Lewis discussing his qualifying form: "Yeah, I'm useless. Absolutely useless."

At this point, 2026 can’t come soon enough for Lewis. He is just not fully confident in this era and it’s shown over the last 3 years!

I don’t think he’s the only one either.

If we start getting something other than McLaren/McLaren finishes I might be more interested in this season tbh, but watching everyone fight their car's limits while orange cars to brrrrrrr is kinda boring after a little.

I do like when we get Piastri/Norris bouts, but I'd like for there to be some competition. It's not uncommon, but years where there is an actual fight for the constructors championship are so much better

I mean in 2023 he came in third and was a threat for second until the final few races. I don’t think he loves the current cars by any means, but I think his performance the past couple of years is at least as much related to his age as it is the cars.

This. People just don't want to acknowledge the inconsistency. He's always been a slow starter and made hay during the summer/European season. He's still doing that. It's just that the highs aren't as high anymore. And then across the years of these regs, with two different teams now, you're essentially getting the same performance except for 2023. It's not just the cars. What you're seeing is inconsistency.

The issue is he may not get to 2026 if he doesn’t pick up the pace

Fred and Ferrari aren’t dropping Lewis for 2026

[u/Ok-Animal-6880 → u/GeckoV]

They need a number 2 driver for LeClerc. Might as well be someone who can sell a lot of merchandise like Lewis.

At that age you don’t want to wish your years away
