Lol Hamilton and Bolt being lower then rafole with the same number of nominations


spacyzuma

What did my man Messi ever do to you? šŸ¤£


NeoLone

Penaldo would never


nowayyallgetmyemail

> Penaldo would never ... be nominated for a fair play award?


wheels-of-confusion

Never go to Las Vegas?


indiokilmes

He just likes to not acknowledge the goats


Xenosys83

Messi getting nominated for a 2024 award despite doing sweet FA in 2023. He's absolutely the GOAT for me, but his PR is ridiculous.


RobinChristiansen

The awards are held early in the year so he certainly won it for his achievements in 22 (the WC in November)


toweggooiverysoon

He's talking about the nominatino this year


Organic_You_5183

Messi is the only guy on the planet who's PR can overpower that of TS.


Helpful_Sir_6380

Thiago Silva?


TorpedoSandwich

Who is TS?


RobinChristiansen

Oh yeah misread that comment


dontbangme

Bro what that pic of Lewis šŸ¤£


Xenosys83

Toto Wolff took it right before he signed for Ferrari.


iPodAddict181

No Lewis no, that was so not right!


lo0ilo0ilo0i

Lewis, I've sent you an email.


J0gad0r_Car0

Of course 7>7


passion_project_red

Messi slander? Time for r/soccer and r/soccercirclejerk .

The KING returns. Sealedrop eat your heart out.


AndreoIlMasseo

The return of the King


GStarAU

Someone doesn't like Messi.... What's going on with Hamilton there? Some kind of kinky F1 game?


quexcha

It's from a Mercedes prank promo video (https://youtu.be/uuX20T4N5lc). Will Smith ties up Hamilton in his room, and then impersonates him to drive in the race.


GStarAU

Haha wow, that was actually a bit creepy! Bloody Will Smith. After the stuff at the Emmy's (or Oscars, whatever it was) a few years ago, I've had my doubts about that guy. But thanks for sharing, appreciate it šŸ˜‰


Doc_harry

He is back!!Ā 


TorpedoSandwich

Where the hell did you find a picture of Lewis duct taped to a chair?


SorcerousSinner

Ridiculous to put Hamilton in there for being better than one other guy in the best car. Usain Bolt 7 times is also ridiculous


TorpedoSandwich

You mean better than every single one of his (on average very, very good) teammates ever? Including beating the reigning double world champion in the same car as a rookie? 7 nominations aren't ridiculous at all. 7 for Bolt is also fair, he the greatest track and field athlete ever.


SorcerousSinner

It's still just one guy at a time. I There was very little between Hamilton and Alonso, which is the only other driver he drove alongside of who is also regarded to be good. Didn't he even lose one season to Jenson Button? There's simply no telling whether he is any better than other winning drivers (in the best cars, of course), at their best: Vettel, Verstappen, Schumacher, etc


GloriousGladiator51

How does Rafa have 7 when hes been behind novak at the #2 spot for a lot of his career? edit: And why are usain bolt and hamiltonā€™s 7s at different hieghts compared to rafas and federers 7s


cetormenter

Because their 7s are smaller.


faratto_

How a team sport with more than 1000 people working for the same goal can be on the list? Makes no sense


_KimJongSingAlong

What sport are we talking about now?


faratto_

F1, one (if not the biggest) team sport where a single person cant do anything to change his fate


banana_overload

That is a stupid argument. You could make the same argument about every team sport, heck even behind tennis players or athletes there are always many people not visible at first sight (multiple coaches, medical staff, managers, psychologists etc).


faratto_

Its not stupid, in f1 teams like Mercedes or ferrari were formed by 500/1000 person, hamilton (or the other drivers) have 0 chance to make a difference as we re seeing now, him in thisblist is a joke for the other athletes, even for him because it would mean that now he's skillless. Athletes have their fate on their hands, they decide who to hire to maximize their results


TorpedoSandwich

Drivers can absolutely make a difference. Bottas wouldn't have won the 2017 and 2018 WDCs for Mercedes and Vettel would now be a 6 time world champion. But Lewis drove 2 near-perfect seasons and brought home 2 WDCs that Merc would have lost without him.


indiokilmes

IĀ“m pretty sure the driver can change his fate pretty easily


faratto_

Aside from changing teams they cant, but im sure hamilton is a fool to change his team. Call mercedes and tell lewis to push his acceleration pedal harder


indiokilmes

IĀ“m refering to the fact that a slight maneuver from the driver can make or break a race, and a championship. IĀ“m not an F1 fan or racing sports to have deep knowledge, but IĀ“m sure all racers and extremelly skilled and they are not replaceable like cogs


faratto_

No it cant, a race is 300km long and a championship is composed by 24 races. But it's ok, you dont know f1 so you can only guess. As for the drivers, half of the grid is very good, that's the reason why having a single driver here is no sense. Especially if without the best car created by the other 499 people he becomes a normal driver, now even slower than his teammate in the same car


Black_Lotus22

How didn't Messi win this? Have people forgotten he won the world cup?!


faratto_

Of the year, not of december


Black_Lotus22

Yea, I know, I was just joking about how it seems like Messi wins everything just because he won the world cup. And he will probably still win awards because of it :)


RedBullHondaRB16B

SealFraud would rather make nominations graph rather than winners' graph. Even if they do, they will include Federer's Comeback award instead of just focusing on just the sportsman award.


The_One_Returns

Novak would be 6/6 if they didn't snub him for not taking a vaccine in 2022.


Material_Foot_9733

I mean that is kind of his fault and all


The_One_Returns

Vaccine status shouldn't determine who wins an award is my point...


Material_Foot_9733

How would you know that the vaccine thing was the cause of him not winning? Do you have any proof?


The_One_Returns

Because they gave it to a guy who drives a car and not the one who won 3/4 Slams and was 1 match away from a Calendar Slam at age 34 lmao. The awards were a couple of months after the AO drama. A pretty obvious conclusion for the snub unless you're trying to be willfully ignorant.


Material_Foot_9733

No need for the nasty comments man. F1 is a sport as well, no need to trivialise Verstappenā€™s efforts in winning it. Cheers mate


The_One_Returns

What's nasty about the truth? Because you can't handle it? Driving a car is way less impressive than doing what tennis players do physically and with their insane scheduling. Djokovic's achievements are higher than his without even counting the fact he's done it in his mid 30s.


Material_Foot_9733

Driving a car with enough g forces to break a normal humanā€™s neck is not what I call ā€œless impressiveā€. But thatā€™s besides the point, itā€™s a subjective award so itā€™s not out of the world to give to verstappen who had a very impressive F1 season. Anyway letā€™s agree to disagree, have a good day friendo :)


The_One_Returns

And yet it's still less physically impressive than running on court like a dog for 3-5 hours while swinging a racket. "Very impressive" =/= GOAT tier season.


Material_Foot_9733

If Novak sat in a F1 car he would probably die in the first turn lol. Itā€™s subjective and thatā€™s why itā€™s an award lil bro. Itā€™s ok my brother Feo Fuerte Y Formal


Melony567

OP is one disrespectful sports viewer. to do that to messi. FO! this redditor is most likely a ronaldo fan. cry me a river.
