One of Lewis' strengths has always been his ability to get involved in the car design without upsetting the process too much - most drivers just let it happen, but Lewis (like Schumacher did) always wants to know what's going on in the factory... this season with a car he had no input into that clearly wasn't contending, honestly I think he ended up checking out... once he realised the car was going to struggle he only gave 75% - there's no way Leclerc should be outperforming him this regularly.

Next season with the new car is the real test for me. If he's still not competitive, it might be time. :sadbron:

I got bad news for you :mjcry:

Mercedes look like they got their car :francis:
Ferrari isn't' far behind based on run data ,they look monstrous through the corners but lack top speed and acceleration on the straights. Red bull seems to have the engine if not the reliability.

and if Mercedes is at the top, Mclaren shouldn't be far behind. Will make for a crazy season.

Im team Audi, rooting for Alonso though because im basically the same age as him.
Sucks Mercedes got away with that compression nonsense, its going to make a difference this season then they’ll turn around and ban it next season so a lot of teams will have wasted precious money and time on development of tech that wont go anywhere :beli:

I really hope I can pirate the races, I’m not paying Apple shyt to watch :ufdup:

Still struggling with understanding the energy management aspect.

The active aero is cool. Will be interesting to see how drivers deal with corners now that ground effect is gone/neutered

I been very excited about this season. Hoping Mercedes is back to form and dominating. Red Bull looks strong, who knows with Ferrari, although they looked dominant on starts. Curious how the energy management is going to work out. I don't think anyone including the teams know. The first few races I expect I teresting results before teams get a handle on things.

It’s pretty easy to understand. Think of boost and overtake mode as a golden mushroom in Mario kart. You can’t use it until you are either close to an opp or you hit the question mark :pachaha:

Will be a massive step to stop Charles, really depends on how motivated Lewis can become, but on form I would say he can't do it over a season.

But Lewis chanhes when it is a championship at stake so... I hope he proves me wrong.

Tifosi believing again :wow:

The car actually looks good this time finally, it's not copium :yeshrug:

Hami is the goat, but fukk Ferrari

Can never root for those red crying ass hoes

They will fukk off the season on strategy as usual, but I hope Hami is the best driver on the team and they both compete for 2nd in the Constructor's title at least

Mercedes engines will power the WDC this year to the top and don't you ever forget it :ufdup:
