Lewis is close behind but, he can get beaten from time to time because Mercedes share their data and engineers to enhance unity and team spirit. Leclerc is going against Vettel who is a 4 time world champion, so people will criticize Vettel more than they'll praise Leclerc.

      You have to understand that when Hamilton started in F1, he was in Ron´s Mclaren. A team so tight that drivers had to always be shaved, immaculate trim and well dressed and no tattoos and always say the right thing, never doubt, never question, etc etc. So Hamilton had to be that guy. Soon he changed to Mercedes you could see him starting to open up.
      That mentality in Mclaren was what made Raikkonen change to Ferrari (also because how Mclaren blew an engine every two races).

I’ll never forget his first F1 start for McLaren alongside Alonso in Albert Park - he qualified behind him but made a better start overtaking him into the first corner - a rookie beating the two time world champion and making it look like he had being doing it for years - I felt so proud and have had the privilege of watching virtually his whole F1 career - the highs and the lows and honestly I believe he is the best to ever do it.

    You don’t have to be first. It’s how you deal with adversity. You are and always will be a legend Lewis! You’re an inspirational human, never mind F1 champion. Much love!

    Now i can relate to his drive at Brazil GP. Some similar feats. When you have it you have it.
