Lewis did not have the template in 21. You are revisiting 2021 with rose tinted glasses, I will argue Norris has had a far better season in 24 than Lewis did in 21. These are the facts: The Mercedes in 21 was on average 0.18s faster than the RedBull. That is a bigger advantage than The McLaren this year. The gap should have been even bigger in Mercs favour as the data shows that if the drivers put the best sectors together, the Mercedes had the fastest theoretical time in 15 of the 22 qualifying sessions. Yet Hamilton only scored 5 pole positions. As Gary Anderson pointed out during the season Max was the best at putting together the cars best theoretical sectors during qualifying. When we look at the races, Lewis made far more important errors than Norris has this season. 2021 errors Italy Crashing out in the wet, red flag rescuing his race. The Mercedes was the fastest car, race win lost Hungary This was a clear race win lost for Hamilton due to him taking 11 laps to pass Alonso who was on worn tyres. At that point of the race the Mercedes was 2 seconds per lap faster than the Alpine. Alonso mentioned after the race with regards his surprise that Hamilton kept making the same mistake when trying to overtake! Baku A driver error costing him an easy race win, 25 points dropped Turkey If Hamilton had passed Tsunoda and not spent so many laps behind him, he would and should have gained for more points in that race. The Mercedes was a dominant package and points were left on the table. He was far to hesitant when trying to pass and not very decisive. The McLaren had a massive car advantage during the race. France Verstappenâs tyres began to fall off when closing in on Hamilton. Hamilton made a mistake and went off track which allowed Verstappen to close the gap. This was not picked up by the TV feed at the time. Without this mistake, he would have won the race. Monaco Bottas was the fastest driver that weekend, he was unlucky to miss out on pole. Lewis was nowhere in the fastest package, made errors in qualifying. Mexico. Mercedes was the fastest package, securing the front row. If the Mercedes had closed the door as the Ferraris did a couple of years ago, at best max would have undercut one of them. Poor race craft from Mercedes drivers Monza If Lewis had left more room he would had better traction and pulled away on the next straight. Lost points again? USA- Made an error going off track chasing Max down, costing him 2 seconds. Without which he would have passed Max on the penultimate lap. Max bad luck- Lewis was only in the fight due to the bad luck of Max. Otherwise Max would have won by a massive margin despite having a car on average 0.18s slower. Silverstone- Lost 25 points due to being taken out by Lewis Baku Lost 25 points and a race win due to tyre blow up Hungarian GP Lost a minimum of 18 points due to Bottas When we do the numbers, Max was easily the best driver of 21. Lewis made far too many errors, which were far more costly than anything Norris has done this year.
Yet with all those errors it took the last lap of the last race of the season for the FIA to rob him of the title. Lewis is simply the greatest of all time because how did Max not have more points with all those errors????ðððð
@darrylachia855 read the last part of the post. It only got to the last race due to the bad luck Max had. Without that he would have had a massive gap despite the slower car
Finally a guy that makes sense unlike deluded lulu fans. But I wouldn't say that Lewis lose so many points that you have pointed out. Imola and Baku are the only the grave errors he made, and practically cost him nothing which is why he is still in the title fight till AD before the episode happened and Lulu fans crying as usualð. The only other time he underperformed was Monaco where a top 3 was easily achievable. Silverstone was blatant murder, and Hungary was the best present from his wingman. Tbf Mexico rb was faster, and USA and fra was 50-50
Silverstone was murder but parking your car on top a drivers head is whatâĶfact is mad max got away with so many outrageous driving maneuvers but you fail to mention that. Also they both had the faster car at various points during the season you canât use that as an excuseâĶat the end of all the errors, bad luck and crazy driving they were equal on points in abu dhabi and we all know how masi decided the outcome of that raceâĶcomparing Norrisâs title challenge to Hamilton is not just insane but an insult to both hamilton and max
