I never make youtube comments, but I have to say, in a sea of click-bait-y sensationalist F1 content, this channel is a breath of fresh air!

Lewis himself said he likes a lively rear end. As long as he can feel it. He likes a car that can turn in and he can predict the aggression of the rear. NOT a non-dramatic rear as most people think.

The best F1 channel period. So insightful.

If they’re changing the suspension layouts to front pullrod and rear pushrod in ‘25 it might take Lewis and Charles several races to get up to speed, because the front end will be heavier at first due to having to make sure it’s strong enough to pass the crash tests.

The key will be can Ferrari bring good upgrades and keep in form throughout the season. Such a great driver like Lewis can adapt with the car anyway

Generally oversteer really hasn’t been an issue for him in the past. 2012 for example he drove that car right on the nose. It was the unpredictable snap oversteer in high speed corners that bothered both Merc drivers with these ground effect cars. Agree that the qualifying issues this year are definitely tyre related but more tyre temperature issues as opposed to deg.

I'm a relatively new F1 fan. Of all the channels that I've found that cover F1, your channel is the best hands down. Legitimately, some of the only F1 videos I watch all the way through.

Dunno, this idea of Lewis not liking a pointy car came out after that magazine article. But isn't it just a case that he has had to make the car less pointy because it is so bad? His ex teammates, Nico, Jenson, say he likes car that is pointy. Lewis himself said that he always set up his car to be as point as possible (in his old interview with Martin). I think the the confusion is that Lewis is not that he needs s stable rear end but more that he needs a car that is predictable on the rear end and he can feel what its doing. Ultimately, if the car is slow and he has to man handle it too much its always going to be bad

Man you’re actually the goat. Not click bait. Not A.I. I’m so happy I found your channel last season

The best formula one KZfaq channel by a mile,never biased just good content .I hope f1derful sees this

Ferrari will come back in 2025 and it will be a 4 way fight. It could even be 5 way if aston martin sort their mess up

This is a fantastic video, i didnt skip any part throughout, very informative, straight to the point and not at all clickbait, a big thumbs up!!

i genuinely don't know which is better, your race weekend content cycle or your analysis videos during the breaks keep on cooking! this season has been a blast

Hopefully Ferrari can get back on track, i don't think they are far from It, just need to adjust a few things

If the car is kind of good he will use the boost of energy from getting a new challenge, that will be the thing I think, supporting Hamilton since 2008

This channel really is the best f1 channel for infos about the cars and stuff you and Lawvs are carrying the f1 content rn keep it up bro i really hope that your channel blows up!

Good job as always 🙏🏾

Lewis helmet next year is going to be beautiful. He loves mixing that Senna yellow in every helmet. The Ferrari red with Senna yellow good lord.

Cool video. Good to see some background comparisons.

Insightful video as always mate, keep it up 🙏🏼

Awesome video! I am glad I found your channel..

Another great vid, been here since 5k

Watching Leclerc trying to overtake Stroll at silverstone without top speed, was like watching Hamilton at 2023 bahrain, baku or 2022 suzuka.

Bro, I really need the algorithm to recommend you to more peaople, you deserve it

Lewis will drive Ferrari car to his best intentions remember seven times world champion Ferrari are bloody lucky to have Lewis as driver

Thank you sir, glad I stayed till the end... Liked and subbed...

I believe Lewis will handle the Ferrari car well, no doubt he will face a tough challenge but in the end he will win his 8th WDC title and get his redemption and submit his legacy Forza Ferrari 😀👏🏎🏁👑🇬🇧🇮🇹

Commenting just so you get more engagement. Keep going brother.

Lewis is definitely going to change the car according to his driving style maybe not in 2025 because they are definitely going to evolve this car further.. but 2026 he will do his best to make sure that car is suited to him just like w15 and ofcourse it was possible because of Genius of Allison so that he could take his 8th championship

I’m really excited to see Lewis in the Ferrari!!! We all said he was crazy for leaving a good McLaren team to go to an up and coming Mercedes team. Maybe the same thing will happen again??

Nice analysis!

Oh, he's got to have had input on the 2025/6 car. I'd also expect Adrian to factor in most if not all those lewis requirements in the 2025/6 car

Excellent video, so informative and in detail.

Nice video. I’ll subscribe 🎉

Can you make a driving style video for every driver? Amazing content.

Hoping Lewis will be able to straighten out Ferrari and their tendency to be their own worst enemy. Do you think Lewis’ style is a better match for Charles that will allow better optimization than for Charles/Carlos?

Good question well made video!

As a McLaren fan I'm actually fearing this duo slightly. Both Hamilton and Leclerc loves a oversteery car than an understeery one so that means Ferrari can push their car development and philosophy in one direction as they now have a driver pairing that shares similar preferences instead of the one they have now with Sainz preferring an understeery setup to Leclerc's oversteery setup.

