Which Ferrari driver has the edge on pure SPEED?

boyscotty4042mo 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)

F1 is so disrespectful to SLH over His entire career & Legacy.

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.

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.

At this point in time Leclerc has the edge but when they were the same age Lewis was way ahead of Charles so comparisons need nuance and context in order to make sense. Lewis is 41 and has been in F1 for 19 years. 206 podiums, 106 wins, 8 titles* and countless laps led. How do you compare this accurately. Today it has to be Charles. Adjusted for age....

On one lap Leclerc,but he has a bad habit of binning the car too

gramorris3mo ago

Will be interesting to watch this, it’s been a while since Leclerc has had some proper pressure from a teammate

I mean Leclerc has always been fastest driver through pure SPEED. His qualifying stats are enough

jivetesh20053mo ago

.Leclerc and hamilton are almost the same...but leclerc is not at all on the level of lewis..he can't lift up a team like how lewis is doing right now.also he cracks under pressure unlike lewis...also when it comes to not putting it in the wall lewis is leagues ahead...hamilton pace over a race is much superior to leclerc..that was seen this year

wilsonjimwilson3mo ago

Leclerc is faster... But it's impossible to complete races when you keep putting your car in the wall. Leclerc doesn't understand that it's not always Hammertime. On his first Q3 lap when he had a snap, Leclerc could have backed off and still set an "ok" banker lap. Instead he pushed more and put it in the wall. Whereas Lewis has mastered Hammertime.

His race management needs some improvement. Like you said, putting your car to the max too much too soon backfires

Lewis hamilton

david.comerford3mo ago

I agree with Ralf here. Leclerc for me has the edge on pace right now, but Hamilton is the more complete driver

marcus.chan3mo ago

I think it’s well documented that Leclerc is immense when it comes to qualifying pace. But Hamilton excels in other areas

ahambly233mo ago

It is no match to Hamilton's records, but Leclerc may have a case for having superior pure speed based off his raw qualifying pace alone.

Speed/Pace greater than Your Legend, seems to Me..both Driver's should have the same product to achieve the P1 every Race.
