The Story of Lewis Hamilton's Most Underrated Championship (2017)

Part I - Setting the Stage Image A quick note before I begin:

In this thread I will often express qualifying times expressed as a %, rather than in seconds. This is to better represent qualifying gaps between drivers, as particularly short or long tracks can often distort the true gap between drivers.

Leclerc’s father passed in June 2017.

48 hours later he was back in an F2 car, took pole, took fastest lap and won the feature race, and then came from 8th to 2nd (with FL again) in the sprint race

He scored 45/48 points in one weekend, a record that hasn’t been broken since.

The story of Hamilton's most underrated season (Part 1) - 2011 Image The story opens at pre-season in Jerez, where Hamilton and co. immediately have their work cut out for them.

Mclaren's MP4-26 challenger is both slow and woefully unreliable, with commentator Martin Brundle even going so far to describe it as "a mess".

The story of how Kimi Raikkonen almost won 12 races in a row (LONG THREAD) Image Before I begin I would just like to say that this isn't a "who was better" or "who deserved it more" thread.

Both Kimi and Fernando drove fantastic and very different seasons, with both men equally deserving of a championship that ultimately fell into Alonso's hands. Image

Comparing Hamilton and Russell in 2022 so far, removing as much bad luck & outliers as possible Bahrain

Russell is misadvised in his last run in Q3, qualifying P9. However, he recovers to P4 with Hamilton just ahead in P3. Solid start to the season!

HAM = 15pts
RUS = 12pts

Unpopular opinion: Red Bull were just as quick as Mercedes at Jeddah 2021

While Mercedes had a noticeable straight-line speed advantage over the field, Red Bull's focus on downforce allowed them to blitz Sector 1 before Merc made back the time in S2 and S3. Image In Qualifying, Max was ~0.2s ahead of Lewis but unfortunately lost his lap after crashing at the final corner, forcing him to start 3rd.

While Max built up the majority of that gap in Sector 1, what was most impressive was how he matched Lewis' S2 time. Image
