    I think Charles is still the established #1 as it stands, meaning not having seen what’s going to happen this year nor how Hamilton’s going to perform in the same car. I don’t think Lewis will get the “gotta prove your worth” treatment you’re describing though, he already did that and to a greater extent that pretty much any other human that ever raced. My bet his that Ferrari is banking on him bringing multiple championships worth of experience first but that Charles is still the golden boy. All of that remains to be seen though.

        Time will tell. But I think you’re exaggerating when saying they’ll ask either of them to “play quiet” or be patient.

            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.

                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.