@@Jayxclusive44 I wouldn't excuse some of the outrageous things max did that season in Monza, Interlagos and saudi(not the brake testing as Lewis claims, but driving Lewis out of the track in turn one), but you can't deny Lewis had more luck than max throughout the season till AD happened. Lewis should have lost at least 10 points to max in Baku and he shouldn't have gained 18 points in imola. He lost another 8 points in Monaco when a top 3 was achievable. The points he gained in Silverstone and Hungary was too much due to max bad luck. The only race where max bottled it was the Monza start where mercs was way faster there due to their horsepower. Yes Lewis deserves to win in AD, but over a season it is clear Lewis was lucky to be even in a title fight till AD and max deserve the championship more than Lewis
George vs Max have shared tarmac in Brazil Sprint 2022. He challenged Max for that Sprint win. Spain 2022, George defensive work, yes with Max DRS not functioning, Baku 2023. MONACO 2024. Still can't get over Spain 2024 George first Lap overtake from p4 to p1. For me it showed gutsy and fearlessness. Thinking outside the box. SPA 2024 showed that outside the box thinking. Brazil 2024 would have worked well if the Team listened to him and Qatar. George Max and Piastri are similar in their driving styles. Daring ans laser focused on racing and will do anything to win. I feel George has learned to be measured in fighting for wins that are not there. He has actually said himself. He has worked on his tyre management.
if red bull is out then charles will win he is stronger than lando under extreme pressure before people point to 2022 ferrari only had a contending car first few races however 2024 showed a far superior version of him with fewer mistakes, much more consistency and better racecraft however if red bull is competitive then it will be between max and charles and in that case max might have slight edge
All things level which 2025 should be the only driver who can handle the heat at the sharp end is Lewis if its not max Charles will be fast and get wins but if its for the title he will fade/bottle at the pressure ramps up
@@danbruno5945 he is now ready 2024 showed that if you look at aws stats ferrari at end of 2024 was third best car throughout the season still it was his best season you only saw in first few races of 2022 what he can do. Yes i would say he was not ready then now he is
Its like schmacher always said the championship is won in the first half of the season. There are at least 6 or 7 drivers that could win but it depends on the car....... Red Bull have lost some key players in the team....so sorry no Mercedes may finally get it all together but again ...no Mclaren go in as favourates but need more direction to side with 1 driver or the other after sunner break.....if Lando hadbeen allowed to take the win in Hungary would Max be champion again Ferrari have the final piece of there puzzle sorted but can Lewis do what Fernando and Seb missed out on and win a championship for Ferrari Testing will be interesting ...see how many teams may sandbag until the forst race.. One rging for its going to be a very close and amazing season in 25....we will wait to see the results in December My prediction is Lewis gets number 8.....just from Lando and Charles....
No British bias :):):) Lewis winningâĶI donât think he can beat Charles in 2025. Lewisâs could not beat Max on 2021 having the best carâĶnow that cars are mostly equalâĶMax will win.
i am not sure , max has the experience with 4 titles but i think charles just showed an upgraded level in 2024 if ferrari can make the fastest or equal fastest car i think charles raw speed and overall improvement as a driver will make the difference to win lewis will take some time to adjust to ferrari
Unless Redbull mess up again Max will win his 5th. If they mess up it will go to a Ferrari driver in my opinion.
I hear you!
Charles 2025 ð
Charles Leclerc vs Lando Norris for the title, Charles Leclerc to win

It's going to be close between Charles and lando Ferrari and mclaren

4:15 Lando did make a mistake, that's why he had to take the escape road. What are you talking about mate ð
Charles being champion in 2025 is ðĪ
Promising if he puts more work in.ðĪ·ðĪ
All things level which 2025 should be the only driver who can handle the heat at the sharp end is Lewis if its not max
Charles will be fast and get wins but if its for the title he will fade/bottle at the pressure ramps up
no you are wrong about charles 2024 shows he can handle the heat

Lando will be drivers champion next year
Brazil is such an anomaly for people to laud the win purely on max
