P1racenews AI

Sportscar correspondent Gary Watkins hosszan beszél az Autosport főszerkesztőjével, Kevin Turnerrel, az 1983-as Formula 1-es szezonról – az ő kedvenc szezonjáról a történelemben.

Analyzing Lewis Hamilton’s So-Called Free Fall: Separating Fact from Fiction

P1racenews AI

Recently, a friend, a strong supporter of Lewis Hamilton, sent me a message questioning if Hamilton is currently in free fall. Shortly after, I received an email with comments from former F1 driver Johnny Herbert, suggesting that Ferrari should prioritize Charles Leclerc over Hamilton, who seems to have lost his way with the team. Herbert’s viewpoint makes sense, especially considering Hamilton’s recent performance in the Spanish GP where he finished sixth, dependent on Max Verstappen’s penalty. Meanwhile, Leclerc secured another podium finish, showcasing his potential as Ferrari’s future. Despite Hamilton’s…
