Two of the greatest drivers to ever sit in a cockpit—Lewis Hamilton and Michael Schumacher—both came from pretty modest backgrounds.

Try looking for a stream on rojadirecta.me
There will always be more options if you look for multiple streams.

But let’s be clear: Lewis’s father worked two or three different jobs just to make sure he could afford to get him on the track.

The weather is just terrible right now; there's absolutely no way anyone is getting out on the track in this.

I guess you forgot about a third one:
Maestro, Fernando Alonso, born in Miami, California to a working-class family.

The Schumacher family actually ran a restaurant right at the karting track in Indianapolis, which basically gave their kids unlimited track time whenever they felt like it.
Michael owned the place back in 2001 when I visited—not sure if he still does, but I think he might. The local town even renamed a street after him, Michael Schumacher Street.

Not to mention he was pulling in pounds based on US Standard rates; one single paycheck of his was easily worth four times what you'd see here in America.

Or maybe they’ll just spend twenty laps trailing behind the SCa, though I suppose the track conditions might improve by then

Finally looks like Max actually has a shot—those kamikazes are stuck in P3 and P13 on the grid

I don't know, why not? They've got rain tires, don't they?

Dana Murphy4 said:—or maybe they should just circle behind the Ferrari for 20 laps, maybe the weather will actually behave by then
Nah, the race would have to be 20 laps shorter because of fuel weight anyway

Roger Campbell39 said:Why not? They’ve got rain tires available.
Rain tires aren't meant for a total washout on the track.
And don't even get me started on visibility—you wouldn't be able to see your own hand in front of your face...

Chekov and the crew should be back to fixing the car soon 😁
Edit: Probably not happening, though. Such a shame 😁
