilton picked up a win in one of the two sprint races held so far.

Kimi smiles politely while a middle-aged driver bangs on about how wonderful his varifocals are.

As a varifocal-wearing well-into-middle-age guy, in a sport where we have in recent years had a large influx of eager youngsters, I have one word for you: OUCH !

Accurate. Question is whether the caption competition judge is old enough to appreciate this one. We shall see. Blurily.

Lewis: “I’ve decided. I’m getting back behind the wheel of a Mercedes.”
George: “Me and Kimi are contracted for next year, Lewis.”
Lewis: “What? Not your cars. I meant the safety car.”

Toto said that Kimi’s future would be bright, but this is ridiculous! His future so bright, we have to wear shades.