Awesome video as always. Do one on how DR3 would go in the redbull. I get a feeling hes going to get the seat after the break.

u have a driver who prefer oversteer u have a driver who prefer understeer Ferrari making 2014 car again which have both understeer and oversteer 🤣😂

Lewis 100% likes a pointy car, not an understeering car. It's why he was so different to Jenson when they were teammates. The issue with the Merc this year was it wouldn't turn in at low speed (understeer), which he hated, so you had to make it REALLY overtsteery in high speed - because you lose so much more time in a slow corner. The issues Max had in Spain were due to a car that oversteered too much, and he lows oversteer. Even the best have limits. Lewis definitely sets a car up with more oversteer then most on the grid.

I always felt like one of the main weaknesses of Ferrari was trying to cater to both Sainz and Leclerc with complete opposite driving styles. I feel like they'd have a stronger package if they took the Red Bull route and prioritized one style over the next. The 2022 car was very strong relative to the field because of it's front end. They neutralized the front bias in 23' and boom the car is slower in relativity.

There’s only 3 channels that I get my F1 news from. This channel 👍🏻 F1News Tactical Rab& LawVs. Theses are great channels. NO CLICK BAIT. Keep up the good work!

Weirdly, Lewis has always liked the car being on the nose (oversteer) in the same way Michael did. Brundle actually made mention of this to Lewis in an interview to which he agreed and also elaborated to say "I probably drove with too much oversteer early in my career" so I don't really see oversteer as being a negative. I actually think he and Charles would both prefer that to allow more rotation. I think they will both want similar things from the car which will be a net positive for Ferrari as I believe Carlos prefers a strong rear and more understeer which is the complete opposite of Charles. Wouldn't mind a similar video regarding Piastri/Norris. Love your content

The real question is "Will Ferrari's 2025 car work"

I love Ferrari but every damn year we go like next year is our year, they have to stop making upgrading mistakes hopefully Lewis can push in development and his experience will develop a great car.

I think the problem with the sf24 is the rear suspension, it cant handle the dowforce after the update so they had to make a compromise so it kida worked but it was overall significantly slower .

if the car is championship worthy , it will suit him

❤Awesome info thanks.👍

I have compared russels and ham onboards many times in the races, ive noticed that ham’s style seems a lot more on edge, he balances the car almost entirely with just his steering wheel, russel has a much smoother style and seems a like he uses his feet a lot more. It’s surprising because though ham’s style seems much messier, he is clearly quicker than Russell in the races most of the time!

100k soon !!🔥🔥🔥

Have to comment again, because it helps you and because this channel "pure" content names me want you to be in top. Go get them!💪💪 I also think Lewis may be inputting at least driver position, those are very early options in design.

imagine.. Lewis drives the car and tells Ferrari, Niki Lauda style the car is crap, going to be interesting how lewis adapts to the car or influences its changes.

Awesome video, Sainz one will be great too. Would maybe be hard to find footage but some sort of “is Kimi Antonelli that good” would be cool too, breakdown some F2 footage and like a yes/no if he fits in the Merc car

Hope the verstappen fans remember this when they complain about perez. You can't expect perez to perform if the car does not suit his style. They seem to be in denial about driver preferences and that cars are built to suit certain preferences

good content

i think it’ll be very similar to charles vs carlos now. lewis is one of the greats and he’ll always stay competitive with his teammate. but he’s 40; he isn’t pushing like he once did.

All the driver changes should be interesting to watch next season.

Very nice insights! Hopefully Ferrari takes notes from this video to meet the design considerations of the 2025 car for both drivers.

Frédéric Vasseur probably knows what LH likes, they been working together before and i bet Ferrari got some Merc engineers aswell who joine Ferrari long time ago

Can u do video like this about checo? Why he is struggling so much now?

I’m confused by, “he’s more of a racer”. Literally the most pole positions ever(by a long way). Not just related to Mercedes dominance, he was special in qualifying in McLaren too.

I believe all of these drivers when they start out prefer an oversteer car. Its a natural feel that they developed from karting. But as they mature and understand the value of race pace and how important it is to keep the tires alive, they transition to a more understeer style. You can see old footage of Lewis really whippin the tail around corners.

A lot of work went into that 10 minute video, and it was worth the wait. Really good shit, FU. Er, F1U, yeah sorry. :) *ahem* Anyway, really enjoy your content and am glad I ran across your channel.

Love the content. I think '25 for LH is once again a "test" year for him ... getting to know the Ferrari car and team. He is not a slouch so he will not be at the back of the pack, but I thing hovering around 5 - 8 place with perhaps an occasional podium. I think '26 is the big year where he will have had input on the car and the fact that GRUNT is going to be favored over ground effect, LH driving style will be best suited. If he does not get his 8th title in '26, his chances in '27 are slim. I think in '28 he will be out on his other projects - acting being the most favored IMO - but he has many other interests and projects. I am more interested in the teeam dynamic that is looming. CLC has "had it his way" since #5 left. Do you really think #44 will play 2nd fiddle ? I am not so convinced and if #44 gets lead, will CLC stick around ?

