I don't think it's lip service.
I think he did doubt whether he had lost it to some degree.
Even if it's not on my best day, I'm as good as I ever was.
It's just all those best days aren't coming around as much as they used to, which is just the passage of time.
I wonder if as this season goes on, maybe if he renews and stays on for another year, especially if, you know, let's say he wins the world championship and you get one of those really long champions interviews with him where Lewis is in full flow and opens up more.
I wonder if we'll find out exactly how close he was to calling time early and at what point, at what percentage he was sort of thinking, no, 26, it'll be my year and how much of it was, I really hope that this works.
But the way that we've seen that kind of swing so far does make me wonder if the circumstances of, let's say, 2026 as a whole, the way the cars work, the engines work, the tyres work, the braking demands, especially the front axle, how much is actually kind of being put through those brakes, how hard they're being worked.
what design choices may or may not have been made on the Ferrari side, if they've been conservative with their brake choices, which means that they're wanting to make sure that there's been a bit more cooling capacity than is actually needed because the brakes have been used less, whatever.
A Hamilton revival, a Leclerc struggle, whatever it ends up being specifically.
These little swings that we're seeing, I do wonder if there's a little bit of a chance that basically what works for Hamilton and what works for Leclerc in terms of at their best...
They're just different enough, and there's enough of all these tiny variables, or some of them maybe not so tiny, sort of adding up that means...
one weekend it will just sort of naturally kind of play just a little bit more to one versus the other.
I'm struggling to see with the way that they've both been talking about how things have worked or not worked the last few weekends.
I'm struggling to, in my mind's eye, imagine the set of circumstances that works for both of them.
Like, what's the sweet spot in terms of circuit layout, track temperatures, braking demands or whatever?
Because...
especially because with one thing that Leclerc said to me, and I'm going to go back to, I think we talked about this a little bit on the Monaco Post Race podcast, but one thing that really stood out to me there was Leclerc in the middle of that weekend had referred to the 26 tyres as being digital.
They just sort of have grip or they don't.
It's on or off.
And then in a completely separate answer on a different topic, not talking about Leclerc, Andrea Stella at McLaren talked about the way these tyres...
