He doesn't have it.

Definitely doesn’t have the killer instinct needed for F1. I think Lando can drive but it’s a moot point until he fixes those atrocious starts.

Lando had every opportunity afforded to him, including the fastest car, weaker teamate and preferably strategies.

This is it, that was his chance. He's been in F1 for what, 5 years? If he couldn't compete then, he never will.

To be honest I think Carlos is better, and while I think he could do better than Lando, I don't think even he could have won this season. It take a special driver to win a WDC - it's not just one qualifying, one lap or one race. It's putting it together to win consistently.

It's why Hamilton is the greatest of all time. Lando claimed it was the car (even clueless peanut gallery posters here say that)
.and yeah, it helps. But we're seeing a mid driver in a fast car, and the results speak for themselves

[AmuroRay]

Calling Lando Mid likely isn't even fair. I heard he was runner up in F2, after George Russell.

That just goes to show it takes real talent to capitalize on winning. Yeah, I don't think Max is all that, but he's definitely better than the rest who aren't Hamilton.

I lost all respect for Hamilton for wanting to quit on Sunday. I know things were a little challenging but that doesn't mean you come into the pits and give up. For fucks sake, you are a 7x World Champ...so act like it!

If Ferrari doesn't give HAM and LEC a competitive car next year we may never find out.

Agreed. It was certainly out of character. It's not something I would have expected him to say.

Doesn't impact the level of respect I have for him, though. He's still the greatest of all time.

But with Max exposing Russell for the snake that he is, it just makes Mercedes and their new face of the franchise look desperate and pathetic.

Wish them the worst and will be happy to see Ham with a 9 wdcs in the next season (I still count 2021 as his)

Mercedes has absolutely sabotaged Lewis' season, although perhaps more significantly than they had intended. They've used his car as a test mule to gather data for improvements for George.

When Lewis wins his 9th title, there will be no more discussions about who's the greatest. It will be cemented as irrefutable fact.

I still don't believe HAM is the goat but for sure MB sabotaged him this year so Russell Boy could gain some confidence and puff his chest out. No way HAM forgot how to set-up a car and drive.

HAM is also smart! He knows MB is undermining him to say the least. So, I don't know how to feel about him wanting to quit.

One thing for sure, Ferrari didn't pay HAM all that money to play second fiddle. Freddie wants to keep his job so I believe they will give both drivers equal equipment. LEC will be HAM's first talented teammate since Alonzo. Let the fight begin

He has just as much of a "killer instinct" as Charles does, imo. Charles has constantly played the nice guy and is finally having enough of it. Lando is getting there too.

Charlie definitely played too fair but shows more passion and disdain for losing. Always has! Lando is genuinely a nice guy. Plus, PIA is so low key and level headed kinda hard to get mad at. Almost have to play fair with him

On the other hand : In the last 10-12 races MAX had to drive with the 3th fastest car , and he already is the 2024 World Champion .
If the 2025 RB21 is good or bad , MAX will be extremely hard to beat in 2025.

In this season we witnessed the MAX-Factor more than ever .

Can't wait to see that . Knowing LEW , I fear the worst (!)

I mean , as I said : Charlie is God and the Pope at Ferrari and in throughout Italy.
LEW will go down . Charlie will beat the 5H1T out of him.

But he won 7 of the first 10...That's one hell of a head start.

I got a feeling 2025 is gonna be one hell of a season.

Mate . I don't know who taught you how to count. But if you wish, I can teach you .

True . But what then came , was impossible to drive with .
But MAX scored podiums anyway in the next 10 races while the KitKat man kissed the walls .

Meanwhile , the KitKat man still s@cks . He scored 2 points in the last 4 races .
Yeah . I have that feeling too , and I can't wait to see LEW on Charlie's side .
After 2-3 races I expect to see Ferrari war horses and LEW will whine like never before ..
With LEW at Ferrari , the race strategy will look like a spaghetti...
