Well looks like we have a new Ayrton Senna on the making.
You've had someone better than Senna for years now, you're just too blind to see it. And I watched Senna (even live).

Super lap from Kimi.
Maybe George is overdriving due to the pressure to perform

I said on the making (like showing Senna like ability) not equal yet. There's none equal to Senna yet. Schumacher and Hamilton came close but I still think Senna was better due to him performing miracles in cars that were nowhere near the top (Tolemann, Lotus, Mclaren Ford) and when I say nowhere near I am talking about 2 seconds of a difference. Let's see if Antonelli will be the one but I don't know if today's cars allow drivers to shine considering the car is doing 80% of the work. But you know what I like in Antonelli? He is a ruthless attacking driver but he is clean as he will never push you off the track.

George is under pressure and Kimi is now Merc poster boy. Not sure what have changed. Perhaps Kimi has gotten better.

Russell is suffering from the same issues that Antonelli did last year; the car just isn't fitting his hands. Simply. The same as Piastri last year, even Hamilton late in the season when he couldn't get past Q1. Adaptability is everything.