Did Lewis do a Fernando move!? 🤔

Make a video about the third element that mercedes introduced for the front suspension Please

Lewis could alway adjust his driving style. From his first season in F1 when traction control was banned

Very thorough video, but I thought Lewis liked his cockpit further forward to brake late? The problem was Mercedes lacked rear end stability, when he moved his cockpit forward it upset the car's balance?

Dude, you are without question the most insightful F1 content creator. Love the technical take you being, day in and day out. Keep it up, my man!

Really one of your most interesting episodes because this is a topic that many of us are already thinking about, so voila! here it is. I suppose since most teams will be planning next year as much as possible now, so that they can get onto 2026 as early as possible next year, I think it's hard to predict any conclusive answer since they haven't figured this car out and let's face it, they are regressing. We know this is an historic problem with them that we thought they had figured out in Japan last year...so maybe there is hope that they get it together. It seems to be floating in various states of compromises and we see the result of that.

That's actually a cool insight into it. Now I'm wondering, is Carlos taking the car's preferred driving style into consideration when deciding his move? Which team would suit him most?

To me it seems like Leclerc and Sainz are evenly matched and it's more down to which track they are on and luck who's going to benefit.

Ferrari needs to just get a handle on their development

If he is the driver you make out to be, it should be not be a problem to adapt.

NEW F1UNCHAINED VIDEO, LETS GOOOO

He's going be learning the car the first year except the simulation goes exactly with the real but I guarantee he will put Ferrari back on the podium.

The 677 project is for the 2025 Ferrari to make it suitable for Lewis to drive. It will have a pull-rod Front and Rear Suspension the driver position will be moved rearward to give Lewis more feel on the rear. I think Charles will have to adjust his driving style for a car designed for Lewis.

How Hamilton adapts to the Ferrari is the most interesting storyline of 2025. Changing teams & cars has been disastrous for some drivers. Danny Ric was on it at Red Bull & Renault but the McLaren didn't work for him at all

Just think how many races he would have won if he wasn't being held back............well at least he wasn't saying the team was racist again.

Let’s not fool around, anything past qualifying in Monaco was not a measure of the car that weekend. It was a parade.

There's no shot Ferrari keeps running Push rod front and Pull rod rear suspensions next season. If they do they'll be the 5th fastest car on the grid.

Side by side comparaison shows that Russell get a better straight line speed. A better party mode?

I'll be curious to see because Ferrari Drivers, at least since 2012, have had to use more steering lock than other teams during cornering. Hamilton's current set up at Mercedes shows him to have very positive and quick steering. So it'll be interesting to see if he carries that over or they adapt to him or he adapts to it.

you nailed it on the head! its my ONE concern with lewis going to ferrari; they wont give carlos the rear end over charles, why would they change philosophy AGAIN for lewis.

I mean the 2023 Ferrari car was a stable platform for amy style.

before watching the video i would say ferrari is very similar to the mclarens lewis used to drive and he was godly in qualifying in those cars his quali only changed after coming to mercedes if 2025 tires are anything similar to previous years i think he should be comfortably equal to leclerc from the get go

So he drives opposite from Verstappen which is early braker.

I hope Ferrari doesn't get stuck in the trap of developing the car to suit the driver. I think they have a lot more problems in house with development fall off through out the year. I thought they made a good step this year on tires but through the season they are lagging yet again. Its understandable with the competition but it will only be tougher next year. Hopefully they can get their logistics right. They have the technical expertise and never really had bad drivers. so its all there if they get everything aligned.

Why every team has to have an understeer prefered driver and an oversteer prefered driver?

Ferrar's cockpit position will be towards further back in 2025. Also,they will change the front suspension to a pull rod system. The rear might change too, but that's uncertain for now. Btw, who do you think will be the new td of ferrari?

Charles is one of the fastest there is, but I’d still put my money on Lewis over the year. He’ll just make better calls, won’t buy into Ferrari’s daft strategy calls, and mostly cause he knows how to put together a decent season and hoover up points instead of going all in. As a fan of both I’m really looking forward to it, although I wish he’d finish his career at Mercedes

The biggest problem is that now ham will look like a burnt red pepper

Most decorated driver - literally and figuratively.

My hope around Ferrari gaining huge amounts of momentum and catching McLaren/Max Bull is flip flopping more than the 2021 championship leader

There is no season in 20:25. What are you talking about???

I have been reading that Ferrari will concentrate on the 2025 car. The want to make it with the driver position further back and pull rod front and push rod rear suspension. They want a car that Lewis will like.

I think another aspect of the move will be how Lewis is going to help out Ferrari. I'm interested to see how his experience will help out the team and drive the development of the car for 26.

Great anylasis

I mean lets be honest, they are going to put Both drivers on Inters in the dry to play some 4D chess.
