I’m a Mercedes Fan, and always will be. But I’m sick of the way they are treating Louis!!! He deserves the upgrades first because he is the best driver. But this year they choose to sabotage him and act like George Russell is a better driver than Lewis Hamilton.
Lol Hamilton is washed and Leclerc is gonna beat the hell out of him just like he did with vettel and sainz, you lot are just too delusional to realise that
@@francescotrombetta8548 I think Ferrari and Leclerc are praying that becomes true. Hamilton is at the end of a fabulous career whereas Charles has not quite begun his yet. Hamilton’s role at Ferrari is as much about mentoring ( the whole team) as actual driving. - Fred isn’t stupid buddy….

@@francescotrombetta8548 yes that could well become true, although Leclerc has been around for a few years now and hasn’t performed that well (since Ferrari had to “downgrade” their engine specification to ensure the correct fuel compliance a few seasons back..)

Then again the history of Ferrari has not been kind to some great drivers, yet to be truly great at Ferrari requires all the Gods to align at the right time and guide the team...
Love the pod cast, opens up many unknowns in the F1 Business, it would be great if you could get Damon Hill on the show, ( if his contract with Sky allows it] Damon F1 world champ drove for EJ and Williams, the Senna situation, the SchumacherS incidents, being unceremoniously dumped by Frank Williams and that dreaded Yamaha Engine, Etc, Etc
He went to America for an hour and came back with a US accent, rolling his R's etc. So get ready for Buongiorno, Ciao, non mangio carne, how do you say...😂
Dont be a turnip. It takes about 2 weeks to pick up a US accent. Lewis has property there and spends a lot of time with Yanks- what do you expect??? I mean as a kid I lived for a while in Holland speaking English to my Dutch schoolmates who learned English from US tv and films and when we got back people said I spoke with a US accent.
Only British people who speak 1 language would say that. No he won’t and they know he won’t. He’s too old, for 99% of people your brain can’t learn a first language that late in life
@@TifosiLegend44 yes. I’d like to think that gaining Hamilton (and doubtless some of his colleagues) is Ferrari’s best chance of a renaissance since Michael and Ross. Let’s hope so anyway. We really need some more championship winning teams other than just Merc and RB for the good of the sport, and to return to the sport of the good…
Smedley joining Lewis, do you want to crush Massa's soul? That might send him over the edge, and Massa seems like he gets further out on edge year after year, especially after the Brazil race has finished.
I can’t believe Massa thinks he’s got a legitimate claim. If losing the title to Lewis because Glock was on the wrong tyres constitutes a legitimate claim, then Lewis has a slam dunk case against Michael Masi!
It's a shame because I used to have a soft spot for Massa for taking Brazil 2008, his head injury, and being forced to being number 2 to Alonso, on the chin with grace. There's great admirability in maintaining a good attitude in rough times even if you're not the best and don't achieve much, much like Martin Brundle, Johnny Herbert, Rubens Barrichello etc. Now he's currently destroying the one thing we can look back on his career fondly about, cause lets face it he was never an Alonso, a Raikkonen, a Hamilton, not even a Button. but if being given a title in court nearly 2 decades on makes him happy, then what can I say?
Italians have a big heart over and above any other team and because of this Lewis will go on to get himself an Italian girlfriend as well.Haha.How did that grab you?
@@slug.racingI think you have to realise that it's easier for a7 time world champion to be bored by poor performance than an up and coming driver. George and he are in totally different places
@@rajeeb3500 bored is not a word used by a world champion. Having said that Hamilton is no world champion he was lucky to be in a car 2 seconds a lap faster then everyone else. A monkey could have won in that car.
Not a fan of either but clinically I want to see if Lewis and Ferrari can work well together. I always presume that people are conditioned to a certain way of working if you have been with a team as long as Lewis has. It took Fred a year to reorganize the team to show some progress. I hope that they give Lewis some time to adjust.
Lewis has the ability, Ferrari doesn't. Vasseur will give them the best chance they've had in years, but I see the Ferrari nature will win over. It's a shame, because it would be great to see Ferrari do well. But it is the team where the best drivers go to start the decline of their careers. Schumacher and Raikonnen are just the exceptions to the rule.
@@RacingWithChuck27 Ah ok, thanks. Joe Saward discussed this on Missed Apex Podcast recently. Unfortunately I can't remember the exact technical reason why but basically it's not happening any time soon.
People all of a sudden praising sainz like he is a world killer 😂 if anyone else other then lewis replaced him they wouldnt care .. racism is bad in f1 fans
No frl. Like the way people said it was ‘just the car’ about Lewis for years but apparently Max is just pure talent… like huh? He’s had the most dominant car ever and a wet noodle of a team mate but he doesn’t get any shit for that, meanwhile Lewis did have the best car but had decent to actually threatening team mates but that makes him a fraud? It’s ridiculous. Don’t get me wrong I think both of them are great and I think the car vs driver argument is so loaded and biased to whoever people like. But the double standard is insane. Personally it seems like all the people who got triggered by Lewis’ politics and or skin colour chose Max as their champion because of 2021 lol. It’s a real problem, the fanbase in general is just sorta shitty and toxic. It’s got to be the worst sports fanbase I’ve ever seen and I’m a football fan lmao. It’s a shame.

