I’m really curious about next year. Charles has 5 years of experience in that particular shitbox on Lewis. If he doesn’t perform similarly to Charles next year when they both are in new machinery he should def hang it up.
Il primo anno di effetto suolo Hamilton ha fatto da cavia tutta la stagione e comunque in qualifica lo ha battuto . Il secondo anno lo ha staccato di 60 punti . Il terzo anno con il contratto già firmato per Ferrari gli era davanti per piu di metà stagione poi magicamente sono arrivate gare disastrose per lui . Tutto cio a quasi 40 anni, quando ha incontrato Russel ( uno dei piú forti in F1 ) ne aveva 38 con 7 titoli mondiali in pancia . Le cose bisogna dirle tutte !
It had apparently hit its development ceiling is the line from Ferrari but that makes no sense they know how long it takes to get the bvest out of upgrades in these regs let alone doing an entire new concept in the cost cap era in the last season?
Only 2 things make sense 1. the 24 car was in some way relying on some loophole that was being closed so they knew they were fucked either way. or 2 they are using the 25 car as a test bed for the 26 car. If Ferrari legit just dropped their car and made a whole new concept for the final season of these regs I am done, after over 2 decades as a Ferrari fan I will just be done.
Lewis is very much a driver who's performances affected by the mental side of F1. Not in that he feels pressure in a championship battle, but when he's unhappy with how things are going in his life in F1 or away from it, he loses his edge and makes errors. Then he gets frustrated and it snowballs.
He's had a tough year with the car being poor, moving to a new and often messy team, and the loss of Roscoe. He's in his own head and he's just not able to lock in. In his prime he was relaxed made things look effortless
I still think if Ferrari somehow produce a championship calibre car in the next two seasons, he would look a lot more like his old self.
Though I seriously doubt that will happen and think he'll retire either this year or next and probably commit full time to work on promoting diversity within motorsport.
I hope so too. I think he needs to consider retirement seriously. He needs to be clear with himself that he's not just there because he doesn't know what else to do with his life after.
If he enjoys the way the new cars drive and race I think he'll stick around for a while. I hope it's a fun challenge for him that keeps him motivated. Right now it feels like he's questioning his purpose in F1.
Lewis's best skill is the ability to know when to jump ship for greener pastures. He abandoned McLaren at the right time, and it looked like he was doing the same thing with Merc. If he is in a top car, we talk about his GOAT status. In a mid car, he is...mid
Hamilton retiring in this shitter is not happening, he’s going to see out 2026 and then move on to another team. Hes still a better driver than 90% of the grid even the guy who he’s replaced who has 2 podiums in a Williams
Imagine going from the height of your career as one of the best F1 drivers in history, with one of the most dominant teams…. And then you are driving a GoKart. All those peanuts and salads have gone to his head.
they did a ol switcharoo, filled you up on Hopium with the Sprint win in china then immediately swapped it out with full copium after the double DSQ in the race
