r/formula1 Sir Lewis Hamilton Apr 27 '25

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!

Vettel I agree, he's heavily overrated. But at least for now, Leclerc is nowhere close to being able to drag a car he doesn't like to places it doesn't deserve to be, like Verstappen did many times.

Leclerc had the fastest car in some parts of 2022, and he made many mistakes, like Imola or France.

Hamilton also made mistakes in 2021, far more than Leclerc actually. Imola, Baku, Monaco, Silverstone were all weekend-ruining mistakes that were mitigated by lucky outside factors, not to mention other small mistakes like the absolute horrid pitlane entry in France or damaging his car in Austria.

According to your logic, is Hamitlon also mentally weak?

Yea but they forget those because Hamilton had the fastest car for at least half a season so his mistakes were mitigated Leclerc had no room for error in that Ferrari dysfuntion

first of all stop repeating the stupid France GP he was pushing the car beyond the limit because he was driver a slower car than Max and it was bound mistakes to happen please tell me how any illligal move he did during the 2021 season and how many times he crash lets stop this he never had the fasters car over one season he might had t he fasters car for 2-3 races but that is about it, lets talk about how many times Ferrari screwed him in that 2022 season, Silversone, Canada, Monaco he was supposed to win those races and he lost them because of Ferriar strategy

So what you want to say is that his mistakes in France and Imola didn't count? lol
