Ferrari

Why didn't and why do you still not go HAM (hard as a motherf***er) on the FIA, Michael Masi, and the F1 media, after they broke the 'rules', blatantly robbed you and condoned the theft of your 8th WDC at the now infamous Abu Dubious GP in 2021?

Mine would be a statement. Thank you for everything you have done for the sport

How do You, Sir Lewis, maintain Your composure through all the situations contrived & presented daily to minimize Your Legacy, without a blown gasket?

creoleviking781d ago

Yes Charles is the future of Ferrari..2026, He is in Sir Lewis Hamilton School, were it not for Sir Lewis Hamilton..The Brand would revert to 2025 standards. Ralf mentioned 9 races won by LeClerc should supersede SLH'S 106 wins, absolutely ridiculous 7x 🏆🥇 less than -0-championships currently By House Driver.

While Ferrari are now showing they are capable of taking the fight to Mercedes, Charles Leclerc may be facing another season with at most three Grand Prix wins to his name.

As they say, with each race there is always an element of ‘roll of the dice’ Without a crystal ball it’s impossible with so many variables at play. Impressive so far though!

wilsonjimwilson87d ago

Haven't really seen any reliability problems for Ferrari yet this year. If that continues he could go on for a long time. Or he could get punted into the gravel next week. Who knows?

kyle.archer88d ago

[DELETED] If you are thinking short-term, then there would be no better driver to sign than Lewis Hamilton now that he has found his mojo again. But if you are thinking long-term, you would have to look at Andrea Kimi Antonelli or Max Verstappen (despite the baggage that he comes with and the ongoing question marks concerning his racecraft in genuine battles

masternoah5784d ago

For all time, he’s 1st. For right now, I’d probably put Max ahead of him, just because he is in his prime years. I think Kimi can reach both Lewis and Max’s levels but I thinks some cracks are starting to show. Granted, there have been reliability issues, he’s won only 1 of the 4 European races this season, which makes me wonder if he’s there yet.

dav.daddy87d ago

To win right now I don't think there's anyone else I'd rather have. Max is as bad in these cars as Lewis was in the last ones. Thinking long term you'd be a fool not to take Antonelli. He's had the better of Russell most if not every weekend and he's still improving.

Ralph has alot to say about lewis is one jealous of the success that he's achieved

fogclimber199897d ago

Ask Loic Serra.

david.comerford98d ago

A lot of things, but mainly I need to see them prove they can compete on power sensitive tracks. If they can't do that soon the title race is over

boyscotty40488d ago

Leclerc aint got ish on Sir Lewis,in all his life history with Ferrari he has 9 wins,last win was 2024 b4 Silverstone,Charles couldn't lace hammys boots...stop all this crazy talk faster over 1 lap (sometimes)

i_far_i94d ago

What was it the old Pirelli ads would state? "Power is nothing without control." Lewis has great car control. Charles does not...N.uff said.

smiddypix102d ago

Over one lap i would say charles as his natural younger reflexes serve him well. But in the race, lewis has better race craft and though that isn't pace on its own, it amounts to better results. Fewer crashes, fewer incidents, and better overtakes than charles, who can sometimes be impatient and emotional when wanting to get past someone.

bobbyj5516d ago

🤔 It won't Ferrari is biased towards lecler, they were last season and this season as well.

markandpam22105d ago

Silverstone. After 8bwins there, lewis knows this track like the back of his hands. Definitely pole there #️⃣4️⃣4️⃣

bahrom107d ago

In my personal opinion Ferrari will win in this race after Experienced in Barcelona cataluniya Grand Prix...

bobbyj5516d ago

He's using his own car setup, not something based off of lecler's setup.

masternoah57109d ago

New regs + him having a big say in developing car means that it caters to his driving style. Once you allow that, he’ll Winn for you

glenmoraydrinker109d ago

The Goat is back. Ferrari have listen to what Lewis wanted and given him a great race engineer he can work with. Don’t change race engineers now. Lewis is happy and with a car that’s improving every race Lewis Hamilton will be on the Top podium again. It’s great seeing Lewis Hamilton at his best again.

ahambly23113d ago

It definitely feels that way. If he continues to have his way, I have no doubts that Ferrari's title drought will end soon.

elizablackstock114d ago

I think it's too early to say definitively re: Hamilton's impact on Ferrari. It is a relief that he feels like the team is listening to his feedback now and taking it in stride!

