This forum continues to have terrible takes.

All the drivers in F1 are dispensible at any time even those that win races if the team has an angle of increasing money intake big time otherwise.

And you honestly believe that Hamilton will bring in less money than Sainz? Be honest.

I don't think that for one minute, of course it's why SAI has his marching orders, no ?

Hey, I appreciate you being honest and reasonable.

I do try and next year I can only see that it'll be the old rivals LEW and MAX in the news.

Lewis is out here taking on the best in the world and coming out on top and you think Charles, a guy who has won nothing, is going to stop him?

Maybe Charles would be a challenge for Max, but Lewis already has beaten the previous world champions times over. Max should worry about padding his numbers now that the RB team is angry over the lack of Bonuses. Perez will likely be out - maybe RB will give Max an actual good partner and not low end midfielders so he can feel better about himself.

Can't wait until they call Roman Grosjean or Mazepin out of retirement to be Max's teammate. Then you all can continue to pretend that Max actually competed with someone worth a damn.

Mate , don't you see what Vettel looked like in Charlie's sunglasses ?
Well , that's what LEW will look like in 2025 at Ferrari ...

LEW can't even beat his own Benz teammate George Russell , a boy-doll ...

LMFAO (!)

That's all you and the rest of the nuts here.

Let me remind you that just a page ago, you were claiming that Ferrari could conspire against Charles to favor Lewis, when we saw Ferrari favor Charles over Sebastian.

You and the rest of the forum literally refused to acknowledge Lewis being cheated out of his rightful WDC in 2021
Refused to Acknowledge him literally destroying the entire grid (that wasn't in a RB) in 2023 including Charles
Made excuses as to WHY Ferrari shouldn't sign Lewis over Sainz, including that Sainz would be a better teammate (LOL WHAT!)

These opinions aren't just ridiculous, they have all shown to be basically false.

So flip that Mirror around and take a hard look.

You must have me confused me for someone else as I only own one of those statements. But I'm onto your schtick (hence the mirror) so you may take a seat.

There is a channel on Youtube that is basically a fan made "drive to survive" and he's done a few seasons, including 2017/2018 with Lewis vs Seb.

Fantastic:

Lewis Vs Seb 2017 -

Lewis vs Max 2021 -

I can't wait to see a 3+ way battle (with Lewis winning of course) for 2025!

You all sound the same to me.

I'll watch it when I have some time.

Think of DTS - but no made up drama and in the driver's own words. The first one 2017 Silver vs Red was a fantastic watch.

The second link is a preview for Lewis vs Max - I believe that one may be on his page.

I did!!! That's how I felt until Ferrari cut Carlos loose for Lewis. Now Carlos has no reason to follow team orders.

It's wasn't a terrible take...The equation has changed.

BTW two things can be true. I don't think Lewis and Charlie will work well either.

Basically Charles has been demoted to the 2nd driver.
The situation already came up here, what if when new upgrades come and parts are limited to one car.... of course they're gonna give those to the driver who's fee is 4 times as much...

It all depends on off season development. I can see HAM and LEC taking points off each other and Max getting #5 since he doesn't have a teammate to worry about. Plus, Mercs and McLarens might be in the mix

I think it will be 4 or 5 races into the season before Ferrari decide who to treat as #1 driver. Remember, you don't wanna break Charlie, he will be around a lot longer.

As for 2025...

If M4X gets a competitive RB21 , he will fight just like in this season and win the 2025 WDC again .

If M4X gets a very fast RB21 , he will dominate in all the races like he did in 2023 and win the 2025 WDC again .

In other words : M4X is unbeatable (!)

I want him to have a '23 type car where his win tally rocketed and the more wind tunnel time (without the Constructors win) will be a boost that even without Newey will get his RB21 on top of things and the tech anomalies which happened mid season are unlikely to happen.
