Hamilton didn’t get outperformed in 22. He outqualified russell and was faster in the races. Russell benefited from multiple safety cars situations to finish in front when he was going to finish behind. Hamilton was outscored that season but he was the better driver overall and he proved it in 23. This season it looks like Russell is outperforming him so far but Lewis always starts out slowly. Like I said before let’s see what it looks like after a few races. But grizzleboy made a great point about ham not getting full support from the team because he is departing to Ferrari. That was always going to be the case.
Yes he did, Russell had more highs and less extreme lows, he was more consistent over the course of the season.
No, he didn't make a great point, you think Hamilton is the only driver in history to leave a team? If we want to go down that line then McLaren clearly favoured Hamilton in 2007 so his victory over Alonso doesn't count.
No he did not. If you’re getting outqualified and getting dropped in the races regularly you didn’t outperform anyone. You got lucky and scored points that you shouldn’t have. He won Brazil because max hit Lewis in the first lap. But Lewis always comes back usually. If not this year I think he will surprise next year. We shall see.
Stop inventing, Russell got off to a flying start whilst Hamilton was struggling in the midfield.
As for Brazil, again, stop inventing, Russell drove brilliantly all weekend, put half a second on Lewis in qualifying and Lewis had no answer in both the sprint and the main race.
