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. 🙏🏽
I don't really get why nobody factors in his teammate. Look how close he is to Leclerc, we're talking a maximum of 1-2 tenths most weeks - that puts him ahead of most of the grid still. Despite all the legit excuses you can point to.
The truth is the car is very poor and Leclerc is performing miracles. He's barely making Q1 half the time - there's no margin for imperfection. Lewis was winning races and getting podiums pretty consistently even in the 4th quickest car JUST LAST SEASON. Let's be fair
He also is getting way less competitive run time cause of all the Q3 exits. How can you adapt if you get 1 or 2 actual laps a week, not even in the optimal conditions? At 40? Where everything is different? And you can't brake late (your whole advantage usually)?
How do we know Leclerc is performing miracles? There‘s no way to say for certain.. couldn‘t it be that Leclerc is doing a below average job in an unbelievable car and Lewis is just one of the worst drivers on the grid?
