On Sunday, after his fifth win in seven races this year, Lewis Hamilton recalled how, as a teenager, he responded to watching Michael Schumacher’s seemingly endless series of victories with Ferrari in the early 2000s. Of course, Hamilton has the best car, but so does Bottas. Hamilton dominated last year’s championship, too, although not in the same way as he is this year. So now I am back to being able to produce qualifying laps that I was able to do before last year and on a more consistent basis. “Last year was one of my best years, if not the best year,” he said, “but as I said qualifying was all of a sudden I had a bit of a slump there. They had the best engine in F1 last year and now clearly have the worst. Leclerc’s qualifying time this year was 0.477secs slower than his pole lap in 2019.
