I've never seen a car have so many issues as Lewis car had today, brake balance issues with the car not wanting to stop (Russell as well), aquaplaning, bouncing, understeer, then oversteer after pitting, then a power delivery issue that they eventually fixed, then heavy bouncing at the rear of the car. Ontop of that theyre both liklely to get DSQ'd

Yep that car has some of the worst issues that rival the W13. They have no clue and if they get a DSQ , well it somes up there current guise imo just piss poor.

Team has been a shambles the entire regulation. Nothing new to see really. Needs a complete restructuring, and new leadership, that sadly won’t be coming. Team in no man’s land, basically waiting for an engine in 26’ to bail them out, as technically, they just don’t have the answers.

If it's another DSQ I've got to feel for George. He keeps putting in solid performances but is not seeing the rewards in the points column because of silly stuff like this.

Its the false promises that do it for me, No other team over promises and underdelivers like they do. Even Lewis is guilty of this say " weve found our north star "

This race gives me assurance for next year and beyond. If we get a good car, we could see George world champion because that was a mega drive today. Also, why was he consistently loosing one and half tenths to gasly into turn 1

Looks like Lewis has now checked out of the rest of the season and is focusing on 2025

https://www.motorsportweek.com/2024/11/ ... 1-weekend/
Lewis Hamilton says end of the season “can’t come soon enough,” and his expectations going into the remaining races are low.

“I just put my focus on something else. I’m not fighting for the championship, it doesn’t really matter where we finish in the championship.”

“I don’t care if I finish ahead of George or behind George, it doesn’t make that big of a difference to me. I just want to keep the car out the wall and try to score points if I can for the team.”

“If I can finish well and they give me a car that doesn’t bounce off the track in the next few races, then hopefully we get a better result. Looking forward to Christmas.”

And of course something out of Russells control has to knock him back behind Hamilton in points.

Seriously who really cares. GR will finish ahead anyway and you lot can bang on about 3 year championship like Button in 2010 - 2012 while your blinded by the simple fact that this team is deteriorating and will continue to do so unless they make some tough decisions throughout the organisation.

The incompetence all around is beyond a joke. Riding onboard with Russell and in particularly Hamilton was grim stuff. Tentative, low grip, brakes not working properly. Bouncing etc just a endless shithow of performance from a car that has been upgraded. GR is driving the wheels off but even he's starting to believe this team aint got what it takes. They have parred off Lewis like a hamburger wrapper into a bin. At this rate he's just a passenger with these setups and low effort from his side of the garage. Bono giving him sparse responses was evident.

There's no doubt there making life harder for Lewis, he looks like a absolute amateur on track, i see no shades of vintage no shades of him maximising the car. Yes Lewis in general doesn't like these cars and his performances have been hit and miss in the modern era but this year... even his race pace has gone missing with this car.

10 plus years with a team that has been the stable for Lewis's career and this is how it ends. Seriously id rather Lewis calls it quits now and get Kimi in that car ASAP. Both parties are done. Divorce.
