| I think Hamilton is just losing his edge. You see that sometimes with competitive players. Usually when they get a major crash or a harsh loss, they suddenly get a bunch of life perspective and that sudden change in attitude pushes them down the ranking in the competition.
That and he's used to the old vehicle standards, while Russell (who is driving better than Hamilton, proving it's not the car) is probably more used to a car that isn't entirely cooperating with his goal.

Think it's time for Hamilton to hang it up, or does he just need to do some soul searching?
Also who do you have for P1 in Spain right now? I think it'll be leclerc, but I'm not confident enough to bet much on him.

Who knows. If he can do soul searching, it'd be quite special however.
For Spain, I'd say it's really a toss up on either Leclerc or Verstappen. Spain has a course that favors DRS, which is what Red Bull excels on. On the other hand, technical issues have been plaguing RB since the start of the season which can always rear their head once more.
On the other hand, the weather will be good which does make an environment where Leclerc performs better comparatively.
| I'd say in the end it'll come down to qualifiers and pit strategies for this race, if we're not taking the possibility of technical issues into account.

| What is going on with Mercedes? You'd think they'd have a handle on the porpoising by now, it's not like they don't have mechanical engineers who know what they're doing with airflow management.
I get Red Bull & Ferrari beating everyone else to a solution, both companies have expertise in extreme speed management, but all the other teams seem to be dragging their feet.
