I think there's a bit of you guys speaking with your hearts that clouds about of some realities. 1) We are assuming that come 2026,Ferrari will automatically have a competitive car, yet it will new new regulations again. Also you can't discount what other teams could bring to the party, and also when we think of recent history, Ferrari has been late to the development party. They do eventually get there, but they start on the back foot. 2) Aside from Charles being part of the system longer, although he remains a good driver, Lewis is past his peak, while Charles is getting to his. He did just have one of his best seasons, he was more consistent on podiums and added more race craft to his one lap pace. So beating Charles will be a challenge. 3) Because of his improvement in race management, and his undisputed one lap pace, which is Lewis's weaker skill these days, it is not a given that Lewis will drive up easily to Charles or past him. I think though I know it's subjective , Leclerc is a better driver than George and therefore a bigger challenge. 4) To give 2025 a pass and think 2026, we again assume that Lewis will still be at that high level. Just because Alonso has defied time, that doesn't mean that Lewis will. We must account for drop off that comes with the 4th floor. And let's not forget the grid is packed with serious younger hungry talent, amongst them is a Max and co. 5) lastly, if the Ferrari is competitive, just like it is for McLaren with two closely matched drivers, they will take points off each other. There is simply no way Charles would play second fiddle with a good car to let Lewis get an 8th. Charles would be hunting for his first. We can't discount these facts. On redbull, when all is said and done, Liam makes more sense for Redbull. I always said they have access to data, real time temperament that we don't, in addition to other business decisions. Even if Redbull had given Yuki the seat in a year or two he'd be looking at Aston Martin with the Honda connection. Liam gives them stability of life post Max, he creates space for Hadjar to come in and also gives Liam a shot to gain experience as other teams have pivoted to youth.
Lewis this is Lewis that it’s kinda crazy how the so-called journalists don’t learn from the history as one of the greatest of all time himself said it there is no driver like him and his record perceives him, so who’s taking a risk by moving to Ferrari? Lewis! did he make thst kind of risky decision before yes Did it work out for him absolutely yes Whether he’s gonna be successful or not at Ferrari at this point, we all should agree that when it comes to him, you should stop assuming cause time and time again he proved himself to everyone. I don’t think you’ll need any kind of reassurance from him. And this decision alone made Ferrari billions of dollars he aside from the race. This man is a many making machine so I don’t think it should be a conversation at this point.
Agreed with most of the stuff except the Alonso stuff. If Alonso joined Ferrari he wouldn’t do any better than Lewis. Age affects everyone and especially in qualifying. If Ferrari does have a good car in 2026, it’s a better opportunity for Lewis in 26 than in 25, that’s what they are saying. They don’t think Lewis will win this year. I would completely agree that Lewis’s move to Ferrari is bad if he didn’t have an incredible 2023 season. Mentality is moved on in 24 so with motivation we can see a better version of Lewis maybe not as good as Charles but just good performances
We will come back here at the end of the season to discuss all your points, one thing I would ask you, don't say it was because of the car when Lewis thrash Charles. You kind of give Charles the super driver stuff, we'll for your information, Hamilton has more race wins in his first two years than the entire F1 career of Charles, so I don't see what make Charles that great with nothing to show for it. How long now has Charles been in F1? Judging Hamilton with the deliberate sabotage that Mercedes did is what is going to surprise you this year. Hamilton when it comes to fitness, is fitter than most of the drivers on the grid. No one wins an F1 title with a bycicle, all drivers need a solid good car to win, on a bad day your skills make the difference. We are yet to see Charles win on a wet day. Charles has many deficit that makes his title bid not perfect and Ferrari won't have gone for Lewis if they trusted him. Same thing for Mercedes in 2012 if they trusted Rosberg that much they won't have gone for Hamilton. It is all about the driver and his ability. Stop talking about age, that has nothing to do with Hamilton, older boxers still beat younger ones. Hamilton will beat Charles if all cars are equal.
I think Sam is wrong saying Ferrari is more at risk with the move. Lewis has to prove himself to a team that is notoriously tribalistic. And it is a big thing that he is working for a team outside of the UK. He doesn't speak Italian fluently. That is a big deal to Ferrari fans. I think Lewis Hamilton has a lot more of an uphill battle. Ferrari just has to produce a good car and with the regulations not changing that is easier for them to do
I normally enjoy thi😢s channel however, this episode reminds me of Last of the Summer Wine, i.e. three old Brits, reminiscing over the life of Winston Churchill and awaiting his return from the grave to bring back the good old days 🙈
"ferrari have more pressure than lewis because lewis is now 40 y.o" this is a very funny opinion because when lewis won silverstone and spa last season there are no opinions mention his age..
