No he wouldn't have. Ferrari is easily the 4th fastest car on the grid, behind Mercedes, Red Bull and of course McLaren. At best he would have held the lead for a few laps, but I don't believe, even with a pole (which is impossible per Charles) that he could have held out. The other cars were too quick and Ferrari had nothing to catch them with.

But Ferrari and Lewis have acknowledged that the struggles aren't all on Lewis, apparently there is a part on the car that's been hindering him by a tenth or two. So we will see.

I still have Hamilton winning it.

No such thing

In some places like Bologna sure, you go to Italy sometimes? because when I there in Viareggio and then Rome was served it when requested.

Hope they have decent air filters to deal with that then

Nah it's no use, probably face masks at best

Charlie's underwater mask could come in handy then ..no forget that!

So apparently Max (and Yuki) drove with heavier cars due to the special livery.
Turns out that under the white bull livery, there's the original livery!
So the white bull livery is a foil that is put on the original livery and not directly onto the carbon tub!
This may be due to that the cars go directly from japan to bahrain or something like that.
So cars with a special livery in japan had an extra disadvantage.
This is a dutch link, but you can see them pulling off the white livery after the race and the blue livery is directly underneath:

In Italy, never ask for a "spaghetti (alla) bolognese", but for a "pasta al ragù" or a "ragù alla bolognese". If the words "spaghetti bolognese" feature on a menu card, it was merely done to do foreign tourists a favor.

So the meal is definitely served in Italy (claiming that it doesn't exist in Italy, is inaccurate), but with a different name. Don't expect meatballs, though.

Actually, based on personal experience, Italians prefer to use the "ragù" sauce much more more with tagliatelle, than with spaghetti. Outside Italy it's the other way around.

If you spot this one in your super market, give it a try. I can recommend it. They also got an "Extra Gusto" variant, which is even tastier:

There is no fix (!)

It's LEW , the driver LEW . And no one can fix LEW. He always wants to drop his car to be faster than Charlie.
Just remember LEW in China (Shanghai) => https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/a...meSeNUnMpHQLaz
LEW was DSQ (disqualification)! because he got too much wear on his titanium skid blocks and floor.
Cause of LEW's DSQ in China ?
LEW's car was sitting too low (drop)!

But at Suzuka , LEW tried it again and dropped his Ferrari (ride height again)!
LEW qualified at Suzuka , but his car wasn't according to the FIA regulations .
In other words : LEW tried to be faster in the QF by dropping his car ..
But his skid blocks were almost gone . In the box they saw it just on time . They replaced the skid blocks and raised his suspension again .
Otherwise LEW was DSQ (again)!

Now LEW is saying that Charlie's car is faster (!)
No . Charlie is just faster than LEW , and that always will be .No one can beat Charlie in a red car .
BTW : Charlie ran the QF with a ride height according to the FIA regulations , buy still he was faster than LEW .
Charlie wasn't cheating but LEW was cheating at that moment ..

LEW : Charlie's car is faster than my car (!)
Source is the Dutch GP33 article => https://gp33.nl/f1-nieuws/problemen-...-auto-gebruikt

My prediction is : A Ferrari drivers war (!)

he knows coz his car was faster than Nico and then later Bottas, at least that was what I thought when I watched both of them race.

LEW tried to cheat to make his car faster and to be faster than Charlie .
So it was in China and Suzuka (!)

LEW will never be faster than Charlie .

LEW's Mercedes was Starship Enterprise.

Of course Lewis car was faster, Lewis was driving it. The idea that Bottas was somehow cheated is ridiculous, when even Bottas himself admits Lewis was faster.

Lewis isn’t Max, he can take on a strong teammate. So now we know Lewis was working with Less than Charles, so let’s see how this plays out. 4th fastest car on the grid, and he’s already won a race.

nah don't worry i also think Max's car is faster than his teammate's. i don't know how, maybe he's just a better driver. his team mates says the car is undriveable but Max gets pole, or almost gets pole. Perez is last and Max wins, stuff like that. but I guess Lewis and Max was and is just faster than their team mates. but the Nico period was a bit suspicious.

Alike the McLaren engine, the Ferrari engine will perform better in warm Bahrain and Jeddah. You'll see.

Totally - Mercedes cheated Ham in 2016 to gift Nico a win into retirement.

LEW won the sprint race because his Ferrari was sitting extremely low and that made him faster .
But too low (!) And not according to the FIA regulations, that's why LEW was DSQ after the race ..
His titanium skid blocks and floor were gone from the sparks (!)
Sparks = Scraping with the cars floor over the asphalt...

Normaly LEW had to be DSQ from the sprint race as well , because he was also cheating at that moment with his Ferrari ride height (!)
LEW worn out his skid blocks also during the sprint race but they couldn't replace his skid blocks in Parc Fermé...

Lewis wasn’t dsq’d after the sprint race - why lie?

No ! I don't lie .You got me wrong . I said ; LEW worn out his skid blocks already during the sprint race and in the race because his car was sitting too low from in the QF and sprint race .
And so even more during the race . That's why LEW was DSQ (!)
LEW was DSQ "after the race" because his car was sitting too low.

But actually LEW had to be DSQ already after the sprint race , because his car was sitting too low in QF and sprint race.

In other words : LEW's ride was too low and not according to the FIA regulations in the QF , sprint race and race (!)
