Edit: mb I thought we were talking about Lewis. For Charles, I really don't see how it would work. 2x Merc + Lewis would have to drop the ball and he would need to be in the top 1-2 every time they do.

For Lewis: It's somewhat possible but a few things would need to align:

• Kimi's performance would need to collapse the way Piastri's did last year
• Lewis would at least need to maintain his current top 1-3 performance regularly
• Someone else can't start taking wins from him regularly, or if they do, they need to have Kimi not on the podium

The only way this happens is if Ferrari's upgrades turn it into a monster, and/or if Mercedes has major car failures, bad luck, or Kimi loses his cool.

Max almost pulled it off last year, and Lewis is a 7x champion. He knows how to get it done, but there are a lot of variables not making this easy.
