Thank you for underlight this. I was tired of hearing that Russell is better than Hamilton last year.ringo wrote: ↑28 Jul 2023, 19:41What's the head to head for race and quali now?
Since Lewis started to move ahead i notice no more tabs on those stats.
This recent form is boding well for Hamilton and his contract negotiations. The team still needs a driver like him. They could be as loss as Alpine are who have two young drivers.
I dare to say ocon and gasly conyributed to Alan and Otmar losing their jobs with their poor performance. The alpine isnt a bad car.
The good thing is George's reputation still cannot be damaged much even by losing to Hamilton week in and week out. He only loses a little shine. He is still racing well despite being a little bit behind.
Totto looks annoyed after the beatdown from redbull. This was the same last year. The whopping 1 second gap also got under his skin.
I mean, we saw the reality this year without experimental setup, even if the car doesn't fit Lewis' habits (driver positioning etc)...
I might go too far but again Merc went for Georges direction, especially with the fugazi win in Brazil, and Merc lost +5 months keep trying the zero pods concept.
Now, as we saw from recent comments Lewis - who saw the weakness of this car from the 1st run in February - Merc a listening more to him. I mean the experience this guy has is unvaluable
