The Mercedes is just very unstable. Yet people act like Lewis is having a meltdown. Lewis just needs a car which he can predict (something which every driver needs) to deliver. Give him that, and we'll really see what he's still capable of. This is coming from someone who isn't a Lewis fan at all
@@The_ZeroLine Aldas is very mild compared to others I've seen. I just think people jump to conclusions much too fast when it comes to F1 in recent years. Therefore, I wanted to defend Lewis, because he has shown many times that he's capable of delivering when the car is performing predictably and up to standard. He is a 7 time world champion after all. I'm not a Lewis fan boy either. Never have been and never will be
never forget that when Ferrari was bad after Monaco and Lewis was catching form, people were asking if Lewis would be worried about Ferrari, and look how it turned out for Ferrari. the only way Ferrari would be worried about Lewis is if he is underperforming in the SF-25
If he’s only slightly behind CL @40, it’ll be impressive. If he beats him, it’ll be a huge boost to his legacy & how he stacks up in comparison to other F1 GOATs. Pushing tricky cars has never been Lewis’ forte. He’s utter magic in a great car though. That’s ironically kind of the difference between him and Alonso. If they were both driving the same tricky car, I’ll take Alonso every day of the week. If they both had a perfect car, Hamilton would likely have the edge.
If it is Alonso that he is teammates, he would destroy Alonso. He has a different view of Alonso. When Nico was his teammates he was partying unbothered.
I doubt it. I think they’d be fine if he was at Sainz’s level or even fractionally slower. That way they won’t have to deal w/the stress of two #1s taking points off each other while still getting to enjoy the massive amount of sponsors he’s going to bring, the boatloads of Hamilton branded Ferrari gear they’re going to sell, etc. Which brings me to another point: there’s a vocal contingent who keep talking about what a shame it is Sainz has lost his seat to “washed” Hamilton, but look at the points gap between Leclerc and Sainz. It’s bigger than the gap between Lando and Max. The most Sainz can do is usually hassle Leclerc for a while or, on the odd off weekend for Charles, inherit the position he would normally finish in. So, unless Lewis is in the beginning of a major collapse rather than just a gradual decline and/or the Merc just really confounding him, the worst that happens is Lewis basically picks up where Sainz left off.
Sainz never got same material crybaby Leclerc did, plus Ferrari’s strategies always favour the pretty boy, and so on. U don’t need to hunt Carlos to praise Lewis. In an average weekend, Sainz may be slower at qualy but he’ll be much faster and consistent through the race until boxes start to make ‘decissions’. Leclerc is nothing without protection, and lewis it’s gonna rip him off the tarmac.
@@AntonioGarcia-Unholy Sir, i don't know what you've smoked or anything but you have no idea what you're talking about. Sainz can't hold a candle to Leclerc.
@@AntonioGarcia-Unholy I wasn’t insulting Sainz. He’s a great driver. Just not at Leclerc’s level IMO. Though Leclerc could do w/CS’s racecraft. In what was has Leclerc been a cry baby or been favored? I don’t see it. I also don’t think saying Lewis, one of the GOATs, would be at about Sainz’s level if he’s lost a little bit of speed.
@@The_ZeroLine In 2023, almost every Ferrari's box decision went Leclerc's way. And he's a cry baby: S. Arabia, Austria, Canada, Monaco, GB, the "ooww, it sucks running behind in the stream" or the infamous Hungary undercut to Sainz, something that was plainly wrong. And we eventually get to see what Leclerc is when Lewis comes in. Wolff said publicly, as well as Hamilton himself did, that he would be getting worse and worse as the season went by, just as Mercedes wouldn't give him any new material Russell might have. U throw in this the thing about the Pirelli that makes the whole team lose themselves into the nothingness (they hired a third party auditor just for analising wtf those compounds are about) and there u have it. Hamilton's still top game and he'll own Ferrari's box with Leclerc shouting to his engineers in every single race only to discover what it feels like not being Vasseur's pretty boy anymore.
It will depend on how much the Ferrari car suits Lewis style. Leclerc and Sainz have both a very different style but the car seems to suit both of them quite well. Lewis's unique late braking style asks the car for strong mid corner rotation, something the merc w15 lacks. Which is why their weakest tracks are places with slow corners and 90 degree turns, general opposite of the ferrari.
