I respect this guy for his driving (only), but the way he has been sulking the entire 2024, like a petulant child who has lost his toy, it's ugly. This is plain unprofessional.

I agree and don’t agree at the same time. While yes you we can see it as unprofessional but from other perspective we don’t know the other side of the story was. It’s apples to oranges comparison between him and Russel who obviously he’s highly motivated and he is the golden star of Mercedes and he has the future prospects to be a WDC with them.

I’d like to bet and bite my ass if I end up being incorrect but give Max the same treatment without proper car but keep in mind from start of the year and give it a couple of time, he will do the same and probably with faster rate based on his personality, I don’t count his motivation to racing, that comes if it’s down the line and he sees the prospects for winning.

Lewis' driving style really just aint working with these cars, he's being coached by Bono to stop braking late into corners and brake earlier like Russell is

I respect this poster for his typing only, and I find his labelling of the phrases like, "grateful", "I feel lucky to be here", "amazing athletes" and "leave with gratitude", as petulant when addressing a driver who time and time again doesn't resort to profanities when things aren't going his way, to be blatant hypocrisy or nonsensical at least.

It's reminiscent of Ricciardo being coached at Mclaren.

GR is starting to show why he had the most impressive F2 rookie season I can remember (only close with Leclerc). Kimi is hyped, but George had the better junior career, and is now entering his prime in F1. He is ready to lead the team, and I think it will be quite a few years before Kimi can deliver a fight over a full year.

Agreed. Next year will be telling if he can hang with Leclec or be thereabouts. It will be sad if 2026 cars don't fit his style and I expect him to bow out with grace.

Tougher Pirelli tires next year in a car that, hopefully, doesnt kill its rear tires if your too aggressive with it like the Merc, i expect an improvement

Stark differences in what Lewis and Wolff are saying after quali, Lewis saying he's just slow and its not the car. Toto saying the w15 in particular just cant handle his driving style, they just need to give him a car he can drive (too late for that imo) and thats he's not saying anything cause he's team oriented but Lewis is not happy with the car
