Do you want me to count Lewis' or Max's first 6 years?DGP123 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 19:56Russell crashes consist of Imola behind the SC in the Williams, Canada in the Merc, Australia with Alonso, Silverstone with Zhou, Max in Vegas, Sainz in Austin first lap, Lewis in Qatar, Bottas in Imola, and the poor Singapore last lap crash into the barrier. That’s off the top of my head
Yes. They will bring upgrades to every race in the foreseeable future. Remember what Allison said: their goal is to bring upgrades at a pace the others cannot keep up with. They will also benefit from more wind tunnel time.
Your 95% math may just suit for Verstappen-Perez, but better think that again; even against Bottas, Lewis wasn't 95% better. Let's just stop looking at the points from the '22 and '24 seasons. It wouldn't be surprising if Lewis leaves Ferrari with a 1-2 loss under his belt.Tvetovnato wrote:Why keep discussing this, race after race after race?

The relevant gap is actually Hamilton vs Norris, not Hamilton vs Verstappen in that final stint. Everyone is chasing Mclaren.
NOR didn’t win the race, nor was his race strategy a direct comp as he extended. Also, lap 52 was the last time HAM would’ve really pushed; receiving instructions to manage sometime thereafter - no real point incl anything beyond. No SC/rain gimmick to corrupt data; no pit stop calamities between the two either - good race to directly comp vs the winner, approx 0.2s loss/lapAR3-GP wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 22:43The relevant gap is actually Hamilton vs Norris, not Hamilton vs Verstappen in that final stint.

On lap 52 the gap between them was 6.5. At the end it was 15.5. 9 seconds in 14 laps is around 6 tenths a lap slower. Tire offset was only 3 laps in favor of Norris.
Also, Hamilton gave up pushing the last 10-12 laps, he definitely wanted to do the fastest lap at the end, but Bono said definitely not, although Lewis said that he could well have put him at the endAR3-GP wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 22:43The relevant gap is actually Hamilton vs Norris, not Hamilton vs Verstappen in that final stint.

In Monaco , George Russell did one of the best long tire runs by anyone this season.
Teammates are judged in head to head qualifying because it takes away all of the variables of a grand prix. Strategies , pit stop , safety car timing ect.Tvetovnato wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 20:15Why keep discussing this, race after race after race?

Hamilton had 35 incidents/crashes in his first 5 years of F1.DGP123 wrote: ↑23 Jun 2024, 19:56Russell crashes consist of Imola behind the SC in the Williams, Canada in the Merc, Australia with Alonso, Silverstone with Zhou, Max in Vegas, Sainz in Austin first lap, Lewis in Qatar, Bottas in Imola, and the poor Singapore last lap crash into the barrier.
