Yep... hasn't actually got a clue what he's doing but somehow gets it over the line.
To be fair his engineer is always telling Lewis what to do He should certanly be paid the same, the results are very much a double act with Lewis.
This is the confusing thing about Gasly in the Red Bull. Before the British GP, I am sure I saw a clip of Horner / Marko saying they would be doing a lot more to help young Pierre - notably sharing data and set up info from the other side of the garage with him and his mechanics. Then he had a decent outing at Silverstone & I am sure I was not alone in thinking `wow, that made a difference` certainly his whole demeanor that weekend seemed more confident . But since then his performances in Hungary and Germany have been fairly poor, Silverstone now looks like an outlier rather than the start of a better trend. Is the RB a particularly tricky car? I have no idea, or is young Pierre simply not mentally resilient enough to be in a winning car. I have done just enough competitive stuff to know that a `weight of expectation` can be very corrosive to performance - until it is properly dealt with in ones own head!

Lewis is on the radio more often than Chris Evans

To a far lesser degree.

You do understand that the FOM only broadcasts selected messages....right?Lewis is on the radio more often than Chris Evans
All drivers will be getting information all the time. FOM broadcast more of the top drivers messages because thats who most people are interested in.
In Ross Brawns book he says that one day a fault allowed the scrambled radio messages to be available to all teams. The other teams simply couldn't believe the amount of radio messages going backwards and forwards to Michael Schumacher whilst he was driving around.

(They only broadcast the good ones on TV).
I haven’t seen the transcript or listened to them all. If in fact Hamilton speaks to the team more than others then maybe that’s an increment towards his success. Maybe others should have better communication with their engineers. Apart from Kimi of course. He knows what’s he’s doing.

Other have already explained radio chat etc.. he won’t be interested though. It won’t suit his agenda

It’s because Hamilton is lucky to be in the best car with the best tires. What part of this don’t you understand?
What part of 'They all have the same tyres' do you not understand?.....but Hamilton is on the best tires as well!

What part of 'They all have the same tyres' do you not understand?So Mercedes got the tyres that they wanted, and everybody else had to redevelop their cars to manage the revised tyres.

Pirelli came up with the tyres for 2019 after the teams complained the 2018 tyres overheated and blistered. Mercedes didn’t persuade the FIA to do anything.

Even Marko and Horner didn’t look on it suspiciously and they are pretty aggressive when fighting their corner. Ferrari, well they do what they always do... if they can’t keep up, they try to hobble their opponent

Yes apparently those long conversations between Ross and Schumacher were extraordinary, it's a shame we didn't get to hear them.Hamilton's messages always seem a bit panicky, FOM probably edit accordingly to make the race sound more exciting as he's usually at the front.
Personally I prefer hearing a "leave me alone" from Kimi, or a simple "NO" from Verstappen
