This is only 20hp and this shows it well, Tifosi aren’t as far behind if you drive like Lewis

So the car now looks beautifully balanced. Look how much confidence Lewis now has on the brakes to do his signature late braking and it still beats Verstappen to this day.

We have underrated our car somewhat as with the right driver it is very close. 20HP is probably correct with the deficit. Lewis loves flowing tracks like this as it allows him to adapt his lines and adapt his approaches to apex’s.

The regulations robbed us of a showdown and our strategy lacked but don’t get it twisted. There’s an opportunity here for Ferrari and Leclerc and Lewis can utilise this with their ability.

Best two drivers on the grid. Today we were rescued embarrassment from Lewis’ ability in the rain though on slicks.