I don't think his form will worry Ferrari. I personally think he will do just fine there, since Ferrari has a much better car than Mercedes and it's much easier to do well weekend after weekend in a good car. He will bring alot of experience and knowledge from wich both Ferrari and especially Leclerc can learn ALOT. Mercedes honestly don't help themselves right now to contradict the rumours that they're just sabbotaging Lewis. Don't forget how they literally ruined his entire race in Singapore and Monaco aswell with those dumb strategies.Not to mention how they are literally experimenting on him with all the upgrades that most of the time don't even work. Personally, i think he doesn't care anymore about Mercedes and he's just checking himself out. Next year Ferrari will revitalise him
I agree about the Ferrari point, but I doubt Lewis is checking out from Merc. I think both sides want at least one more win but that car is just so unpredictable
The way Mercedes has treated Lewis after basically a decade of him delivering them title after title is so disrespectful, it will definitely be talked about in the not so far future and I know Lewis is so glad about the decision he made after seeing how Merc has mistreated him.
it's the other way around, Mercedes has delivered title after title for Lewis. If they hadn't signed him but Paul di Resta in 2013 Rosberg would have won every title between 2014-2020, perhaps/maybe 2017 being very close with Seb. Lewis made a differerence in 2017-2018, the other seasons basically any top 10 driver would've won by a large distance.
It's disrespectful from Hamilton to the team that gave him the most supreme car for the longest time in the history of F1 and kept good drivers out of the other Mercedes.
this is the same Mercedes that has given him championship after championship, countless wins and podiums and yet they’re being disrespectful. were Mercedes also being disrespectful by giving him a race winning car in Silverstone?
It’s just a bit of a rough patch I think He’s seen how good that Ferrari is and how bad the Mercedes is and he doesn’t really care about the end of the season, wether he’ll beat Charles next season though is another question
My friend is a Hamilton fan and he say he’s failing because of the car, The question is wether he can perform better in Ferrari’s car which we can’t judge yet
Eh, in the mid-season everyone talked about Hamilton regretting going to Ferrari because of a few bad races. Now Ferrari is in the championship fight and Mercedes clearly not. Let's not jump the gun because of a few races.
I think Lewis is the sort of driver that is not great in the midfield but the moment he sniffs a chance at a race win he’s there. He’s on it. Maybe it’s a motivation thing, maybe it’s just that he has done relatively little racing in the midfield in his career
Wow, what a snowflake you are. You’re basing your opinion totally off the title rather than the content. He has lauded LH many times this season + he lauds him in this very video. But beyond that, Lewis hasn’t been having a great season. It has been bad either. Just bad by his standards. So, it’s fair to ask if Ferrari are going to be getting a Hamilton very close to his peak or if he’s lost a gear. It’s not about how great Lewis is or has been. It’s about how great he will be at unprecedented age. Only him, MSC and Alonso have driven at this age in teams with big expectations m.
This is Formula 1 social media, the king of overreactions. Sort of like how the narrative around the few races close to the British and Belgian Grand Prix was that Lewis was probably desperately trying to find ways to get out of the Ferrari contract considering the form of the Mercs. Don't hear much about that right now.
Your comment is just sad. It’s clear u didn’t watch the video/any of his this season. He doesn’t make vids about a driver winning a race + isn’t questioning LH’s greatness. He lauds him throughout the video. All he discusses is if Ferrari will be getting peak Lewis or a Lewis who has understandably lost a bit of speed due to age. He and Alonso are in uncharted territory driving at the age they are with WDC level expectations on their shoulders. Only one driver of similar caliber, MSC, drove at 40+ and while it wasn’t nearly as bad people made out, it wasn’t close to peak Schumacher either.
Its not been good because mercedes have made that be. Qualified 3rd in singapore they chuck him on softs. USA he said he needed to change the car they do not and the upgrades clearly caused both russell's and lewis' issues. The car is just dreadful. @@Erhan_56
I hate Hamilton, but this guy is a joke. He used to be one of the peak F1 channels on YT, but everyone has left him behind. He is holding onto clickbait and making bs 10 minute videos out of nothing. The Merc has been shit and Hamilton has been shit because of it. Red Bull has been shit so Max has fallen off. What is he going to do a video on next? "Why The Sun Isn't Going To Rise Tomorrow!?!" What a joke.
What the f**k are these chicks with random comments? Is Aldas paying services for comments? I don't think he needs to do this, he has the thumbnail art down and is a good story teller, no need for faking, success will come.on it own
Its a youtube thing, not Aldas. Tons of videos have these female bots commenting the same stuff. There was another trend where bots were commenting a bunch of names like "Sarah James Thomas Dirk Peter Alisa" on a lot of vids.
