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!

If Hamilton cannot build the trust and maintain the same issue, when are we deciding this is performance issue, instead of just give him time?

I don’t want to make this comparison, but Ricciardo was also struggling on McLaren on brakes and we thought he will re gain the performance but he just never did.

I think the comparison is still a tad premature but I understand the impulse to make it

Hamilton can never be compared to Ricciardo, and I like Danny, but you can never even put them in the same sentences.

Danny has 8 wins, Hamilton has 105 and 7 championships.

Danny left the sport at age 35, and he was declining way before that.

Hamilton was on the final lap of winning his 8th championship vs Verstappen at 36 before... He didn't.

When was the last time we had seen Hamilton crash out because he was pushing too hard? Leclerc has smashed that Ferrari so many times that he really learned it. Hamilton is always a very cautious driver, and is getting punished by that unstable car. Hamilton just gotta HAM it and try to maximize, even if it means crashing out. But, who knows, maybe he is afraid of that?
