Charles Leclerc’s “nightmare” at Ferrari seems set to worsen in 2025. This season has been a rollercoaster for him, plagued by reliability issues, crashes, and pit stop errors, leading to disappointing results. On the flip side, Lewis Hamilton has experienced a remarkable resurgence at Mercedes. With continuous car upgrades and a recent Grand Prix win, Hamilton has put his lengthy winless streak behind him, sparking intense speculation about the future of his rumored Ferrari deal. Internal dynamics at Ferrari are complex and tense, with Leclerc struggling to assert himself as the team's leader amidst Carlos Sainz's consistent point-scoring and technical team upheavals, including the departure of their technical director to Aston Martin.
Once Hamilton joins Ferrari, his championship pedigree and inspiring presence could overshadow Leclerc, potentially demoralizing him. This move could ignite fan debates and tensions, especially if team orders favor one driver over the other. The relationship between Hamilton and Leclerc, both on and off the track, will be crucial in maintaining team harmony and achieving success. Will Ferrari manage to navigate these challenges and emerge stronger? How will these dynamics unfold as the season progresses? Dive into the full analysis in our latest video! Get all the insights on Charles Leclerc, Ferrari's struggles, Lewis Hamilton's comeback, and the future of F1. Don't miss out!

hallo hallo reference in the beginning ?
He'll be regretting it during his first 20 second pit
This is the only thing that anyone can predict accurately.
Or just plain bad strategy 🙄
Things are going to get exceedingly ugly when Lewis' overly developed persecution complex collides with Ferrari's equally entrenched operational incompetence.
Orrr when they put him on hards when the track is clearly wet
@@prefect742he’ll be wiping his tears with the money ferrari paying him.
It’s sad seeing Charles go from 31 points behind Verstapen in second. to over 100 in third in just a couple of races. this is why it hurts being a Ferrari fan
2022 repeat.
i actually had hope man
This summer is really hot.
May I drink your tears?
reminds me of 2010. Alonso had a 21 pts lead over Vettel with 2 rounds to go.
You are entering a world of pain.
Lewis needs to start practicing driving in the dry on wets while reciting the strategy alphabet in Italian.
Good thing that Hamilton is someone who likes to decide his strategy by himself and does not believe his team blindly.
@@petouser Which is why Sainz is the best thing Ferrari has going for it right now.
Right like Lewis didn’t start doing this yesterday. He knows good strategy.
"Copy understood... we are checking."
"Plan F, we are going to plan F."
Bro is living in an eternal nightmare
That win at Monte Carlo was cursed
bro is overrated
Charles LeClerc' s clearly not experiencing the stars all aligning in his favour of late. Can't seem to catch a break.
Ya must be a nightmare to have won 7 championships.
I don't think neither Ferrari and Leclerc have fully understood what they're getting into with Hamilton arrival.
Things can only get better after Hamilton arrives. Sure, there's going to be tough times but Lewis raises standards everywhere he goes. Mercedes were 5th in the constructors when Lewis arrived and their 2013 car was a dog. Ferrari are currently 2nd in the constructors so this should be an easier challenge even tho he's 39 years old.
@@Euclides287 I would beg to differ.
Bringing in such a high profile driver with such a mentally ill fan base while the team has clear internal issues and a knifeedge car is just asking for trouble.
@@johnbenoy7532disgusting comment, you shouldn’t use mental health as an insult
@@MyShanghaiShufflestop being mental
@@Euclides287So I guess Lewis developed the 2014 Mercedes engine? That is great news Ferrrai at the start of a new engine era!
I don't think it's a regret: Finish your career in a storied team regardless of performance. Ferrari could fix their stories eventually. Either way it's not like Merc WANTED to keep him.
Mercedes had enough of Lewis. They are going for the next thing , trying to stop Max.
@@sabataskull9661 They are not good enough to stop Max, such is their incompetence.
