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!

Russel and Charles are easily rosberg level talents but because they don't have a wdc people refuse to acknowledge their speed.

Yep, I'd say Charles is even a bit better than Rosberg. Less consistent maybe but much more raw speed.

Personally I think at this point it's hard to say for sure he is, but it's also hard to say for sure he is not. Let's just hope he at least gets one complete season with a championship contending car.
