Shame that you defended Lulu the rat
Charles : « Lewis en manque de confiance ? Ce n’est pas juste de dire ça. Il se fait enlever son temps pour une erreur de jugement au millimètre près, ça arrive. Il était en forme en SQ. On a une voiture qui est compliquée à conduire, qui est aussi très sensible. »

And this is exactly the problem with Lewis fans. You genuinely believe you’re above everyone else because of your driver’s achievements, as if you personally won those seven championships. You constantly ride the coattails of his success while dismissing everyone else’s talent.
You claim teammate battles don’t matter, yet every time Lewis finishes behind his teammate, you lot have a complete meltdown. Suddenly there are a thousand excuses. And spare me the whole “he’s 41” narrative. That gimmick is for the birds. Modern F1 cars are still physically demanding, but they’re less punishing in certain respects than cars from previous generations. Funny how age only becomes an issue when Lewis gets beaten.
And your little eight-season comparison is hilarious. You’re deliberately excluding Hamilton’s championship-winning seasons while still cherry-picking the years that suit your argument, completely ignoring the machinery each driver had available. Leclerc hasn’t spent years driving a car capable of dominating the championship the way Lewis did at Mercedes. Comparing win totals without considering the competitiveness of their cars is intellectually dishonest.
Lewis has managed just three wins since the beginning of 2022. Does that suddenly mean he’s forgotten how to drive? Of course not. It means the car matters, something Lewis fans spent years refusing to acknowledge when he was winning everything.
Every driver needs a championship-caliber car to consistently fight for titles, including your precious Lewis Hamilton. Seven championships don’t magically make him immune to that reality.
And the funniest part is that you claim Leclerc has accomplished nothing and isn’t worth discussing, yet here you are inventing hypothetical career comparisons just to discredit him.
Nobody is denying Lewis’s legacy. You keep responding with achievements from years ago because you can’t separate the Lewis of today from the Lewis who dominated in a Mercedes.
You can keep living in 2014–2020. The rest of us are watching what’s happening on track today.
No way this is real lol so they didn’t pit Charles to keep it fair with Lewis ?? That makes no sense, I don’t believe Ferrari would sabotage Charles, never believed in any sabotage theories for both drivers
They split strategies all the time lol
🚨La scelta delle gomme intermedie a inizio gara da parte della Ferrari é una scelta sbagliata, ma non pazza: buona parte dei team ha optato, infatti, per le slick, come anche McLaren. Ciò che si può criticare é perché dopo il giro di formazione, quando era chiaro che la scelta fosse sbagliata, non sono rientrati ai box. Sembra, anche dalle interviste, che questo sia dovuto alla volontà di garantire una certa equità tra i piloti che sono partiti entrambi con le intermedie: entrambi bene o entrambi male, senza sfavorire uno dei due.

Not all Charles fans are delusional
We hold him to very high standards and today was “objectively” bad
With everything being said, he’s only 23 points behind Lewis who is having his best season since 2021 and a top 3 drivers in 2026
Charles needs to step it up!!!
Considering how politically smart Lewis is, he is failing to understand how things work at Ferrari
If he would stop making public statements pointing fingers, his life would be much easier
Point the blame but do it internally for gods sake
🔴 Ferrari : Frédéric Vasseur salue le soutien public de ses dirigeants et appelle à retrouver son calme et à se concentrer sur son travail.
- "Quand on voit tout le bruit et toutes les rumeurs dans la presse toute la semaine, au niveau de l'équipe, nous devons travailler sereinement, et ce n'était absolument pas le cas. Je pense que le communiqué était nécessaire, il fallait faire quelque chose, sinon cela aurait été la même chose ce week-end. Honnêtement, le gros problème que nous avons aujourd'hui, c'est la stabilité, la sérénité dans l'équipe, la concentration dont nous devons faire preuve et le fait de ne pas avoir ce genre de questions toute la journée".
- "Concernant le commentaire de Lewis, je pense que ce serait une erreur de pointer du doigt quelqu'un ou quelque chose. Dans les bons moments, nous gagnons en équipe. Dans les mauvais moments, nous souffrons en équipe. Et je ne veux pas parler d'un individu en particulier ou de quoi que ce soit d'autre. Honnêtement, je pense que ce serait une énorme erreur de commencer à ne plus être unis".
- "Nous avons connu un bon début de saison. Bien sûr, ce n'est pas suffisant, nous voulons en faire davantage, nous voulons gagner davantage, nous voulons remporter le championnat. Mais au bout du compte, nous avons connu un début positif. Nous sommes en difficulté sur les deux ou trois derniers Grands Prix, mais nous espérons revenir bientôt avec les évolutions et retrouver notre niveau de performance".

So many drivers gained speed over the winter break
This explains it perfectly
Max Verstappen on the issues with the driving style required from the 2026 cars on @MattP1Tommy
“The fast drivers don’t drive like that. Especially also in qualifying, you’re stuck in a certain place where you just physically almost can’t make a difference cause you have to drive it in a certain way that almost everyone can.”
Since 2008, Ferrari had the best chance to win constructors in 2024 and was only 14 points away from it
Fred is the only TP that got this close to it
People may forget but a lot of us won’t
Shame that ferrari forgot

My two cents on the SF-26's overly stiff platform and poor ride over the last few races.
FTM.
I'll keep it shot and sweet. I think the FTM is the source of some of the bad ride we've seen from the SF-26 as of late.
The FTM uses the exhaust gases to generate upwash, which adds support to the central section of the diffuser and rear wing.
More upwash means you can crank the aero surfaces a bit harder, because the exhaust gases are acting as aerodynamic support.
And as they've pushed their floor, diffuser, and rear wing surfaces more and more as they develop the car, the aero map has become incredibly peaky.
How do you tame a peaky car? Add stiffness. It would seem reasonable to think this is one of the many reasons the car has become incredibly poor as of late in these low-grip, heavy-traction circuits that favour a softer-sprung car. Trying to take stiffness out would put the car in a tricky place balance-wise.
In addition to that, the less surprising one would be aggressive torque mappings to mask the power deficit.
The regression in ride, bump, and kerb compliance is very clear to see. It also gives reason to believe it's why it generally performs well at tracks that are these front-limited, high-speed circuits even with the power deficit. Neither the aggressive power delivery nor overly stiff platform are punished at those tracks.
They’re physically easier because high speed corners are pretty much charging stations now and should benefit lewis since they are his biggest weakness
#AzerbaijanGP 🇦🇿 | Lewis Hamilton on F1 shortening races for 2027:
“Shortening the races makes absolutely no sense to me.”
“I think the races should be longer because the races are physically easier than ever before. We have a lot of races where it’s only a one-stop, it’s not particularly challenging.”