Lewis's time is over! When you become 40, you'll be out of warranty, eyesight gets worse, reaction times become worse, muscle power becomes harder to maintain. I do think that Lewis gets humiliated by Charles. It's not a problem for Ferrari as Charles has a longer future with them, and signing Lewis did well for the stock prices!
Knowing that the Rb management deliberately decided to impair Checo performance by not giving him the same car as Max to drive and then using Checo's car to test upgrades to help resolve the RB 20's setup problems, ....... and then add 4 DNF's where Checo had no control .............. do you still think that the RB management made the right decision to upset team unity & capability by working against Max in his attempt to get his fifth WDC?
😂😂😂 Lewis can drive any car. He has way more experience driving different cars. They are changing the car completely next year. Charles will have to adjust to the new car also. Look at how much money they are paying him. They are not making these decisions because they are biased and reading you tube comments. He is the GOAT 🐐.
All this Lewis talk makes me puke. People, wake up, it's done with Lewis. Is a good driver? Yeah one of the best but he isn't the same Lewis like 5 years ago. This guy is going for the name and money and that is it. And oooow 2025 is going maybe to be the best year... Yes because Lando is the favorite and has the biggest chance of becoming a World Champion...because of the car, not his skill.
Midfield driver with luck he drives Ferrari. Normally everyone get than p1 till p4 . If his name was max Verstappen it was only p1 . But he hasn’t the quality off max. And may be very happy his car is with Mercedes and McLaren the strongest. If he fin the championship not at least p3 its a shame and a lot off people shall say that he was only in the strongest Mercedes champion with luck.if 2026 against in this car not p1-3 in championship. Directly Ferrari must throw him out and put in his place for say250 miljoen a year . Because when you have max is guaranteed that you buy a world championship in a row . The best was and is not contracted this midfielder
Based on Lawson's very limited F1 experience and the fact that Checo was much faster than Lawson, driving the RB20 car, do you believe that he can achieve his contract conditions by being less than 0.300 seconds behind Max at every qualifying in 2025?
Men. Lewis WAS a generational driver. You’re talking about him like it’s 2021. What indication has he given that he’ll even be close to Charles? None. Stop rating him more than what he is, a strong midfield driver.
@@RichardReich-z6i he finished 7th overall, just ahead of Perez. His most frequent finishing position,(the mode in mathematics) was 9th. If midfield is 10+ I’d say he was damn close. Russell had one more zero point race than Lewis and still scored more points. If we think of Perez and how poorly he drove, and Lewis was just one position higher, that’s pretty pathetic for a works driver. And Checo had 3 more DNFs than Lewis. I’d bet Lewis finishes behind LeClerc AND Russell in 2025. Maybe he’ll be great in the next gen car but this gen has not suited him at all.
Now that the RB management have dumped Checo for a midfield rookie to implode the RB teams unity & capability, just like Toto did to destroy the Mercedes team, a few years ago ........... do you agree that Jos will move Max to join Newey; Honda & Alonzo in 2026?
Keep dreaming, they relieved the team from a driver that cost them the championship. They create a fresh start for everyone... To be honest, it's fairly impossible for Liam to fail harder than Checo. A steady top 10 performance is enough. As for Max, he has won 4 successive titles, he has LITERALLY no reason to leave.
@@Snaakie83 Obviously you believe that Checo, being given a far inferior RB 20 car to Max and been forced to DNF four times could have done better. Or ..... How about the RB management allowing Lawson to break Vcarb standing team orders 'not to race the senior team' and allowed Lawson to risk everything to block Checo, causing both teams to end up losing mega points in both Championships.
@@Snaakie83 F1 history has proved that winning Championships can only be achieved by a united team effort. Crippling Max and the RB team with a mid field rookie, who has nothing to contribute will definitely going to upset Max and the RB teams ability to perform effectively.
@@Snaakie83 Based on Lawson's limited F1 track record and the fact that Checo was much faster than Lawson when driving the RB 20, do you think Lawson will be able to attain his contract performance clause to be less than 0.300 seconds behind Max after every qualifying session?
@midas7394 Lawson has driven the RB20. I've followed his career and watched him race in the TRS here in NZ, where he dominated Lando pre F1. Based on that, I'm guessing Liam impressed behind the wheel of the RB20 and that's why he got Checo's seat...

If the ground effect rules affects Lewis driving style how tf he was battling for P2 in standings 2023??. 😂
If you examine Hamilton’s history he has not always been a good qualifier

Lecler speaks Italian, Lewis don`t. And one more thing Carlos was a way 1 race and Bearman was driving that race. And thx for a greeat channal.
