i think thats just procedure, both drivers go to the FIA for a collision to argue the penalty.
You can clearly see, Leclerc is the fastest driver of the both & right behind them Russell is there within touching distance.ismail1991 wrote: ↑01 Jun 2025, 17:34Lewis 2nd stint was good. 3rd stint was good too but bad stop didnt help. I dont like team orders in the beginning of thw race either. They are not racing for championshop, too much team orders for 3rd 4th positionringo wrote: ↑01 Jun 2025, 17:08Poor first stint for Lewis. The medium stint was managed well, he was closing on Charles.
But Charles is just squeezing every drop out of the car. This year for Lewis is really just to acclimatize. No way he is going to be firing harder than Charles at any Grand Prix with the current car. I only see him improving once the rear ens gets upgraded.
I dont think he should have jumped out of the way for Charles so early in the race.
It would not have resulted in any. Progress.
All it did was protect from George. At no point would it have brung Charles into any contention for a podium against Max or a McLaren.
The drivers should just be allowed to race in such an early stage.
Charles was fast enough to overtake on merrit.
Well this podium was a lucky one. But it bagged a lot of points for the team.
Weakest race of the season for Lewis. I guess the car just was giving him any confidence.
He's probably counting down for that suspension upgrade each night.
Mercedes suprisingly have poor reliability and that's helping a lot. Red Bull's second car is no where, and their first car had Red Mist. Ferrari have scored well in this tripple header.
Having a best track means little if you can’t handle the car you’re driving. The Silverstone suspension fix needs to work…if not, then it’s misery all year for him.ScuderiaLeo wrote: ↑01 Jun 2025, 18:33
Thank god for the break, I think both him and the team need some time to recharge. The bad pit stop today was unusual, I think the team must be getting understandably tired after so many tense races. The result wasn't even that bad today points wise, I don't think his drive was as bad as some people here are saying. But I understand Hamilton must be upset after losing out on a potential podium.
We're going to one of his best and favorite tracks next and I hope he can enjoy himself there even if he's behind Leclerc.
It’s obvious leclerc is the fastest driver of the both.
Its not surprising Leclerc is outqualifying him, hes one of the best and is in a car he's familiar with while Lewis has to learn a whole new car and stuff like using engine braking, different modes etc. Sainz said at the start he's not surprised lewis is struggling and that it was going to take Lewis at least 6 months just to get used to how things work and went into how he's "struggling" too. Pretty sure Charles has said similar things as well

personally? id say if at Silverstone where Ferrari introduce the new rear suspension which will help both drivers (ham more) and a track they both go good at, if Ham cant hang with leclerc, then yeawoocasz wrote: ↑01 Jun 2025, 19:05I posted this in the race threadLuscion wrote: ↑01 Jun 2025, 18:56Its not surprising Leclerc is outqualifying him, hes one of the best and is in a car he's familiar with while Lewis has to learn a whole new car and stuff like using engine braking, different modes etc. Sainz said at the start he's not surprised lewis is struggling and that it was going to take Lewis at least 6 months just to get used to how things work and went into how he's "struggling" too.

how long do you think we have to wait to compare two drivers fairly?
one whole season? two? then you would say that Leclerc is in his 9th season at Ferrari and Hamilton is ‘only’ in his 2nd season.
then explain to me how Charles beat Vettel in his 1st season at Ferrari??
Leclerc was 22 and Sebastain 32 at this time.
