Hamilton, Verstappen & Sainz are excellent examples of the driver having enough headroom to think strategically whilst piloting at the limits of performance. Ross Brawn always spoke of Schumacher having that extra capacity. Huge respect to all the drivers, but Lando, Leclerc always seem to demonstrate that they're closer to the edge mentally, not as calm, and unable to have that clarity. Lando's history from the Russian GP onwards shows he doesn't display that he's matured in that respect, nor have the team learnt how to manage him to maximise their potential. McLaren didn't take the opportunity to instruct Piastri to hold station or fall back to preserve a gap when it was understood that everyone would have to pit for inters when the 2nd spell of rain arrived.

It was a truly historic and very memorable GP.
Just want to say Hulkenberg is one of if not the biggest what ifs in F1. Such a shame he’s been overlooked by the big teams. He’s rapid and consistent. Also, I feel mentally LH has proven so much to himself with this victory, AD21 knocked the stuffing out him real bad as it would to anyone, but he handled it really well. Remember he is 39 against a very young and rapid Russell and he’s c. 1/1.5 tenths behind & we know he’s not performing at his best & is leaving the team. Just goes to show how good he really is

Has the hulk ever underperformed relative to his machinery? A decade in the sport and not one year in a car that was really capable of giving him podiums on merit. Very sad.
Come on guys, how can you forget about Lewis's 2020 Silverstone win on 3 tyres?
Unfortunately Leclerc is not showing his initial form, maybe he is not the driver that was initially hyped.

What I don't understand, Carlos was let go by Ferrari for a reason of performance, so why would Mercedes sign him? Mercedes needs Max or upgrade Antolleli. Carlos is a one time hit guy.

The W14 last year was fast in the slow corners but slow in the fast corners; if the had this front wing last year, which allows them to be fast in both the slow and fast corners, the W14 last year would have been very fast.

after soaking it all in as a Ham fan and it was his day, still also awestruck by how good Max really is. we kind of take him for granted because of how dominant he's been but GD. he had a shitty weekend by his standards til the first stint and was still fighting for the win by the end. both are GOATs and i appreciate them
Even if you listen to Piastri and Tom Stallard it’s clear and concise whereas Lando and Will Joseph is a complete mess.
It certainly gave me a lump in my throat, so happy for him.

You guys show Yuki no respect at the start of the program. Then you get on to him scoring a point but immediately cut it off to go back to talk about haas and Hulk, and then never bother to finish what you were going to say about Yuki, or credit him or anything? Not a fan boy but definitely performing well enough to be in that Red Bull. No respect??
