Charles, when given the right car would definitely be a serious contender for the championship. On the other hand, Ferrari has not been in years. Constant poor strategy implementation and reliability issues have repeatedly robbed both Charles and Carlos' from podium finish or even victory.
It's definitely something that Charles need to seriously consider.
I think he still has to prove that he'd be a serious contender. He's making dumb mistakes even without the pressure of a championship, drivers like Max or Lewis who are used to it would just tear him apart over the length of a season. I don't see Charles winning 21.
This assumes it's a close fight of course, if he was driving the current RB he'd probably still be #1, but I think it'd be a lot closer.
I feel like I have to preface this with mentioning Iโm a Max fan since 2015.
I honestly think Charles might be the better pure race driver than Max, as in: one lap performance, overtaking, smarts in wheel to wheel racing. But Max is a long distance driver, which translates to him being better at winning races and even entire seasons. He seems much more involved with the team in getting that championship winning car than Charles, this might be more due to Ferrari though.
In any case, I so much want Charles to get a great car, because ever since Silverstone 2019 Iโve wanted nothing more than to watch those two bang wheels for a couple seasons.
Indeed. Early 2022 was so promising!
