But I agree, these things happen. It's just upsetting and disappointing that instead of the best racing ever, we have an entertainment spectacle.

We had more social media posts and poses of Lewis and Charles dressed in racing ready gear, and now we see that they literally did no practice or prep at all until literally a week before the season starts. I want to blame Ferrari, but this is a FIA and F1 issue - lack of a proper offseason and training.

F1 is purely entertainment and anything resembling a true motorsport will die here.
Main requirement of any Ferrari driver, including Hamilton: Italian is the internal work language. Schumacher coped fairly well with the language. Kimi and Vettel struggled with the language. Hamilton was used throughout all of his career to communicate in his native tongue. That has changed. The Ferrari team will communicate as much as possible in English with him, but the 100% English is gone.



Even the legendary boss Enzo Ferrari neither spoke nor understood English. An insight by Niki Lauda about pride and honor at Ferrari. Niki describing the encounters with Enzo Ferrari as if you're there - he had balls:
