Sigh yeah the car felt good in FP3 blah blah. Its the same broken record. Whatever there doing (or not doing) they can't get the car in the window and on Lewis's side its been the case all season. At this moment in time after the season he has had in qualy, you have to point the finger to him. He can't drive this car the way he can and if he can't adapt to Ferrari's traits then its closed curtains. His driving style is not working with the W15. Fk knows what his engineers are doing but there probably tired with Lewis's demands in general.

Edit. Russell has the Miami spec floor , missed alot of running and still got the job done. Its not good enough. It really isn't
Yeah, Q3 has been Lewis’ weakness this season. We’ll need to wait until interlagos to have a clear picture on these updates when both cars run them and are in 1 piece. Merc should have brought the update package to Mexico instead of Austin to avoid the sprint shenanigans…oh well.

Lewis missed fp1, got one lap on this weekend's mediums in fp2 and couldnt change the setup the entire session. But yea i think its a combination of him, driving style not working with this car and how peaky their car is

Ham saying they changed the rear wing after fp3 to get more downforce but just went slower, he's still getting 3 wheeling, had no rear end and doesnt think Merc can fight the Ferrari's, Lando and Max tomorrow, something Russell also said. Im interested to see what Shov and Toto say about it
