Huh? HAM is a downgrade from SAI as I have previously said and I still believe it was a mistake to replace Carlos with him. That being said, he is getting consistently decent results and they are currently in second. I like Ollie, but he hasn’t exactly lit it up at HAAS and I don’t see how you could swap them. It might be contractually impossible to do as well. |
while true, they asked him if he learnt anything about his car in the last 3 races and he said "i learnt nothing". looks like he doesn't want to be there?
i guess there isn't anyone better than Ham for the seat then. he should just drive for charles in that case. give him a tow when needed, let him through when he gets close, etc. Ferrari has good potential if they focus on charles. |
Don’t disagree with that. Best they can do is 2nd in the constructors, that strategy gives them the best shot to attain that.
Ollie could come in and do better, but that’s a heck of a gamble. HAM and I’m sure Ferrari obviously hates it, but his consistent P5-7 finishes may be better than a rookie coming in and trying to figure it out.
Stating the obvious again, Ferrari should’ve never gotten rid of Carlos. |
Sainz is overrated. Faster car and has yet to do anything with it.
This forum is full of hot takes, and they are all wrong. |
Data doesn’t lie, Sainz was familiar with Ferraris weird culture and more importantly younger. I like Hammy a lot, but as that stupid saying goes, Father Time is undefeated……
You are the other side of the fanatical Max fans. All of you guys on the extremes of fandom let it cloud your judgement. |
The data says that Sainz is in faster car and has failed to produce. Hamilton is year one with Ferrari and is already doing better than Sainz is. These are objective facts. |
Different take: apart from being a multiple-crowned F1 driver/legend, Hamilton is a unique "brand" too. It's a win-win for both Hamilton and Ferrari. Race wins in 2025: 'nice to have' but no 'must have'.
F1 is a big business. If it were a meritocracy, we wouldn't have seen pay drivers occupying seats of more skilled drivers who lack big financial backing. Some pay drivers became great though.
