Is Leclerc faster than him this year? Yes, and he'd probably be still faster than Lewis next year.
Has Hamilton adapted to the Ferrari yet? He's getting there. But it's not enough.
Bad luck or external factors? There are some, but it's negligible.
Is age catching up to him? Actually, yeah. It's most certain that he isn't the guy he used to be from 2014-2021. Man stepped into AD21 and just vanished. Which is sad.

Hamilton has preserved his late braking driving style from pre 2022

#

That just doesn’t work in these cars

#

If he adapted he’d lose that original driving style

#

And if he did properly adapt, then what would he have achieved? Maybe a couple of podiums?

#

Given that he hasn’t been presented with a championship winning car there is no reason for him to sacrifice that old style

i dont think lewis went in that path in these regulations which is kinda disappointing for a driver of his stature

#

He has 7 world titles and 105 wins I really don’t think he cares about whether he finishes 3rd or 6th

#

So much of racing is muscle memory

#

And if you change your braking points and the way you take corners at every single track on the calendar you’re not going to be able to instantly go back

he shouldn’t

#

he’s doing well enough to maximise constructors results

#

so it makes no difference to anyone but himself

Lets look at the constructors

#

Ignore 2022 and 2023 because Hamilton was very much on pace then

#

Realistically could Mercedes have beaten Red Bull in 2024? No

#

And could Ferrari have beaten Mclaren in 2025? Obviously not

#

And yes, a 7 time champion spending 4 years in subpar cars is a waste, especially when he is only in the sport to win his 8th title

# severe lake No, I said it doesn’t matter

thats what im saying - "it doesnt matter" is NOT a statement u can make in a sport of such competitive scope such as f1. thats not what he is payed to do. whether it matters or not.

#

hamilton doesnt get a special pass to drive under the limit just because he is a WC. if it was any other driver they wouldve been kicked out of the sport a long time ago

#

He gets that pass because him under the limit is still better than 70% of the drivers on the grid

#

And what is ‘he also has a competitive teammate now’ supposed to mean

in a title fight that is

if one happens

#

Oh its not even about Leclerc-Hamilton anymore its just about discrediting him

near valley
severe lake
#

Not that he doesn’t push to the maximum

#

It is that he does not need to adapt

#

You stated that ‘merc not sauber’ point like the sauber drivers outperformed him which obviously is not true

# severe lake Thats his direct competition

yeah, an abolute rookie and a dude who cant even adapt to the car and has to scrape a point here and there are the people ur comparing him with. guess im not the one discrediting hamilton with this statement lmao

severe lake
#

But that is his competition

#

Ultimately

#

Leclerc, Russell and Verstappen are all performing at a similar level, so the other drivers will make the difference

#

Hamilton is on his own league in 6th

#

No competition ahead, no competition below

severe lake
#

Well thats kinda my point… him doing what he’s doing will get Ferrari second in the constructors
