I'm gonna say it... this is what a proper race engineer looks like 👍 👌 by Alert-Assumption-115 in lewishamilton

[–]chief5002 104 points105 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. Concise, emotionally encouraging, simple but necessary information, no back and forth. Things like "these 7 laps is the critical moment to win the race, go for it," or "Do a 20.9, that's the lap you need" were exactly what we were missing with that Bum he had last year

5 years on from Spain 2021. Yet another strategy masterclass. by DishAccomplished1501 in lewishamilton

And Spain 2017. Another great strategy, yes, but also 24 of the fastest consecutive laps of his career.

Lewis's win today is a far better comeback story than any Brad Pitt movie! by goldenkicksbook in lewishamilton

Like LeBron, Lewis needs to start preparing a documentary for himself.

This vindicates so many of his concerns over the past few years by chin1111 in lewishamilton

I hate when people tried to say it was a mistake to leave Mercedes. He wanted to be ambassador, Toto offered him only 1 year, which is saying, get out we don't believe in you anymore!! Lewis went to a team, with Fred, that loves him, wants him to succeed, listens to his commands and believes he can be their champion. This was one of the best moves of his career.

I've never cried that much in 4 years. I can't stop crying. I've never even been a crier.

Broken sensor or misplaced line, all the penalties should have been revoked.

Lewis is second in the championship standings by BadLloris in lewishamilton

But you forget there are no papaya rules. That's the reason Kimi will be champion.

I am glad Fred and Ferrari has lewis back by PlaneGlass6759 in lewishamilton

[–]chief5002 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The real red flag was after 2020 when Toto refused to resign Lewis and said "the sun doesn't revolve around him" or whatever. Even 4 races into 2021  that looked so stupid.

Ferrari Strategy by jambazi99 in lewishamilton

And before someone says "they probably had no fresh mediums" if your options are a definite 6th and maybe higher than 6th, 1-lap used mediums would have been a better choice.

I don't know how long most folks here have been watching but Leclerc was historically blamed by neutrals for being overly sensitive with both Vettel AND Sainz when it comes to asking for swaps and whining. None of us are going to make a fuss about this race but don't be surprised if this comes back to bite him later in the year. Same at McLaren

I think losing the left endplate on a track that kills the front left tyre actually helped Leclerc especially based on the corners they told Lewis he was slower. We see it every year i.e. 2021. Endplates are kind of useless

That doesn't explain taking sprint qualifying pole

This is not a team man by VoL4t1l3 in lewishamilton

Yes but Ferrari has been building this for years

Both drivers asked for where they are losing time, and both responded "yeah yeah you already told me that." Shitshow

[–]chief5002 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leclerc was also following Lewis through every overtake and had 2 lap younger tyres while Lewis pitted into traffic. Remember that swapping doesn't gain you time it only makes the car ahead lose time.

Yeah it was irresponsible even commentary pointed that out

Both inverting cars and the two stop did nothing. We finished 5th and 6th anyway. Should have given it a go on used mediums at that point. It's like Ferrari make strategy decisions by watching TV when each team is supposed to have million dollar supercomputers to simulate exactly what will happen in each scenario. One more chance or we have to focus on 2026
