I hope it'll agree with Charlie, the pull rod front will lower the centre of gravity and lowers cars sensitivity to changes in direction with more anti dive introduced. Downside is that kerbs can cancel out some of the gains with the harder ride and the lower down arms can be harder for mechanics to work with.

Lando is a very mediocre driver and Oscar is worse. I know you guys know about F1 more than I do, but I have to trust my eyes on this.

Lando is EVERYTHING that this entire sub thinks Hamilton is - a very average guy in above average car. He couldn't do it when he had the opportunity last season, and I doubt that will change this season. I don't understand the hype around him or Oscar to be honest.

But I do think this year and Next year are for sure going to be a Hamilton win streak.

Not the entire sub, I think he is top three with Max and Charlie depending on the car.

My honest evaluation of HAM is this:
Missed his 1st championship with a rookie mistake in a very fast car.
Got lucky with rain and crash gate to barely beat Massa for his 1st.
The rest came with a VERY dominate MB that even gave Rosturd one championship.

However, that doesn't mean I think he couldn't have done it in a less dominate MB.

If HAM wins a title in the next 2 years he will be the first driver since Kimi to overcome #FerrariThings. The curse is real

Lando lost to in F2 George -
Lando Lost to Sainz
Lando had the fastest car last season and it amounted to nothing
Even Helmut Marko said that Hamilton in the same car would have won

Lando is safely 2-3 steps behind Hamilton, but you have rated him higher despite him doing nothing but fumbling and losing.

For Ham, you said he was made a rookie mistake and missed on on a championship win, when he beat his teamate was the current reigning 2X WDC, and Ferrari (who you imply were slower?) won by 1 point.

As stated above, Lando can barely even win, and he wasn't matching a much slower Sainz.

Then you say he was "lucky" to win in his second year - which is the second time in 2 years that he was contending for the top spot - but in your eyes it was entirely based on luck and no skill -

And yet Lando can't even do the same. Lando hasn't been in the mix to win anything and fumbled the ball by mid season allowing Max to lock up the championship. We all saw it.


But Hamilton in 2008 was 4th place at one point - beat the rest of the field by 1 minute in the rain another point and basically was competitive the whole season which allowed him to win at the last race. chalking that up to luck is disgraceful.

I can safely say that I not only don't share your opinion on talent, I will also say I respectfully don't value it either.

Why are we doing 2024 numbers when Lewis was clearly not driving the same spec car as Russell? What about 2023 where he literally (not figuratively and not exaggerating) destroyed everyone who wasn't in a RedBull and outplaced Russell by like 5 positions.

It's not even close.

Why the hostility bro? Plus you are putting words in my mouth. I said ham is top 3 with max and Charlie (At this time). I never said Lando or pia was better. I never said the Ferrari was slower. Actually i think Massa’s Ferrari was a faster car that year. Yes, ham is better than Massa. I said he was lucky to beat Massa due to crash gate and rain. The race in Brazil where massa was ahead and ham passed non driving Glock on the last lap. I think it was Glock

At any rate my reply was just my opinion. Ur free to disagree or think it’s stupid. Have I been hard on ham in the past? YES

But he is on my team now so that makes me a fan. Yes I’ll be disappointed if he beats LEC. LEC is my favorite driver. Surely you don’t expect me to jump ship just because ham has more championships? I’ve never picked my favorite Ferrari driver based on who was fastest.

My post wasn’t intended to wire you up!

So it’s ur decision, friends, friendemies or enemies. But like it or not we are on the same team now.

My fault good sir, you are correct. I read your post as saying Lando was top 3 with Max and Charles, which as I pointed out made no sense. I get people don’t like Ham, whatever. But The idea that someone could believe Lando was better is literally insane to me.

No worries!!! I don't dislike HAM as a person. For his wealth and popularity he seems very nice. After the grief he caused me over all these years it's only human nature (And my personality) to enjoy banging on him.

As I've said before my best friend Sid was a massive Hamilton fan from day one. We used to love talking trash and watching races together. He loved Ferrari but Hamilton even more. Hamilton joining Ferrari is bitter sweet for me. Sid would have enjoyed seeing Lewis in Ferrari red. We could have enjoyed pulling for the same team for once. Sadly I lost Sid to suicide but I'll send him a huge smile mid-march watching the Australian GP...Live goes on!!!

Thanks Bro

Sid was cremated and his girls visited Monaco where they scattered some of his ashes near La Rascasse. Fitting tribute for a F1 super fanatic.
