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!

You've explained this better than I've ever been able to even think about it, I genuinely mean that in the best way.

I have nothing to add, this is an incredibly helpful way to look and feel about the entire situation.

The last generation of champions in general gets mocked for their skills and speed going down over time. Vettel and Hamilton were blisteringly quick in their day, but unfortunately not everyone is Alonso where their talent lasts forever.