@@sabataskull9661I think Toto wants to recreate a young max with Kimi
@@sabataskull9661 I think Moral wise Lewis can be a HUGE drain on the overall happiness and moral of the team
@@mattt525 yeah 6 championships is a total happiness drain 🤣 Just say you hate LH and move on
Lewis will know he's in dire straits when he asks the race engineer a question on strategy and gets the dreaded reply, "Understood. We're checking on it and will get back to you."
its absolutely ridiculous to think that hamilton is just gonna sit there and listen to the radio every race, you guys are going to learn what having hamilton in the team means, just wait for it 😅
Okay ladder-man, Ive just eaten lunch but i will watch the video anyway since youve taken the time and energy to climb the ladder.
Ferrari is purely a bucket list items for Lewis. He's on his way out and just finishing off his F1 Bucket list.
And the 150 million a year will surely keep Sir Lewis' letterbox company in the British Virgin Islands afloat for a while. 😂
Ferrari fluffs his ego and his wallet.
Lies
@@aoife1122he ain’t getting paid that 😂
@@aoife1122imagine making up such a wild number and staying it as fact
Lewis isn't regretting a thing Merc were gonna force him into retirement
@@rninsyoongis I agree, just like Ferrari did with Schumacher. Mercedes hoped Lewis would have retired by now and were worried about losing their prodigies like George and Kimi.
Right. Seems like the want him to leave but how do you boot a 7-timer who has done so much for the team? Creates an awkward scenario
Exactly. When a team is only willing to offer you a 1 year deal, it's their way of saying we're getting rid of you soon. So Lewis decided to jump before he was pushed.
@@dvs9019mercedes offered him a 1 year deal. He wanted a 3 year deal. Ferrari gave him exactly what he wanted
He was originally planning to retire until 2021 kept him from #8 lol, it screwed his plans as well as merc's.
The main issue at Ferrari and has been all throughout the ground effect era is the mechanical set up of the car. Especially the rear suspension, for 2 years it was far too harsh on the tyres and cooked them after 3 laps but helped get heat in during qualifying, now the car is quite kind on its tyres but cant heat them up in qualifying even if you covered them in burning oil, apart from the last couple races the actual race pace has been somewhat decent, Leclerc was lapping at the same pace as the leaders in Spain, and he caught a 50 second gap to bottas in the final stint at silverstone, this however does not matter if you are starting behind team who have similar or slightly faster race pace than you and you're liable to mess your drivers up with strategy, thats why Leclerc is trying to overcompensate with overdriving in qualifying like in Austria, which i think is an admirable mentality to not accept mediocrity but personally I dont think it's helping him keep rhythm for when the car does get better
Why cant they have a suspension setup for qualifying and one for racing?
It's kinda sad seeing how poor Ferrari still are at in-season development.
They had a car to compete with Merc in 17/18 but were outdeveloped and after starting strong in 2024 they are behind Mclaren & Merc.
Fred does seem to be making an active aproach so hopefuly 2025 is upwards leading into 2026.
It’s not poor in season development which is the problem it’s the suspension, basically they have too much downforce for the suspension to handle so they need to wait until next year to change the suspension
The "Allo, Allo" reference brought back fond memories. Thanks LawVS.
Someone needs to study Ferrari in F1, how can a Team be this successful yet not do anything right at the same time
The rot from the top spreading to other parts of the company
Because they've been around the longest, that's it.
@@Lianpe98 That makes no sense
The Toronto Maple Leafs are another example of this.
lewis' move to ferrari is just him wanting to be somewhere he was wanted and appreciated. merc showed they dont want him.
ferrari wants the experience. therefore both sides are happy.
people are reading -maybe intentionally- too much into performance regarding this topic, car or driver.
Let's see how him and his fan base reacts after ferrari do their signature pitstop and strategy.
@@johnbenoy7532 fans surely will always say stuff but i don't think lewis or his fans would be right to complain about bad strategy calls or flat out blunders. those are ferrari trademark at this point and lewis went in knowing it. plus past few years merc was not much different from ferrari whether it be pitstops or strategy. it is not like they are not used to it.
No, I do not think Lewis will regret his decision. They offered him a lot more than Mercedes did. And even if they're poor in 2025, their 2026 performance (along with every other team's) is completely unknown.
"We are checking. We are checking..."
Has anyone ever considered that Leclerc is just not that good?
Has anyone considered how difficult Max car is. All the teams can build a Red Bull car with no rear stability.
