Does anyone know if the circuit is going to be open for fans to watch like it was for Lewis’s first TPC? I am ready wanting to go to Fiorano Circuit on 19th Feb for the shakedown. And if I can, what time should I try to arrive? Is it early as possible and then just kinda camp out and chill or? I've never been to the area so I want to know what I should try to do?

Lewis is uninjured.

We're so back!

The ears look wrong but i feel like i captured his eyes, Im not making fun of him btw. I hope this doesn't get viewed as me making fun of him

First of all, I'll say I'm a Lewis Hamilton fan and root for him.

Now, having said that, I keep wondering why there are sooo many people writing him off for a lousy 2024 season for Mercedes and completely forget he was close to Perez in a very dominant Reddbull in 2023.

I understand everyone has their favorite but Im baffled by how much credit Charles, Lando and even George get in the 2025 WDC fight while writing Lewis off. I don't think any of them have the mental strength of Lewis and I think that's why he has a decent chance to get an 8th.

What am I missing?

Was searching online, but couldn’t find the racing type clothes, just civilian

Like im no f1 expert,, the car is a winner as we see with sainz and Charles...

I just think Lewis will find his form again, like as much as its the car.. he has the right people behind him that will help get his head straight.

Thoughts? I just think he lost his drive as he didn't end up gelling with his team and it affected him mentally. He would try, but it was just missing that something.

I guess we will see, but im excited as he has people behind him that from the outside looking in, observing over years knew how to get the best out of him and get him to deliver.

Maybe not win the wdc but be a contender? As much as its the max lando show...

Edit;

So after many posts, not having a go, just an observation its an education for someone as casual to f1 as 1. Lewis has a lot to work on and Charles is kindly at ferrari; he is pretty good. So I guess if Lewis gets wdc it will be epic? Fitting indeed. Man Lewis and Charles awesome for ferrari! All I know is from a simple man a casual observant 2025 is ferrari vs McLaren?

Edit due to mod:

Im not trolling, great you think I am.. just hear me out.

After my last post and seeing how you educated me with Charles and Lewis... I took a look at Charles.

Did sf get Lewis to push Charles and he gets WDC? There is footage of Lewis applying the +1 on Charles (not races just positive comments; granted Lewis just wanted a sf seat so fluffing the bed playing the game but anyway). And with Lewis love of ferrari maybe this is just a match sf needs?

I just think redbull is on the decline they lost newey and Honda, yeah they build their own engine but even with their knowledge they just may end up as another Renault blowing engines, thus end up like an alpine or worse just slightly better than alpha.. hmm Max maybe good, but how is he in a sub optimal car; will he jump to Mercedes? I guess we will see. Anyway Toyota via hass at least the mid pack has something to prove? Gazoo racing in F1?

2025 season would be McLaren (if not drunk off 2024 wdc) and SC Ferrari.

What do you think? I give a lot of weight to Honda and now redbull lost them, they redbull are well not won't be so good? Equipmrnt suck as much as driver is good. They build their own (they are a new constructor; and even tho they had Honda an winning constructor (take their secrets with newery to aston) redbull be rektd. And well hass and Toyota (interesting they re-enter now; gazoo racing and all)...and maybe reading between the lines why newly left.. redbull on the way out.

Shall be interesting in the coming years, especially with the rule changes and muffling certain drives via penalties.

Ferrari is making me a fan...

I guess only 2 religions in Italy.... catholic and Scuderia Ferrari

Apologies if I'd I mispoke; autocorrect.

I’ve seen much hype about the new pairing of the team: Lewis Hamilton and Charles Leclerc. Many people — including who doesn’t watch f1 — believe that this year will be Ferrari’s year. In my opinion this much hype could cause even a downfall but I am down to hear everyone’s opinion.
