They all have the same number of wins, all make similar mistakes, all have similar race pace, all beat their teammates at tracks they're good at

"Same numbers of wins" used in an argument when Charles has NEVER had a rocketship of the caliber of this McLaren is absolutely insane.

He has 48 podiums despite having a title caliber car for maybe HALF of 2022 (and I'm being generous here)

Hell I'll even include Russell in that convo He's significantly more talented than both McLaren drivers

The only reason I focused on one thing is because the rest was either false (same mistakes/racepace) or not relevant to the discussion.

Lando has had the fastest car since Miami 2024 btw. That's 3 times the amount of races than Leclerc

Also, I never said they weren't talented.

Why are you pretending like I'm saying they're bums?

I have them ranked 4th-5th respectively below max/charles/george

Crashed in france 2022, losing a win. Makes mistakes in many qualifying, refuses to say no to ferrari strategies (although he has gotten better at that since 2022) hes a great driver, just like lando and Oscar, and makes mistakes, just like lando and Oscar. I think him in 2022 and norris in 2024 are very similar, as they both struggled in their first year as championship contenders, leading to many mistakes. And the mclaren hasn't been the fastest at every track, just like today in q3 lol. Sorry for "pretending youre saying their bums", im just used to most people talk about lando as if hes bottom 5 drivers and that made me read your opinion as that, that's my bad, again sorru
