LEWIS IS COMING

-
Let’s stop sugar-coating it — Lewis Hamilton has woken up, and he didn’t just whisper it, he roared. The seven-time champ has finally started cracking the code on that wild stallion they call the Ferrari SF-25. And if you think that’s no big deal, you’re missing the point. This isn’t just progress — it’s a warning shot to the whole grid: Lewis is coming.

Bahrain was a rollercoaster. Saturday was rough — the kind of quali that makes you stare at the floor in the garage, wondering where it all went wrong. P9 on the grid? Ugly. But Sunday? That was pure Lewis. Climbed to P5 without a drop of rain, no retirements, no red flags — just hard, clean racing. And here’s the stat that really stings for his rivals: Leclerc started P2 and ended up P4. Lewis started mid-pack and finished right behind him. That’s not luck. That’s experience. That’s elite racecraft.

And what changed? Brakes. Yep, brakes. Sounds minor, right? Wrong. Lewis’s driven with Carbone Industrie his whole career. Now he’s on Brembos at Ferrari. That’s not just a different supplier — that’s rewiring decades of muscle memory. It’s not about data or fancy telemetry — it’s about feel. When to push, when it’ll bite, when it’s about to lock up. Most drivers would be whining. Lewis? He’s adjusting. Because that’s what champions do.

He even said it himself: “I’m doing it the hard way.” This is the guy who once dragged a car across the line on three wheels. And now he’s openly saying he’s been off the pace, that he’s testing everything to catch up. No excuses. No finger-pointing. Just honesty — and growth. Then came the moment: “I think I’ve figured out how this car likes to be driven.” That’s it. That’s the switch flipping. He’s not blaming anyone — he’s owning it. That’s the mindset of a true legend.

And Bahrain? That wasn’t just a race. That was a live fire test session. While Leclerc dropped back off the line, Lewis held firm. Took Sainz clean. Got undercut by Tsunoda? Took the place back in two laps. Passed Verstappen on track. Had a scrap with Norris too. He’s not just racing — he’s learning. In real time. And once he nails qualifying? Game on.

Even Ferrari boss Fred Vasseur knows what’s coming. He said it clearly: “We’ll adapt the car to Lewis, but he also has to take a step.” News flash — he already has. You can see it happening. Right now, he doesn’t need tenths — he needs that final bit of connection. And once he finds it? Don’t be shocked when “Hammer Time” starts echoing across the Tifosi in red.

F1’s a savage sport — four hundredths can send you from P2 to P6. But when Lewis starts unlocking Ferrari’s full potential? That’s not just competition. That’s a storm brewing.

Like I've said before, Lewis knows about 2026 that we don't and 2025 is building to 2026. In my opinion, he's gunning for championship number 8 in 2026 so hang on to your butts guys cos 2026 will be the year when Lewis will be the GOAT that nobody can deny. Go Lewis!

DOUGIE DOES THE BULL

Hmm, 3 weeks is a long time in F1, no? After waiting 4 months for action, we got 4 races then suddenly all quiet. Seems like 3 weeks is longer than 4 months. Only God knows how I made it through the winter. Anyway, we'll have the start of the European season next week in Barcelona. That should be fireworks as teams will be bringing big updates to their cars there. The order will be jumbled up again, not to mention the changes made by Pirelli to the hard tire. We'll see. In the meantime, who the hell is Dougie? Well that would be Dougie Lampkin. He is the 12 times FIM Trial World Champion. And what the hell is the FIM Trial? Well, it's a motorcycle event. What?? Motorcycle? Blasphemy! Actually not. Since we're all motorsports fans generally and F1 fans specifically, we are allowed to talk about other motorsports besides F1. Any sport that uses a motor falls under motorsports, not just F1 or cars. So what is the FIM trials? According to Wikipedia: Motorcycle tria...

LEWIS HAMILTON’S MIAMI GP: A FRUSTRATING RACE AMID FERRARI’S STRATEGIC MISSTEPS

-

A Challenging Start from P12 The 2025 Miami Grand Prix commenced under the Florida sun, with Max Verstappen leading the pack from pole position. Lewis, starting from P12 after a disappointing qualifying session, faced an uphill battle. Despite a strong showing in the sprint race, where he finished third, Lewis's Ferrari lacked the pace to challenge the frontrunners at the start. The initial laps saw Lewis holding position, unable to capitalize on opportunities due to the car's limitations and the competitive midfield traffic. Strategic Confusion and a P8 Finish As the race unfolded, Lewis found himself behind teammate Charles Leclerc, who was on a different tire strategy. Lewis, on fresher medium tires, believed he had the pace to overtake Leclerc and challenge Mercedes' Kimi Antonelli ahead. However, Ferrari's hesitation in issuing team orders led to mounting frustration. When the order finally came, Lewis sarcastically remarked over the radio, "Have a tea break w...
