I’m honestly so tired of people treating Charles like he’s a joke.
Name ONE driver who’s been his teammate and actually outperformed him overall. Lewis? It’s not even half the season yet. Where was Lewis last year? Struggling with adaptation. And now Charles goes through the same process and suddenly it’s a problem?
Charles needed just a few weeks to adapt and he’s already showing progress. Lewis took a whole season. Let’s be serious for a second.
Switching setups after using the same driving style your entire career isn’t easy. And those Monaco and Barcelona DNFs? That’s on the car, not him.
“Charles copied Lewis’ setup, Charles copied his brakes” Yeah… because it’s called being teammates. That’s literally how a team works. Sharing data, learning from each other, finding solutions together. Every driver does this. He’s reading Lewis’ data? Good. That’s called adapting. That’s called learning. He’s putting in the work, simulator, feedback, everything to get better, and it’s clearly paying off.
Why is that so hard for people to understand?
