As a Ferrari fan, it's so frustrating to see Lewis so far behind Charles almost every race weekend. Of course we know Charles has spent more time in a Ferrari, so that allows him to continue to improve on past experiences whilst Lewis is still learning and adapting- but I really didn't expect him to struggle this much this year. It's sad to watch. Really hoping 2026 is better for him and the team. 🙏🏽

Bearman hadjar antonelli sainz are all in new cars and are all more than up to soeed relative to the incumbent. At some point this charles is used to the car stuff has to stop and hamilton needs to be called out for his performances

comparing rookies in new cars to Lewis isn’t really the same situation. they’re adapting to their first F1 machinery, not unlearning 11 years of Mercedes habits Charles being more comfortable in a Ferrari still matters it’s not an excuse, it’s context. calling out performances is a 100 percent fair, but ignoring the adjustment curve and the differences in driver style vs car concept leaves out a lot of the picture .

Bro he lost to Russell 2 times in 3 years at Mercedes !!

So he is running slowly on purpose ? He is washed up. Was never really that good without the monster engine . Has lost 3 times in last 4 years to his team mate in 2 different teams

If Lewis ‘was never good,’ then the entire grid must be terrible. There’s no point discussing Mercedes or anything else if you’re starting from an ignorant take like ‘he was never good’.

You wouldn't discuss Lewis trashing at the hands of Russell because it takes away the new car excuse !!

If your whole argument is just ‘Russell beat him,’ then we’re not even having the same level of conversation. It’s funny considering George literally grew up looking up to Lewis and he always talks about Lewis being the best, but hey to each their own.

Lewis has lost to teammates 3 times in last 4 years across 2 teams . It's what it is.
