That's why LEW's end is near my friend .

2025 ?
Ferrari warhorses like we've never seen them before (!)
Charlie will do it like he has done it with SEB (Sebastian Vettel)
If VET was reduced to a beekeeper eventually by Charlie then LEW will be a honey maker soon too.

My guy, Lewis is literally physics defying superhuman, and I'm not even kidding. We see it all the time in athletes. Some trait that allows them to literally be above everyone else.

For Lewis it's his processing speed and coordination. It'siterally comically ridiculous how much further ahead compared to everyone else.

There's always an air of certainty in some that the '25 car will be better, the way it really works for some is that its lousy at first then hopefully improves as planned hit or miss upgrades are added.

Our idea is to watch it sunday 24th of november, 07:00(AM) CET @our local* bar, the innkeeper serving a so called champagne breakfast, with about 10 friends of mine.

Point is: The missus still doesn't know this.

And champagne is short for beer at 7 am....


*I'm asleep when Jake Paul confronts Mike. Jake Paul's GF is from overhere, my hometown living about a mile from here....

Cheers
Robin

This was very apparent in the amount of times he went off track in Brazil. Such great processing speed LOL. At 40, your fast twitch reflexes are nowhere near the same as someone who is 25 years old-30 years old. It also drops off quickly too. You can clearly see his quali pace is dropping off, and his race pace is starting to as well. Russel isnt even that good and has by and large outperformed him pretty handily this year.

I was writing a whole post to break it down, but all of these guys are operating at a level that you would think belongs in a comic book.

There reaction time, processing speed, core strength - it's on another level compared to us.

You ever see the Avenger's Movies where the guy Hawkeye never misses with his Arrows? Yeah - Lewis Hamilton has done that.

People here are so blinded by their hate and bias they can't even properly process and analyize what they are seeing.

Hamilton has passed his prime for reaction time and processing speed. He is in biological decline. There is no way around it. It happens to all of us and generally starts in the 20's and just progresses throughout life. He may still be better than your average 'murican who likes to sit on the couch and drink beer as a hobby, but not better than the other kids coming into the sport right now. He's not equal to where he was in 2007 when he joined F1. There literally is no argument there, just something you have to accept.

I have less of a problem with Crofty than with Ted Kravitz.
He's the one I most want to see leave. Even more than Damon Hill

Yep. And what an odd couple they made.

Brilliant driver too (James Hunt that is ). Lived his life to the fullest if I have to believe the stories

'Hunt the Shunt' as he was known by some because of his propensity to crash in his early days of racing, he had an on/off temper that left some other commentators speechless and searching for words.
He had it all but in the end a little too much of everything including alcohol and chain smoking of Marlboros with bad decisions on investments meant bankruptcy finishing him at just 45. When I was driving through Wimbledon village once back then I noticed his old grey Austin minivan in front of me, probably on the way to the pub.
