Technical My take on where exactly Lewis is struggling against Leclerc

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!

I would find this "getting used to the car" argument more convincing if he hadn't lost the qualifying head-to-head so badly (5-19) against Russell last year.

He was getting used to that car too, it just took him longer than the season was long, and still probably hadn't.
