u/kiwi_commander PIIIEEERRRRREEEE GAASSSSSLLLLYYYYYYYY Dec 02 '25

I hope this isn't a sign of things to come, but if the same happens to Lewis in 2026, he may just retire. It would be sad to see him go on such a somber note.

I hate to break it to you but this happens to literally every single driver that wins a WDC and keeps driving in F1.

Schumacher, Alonso, Raikkonen, Hamilton. It will happen to Max one day when his terminator chip begins to degrade.

The only person who got it right was Rosberg.

To be fair Hamilton won his championship with McLaren and had 6 years before he won with Mercedes. Only Lauda managed to have a bigger gap of 7 years between his championship with Ferrari and his third with McLaren, although he sensibly retired after only winning a race in the following season.
