@F1GuyDan It is also probably the luckiest start of all time. Dude has literally had a safety car at the right time on almost every occasion .
Race starts -> Kimi not leading -> safety car -> Kimi leads
Let’s see how long this lasts
@Reel_Sarix_@brakeboosted Ferrari is only considered a favorite as they will be closer to Mercedes than ever before this season and they have Charles to potentially make a difference
It does not mean the Mercedes is slower , especially with their upgrades which will be optimized now
@f1_bunnny@the_zb_ Charles has been within a 0.1 off pole or on pole every year since 2021. And he’s had the best car only in 2022 ( he would’ve had pole by 0.5s that day)
@f1_bunnny@the_zb_ Of course, but it is very unlikely based on everything we know so far that others have a “much better” package for Monaco
Even if someone is close/equal, I know Charles can make the difference.
@PenteanoO@wearetherace They would throw money at him lol. You think Aston wouldn’t be able to pay that to get him ? You are clueless
Driver salary is not in cap, they can pay anything they want
@evasantos_as9@AndyGraham22 Your question should be “what does Leclerc see in Ferrari”
Ferrari has seen enough to know how lucky they are to have him. The question is just the other way around
@its_bwoken___@F1Clapped Redbull had a huge engine advantage at high altitude tracks for a long time which makes people think that Max is great at Austria and Mexico
He nearly got beaten to pole there by Leclerc in 2023 while driving the most dominant car of the last decade
@Leap_year_man@brakeboosted Lewis has never been great there and Charles is clearly the best qualifier there.
Things have to go wrong for him to get beaten there
@brakeboosted If Charles attempts one more Hail Mary strategy and ends up the only person on the wrong Tyre, I’m gonna lose my mind !
For once, I will ask Ferrari to just mirror the strategy of either Kimi or Max. I trust Bono and GP to make the right calls for their drivers!
@sruayy@monequaque That is honestly a very poor take. Most of the others basically have their dad following them around, even Lewis
You need to have a group of people who have your best interest at heart and that is extremely hard to find outside of your closest ones
@Alonsalsista@MrFormulaUno But that is true though. Lewis at this point is worse than Sainz on average. His peaks will still be higher, don’t be surprised if he pulls off a spectacular race 2-3 times this year. But Sainz would also beat him as teammates