I think this is a similar situation to when Carlos beat Charles when the car wasnt championship worthy. Once Ferrari got on top of their issues and produced a championship winning car charles was clearly the better driver. I see no difference in the mercedes situation. When the car is inconsistent George is close to Lewis or a bit better but when the car is capable of challenging for wins consistently Lewis outperforms George
His 2 wins were very lucky and Mercedes screwed Russell out of a 50 point advantage and messed up quite a few qualis for hem. Hamilton is only a little above average driver outside the supreme Mercedes of the hybrid era. We don't need a dozen complicated explanations and excuses, and how Bottas lost his mojo and Russell was mister consistency first, and then mister saturday, and then making too much errors although not more than Hamilton. The mercedes being the far superior car from 2014 to 2021 explains it all at once.
Lewis will be fine at Ferrari their platform is way more stable and predicable. Merc have just lost confidence in themselves and the relationship has gone sour. People always talking about Alonso but he’s been stinking it up but coz of this meme that Alonso is this guy no one ever recognises it. Lewis has 2 wins this season but he’s washed. Even if he is washed he still clears more than half the grid anyway. Regardless Lewis may not beat Charles in the quali aspect but in the race he will do better. The Ferrari move will be fine and Charles and Lewis won’t bash heads so it’s okay. Confident for 2025, 5 races to go until we go Tifosi!
Why would it? It'll just make it easier to prioritize Leclerc and still put the onus on Lewis to win in a rocketship next year. Ferrari win either way because if Lewis at 40 can do more than Sainz over a season
He came 3rd in the championship last year GR 8th And this year even with 'LH bad form' he is still ahead of GR so what does that tell you about GR in general. Ppl need to be talking about why lando has only won the amount of races he has in that car 😒🤷♂️🤦♂️
Can’t be the only one that thinks that this Ferrari move for him could be fireworks as proven in the past with Alonso to just because your the champion moving into a team with a younger less experience teammate don’t necessary mean your going to beat them as the other driver is use to being at that team and is more inter grated plus Ferrari know that leclerc is the future to
TBF to Alonso, he had just moved there too, had never driven Bridgestones & got under half the mileage in the car LH did before the season for contractual reasons. But, yeah, what Lewis did as a rookie makes it one of the all time greatest seasons ever.
Let's get it straight the two races lewis won ...George had a mechanical retirement in one and the other one George actually won the race but was disqualified...this kind of distorts the 10 pt gap between Lewis and George...George has been the superior driver by some margin...Lewis is a good driver but he is no Senna...
Hamilton is definitely losing his edge. A lot of commentators say "he doesn't care to fight for a 6th or 7th place, only for the wins/podiums but you can clearly see his is struggling. Adaptability is what make champions great. Alonso is an anomaly, nothing tells that Hamilton will continue to perform at his best level in his forties.
Lewis has won races and championships over multiple regulation changes, not in the best car (McLaren 2009-2012, Merc 2013, 2024), alongside adept teammates and wins in 3 decades (only one of a handful to do so). And one of them isn’t Alonso (and he had the car to do so in 2022 and 2023 when Lewis put a tractor on pole). How’s that for adaptability?
Facts makes you respect Alonso more considering the fact to he’s slightly older than hamilton and some of the performances he’s did in the Aston Martin this season has been amazing considering how crap that car has been and it’s a shame he didn’t have last seasons car this season could have easily got at least 1 win this season to
I don’t buy the “he doesn’t care” line either, but I think the main issue is that he’s never been great at maximizing tricky cars like an Alonso. He’s got a small edge on FA in a perfect car though. I think that while he’s lost a tiny bit due to age, the majority of his struggles are down to the above. OTH, GR has _only_ driven unpredictable cars his entire career.
@@nicholas8363He’s nearly 4 years older. So, yeah, it’s wild. Qualifying 8th in the slowest car besides the Sauber was sheer magic. Max, Lewis & Alonso are so far above the rest of the grid it’s amusing. For Hamilton, as I said above, his dominance only truly shows when he’s in a great car. You might say anyone would perform well in a great car, but what I mean by that is, Lewis has proven to have an extra gear and ruthless consistency when it comes to driving great cars.
@@The_ZeroLineThis is a joke right, when this is your worse weekend ever, then you are just kidding yourself if you think he has lost it but you probably don't pay attention to the nuance. The car that Russell drove was the Singapore spec, something Lewis categorically requested for from Friday. Immediately he touched the upgrades he said this isn't it, give me back the Singapore specs, what did they do. Give it to Russell.
FERRARI will regret signing Lewis not because he's washed up but because Lewis brings a ton of useless baggage with all his activism and high maintenance whining.
Now that I think about it...BOTH Lewis wins came at the cost of George losing out on the win by fault not of his own...the hydraulic failure in Silverstone and dsq in spa....maybe Ferrari should worry....Maybe it was the car for both races