Are speaking about the traitor Rob Smedley? This guy has nothing to say about formula 1. Shame on you! Don't you have anything interesting to speak about? Then please, shut-up!
I think Charles will be quicker than Lewis. I think Ferrari cannot sustain winning form for an entire season, for a long time now, and that 2025 will be no exception.
I think Hamilton’s is past his best but people may be sleeping on him. If he’s anywhere near his old self next year he’ll have the pace on Leclerc especially on Sundays
Finally my two favorite in f1 are united: Ferrari and Lewis ❤

Wait til Lewis has a car worthy of his talent again. Going to be a lot of crying. Correction even more crying from the haters.
F1 needs him to come back to the front and compete with max.
Lewis haters are not known as Crybabies, Lewis and his fans are!😊
@51bikerboy your name speaks volumes lol
And he’s older and a bit slower…so talented and I do hope he takes wins…but beating leclerc ? Not sure about that
@@andyfry745if Carlo has beaten Leclerc , why a stolen 8 times world champion would nt able to do so ????
Ferrari are praying that Leclerc picks up at least just a fragment of Lewis’s brilliance. …

- Copy, we are checking...
Rob please come back to F1, we miss you . Lewis and you would be a great twosome at Ferrari. x
If Ferrari can provide a winning car (not based on dnf from max) this will surely motivate Lewis to fight for championship!
I can see Rob at Williams if the changes James is making come through
It’s fantastic news for Ferrari and Lewis. The team and a wonderful driver combo will deliver a Ferrari world championship, no question.
Then again the history of Ferrari has not been kind to some great drivers, yet to be truly great at Ferrari requires all the Gods to align at the right time and guide the team...
If you had put Verstappen in a V10 from the 90s, he would have had a career ending injury before the end of his first season.
If we'd still have V10 from the 90s, a lot of the grid wouldn't be in the cockpit.
‘Felippe baby be cool’

I think Ferrari will lead the way in the new regulations
How do you come to that conclusion?
@@SteveT-0 estimate, no one really knows
Rob n massa’s radio convos use to be good, you could tell they had a close relationship
Lewis needs to recommend a performance coach to charles
And his name may be Lewis Hamilton …

fairly certain he knows this.
Tell that to Schumacher.
His Italian was incredibly basic.

@@zoltandoubious6183exactly. Not to mention their last world champion (kimi) didn’t speak any either
If Hamilton thought that speaking Italian at Marinello was important in his role, you can guarantee that he is already fluent!! 😁
Ferrari’s brand has huge political and economic power in F1. They’re really the only team F1 cannot afford to lose.
Ferrari culture is to crush the drivers unless you have a team around to shield them like Michael had back in the day.
Lewis to Ferrari it’s game changer
😂😂😂😂😂😂
I get the impression that Hamilton’s job at Ferrari isn’t just about driving….🤔
It’s Lewis Hamilton. It’s always more than just driving. No other driver brings this appeal. Hence Ferrari gave him whatever he wants.
