What I’m saying is that I think Charles may be demoted to #2, if anything, just because Lewis won’t accept #2 status, and is the biggest “star” of the two.
So, unless Lewis has horrible performance, and Charles consistently beats him (which I have to admit, it’s a real possibility), in my mind, Ferrari will favor Lewis over Charles if they need to choose between the two.
You don’t sign a 7 times world champion to tell him “now, be quiet and play nice to the promise kid”. At least at the beginning, I think the team will work around Lewis (unless he performs horribly). And Charles will be told to be patient and wait for his opportunity (which is exactly what they told Sainz).
Time will tell. But I think you're exaggerating when saying they'll ask either of them to "play quiet" or be patient.
You mean they’ll let them compete? So far, Ferrari always favors one of the drivers. Which one depends on several factors. But you don’t see Ferrari letting its drivers compete the way Alpine does, for example. And I see no reason why both drivers will gladly play #2. But yes, time will tell.
No. I think it will be based on results before history. I mean this will probably play out more like Lewis vs Alonso (with less animosity I hope) than Michael vs Rubens. You completely ignore how much time, money and effort they have been investing in Charles. I don't think that a 40 y.o Lewis will change any of this. And I also think you are taking the #1vs#2 driver a bit too black and white.
I don’t agree with you, but I respect your opinion. I guess we’ll have to wait and see.
So do I, more interesting anyway than talking with yes men and I'm honestly speculating a whole fucking lot here anyway. See you in two years take care.
