Wow well done to Charles....as usual carrying the car on his back...blah lap from his less than capable team mate
Are you really comparing a 7 time world champion, the statistically most successful F1 driver in history…to someone that wasn’t even close to even win one title
You must be a comedian
Sorry, but I'm going to be completely honest here – aren't people the comedians who praise a driver's past achievements and say that you can't compare him and his actual abilities to someone who consistently beats him in the present? Hamilton may have achieved what he wanted in the past, but what counts is the present and this is what was talked about. And there he is, simply slow and repeatedly beaten by his teammates (Leclerc isn't the first), looking anything but good. And past achievements don't make a driver incomparable in the present. Of course he is. And the comparison in the present paints a clear picture. He already looked bad against Russell at Mercedes, and now he's doing the same against Leclerc at Ferrari. So actually, in my opinion, a comedian is someone who draws on long-past glories to evaluate a driver in the present or to place him above another who is currently and continuously whipping the floor with him. Its the here and now that counts and what the "comparison" was in relation to, not what was 10 years ago.
