Yeah . And LEW got a very strange discussion with his Ferrari race-engineer "Riccardo Adami"

LEW's first radio contact with Adami : Man ,this car only wants to drive into the wall (!)

Later in the race :

Adami : You are now behind Alex Albon
LEW : Yeah man , I can see that
Adami : Push your K-button now (!)
LEW : WTF is that ?
Adami : Just push the K-button in the slipstream
LEW : Man , I'm not close enough
Adami : Your K-button is now available (!) Just press your K-button to practice..
LEW : Yeah , I know . Just leave me . I'm still learning man (!)
Adami : To continue using DRS, we suggest to shift up first and then use DRS.
LEW : Please leave it alone man...I thought you said it wouldn't rain that much ?
Adami : Understood...
LEW : What position am I riding in now ?
Adami : "P9"
LEW : Ohhh“ Shit man… Sorry, I didn't know my radio was on.”

LEW I love you so damn much for that .
LEW has already found his way to the Italian #FerrariThings comedy.

So , I'm pretty sure , LEW is learning extremely fast (!)
Meanwhile I'm floored .Thank you LEW and Ferrari ...
You made my day (actually night)
But ..Good Lord (!) LEW's radio is just too funny.
Can't wait to hear more (!)

Slick painted lines on much of the road surface and curbing that seems to upset the balance of all the cars. I realize the circuit was either damp or had standing water, but something seemed off to me regarding the level of traction unavailable from the surface. We'll have to wait and see what the teams have to say, but the damage carnage seemed excessive to me. I've watched F1 since the 1970s and this recent race at Melbourne seemed messed up. We had the "F" team sending drivers out on "hards" when the track had little to no grip! Huh, where were the full wet tires? I don't know about everyone else but just watching the highlights at face value something was off. I expect comments from the FIA too. It was a mess. Sorry. Just one man's two cents. Yes, the race had drama but the highest pinnacle of motorsports should NOT be reduced to an ice rink just because of some rain.
Edit: Put another way, the Melbourne race was a total Mongolian cluster F'". I expect we'll hear from the FIA and/or the Teams in the coming days.

Yeah . I couldn't agree more ..
On the other hand : The Jeddah street track is a deadly rat trap...
It's not if it can happen , It's just a matter of time (!)

Regarding safety ? My A$$ ...It's the Arabian $Millions that really matters for the FIA..
I mean : At the Jeddah track , It's like driving in the Alcatraz prison at +300 km/h completely surrounded by big concrete walls (!)
By the big Jeddah walls in the long turns It's driving 'blind ...
It's just impossible to see what is happening in front of you at +300 km/h. Imagine that situation (!)
When I see the onboards. Honestly ,I fear the worst at any moment . Sometimes I just close my eyes..

Hopefully I'm wrong . But as I said , It's just a matter of time .
I'm not religious .. But God bless all the drivers in this deadly rat trap (!)

My friend ,I thank you for your contribution , you are always welcome

That could be part of #FerrariThings .
On a serious note : Charlie got enough of it and wish the best for your boy..

But ! No doubt , LEW will keep the FerrariThings more than ever 'ALIVE (!)

Can't wait to hear LEW in China...
Don't get me wrong my friend . #FerrariThings was really in the need of a 7-time stand-up comedian (!)

Ohhh... MAN what a mess !

Ferrari doing Ferrari things - so in that regard, they’re definitely back!. Not going to lie, I was dying of laughter hearing this.

Not going to sweat 1 race but it is concerning that Ferrari still lacks proper strategy and strategy execution.
