LH track performance in recent years was a shadow of his past, not sure if its due to the car or age.
And F1 cars with its hybrid engine, is a lot more complicated and there are so many different setting drivers can make to get the best out of the car. Switch from Merc to Ferrari is perhaps like switch from PS2 to Xbox gaming console. And this is part where LH may be still be struggling.
Perhaps with age drivers may start to experience decline sensory function which make it harder to adapt and drive at the limit with full concentration.
Uhh a shadow of the past? Of course he's not in his prime but his 23 was awesome and the wins last year were nice as well. You act like he's crashing every other race lol. Everyone needs to take a chill pill
The LH of the past rarely get beaten by teammate in qualifying or in race, but now its 50/50 chance.
With Charles in Ferrari, I think it may be 60/40 in Charles favor. '
Like all champion from the past, no one stay at the top forever.
Same goes to Max, eventually be will be beaten in the same car if he stick around long enough
Hamilton almost got P2 in the WDC in the 3rd or arguably 4th best car in 2023.
He is still really good, but he was clearly extremely frustrated with mercedes and was running out of patience. Alonso also tends to have peaks and valleys in his performances when the car is crap. It isn't an indication of a lack of skill or talent, but rather an indication of a lack of patience.

He's doing just fine still. He might not be a match for Leclerc, Norris or Verstappen at this point, but he's still a great driver and is far from destroying his legacy.
If he is at his prime he will be faster then these three, just that I want to say.
Problem is now, Lewis haters use loosing to team mates as proof that he was just average driver, so in that sense he is ruin his legacy.
People forgot that Lewis at his first year often defeat Alonso-two time WC.
What the hell is this? A fake quote that isn't written by me.
This is very clearly not written by me and the quote redirects to a completely different comment. Don't put words in my mouth please.