@@RogerKeulen I don't doubt that his car is difficult to drive.
Max loves the way the redbull is set up. It suits his style so it's not difficult for him@@RogerKeulen
Yeah and then they discard the idea when they find they r wrong
Leclerc has shown that he is a quick qualifier; however, he does lack consistecy on race day, and he is lousy in the wet.
One difference between Lewis & Charles, Lewis isn't backwards in questioning strategy from the cockpit if things don't look right.
Leclerc does question it though, they just lie or put on the wrong tyres anyway lmao
Charles doesn't even know what is happening with Ferrari anymore, and yeah, now that Lewis might have a spring in his step, combined with the "Ferrari style" decisions... maybe Charles would be more than happy to move to Mercedes in 2026 (to replace Carlos?).
EDIT: and yes i got the 'Allo "Allo reference :)
This comment gives me incredible anger
Carlos isn’t going to Mercedes.
@@russ99a No i know, but i figured if i'm going to give it a twist with Charles going to Mercedes, might as well throw Carlos in there.
@@benben3409 How so? I would prefer to see Charles at Ferrari, but the way he spoke after the last race, he was literally saying that he doesn't know what is going on anymore and that he's been in that position too often.
Sure, it's the heat of the moment, but there's a lot of those moments lately, and last year, and the year before that.
And if Lewis performs much better there, maybe Charles could be thinking about leaving.
And if Mercedes chooses to have a driver for only 1 year, and although Charles is said to have signed for "multiple yeaers", there might be some clause in there for him to leave.
And yeah, just to add to the mess, having Sainz be that 1 year driver for Charles to replace.
But yeah, what part is the incredibly angering part? Do you want to see George next to a different driver, do you want to see Lewis vs Charles at Ferrari, or do you want better for Charles?
@@Games_and_Music I want to see a generational talent who loves Ferrari like Leclerc stay at Ferrari, as a mamember of the tifosi
Winning 1 Grand Prix does not make you the best driver of all teams. After winning a race once ...
just give lewis a competitive podium level car and leave the rest to him.
Like in 2016?
@@sabataskull9661yeah like in 2014 and 15
fr, its been 4 races with a race winning / podium car and aside from Verstappen he's got the most points
(4 races is still to little to make conclusions, but his consistency is still at the top)
He has always had a "competitive podium level car". He needs a rocketship to win a championship. Different story...
@@Saiko-Johnny amen. Wheel to wheel with Hamilton is like bumper cars......just ask Piastri or Albon or pretty much anybody else on the grid.
I'm just sitting here not hearing a word you're saying while I hyper fixate on whether that Ladder is rated for daily use, and if it's going to develop stress fractures from being used as a prop daily. 😂
Red Bull should woo Leclerc and cause the best silly season in f1 history
they have NO reason to do that. They have Max and Charles won't be a second driver
@@gunjantripathi9271 exactly. So bring in the competition. Max needs to be challenged like Lewis was.
I will never get sick of hearing you gush over Oscar Piastri. All of my family and friends are as sick of me doing it.
I dont think Hamilton really cares about if Ferrari is good or not when he is there, he just wants to drive for Ferrari which is every drivers team
You forgot he's also gonna be here for the new regulations...
Nonsense, results are important to Lewis.
Lewis regretting his decision to move to Ferrari to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars, yeah, a painful move. He’s got a fine retirement plan
I think lewis just wanted to drive for ferrari before he retires and intended to join in 2026 but carlos didnt want a 1 year deal so lewis joined early
Charles will be outqualifying Lewis next year, but points are up for grabs. Both of them will be motivated to perform but their car will be fighting just to be 3rd fastest.
Auto-generated captions are being cruel. Charlotte Clair and Scooteria.
scooteria seems to be correct
Lou is Sad again.
Leclerc has been told that heavy rain will come on that specific lap. Sainz was told that some rain is expected in S3. Lets not judge His “tyre strategy calls”
When Fred Vassuer show up in the paddock with corn rolled hair, Charles knows he's cooked.
*Cornrows not corn rolls. I still chuckled, though.
