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

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.

Overtaking on-track in Monaco is a rare sight due to the narrow streets, with the last significant pass for the lead occurring in 1985 when Michele Alboreto overtook Alain Prost at Sainte Devote. Pit strategy and incidents typically determine position changes here. Last year’s race saw minimal overtaking due to a red flag stoppage resulting in a processional tire-management race. The FIA recently approved a rule requiring drivers to use at least three sets of tires in Monaco, aiming to increase strategic variety. The introduction of the new C6 tire,…
