Will Lewis quit & who is available to replace him ?

Don't think you watched 2015 and 2016 mate.

 

Achieving some WDC's with Ferrari or Williams would change people's minds.

 

Lewis will finish his F1 career at Mercedes in 2022 or possibly 2023.

 

I actually hope it's an uncompetitive turd.

 

He's nearly 40 for crying out loud, firstly, why would Ferrari drop one of their drivers and secondly, why would Hamilton commit career suicide to attempt the impossible.

 

"much better" ..
Agree Alpha Tauri last year was clearly the class of the field car.

 

I did mate, it was the hybrid era mate.

 

No it won't. Only new excuses will be created.

 

'Tis so.....but.....'tain't necessarily so.

Jim, one of the best of all time, couldn't get a handle on his '38 in the '66 500 (two spins to second), yet he won with one in '65.

 

A wonderful attitude for a "supposed" fan of the sport.

 

You clearly didn't take much notice cos they weren't exactly high downforce.

 

Jim didn't have a fraction of the data and engineering behind him, not even remotely comparible.

 

Doesn't matter. Fchat agrees hybrid era cars are easier to drive.

 

Hamilton is 36 !

Nothing is impossible. Schumacher proved that at Ferrari.
And George out qualified Hamilton at Spa, in a Williams.

 

Not really,
This year SF21 was a handful to drive.
But cars with a very good downforce balancement are a lot easier to drive.

 

Why ?

 

I've been asking that question for a long time.

 

But overall they are easier. Not my words, but many here.

 

Hahahahaha what a load of rubbish, the 2020 cars have been the most physically demanding in history.

 

One swallow does not make a summer.

 

I agree with you. I'm just quoting most Fchat members.

 

Huh? All the data.....all the engineering......doesn't put an iota of the feel, decision making, and execution, into the drivers. That's still inherent.....or not.....in them.
Nonetheless, if a design does not suit a driver's fancy, they can not perform magic. Not a single one of them. Ever.

 

Disagree
Remember Mansell ?

 

After 8 years of Merc practically guaranteed at least 1 podium every single race weekend, wanting other teams to be ahead of them doesn't make me a fan of the sport? Get over yourself!

 

Of course I do. No magic tho'. And will not go down as one of the greats.
'Same as all the respect I have for Graham.....'just not that one level higher.....a natural like a Fangio, Clark, Stewart, Prost, Senna, Schumacher, Hamilton, Verstappen (and whoever else I might have forgotten)......
