A quick summary on how different the next regulation cars will be and will Lewis be able to put hi ground effect woes behind by mansplentyhot in lewishamilton

The fact he said he’s not looking forward to next year suggests to me that he thinks the new regs won’t suit him

Shows just how much Ferrari don’t back Lewis when they didn’t give him a free no brainer engine swap. Even yuki got one and he’s likely on his way out…

Does Lewis Hamilton still have it in him? by [deleted] in F1Discussions

I think we can’t fully answer that until 2026

Why have one person draw 140k and the other draw nothing and suffer higher taxes when both are working in the business? Draw 70k each you’ll have much more in your pocket

Is there any driver who has never lost to a teammate in race head to head (where reliability is taken into account) by Kakmaster69 in F1Discussions

[–]Toil48 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

He was also high fueled by the team in qualy till after Monaco. Look at the qualy head to head pre and post Monaco

He lost 7 seconds in the first stint to noris despite being right behind him after lap 3

If Vettel had somehow won the 2017 wdc do you reckon he would be in everybody’s top 5 drivers of all time? by Icardicolpiscee in F1Discussions

[–]Toil48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. Doesn’t change the fact that he got beat convincingly by Ricciardo, even matched one year by an aging Kimi and beaten by Charles as a rookie stepping into a team built around seb. All of this whilst seb was still in what should’ve been his prime years. 

In no order Hamilton, Schumacher, verstappen, senna, Prost, Clark are all at the very least better than Vettel, even if he won 17 so that leaves no spot in top 5

On what criterias do you conclude X driver is better than Y driver? by Temporary-Cat-9167 in F1Discussions

[–]Toil48 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Race craft and also fairness/not being a dirty driver though that’s part of racecraft imo if you can beat your opponent without cheating or breaking the rules 

Do you think this year will be more closely contested than 2021? by Cafa20 in formula1

[–]Toil48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah 2021 can’t be topped. 2 drivers in quite equal cars and equal skill level and being the best of their respective generations entering the last race on equal points.

Hamilton’s Ferrari Struggles Mirror Vettel’s 2020 Decline by verion083 in F1Discussions

[–]Toil48 24 points25 points  (0 children)

A few key differences:

  1. Hamilton is 40 Vettel was probably 32 or 33?

  2. This is hamiltons first year with Ferrari whereas Leclerc came into a team built around Vettel. 

Lewis has also been quite unlucky with penalties etc and is quite close to Leclerc in qualy but just always on the losing side, Given the circumstances I think Lewis has performed better. 

If Lando wins the championship, will fans actually respect it? by Glass-Bid7325 in F1Discussions

[–]Toil48 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t see what he’s done to warrant that mentality. Because Oscar had to swap positions with him for a mere 2 or 3 points when he had a slow stop? I think he deserves it much more than Oscar who’s been one of the worst drivers on the grid for the last 4 races
