It’s slowly becoming apparent that Hamilton is very much used to getting special treatment compared to his teammates.

Entitled with lack of self awareness.

“What do you think about MS’s tribute?”

“Well I have 7 stars as well so that’s cool.”

It’s not about you..

He could simply lift a bit in 2nd corner and he would had been fine keeping his place in 1st lap at least. He is not 18 years old and from all the grid he is a 7 time world champion and knows this better than any of us here. If he was faster he could had pass or team orders would had come. I see excuses constantly.

Charles could have also left him room

Mor like his brain dead teammate should have realized he lost the place to Lewis when he left the door open!

First thing is incredible race from Kimi - just phenomenal, one of the best I’ve ever seen, and that last lap was incredible. He deserved it and would have taken it no matter what we did. Sad that the Italian team missed its multi generational talent but that’s another story…

And everyone executing at Ferrari (ie excluding the technical team but very much including both drivers) need to hang their heads in shame. The drivers shouldn’t be fighting each other - and they should have been told this and I’m sure they aren’t - the mistake from Charles (who doesn’t seem to deal with close yo-yoing very well), the tyre strategy for Lewis (inexplicable not to use the VSC) and so on and so on. I don’t even know what the race pace was like given all the variables and bs. Ridiculous.

The drivers championship is obviously done for both (in particular Charles) but we also won’t win races with this execution. They need code red, come-to-Jesus talks to really set a new baseline. Some kind of papaya rules and new way of doing strategy because it’s week after week that they don’t maximise the car.

He did pass lol.

Contrary to what Crofty and Brundle immediately and incorrectly stated,.Nico Rosberg just put them in their place and explained that the rule state that once you are in his position, the inside car does not have the right to take you off the track.

Lewis made a clean pass, did not crowd Charles off the track, and simply expected his team mate to follow the rules and not put him in the gravel.

I dont think theres anything more to it. Charles already called it an error. He knows he shouldn't have put Lewis in the gravel.

I doubt anyone at Ferrari is more mad at Lewis that he tried to make (and did make) a clean pass, than they are at Charles for effectively ruining the race for their entire team with two seperate errors.

That said, I wouldnt be surprised if Lewis being left out to dry on tyres that already werent working long before the VSC, could be because they mayne blame him for all of the T1 events. Doesn't make sense, but I cant explain what other possible reason there would be for keeping your driver on a one stop with dead tyres when you have the opportunity to get fresh rubber handed to you on a plate.

They both could have lifted off…they both were too desperate to be ahead.

They both have enough experience to know better. But here we are, the team allowed the inmates the run the asylum.
A winning culture is bred from day one…not when you get a fast car but from day one. This team doesn’t understand that and so they foster a recklessness to their operations and then act surprised when chaos happens.

The updates worked. The car will be much much closer in so many of the remaining races. But who would trust them to execute?

Only his clueless fans think he has crashed his Ferrari much more than Il predestinato using lovely brembo brakes built in Monaco.

I mean to those saying team orders..

The team orders today should have been;

Lewis, you got outqualified, no heroics on the first lap. If you are faster, we will swap the cars during the race.

That's it.

This is the result of a team managed by literal clowns.
If you want to bet on Hamilton just hire a pure second driver like Bottas or whatever. Leclerc should have been fired immediately. Leclerc Hamilton is the worst driver pair in the entire grid.
It’s an interesting point - you could argue that, if they were going to sign Hamilton, it would have made more sense to keep Sainz as his partner - still very fast and good but more likely to slot in behind on pure performance.

But my argument would be not to have signed Lewis at all - if they had got him 10 years earlier, great, but at this stage you needed to leave the team alone unless you could get Max. They now need to think about if they can get Kimi after he wins a couple of championships with Mercedes and built the team around him. No point getting these guys after they’ve peaked.

Charles does it all the time, telling Lewis he isn't allowed to make clean passes is BS.

I mean, you are asking for team orders. Team orders are not fair just by principle alone.

Hamilton was never going to leave Mercedes as they were 1s quicker than Ferrari 10 years ago.
Ferrari is managed by incompetents frauds. You want to bet on Hamilton? Just hire a clueless second driver. In any event, it doesn't really matter. There was no pace in the car so what happened earlier had a very small impact overall.
