Leclerc/Bearman - Ferrari 2027
I think Lewis will stick around long enough to see if the 2026 Ferrari is any good. If it sucks, which is highly possible, he might take an early retirement.

You are the best at cherry picking pics like this!

Max knew he had a crap start and had to try something like this. Didn’t work out for him this time. He’s just pissed Oscar knows his dirty tricks and somebody is using them against him now.

Max has nearly podiumed on all races - He's not been lost in no mans land like Charlie has, I would put comfortably 2nd fastest all season, at worst tied for second with Mercedes.

The guy is 40 years old and can still compete for wins from time to time in sub par cars. Got to love he still lives rent free in all of your heads.

Of course LEC should beat him routinely this year, he’s younger, been with the team for years and yet HAM still has their only sort of win to date.

Remember Piastri's bold move on Norris in the first lap at Monza last year. Norris P1, but not for long. High risk of a double DNF but Piastri knew what he was doing.

I do remember! It said volumes about both drivers in very different ways. It showed Piastri has that championship mind set and Lando doesn’t. Especially Lando admitting after the race that essentially he didn’t expect him to try that move and had he known he wouldn’t have had the chance.

The overtake on Hamilton here was incredible too. That was a race highlight. What a place to overtake.

that move was either race winner or crash into the wall. that shows that he trusted Hamilton not to put him into the wall. he wouldn't have done it on say Yuki or Stroll for example. maybe.

These new stewards do seem fresh out of school but the flexi wing ban is one step nearer, I was even looking if PIA had jumped the start on the dirty side... but never mind MAX will nail the papaya runaway in the coming 19 races.
No penalty for LEW (!)

Expert in the loft says there should have been no penalty at all for MAX, FIA should have overuled the 'stewards'.

Must be blind as bats to not see that Max avoided a collision, their rules are not worth the paper they're written on.
