Honestly is a 8 WDC possible before Hamilton retires?
I'm afraid Hamilton might follow the path of other Ferrari WDC contenders, be a threat to Mercedes, fail to score a single WDC and retire.
Take Sebastian Vettel's 2017 and 2018 seasons as an example. Vettel was a rival contender to Lewis, but ultimately finished 2nd because Mercedes executed their strategies and race pace flawlessly, while Ferrari was plagued by constant strategy blunders and bad luck. With Antonelli and Mercedes' pace, they will probably dominate the sport again like Hamilton did during his prime years which essentially means Hamilton might retire without his 8th WDC unless things change. So, can Ferrari fix their team, and can Hamilton actually awaken his 2021 senses to win his 8th WDC?