Corn roll 🤣🤣🤣
Lewis and Charles are pretty calm personalities. Sure Charles gets angry at his team when they’re incompetent, but they are both pretty chilled out of the cockpit. I think they’ll get on fine. They’re also both clean and fair racers, so I think unlikely that they crash on track. I like Vasseur management style, he’ll manage his two drivers pretty well
i agree! people are reading into it too much lmfao
😂😂😂😂😂
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Ferrari pr department will have a nightmare season next year handling LEC's fans aka Teenage Girls on 1 side & TEAM LH on the other, with the TIFOSI looking over their shoulders.
Over 70k subs! Well done, that man!
Charles is gonna mop the floor with Lewis, George is outperforming him already almost every race.
I guess that is why Lewis is 2 places and 9 point ahead of george.
We are checking Lewis, we are checking, we go for plan G and what do you think about soft or medium.....
As a Mercedes fan, y'all are reading into this WAY too much. They got 2 due to the better teams having issues, not that the Mercs have gotten better. The RB and McLaren are still faster but I like your enthusiasm
This 🤣 I thought i was maybe missing something here with all this Merc resurgence talk.
Russell won in Austria because McLaren and Redbull crash and Lewis wont at Silverstone because McLaren bottled strategy..
Neither was a win on outright pace - they're still the third fastest car at this stage?
I'm Team Sainz. I think Ferrari is going to regret not keeping Sainz and releasing Leclerc
100% carlos is a stunning driver and mentally stronger than Charles.
@@titchlilly1294 Yeah, I feel Sainz is just more reliably quick but takes less risks and Leclerc risks sometimes payoff but often don't, so they end up around the same place at the end of the season.
I think they are going to regret letting go of Carlos and signing Sir Whines a Lot....... Charles will be fine.
@titchlilly1294 Carlos is a save driver. He doesn't take many risks, doesn't push to the limit and I think that's what's makes Charles stronger, mentally as well as a driver. Leclerc pushes because he wants to win. And given a good car, he can (2022 first half). I think mental strength isn't just about being calm, but actually fighting for something
@@maite16551 Leclerc is definitely not mentally stronger it is the other way round.
This is a really great channel! Can’t believe I’m just now discovering it!!
It is I, LeClerc!
0:13 I understood that reference! I've watched Allo Allo so many times in my life!
I swear Charles made a deal with a devil foe that Monaco win! 2025 is gonna be interesting!
AHHHHHHH! I GOT THE REFERENCE! AHHHH! MY DAD AND I SAY LISTEN VERY CAREFULLY I SHALL SAY THIS ONLY ONCE ALL THE TIME!
LAW! JUST WHEN I THOUGHT YOU COULDN'T BE *MORE* OF MY FAVOURITE!
If think Lewis could make Charles' life hard then you're in for a surprise. Lewis could hardly make George's life hard, and Charles is a top shelf driver.
"Hardly"
He is already 1 point behind George. Also beat him last season by a fair bit. Before George retired at Silverstone he overtook him in the rain
Just say ur a hater and move on
Love this channel. Great work! Keep it up!
For the life of me I cannot find your gaming channel, can you link it?
Come on Law ! He was destined to win with plenty of luck on his side i.e. Russell retirement, McLaren Stuff Ups & Max would have had him given a few more Laps !! Moreover one swallow doesn't make a summer !!!
Omg you really brought flashbacks of my childhood with that 'Allo 'Allo! refrence
What many people don't understand is that Ferrari is the best Hamilton has right now. Mercedes had long planned to remove him from the team (since the end of 2021). Check all the interviews. Like Toto who said the plan was for George to inherit the team after 2021 because the expectation was that LH would have retired by then, but also he and Alisson said they knew LH would eventually leave with the contract they offered him and Allison even said they were glad he did (a Freudian slip) but not with the timing Lewis announced it. It's all on the Internet, check it out. By announcing it, he cut the grass out from under their feet by not giving them time to quietly build George up so that when LH announced his departure, sponsors would be happy to stay with Mercedes because the "better" driver, George would still be on the team. Therefore, Lewis is still happy with his choice and as it should be!
So Lewis finally won a race when Merc became the best car again, and all it took was *check notes* Russell to DNF, Max to have damage and both McLarens to make embarrassing strategy calls. Lewis isn’t “back guys” (not that he ever left) he just had the best car and his teammate was MIA. He’s still washed.
