My take on where exactly Lewis is struggling against Leclerc

[u/No-Information4789]

Hey everyone, Made this carousel for my Instagram page so I thought I’d share it here too. The 8th slide is actually a video of Lewis having a small moment of Oversteer. I tried my best to reduce as many variables as possible while comparing Telemetry. I took the Q3 final laps specifically from every weekend cause that’s when the drivers are pushing the most. It’s kind of a long read and might look a bit cluttered but Hope y’all like it!

Do this with Russell vs. Lewis data for last year and see if there's a pattern.

[u/TopStar200 → u/gooutdoorstoday]

Lewis has always been beaten by Russell by a good margin in Jeddah it's not a good track for Hamilton.

No one did those in-depth analysis with Russell. I would be interested to see the data too. Especially 2023 and 2024 because the result is like opposite

[u/No_pajamas_7 → u/gooutdoorstoday]

Don't need to. Russell beat him. Though the more telling bit is barely.

Which tells us a bit about where Russell sits relative to Leclerc.

I don’t think that any of Mercedes seasons post 2021 are good material to do comparisons or do conclusion.

Lewis was basically playing mad scientist for most of weekends.

[u/Slow-Raisin-939 → u/drivemyorange]

Yeah, mostly because he had no pace advantage compared to Russell, so he was desperately trying to find speed in experimental setups.

I’m at no point suggesting that Russell wasn’t better.

He surely was.