kyle.archer114d ago

Lewis Hamilton saw straight away that Ferrari had "every ingredient" to win again, but it also quickly became clear that things had to change in Maranello - just as they did at the start of Michael Schumacher's era in red - and only now are those changes coming to the fore.

creoleviking780d ago

Crazy work, the outsider watching/ not communicating SF-2025, House Driver LeClerc "I got Me.". To date Sir Lewis Hamilton, Brand Driver has/is expected to grow "Ferrari 1st." House Driver's Silverstone win manufactured by grooming & overriding Brand Driver expertise in building Winning 🏆🥇 Units 8 times..'The Principal is closer to...What? 9 Career Wins.

aaditya.krishnamurthy115d ago

I'm not sure it does much outside of make the case for his longevity, something that's not as talked about in the GOAT arguments in Formula 1 compared to other sports. I love Charles and I think highly of him but he's not won a championship, so Hamilton beating him as a teammate AND winning a title will do much more for his legacy.

david.comerford115d ago

I know people will say his legacy is already secure, but beating one of the best drivers of the next generation at this stage of his career would be a pretty phenomenal achievement

matth110d ago

Barcelona

aaditya.krishnamurthy115d ago

I'm going to say it'll happen before the summer break, but I can't pinpoint which race exactly. He's done well at Barcelona though, so maybe this weekend? 👀

david.comerford115d ago

Looking at Monaco, I'm not sure if Ferrari can win on pure pace this year. That means they need luck, which isn't necessarily track-dependent. Based on the ADUO findings, it's probably not going to a power circuit like Spa or Monza though

matth110d ago

Good as long as things continue as they are

walkercharlie828118d ago

The biggest thing working against him is the quality of his teammate. He has to compete with Charles for points in a way Max didn't have to worry about last year

aaditya.krishnamurthy118d ago

He’s got a decent shot for sure, but a lot needs to go his way and go against Kimi to make this happen. I’d love to see my GOAT winning #8 though

nbb2hkf5f86d ago

Mercedes is the team where I would want to see Leclerc who is an amazing talent but has been let down by Ferrari for so long that I gave up supporting him when he signed another contract with the clowns of Maranello..

fjy5mz4c26111d ago

I think McLaren or Redbull, I’m not sure whether re signing with Ferrari was a good decision, I feel like he needs a new environment but hey what do I know.

marcus.chan122d ago

Would love to see him in today’s Mercedes and finally fight for a title!

ryancorrigan33123d ago

He will never leave because he will never be offered a better seat

rebecca.braybrook124d ago

I think Leclerc is so entwined with Ferrari that it seems hard to imagine him leaving the team before his F1 career ends! Although it's rare, I can't see him moving!

tyler.rowlinson124d ago

He had the chance to leave before signing his deal in 2024, and he had the chance to leave now before signing this one. Leclerc is Ferrari, he'll never go

vatsal124d ago

Charles has Stockholm Syndrome😭

tyler.rowlinson124d ago

Slightly surprised, seeing as he already had a deal until 2029. But I guess it should have been expected. Ferrari is Charles' team, and Charles is Ferrari's golden boy. It's a partnership that will likely never end

david.comerford124d ago

I'm slightly surprised, because he signed a long-term deal in 2024. But it feels like it's designed to send a message

george.patten125d ago

1 more after this year I reckon

tyler.rowlinson126d ago

Lewis has always said he wats a race in Africa, but that doesn't seem likely anytime soon. I reckon it'll be anywhere from 2 to 4 seasons before he calls it quits

matth27d ago

No

gmyron6117129d ago

Not with Ferrari. Ferrari seems to always be good not great. Put Leclerc in the Mercedes and he'd kill!

masternoah57130d ago

He’s good enough, but I don’t think he will.

weanamadl129d ago

Yes, he should. Hamilton is class. Whatever and wherever he is. Nobody will ever dispute that. With the right car he is light-years ahead of ANY RACER. Best in the world. Outshadows even Schuhmacher.

gmyron6117129d ago

No. Hamilton will come back to earth. The last 2 seasons zLecler dominated Hamilton.

josemvelar33130d ago

deathshood153d ago

No he needs to challenged and listened too ferrari are starting to understand this with Lewis pulling the team together

karangtr115d ago

No he did the right thing

grahametson116d ago

Before a driver like Lewis retires, what better way to go out of F1 than driving for Ferrari? Lewis could do very well this year, and the car is under him and is definitely a beautiful car.
