I had hopes for him after the move to Ferrari. But it seems they were not to be. Ferrari are, and have been, a mid rank team for about twenty years. It was a step down for him.
I just hope that next year will be different. But who am I kidding. Eh?
Ferrari and Linux will dominate
It's the year of the Ferrari desktop, I'm sure of it!
Complete with "we are checking" boot splash.
I'll caveat this with the fact that I do like lewis.
I think his quali pace is absolutely abysmal the past few years. But on Sundays he's been pretty impressive still, often ending up beating his teammate (Charles or George), which is definitely impressive for his age.
I think he's just lost his edge, and it's probably time to call it. But, always a chance new regulation play more into how he wants to drive a car, so I guess gamble on that as Ferrari

He ever recovered from the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. He not been the same driver since.
I'm convinced he's never recovered fully from catching COVID.
Yes, yes you are. Sorry folks but without his shiny silver arrow, he is just another driver.
This is F1 in a nutshell. The pool of drivers are all pretty good but they don't really matter. Its all about the engineering and money.
I don't disagree, but his teammate did put it on pole. The driver has some impact.
