I would much rather get rid of the double/triple headers and go every other week or something... probably not the easiest on the teams/drivers/logistics, but hey, it works better for me.

These multiple week breaks should account for time zones more than anything else. People traveling from Asia to the Americas, I would say they need a 2-3 week rest (30hr flights) plus adapting to the time change.

I'm ready for this season to end and Mercedes to be irrelevant without HAM.

At the moment, Hammy's biggest competitor in the WDC is his teammate Russel. So that is the driver that is the closest to Hamilton when it comes to drivers performance, they even drive the same car. They are very very closely matched, only 2 points apart atm.

So how is that gonna go next year? Who's the better driver: Russel or Leclerc?

They don't drive the same car, HAMs setup is absolute not the same spec as Georges, and Mercedes has admitted as such. It's also funny that Lewis went from being the ONLY person who could challenge RB last season to middling - and at the same time, Toto and the press are calling Lewis washed.

I've seen this character assassination before, and I believe Lewis will be vindicated.

I've never been a fan of Mercedes - I drive a BMW ( ) after all, I'm not German and I honestly don't care what stickers they slap on the chassis.
I have been a fan of Lewis because he's the first of his kind, and not just a generational talent, but actually someone is borderline (if not) superhuman. He's truly exceptional.

I was not speaking about our German BWM cars ...

As far as I know , Ferrari is more than just a sticker on the chassis
That's why your man LEW will be there ..

But who is borderline and superhuman , truly exceptional ?

No one can drive the RED car like Charlie , and that won't change in 2025 ...
LEW has zero chance vs Charlie .

That's why LEW's end is near my friend .

2025 ?
Ferrari warhorses like we've never seen them before (!)
Charlie will do it like he has done it with SEB (Sebastian Vettel)
