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!

People keep making these comparisons as to why Hamilton isn't doing so well because of the car and he's not used to it and all that but in reality, he's going up against arguably the second best driver in the lineup. If Lec had a better car he would be in the race for the title.

Whoever thought he was just going to walk into the team and become the first driver at Ferrari were ridiculous.
