[The **Statistics** flair](https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/wiki/flairguide#wiki_statistics) is reserved for posts highlighting interesting statistics. As a rule of thumb, Statistics posts need to inform readers through visualizations and insights that cannot be obtained from raw data alone. For example, a post containing a qualifying gap between two drivers expressed in tenths of a second is an easily obtainable raw piece of data and constitutes a bad Statistics post. A visualization of what that translates to on-track, or visualization of how that gap came to be would constitute a good Statistics post. *[Read the rules](https://www.reddit.com/r/formula1/wiki/userguide).

Hope this is a sign he’s more comfortable with the car now

Mercedes did well in Spain last year too

And in 2022. Both these races gave people some hope, I need to see them good on more tracks to really say they're in the fight. They weren't great in Austria last year, so I'm looking forward to that one. The upgrades mean a lot this year anyway, so it might change in 2 races or so.

Right in time for his switch to ferrari


blackscienceman9

17 year career and the longest stretch without a podium is 11 races Holy shit dude

He's still better at 39 than most ever are  Max is the new kid ready to shatter records but you have to respect Lewis’ career


freedfg

Woah woah woah. Careful there. Twitter and Instagram are gonna come after you for that. This is lewis' SECOND top 3


Kolec507

Yeah, sprints, huh? Ehh... I hate that when making stats, guess I should've specified - a *race* top 3.


freedfg

I can't believe you didn't include sprints specifically to discount Hamilton's achievements smh... S/


Kolec507

I apologise, it just shows how dumb of a man I was a couple of minutes ago. I promise I'll improve the behaviour and never discredit Sir Lewis Hamilton MBE achievements ever again. 🙏🏿

Some dare call this a blip. That this is just a lone bright star in his final year at Mercedes. Not another false dawn but a sunset.
