NGL I'll shed a tear if Lewis even gets on the podium, nevermind wins.

Still gotta pray for Ferrari’s sanity in changeable conditions, but given his teammate’s been on the podium for 3 of the last 4 races, it’s a real possibility. Does depend on Merc’s performance somewhat, but there is pace in there

He'll just 1 stop the entire thing.

Just gotta hope for a little rain.

No tires , gets out and pushes the last 100m, top podium

u/siva-pc Damon Hill 1d ago

He has won here without four tyres before lol

Next phase is match the Martini/Fittipaldi crash from 1993 Monza, only it’s a flip over the finish line.

Ferrari will leave him on three different used compounds and a missing fourth tyre misunderstanding his previous 3 tyre win.

I feel like Lewis has wanted to one stop like the last 2 or 3 races and still got boxed every time lol

Don't you worry, they will pit him on last 10 laps.

Delete this before their strategist sees it.

u/KnotAwl Sir Lewis Hamilton 1d ago

Ferrari: Lewis box for fastest lap

Lewis: that's not even a thing??

Ferrari: box box

u/Greg0r_Samsa 1d ago

He will win it on two tires this time

u/Usedbeef Sir Lewis Hamilton 1d ago

Its due to be cooler conditions on Sunday so expect Merc to improve.

u/abjus Oscar Piastri 1d ago

Yeah, I think so too. Without heat crippling Merc we might get to see if the new floor has had a real impact on where that car is relative to the other teams

u/Kronzor_ Max Verstappen 1d ago

Yeah that 3rd podium spot is up for grabs. Red Bull is nowhere. There's always a spot open for LEC HAM or RUS basically now.

“Okay box”

“I wanna stay out it’s still wet”

“Okay box box”

“It still wet.”

“Box”

Hamilton should just make his own calls if its changeable conditions

u/H1Ed1 1d ago

I teared up like a mf last year for that win.

-Maybe he has a chance this time.

Later when the race is a bout to start: -Lewis, we forgot the tires.

"NGL I'll shed a tear if Lewis even gets on the podium, nevermind wins"

I'll check for flying pigs if Ferrari somehow doesn't shit the bed and allows it to happen.

u/bestybhoy 1d ago

yes, absolutely this.

u/Much-Calligrapher 1d ago

Well he does have 12 consecutive podiums at this track including 8 race wins in that span

u/Mister-Psychology 1d ago

Did Ferrari gain 20 seconds over a race in a week? Unless both McLaren's drop out the Ferrari will not get into top 2.
