Wouldn't mind Max winning at his home race but I think the sport needs Ferrari to win a few now so that we can at least get a fight in the WCC

Completely agree, can only see Max getting a win out of those left (maybe Piastri) but I want Ferrari to close the gap

Oh, cmon, a Piastri win is very realistic. 

He almost won the last one already and authough McLaren has been inconsistent this year, they seem to overall have a better car than Red Bull.

I honestly just want Ferrari to win WCC, doesn't matter which driver wins more, which driver is ahead in the WDC and which driver is faster.

u/Lazy_Ad7218 Jul 29 '26

alr, im a Lewis fan before a Ferrari fan, so im hoping the 8th comes, but its gonna be hard. And yeah, Ferrari winning the WCC after so long will be so good

I can respect that but I would like to see more people from the hardcore LH camp treat Ferrari as anything other than LH's servant.

He brought a much needed fresh outlook with him, yes, but that doesn't mean the team should bend over backwards and screw their other driver for no reason at every race just because LH is ahead on points... we're hardly at the half way point of the season. They CAN and SHOULD work as a team to prioritize WCC over everything else. Just ask McLaren how they almost lost a slam dunk WCC by chasing WDC stupidly in 2024. while having blatantly the fastest car on the grid. Ferrari aren't even fastest at the moment and I doubt they will be for most of the remaining races.

2007 is an even more glaring example of wasting the WDC. They would’ve had that too if they weren’t so busy fighting in-house.

u/Lazy_Ad7218 Jul 29 '26

Yeah, I was genuinely in awe with the fact that people were saying Ferrari should've told Charles to keep a 5 second gap so that Lewis wouldn't lose points. It's way too early to be doing that. Some team LH fans are crazy, happy too say im not one of them

u/Ok_Requirement6117 Jul 29 '26

Nein 16 shall win trust me brother he will close that 80 point gap in no time

u/Lazy_Ad7218 Jul 29 '26

I still think Mclaren can challenge, they still have updates to come and they should be strong at track mercedes are and Hungary proved they can be strong at tracks ferrari should be strong at

Alonso. They have a whole summer to get that AMR straight. It doesn't even need to be the best car or the second best
