@there_is_no_if Guys Ferrari’s tyre management is horrible and Lewis wasn’t able to save as much as he could at Mercedes. We might lose out to the Mercs, unless they get a PU failure.
@sehoff44@FormulaRana Plus make him the only black driver on the grid and also put him through the challenges that Lewis had to face through out. Especially having a father/family working three jobs just to make enough money for weekend Karting practice.
@mrsheldarlock Funny bringing up teammates. Hamilton spent his career against Alonso, Button, Rosberg, Russell and Leclerc. Alonso spent majorly against Piquet Jr., Vandoorne and Stroll. Comparing teammate front-row counts across completely different teammate quality and cars is meaningless.
Am I the only one who thinks Hamilton’s race will be decided in the first lap?
Lead into T1 and he can manage the race. Stay behind and he’ll spend the afternoon balancing tire wear, fuel targets, and LiCo management.
What do you think?

If Hamilton grabs the lead at T1, his LiCo worries mostly vanish!
Leading = clean air, cooler brakes, and stable tires. He'll switch from heavy defensive lifting to baseline fuel-saving, putting the massive LiCo pressure right back on Russell & Antonelli! #F1#SpanishGP
@blog_formula1 Kimi has always been vulnerable and his form dips as soon as he enters European circuit. He needs to be a bit careful especially if Ferrari’s package delivers as per expectations.
@WhatsUpRey People.. we have signed Madhushanka. He is power play and death specialist. He will definitely come in if he plays well in the nets because we lack a strong left arm fast bowler.
@WhatsUpRey It will be Head, Klassen, Cummins and Madhushanka. We really need a left arm power play bowler. Madhushanka fits in perfectly. We might replace either Aniket verma or Harsh dubey. Salil Arora will be given lot of chances this season as he has immense potential.
@GoodCFCtakes As a huge Lampard’s fan, he has always done well in Championship (with Coventry, exceptionally well). However, he struggled a lot coping up with premier league. He needs to take more time and work with smaller clubs in premier league to become more consistent and try bigger clubs
Next up: Japanese Grand Prix at Suzuka Circuit.
Completely different challenge:
High-speed esses
Rapid direction changes
Aerodynamic efficiency matters most
If the car is stable in high-speed corners, Hamilton could be fighting near the front again.

Podium for Lewis Hamilton at the Chinese Grand Prix.
Strong tyre management through the long opening corners and consistent race pace made the difference. Shanghai rewards smooth driving - something Hamilton has always excelled at.
#ChineseGP#F1
China usually becomes a strategy race.
The long opening corners punish the front-left tyre, while the long straight encourages teams to run lower downforce.
Lower downforce → better overtaking
Higher downforce → better tyre life
Teams will be balancing this all weekend.

The Shanghai International Circuit is one of the most unique layouts in F1.
• Turns 1–2: tightening spiral corner
• Turns 7–8: fast direction change
• 1.2 km back straight
• Heavy braking into Turn 14
It tests front tyre life, traction, and straight-line speed all in one.
One key takeaway from Australia that might matter for China:
Mercedes looked strongest in high-speed sections, especially during longer runs.
With Shanghai having a long straight and several fast corners, that could be a big advantage again.
