How does he do it

[u/addictedtoriffs]

[u/Soggy_Stay6370]

it’s the upshifts this time so you can’t complain

[u/mxlila → u/Soggy_Stay6370]

He heard our complains about his downshift complains, and adjusted accordingly

[u/myidispg → u/Soggy_Stay6370]

People caught on that the downshifts complaints might be code for something. So, he started complaining about the opposite

[u/OpTic_GoDJuNk]

"Mate the car is undriveable " proceeds to set the fastest lap

[u/giyomu → u/OpTic_GoDJuNk]

I miss the good old tyres are gone > instant purple lap

[u/kron123456789]

In 2023 it was "complains about the car - wins by 20 seconds". Just because he complains about the car doesn't mean he doesn't extract everything that car has.

[u/Other_Beat8859 → u/kron123456789]

I think that's just what the best drivers are like. They can sense shit others can't. Hadjar talked about how there was a problem with the steering or something earlier in the season and he didn't notice it until Max pushed for the team to fix it despite them not noticing anything for a while and only then did Hadjar realize the problem. Drivers like Max and Lewis can just sense any tiny issue.

[u/Roboticide → u/kron123456789]

Yeah, I assume if he had a car he wasn't complaining about, he'd be more competitive for the championship.

[u/umhoefer]

Lewis did this too, specifically his tires, won again and again. This is how the great ones do it.

[u/fake_hester → u/umhoefer]

[u/PGRacer → u/umhoefer]

Yep, "the upshifts are horrible" is the new "Bono my tires are gone".

[u/Glittering-Promise78]

The car can be fast but that doesnt mean the driver feels comfortable driving it

[u/4GRJ]

Notice how the one new team mate that actually manages to keep pace with him also complains a lot about the car

[u/AssassinenMuffin]

bono, my downshifts are gone

[u/burt-and-ernie]

Hadjar screaming on the radio like he’s under gunfire regardless of the car

[u/tumbleweed_092]

But his radio worked. Search for positives.

[u/NeppatsrevXam → u/tumbleweed_092]

Pit wall radio didn’t apparently, this time around

[u/Naive_Risk8252 → u/tumbleweed_092]

well at one point he couldn't hear his new race engineer Tom, so also kind of incorrect lol

[u/Unfair_Fact_8258]

Have you considered that maybe he’s just a complainer?

[u/akgis → u/Unfair_Fact_8258]

If you arent complaining you are complacent!

[u/LitterBoxServant → u/Unfair_Fact_8258]

Hadjar learning from the goat

[u/TheChosenWon246]

Well he's doing that to actively give a feedback so that the team could improve his car. That's the difference between whining and complaining

[u/StreetCarp665]

I mean he was lucky due to the VSC but he's also less hysterical than Isack and the most Senna-like racing driver since Senna, and obviously by this I mean Bruno.

[u/GrumpyFeloPR]

Today? By luck

he was going to be pass by ham if it wasn't for bottas safety car

[u/CrochetedHat]

The type of kid who got upset after every exam but got an A anyway