Merc doesn’t need him any more - Russell is consistently faster in quali and the race.
They act like Lewis is god and won with the 3rd or 4th fastest car😂😂😂😂
Max damaged the car because of his own mistake. Russell fell behind when the rain came, before the DNF
And for the "best car" just Singapore 2018. Your whole argument suddenly becomes bs
But I doubt you watch F1 for that long 😂
Watching on the way to GoodWood lol
Big time jelly , enjoy!
@chrisw9445 I will haha, I'll be at the FOS itself on the Sunday so me and my friend have Saturday to explore the place itself.
Same bro
What's his name?
I don't think that Lewis is "Back" by any means. He's certainly still a good driver, but people are giving a lot of hype like he's just pulled off 2020 again.
That being said, he will be a menace to Leclerc, if not on the track, behind the scenes. Lewis pulling in his own people, while being a giant investment from the COMPANY, means leclerc will be tossed aside unless he completely thrashes lewis from the word go.
Look at Raikkonen, Massa, Alonso, and Vettel, and more. When Ferrari gets a shiny new toy, the old one is tossed in the bin, and their careers are damaged irreparably.
Ferrari takes in drivers at or near their peaks, uses them, and then tosses them out (often late, or with damaged reputations/bad options) to the lower field.
EX:
Where is sainz going?
Where did Alonso go?
Where did Vettel go?
Where did Kimi go?
Where did Massa go?
Hell, IIRC, SHUMACHER was getting pressure to retire.
I feel bad for Leclerc. He's spent much of his young "hotshot" years fighting for Ferrari. I guess we'll see if Ferrari will fight for him, too.
The idea of "the team first" is big with him, at least compared to his rivals. Lewis is certainly not like that. Charles may end up as "the best second driver"...
Poor Ferrari. It hurts to see all this bs from the poor performances, the personnel changes, and then having to transition to the Lewis Hamilton show. I'm not crying. They had a great driver line up but had to go for the gold. Ferrari, you got what you asked for.
My favourite yapping ladder man
Paradigms have changed. What will Lewis change at Ferrari? Their carriage is not up to par. History warns us that the champions who went to Ferrai experienced heavy disappointments.
All I want is 5 teams fighting at the top in 2025
What else is on the 2024 bingo card? Oscar winning, Nico podium, Fernando win/podium?
Adrian Newey deal seems to be not happening anymore sadly.
Lewis Hamilton will add driver insights for the engineers at Ferrari and help with the development. Lewis tire management skills are a result of his high level of perception of the vehicle dynamics and I expect Ferrari to improve during the off season. The spark of the 7 time WDC will energize Ferrari. I can’t wait 🫡
@@dcrasta This. Ferrari have been close in recent times, even this season, and it's clear that Lewis in a Ferrari during any of these times would have been the difference between winning titles or at least mounting a solid challenge instead of whatever Ferrari have been doing.
haha i said 6 months ago that u were gonna be popping off if you were to continue.
well done, right now u on the way to farm some good promotion deals and maybe even get some attention from F1 itself since the viewers are rising :D
happy for u
Most LH fans are also fans of Leclerc. I doubt he will have to worry about that at all
As a "Tifosa" I'm looking forward to see how Luis will adapt to an Italian team!
I adore that show! Not watched it in wayyyy too long
RPM collab at 100k?
My dream would come true
Leclerc breaks easily just like Norris. Both wont win a wdc because if they have any real competitor they will fall.
@OnlineHipHopTV have you seen Charles in a competitive car? Unlike Norris, he can win, despite any pressure. For example 2019 or 2022, he can fight beautifully and doesn't crack under pressure like Norris/McLaren recently are.
@maite16551 He can but he still made loads of errors in 2022. In qualifying and during races
@@OnlineHipHopTVHe was by far the best qualifier on the grid in 2022
Can you please stop uploading so frequently? It’s incredibly hard to keep up with all these great videos!
It Is I Leclerc! * tweaks glasses *
The Allo Allo x F1 crossover nobody knew they wanted.
Lewis will be a much better teammate for Charles than Carlos.
