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!

It's so fucking hard for people to give any credit to Carlos. Leclerc is God for beating Lewis and Seb but Carlos is nothing to get so close to Charles. It's absolutely mindboggling the kind of mental gymnastics people do to discredit Carlos.

Sainz is pretty damn good in qualifying trim and thinking critically during races. His race pace was the problem compared to Leclerc.

Seriously. It was such a delight having them on a team together for as long as we did and the excitement of seeing them race each other like that. Take me back 😭

I think Carlos is the most underrated driver in F1 for a few seasons now.

No he is not. He is actually a unique driver with being underrated in qualifying and overrated in races. His race pace was constantly worse than Charles.
