Issues for who? I'm just saying, if some of the people on here would take the perspective of Sainz instead of always Leclerc...
We´re reading people eager to see Hamilton on Sainz seat, claiming he´s a true team player, much better than Sainz...
Lewis is a team player when it comes to car development. If it comes down to him having a chance at winning a World Championship? He'll leave Leclerc in the dust.
This thread will be funny next season
It's always a funny thread, like the Redbull and McLaren threads.
RBR, Renault and McLaren, all of them claimed Sainz is a team player. But now Hamilton, who apart from a great driver has always been greedy and shellfish like few others (even on his rookie season!) is claimed as a team player

Top drivers are always greedy, Lewis in 2007 was awesome to watch, just as much as it was awesome to watch Alonso's anger at being challenged. As for Sainz? He's leaving the team, he doesn't really owe them
anything given they replaced him with the Lewis.
I give it 3-4 GPs as much, until first reality check
If Lewis is on it from the get go, Leclerc will struggle.
Leclerc is Ferrari golden boy, they´ve always protect him. We´ll see next season with a 7xWDC teammate, things can go south so quickly even those criticizing Sainz now, will miss him
Ferrari signed Lewis for his driving skills and his marketablity. You can be the Ferrari goldenboy one minute, and then the number 2 the next. Ferrari rarely show loyalty to drivers past a certain point. They shoved Schumacher out the door when he was still driving well. Leclerc has to step up, Ferrari have other options.
Reality is Leclerc is not that top driver he was expected to be. He´s probably one of the best in Q if not the best, but lacks consistency on race trim. Some GPs he´s great, some others, or even some other stints, he´s not.
Leclerc lacks consistency at times, but that doesn't make him not a top driver. In fact he's been fairly consistent this season. And Ferrari have made some very poor decisions in the past couple of seasons, so not everything is down to Leclerc. Though Fred has started to improve the decision making processes at Ferrari, still more work to do.
Luckily for him, Hamilton is past his prime tough, so if he can beat him fair and square, he can keep Ferrari favouritism. Otherwise Ferrari will implode next season
Lewis is not past his prime, he's just been unmotivated due to Mercedes producing one stinker after another in the current regulation set. Lewis checked out of Mercedes a while ago. He was having fun yesterday in the race, showing off his tyre management and overtaking skills.
If it's Ferrari vs Redbull? You'd want Lewis leading the charge in the drivers title battle against Verstappen.