I’m actually really excited to see what it will be like having them both in ferrari
Ello,Ello. This is nighthawk calling
I think it is anxiety of having to proof to Sir LH that is got to Leclerc. Sometimes it is just better to race faster with no chips on shoulders and taking it easy .
Every time a driver besides max wins in 2024: “omg theyre the best driver on the grid right now what an underdog story.
Lewis regretting his move *nope*
Leclerc scared nah rumours have it that he is on about *35/40m*
Was that a Allo Allo reference in the intro?
Good moaning.
@@LawVS i still wonder what the Fallen Madonna with the Big Boobies looks like
Well, sir, the thing that worries me the most about Ferrari is reliability their F1 cars and the street cars are just about the same here in Orange County California. I can count on one hand how many Ferraris I have not seen on the side of the road waiting for assistance or being towed 😫
yeah, like you imagine this month he regrets going to ferrari, he should go back, adn after one month when ferrari gets back on track he should regret that he stayed with merc? whats done thats done, I dont think drivers think of made decisions
Exactly. It's happening.
There’s a lot of room between not wanting Lewis to win and wanting Russell to do better than Lewis. Enough shady things happen around Lewis for people to suspect foul play. And fans need to get real about how Lewis has been treated throughout his career, he isn’t just any driver and people hate for no reason.
Sharl Legler will be the second driver when Lewis arrives just like massa with alonso, kimi with seb, and seb with Charles. Ferrari master 🅱️lan
This is really bad. It just like an unhealthy relationship. Things go sour but he wins one race and all else should be forgotten? Super toxic and it shows where alliances lie
You did jinx it 🤷♀️ what are you doing? 😂
Mr Law, do you think that Esteban Ocon will go to haas? I'm seeing that he already signed but haas is waiting to announce him. From my point of view, this is terrible for me (maybe not for Haas though) because they're ditching one of my favourite drivers (Kmag [I'm Alonso/Magnussen fan]) from the team i support to put in his seat the driver that i hate the most from the grid.
Ocon is a great driver and will out do KMag is my bet. I also think Ocon may have learned his lesson.
The problem at Alpine with Ocon and Gasly was compounded by a really poor Team Principal. Bruno Famin was the big issue and should be terminated. And he kind of has been shuffled aside.
Gasly was just as childish, he just had Famin on his side, and was more cunning in playing it. For me if I was Team Principal I'd have been talking to both of them. If I was letting one go it would have been Gasly. I do not like people on the team who play games, undermine and are sneaky. Gasly had that feel to me.
You need drivers who add to the team. Both didn't and both arguably should have been ditched. Gasly did some really bad behaviour at the Monaco race that for me should have seen him fired.
IMO, Ferrari's first issue was hiring Charles Leclerc as their number one driver. While talented, he wasn't ready to lead the team and still isn't fully prepared, with too many mistakes made during this time. The second issue was hiring Carlos Sainz, who, although skilled, doesn't offer anything significantly different from Charles. Essentially, both drivers have similar skill sets, but neither is capable of leading the pack. At least Ferrari has recognized these issues by bringing in Lewis Hamilton. They also have Oliver Bearman as a future driver. Charles Leclerc will no longer be the sole lead driver for Ferrari in 2025, as he will be joined by Lewis Hamilton. This change is part of Ferrari's strategy to improve their performance in the upcoming seasons. How this new dynamic will impact Ferrari's success remains to be seen, and fans will have to wait to see the results on the track.
Are too many mistakes in the room with us? Ferrari is the problem not him. Use your brain
Only 11 views after 1 minute :(
The '25 car is designed around Charles. Hamilton is going to be having the same problems he had with MB before. The '26 car would be more to his liking, but I doubt he will ever get his 8th. GP wins, I think will come from time to time but not consistently. As for him regretting his new contract ? Meh, I doubt it. That would be like saying Alonso regretted his Ferrari, Mclaren and Alpine signings too .... and then possibly the Aston Martin also. Nope, these guys don't think like this. Yes, of course they want to win, but the prestige, ego stroking and money are the motivators. LH is not going to be 2nd fiddle at Ferrari, but Charles is already the n°1 driver .... so I am intrigued as to what is going to happen. Either way, LH at Ferrari is going to be a positive thing in a way, just like it was when Vettel joined them. I am just not sure it is going to bring championships though.
