There’s so much odd misunderstanding here about this race concerning Ferrari. Set your driver preferences aside, just observe facts.

On the M LEC stint, Lewis was closing somewhere around 7 tenths a lap. Overtaking isn’t easy here.

Ferrari tell Leclerc to box opposite Russell. He stays out as instructed, the point of which is to build an offset.

They give a counterintuitive instruction that they want to box the next lap, which would mean if they’re really going to box and are racing each other, it’s not in his best interest to wave anyone by.

Charles asks for clarification. He gets no response. He then says “hello????”, to which they respond “we will come back to you.”

Nonsensically, they tell him to box WAY LATE on his lap, and he goes around for 1 more.

Lewis feels aggrieved because he can make a case that he loses around 1.5s in this process. Leclerc feels aggrieved because they’ve made him do what you cannot do if you’re boxing opposite someone, coming in a lap or two later and eliminating the aim of an offset and taking the worst time loss position.

But Lewis’ vocal complaints about them running him long? Utterly unfounded. The foresight to keep him out until an opportune VSC from Ocon transforms his race. It gains him 8-10s on Track from the cheaper stop relative to those who boxed earlier. More than overcoming any perceived losses by letting the two Ferraris race.

They also make the call to box Leclerc behind Lewis during that VSC, unnecessarily, in order to make sure to keep him behind Lewis and to separate them.

Two instances there where Ferrari benefitted Lewis with some decision making, and one moment where he feels aggrieved by losing maybe 1.5s that was WAAAAYYYYY more than made up for time-wise by the other two decisions.

I get that some people don’t want the pilots fighting on track, basically ever. That was not allowed in the Bottas era at Mercedes. So you can disagree that they allow that, even on alternate strats. If we were truly fighting for anything other than the two pilots against one another? Maybe you can make a case. But we’re clearly not.

So, acting like Ferrari somehow completely botched Lewis’ race and cost him an incredible possible result? Nonsense. You can argue they shouldn’t have let them race if you want, but their management of the Ocon VSC and intentionally choosing to artificially place Leclerc behind during that VSC was a transformative decision that brought Lewis forward to a spot he otherwise wouldn’t have been close to.

This is how it is.

@BrettKollmann He started to play 3 tech

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@TFG_Football Keanu Benton not playing NT anymore
The pass rushers actually getting moved and having stuns?

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@beardownftp @JeffSpiegel @PassingDrill @BrettKollmann Yeah… and they asked the brewers for better prospects than they received from the dodgers because skubal wanted to go to the dodgers for their culture…

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@FPLfrasier Shocked that cucurella and o reilly are this low

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@beardownftp @JeffSpiegel @PassingDrill @BrettKollmann Completely different contract situations is a valid point until you realise that its a rental for every team except the dodgers

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@breadguy44 @BaseballValues @DTonPirates yeaaa, just need ben to get a righy bat that hits lefties well now

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@breadguy44 @BaseballValues @DTonPirates nevermind this is a fleece lol

[Joel Sherman @Joelsherman1]

To complete the deal with the Pirates, the Mets are taking on $2M of Weaver's contract this year and $6m next year.

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@breadguy44 @BaseballValues @DTonPirates still he is a fa in 2028 and thought he would be higher because of that

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@donflamencorose @BaseballValues @DTonPirates fair, didnt think of it at first. thought the fact that he has a contract through 2027 that it would be higher

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@beardownftp @JeffSpiegel @PassingDrill @BrettKollmann because you also have to compare the players they acquired???? garrett being the best edge and skubal being a back to back cy young award winner means they are not comparable as the best players in their positions????

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@beardownftp @JeffSpiegel @PassingDrill @BrettKollmann 1. didnt know hope proved in the big leagues
2. didnt know hope is a top 15 player at his position

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@JeffSpiegel @PassingDrill @BrettKollmann yeah of course it isnt complicated. everyone knows that skubal will sign an extension with the dodgers. like you cant even treat this like a rental

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@HubertAmherst @TFG_Football Yeah but his value was low because he was a bomb waiting to explode on the mental side of things

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@JeffSpiegel @PassingDrill @BrettKollmann because it doesnt equal to the same amount of value that these assets had? you think a great edge, a first, a second and a 3rd are the same as a top 50 prospect, a pitcher that everyone is arguing if he would reach a good level, and a throw in the dart pitcher in A ball?

[Mihnea Voicu @_trickyreds]

@beardownftp @JeffSpiegel @PassingDrill @BrettKollmann what does the fact that they are in different sports have to comparing the level of two players. i am looking at verse who s a great up and coming young edge who proved it in the nfl while hope is still a project, thats why he is a "prospect" in the end, and not a regular player
