Since post Silverstone interviews, Lewis has been saying he is giving documents to the team to change the way some things are handled. It is kinda strange to hear something like this coming from him and not from Fred honestly.
Charles is as well. iirc he talked about how he does his on a tablet cause hes too disorganized for notes
charles about the meetings with elkann and other members of the team: "he (lewis) is preparing his points. i'm preparing my points, and then we are doing big meetings where we are both of us inside the meetings and and then we speak about those points that we want to improve. of course we are aligned with with everything together with the team and everybody is pushing in the same direction, so that there's no stress whatsoever."
charles about the document lewis made:
"i don’t think that this is very different to the team-mates ive had in my career in a way that we are all here to make the team better, and we are all doing this kind of documents in order to point out those points. so on that there’s nothing different.
however, obviously its a unique point of view and lewis had an incredible career, so yeah, these are things that we are looking closely [at].
but it didnt only start it now. i mean it starts from the first race where you have the first points where things are different and youve got to get used to and other things that you want to change and this is part of the process. so i don’t think there’s anything standing out now.
i think maybe its the first time he said it so that’s why it makes such a reaction, but its nothing particular to this moment."
Thing is, drivers can have valid feedback on the car behavior, and they certainly have some valid feedback on game day operations, but none of this is really Ferrari's main issue - which is having a technical department that's just not quite good enough. And the drivers will have F all valid feedback to know how to address any of that. That's simply for the higher ups to figure out. Upper management and technical director and all that.
That said, I do get the impression that Lewis sees himself as some kind of golden catalyst that can magically make things better through sheer force of will and an endless stream of inspirational quotes.
