Miss him in F1..

I'm grateful , that he survived that hell of fire . I don't believe in miracles , but it looked like a miracle
Or like a scene of the Terminator

If it was a couple of decades ago or before that he would be a goner maybe and let's not forget it was pure luck the armco wasn't trapping him completely, he just about squeezed through the gap to escape.

Yeah . But his foot was stuck under the brake or gas pedal , and it was no joke to remove his steering wheel in the flames before he could get out .

Temps in the fire reached at least 450C° and he got a max-temp. of 800C° (!)

His clock was ticking ... 4-5 sec. longer in that hell's fire and Grosjean was gone my friend ...

Remember Zhou's wreck when he flipped over the barrier? He would have been a done if his car caught fire. Zhou was truly trapped.

This is going to happen from time to time, we just pray it isn't more worse than what happened to Grosjean or Zhou .

Will they offer him a Ferrari from the car pound as a runaround I wonder, I think Bino refused one when he was there and settled for his own Twingo.

That four fingered salute from MAX to celebrate his championships could also be looked at as a goodbye to the four finger Kitkat sponsor

We shall see but Lewis is team Ferrari now. If either driver claims the WDC that means we have a great car. I'm also a Charlie fan so I'd rather it be him. But I'll be happy either way.

Viva Ferrari

It doesn't matter how good or how bad the 2025 Ferrari will be ..
No one at Ferrari is faster than Charlie in a good or bad Ferrari .
That's why LEW will be beaten (like 5H1T)! by his teammate Charlie at Ferrari .
After 3-4 races , Charlie is the #1 driver at Ferrari and LEW will sink like a brick in the water..

Honestly ,It's a true shame that Ferrari signed LEW and fired Sainz (!)

Forza Charlie !!!