Will he be able to match John Surtees' "stellar record" (from another lifetime) of four race wins with Ferrari? Not even the great Nigel Mansell could do that. Brits and Ferrari... they do not go together well. At least they didn't for six decades. ;)
@@aoife1122 I do not think this applies today. I have no reason to doubt LH can beat this dubious "record" - taken from a time when there were only 10 GP's a year
@@cococalm OK, Eddie Irvine (a protestant from Northern Ireland) also has four wins with Ferrari to his name... but he held an Irish license and refused the Union Flag to be flown whenever he made the podium or "God Save The Queen" to be played at his wins. He requested the Shamrock Flag and "Londonderry Air" instead.
Nigel Mansell had 32 races in his two years at Ferrari and he was outclassed by his teammate Alain Prost in his second season, in a car that was well in the fight for the championship.
I mean, I wish Lewis the best of luck but I stand by it, traditionally Brits do not fare all that well at Ferrari. As Sebastian Vettel said, "Fighting for race wins and titles is one thing but doing it in a Ferrari is on a whole different level."
@@aoife1122 This is LH. I dont mean to knock Vettel, Mansel or Alonso, but one has to accept that here is a driver with an unmatched track record for skill and talent. Of course, this does not mean LH will win every race, I already allude that I doubt LH will ever get his 8th. But I do think he will get a win here or there in the next 3 years (contract he is reported to have signed ). Of course, I do not have the crystal ball to confirm any of it. I am just not one to generalise based on incomparable history.
@@cococalm All I'm saying, the Brits have rather mixed history with Ferrari, mildly spoken. For the nation "producing" by far the most F1 drivers they are surprisingly underrepresented at the greatest team to ever grace the Formula 1 grid.
Ferrari was always wary of the toxicity of the British meejah (not that their own are much better). It's kinda funny to see how they started hyping Ferrari as the best thing since sliced bread when the Hamilton deal was announced... after decades of hatred and ridicule. And the Italian public and media are not nearly as stoked about Hamilton joining the Scuderia as they want you to believe. It's gonna be interesting to watch how CultLH and the Tifosi will get along.
No regrets, Merc wanted him out, so he took the liberty in exercising his options.
With regards to the Ferrari deal: A German expert put it nicely.
Lewis (or any other F1 driver for that matter) will certainly believe that the win was only possible because of him and his hard work both in development and during the race.
Therefore, he is sure that he can achieve the same thing with Ferrari.
I don’t think Leclerc has the mental state of a champion. Not saying he won’t figure it out someday, but he doesn’t have that Piastri style cool head.
Every single lap of a grand prix? In austria he didn't or what did you mean? without engine problems? :D
Ferrari have a fair base to improve from. They started the year well, they’ve just lost their way a little with upgrades. Vasseur seems to have a plan for his team and is bringing in the engineers he thinks they need. Ferrari have a chance to be up there next year.
Just brilliant thanks @LawVS
No one knows for sure. But I do feel LH insights can be huge for 2026 at Ferrari
I think that Merc was fine with getting rid of Lewis.
In my opinion Lewis could be a huge drag on overall team moral. Listening to him complain and whine about the car the last 2 years compared to George was honestly shocking. If I put that work in to hear that I'd be sick of Lewis too.
I could see Charles fitting better with Merc ( strategy wise Merc is better imho) and allows him to focus on racing.
Also Ferrari jumping on getting Lewis into the honestly was crazy. It was SUPER understandable but I think it could cause a ton of problems.
I also think Lewis is hard to cater to. And soooo particular with his demands.... I will be surprised if Lewis struggles with the culture of the Ferrari team.
Never in my life did I think I'd be watching Goku talk about F1, but here we are
Can you drop your colour over lays now?
Leclerc will own Lewis all season in 2025, at no point I think Lewis will have the edge on Leclerc, even in the wet Leclerc is a monster its just that hes been on the receiving end in terms of bad luck
Isn't this the same guy who said Leclerc will be better than hamilton in 2025 when the news broke out early this year?
First off why are you recording in a store room or something??😅
