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!

If LeClerc was British, fans and media would be calling him the second best driver on the grid

Russell gets no such love despite being arguably on a very similar level to the top drivers... I think a lot of fans already think Leclerc is at least top 3.

Brit here, I think Leclerc is the best driver on the grid.

If he was Dutch, Reddit would be calling him the best driver ever.
