Fans React as Shocking Statistic Surfaces About Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton
Formula 1 fans are reeling after a surprising statistic emerged ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix, drawing a jaw-dropping comparison between Carlos Sainz and Lewis Hamilton. While Hamilton boasts seven world titles and a legendary career, the stat in question has the F1 community buzzing for all the wrong reasons—especially for the Mercedes camp.
According to data shared during the build-up to the Monaco weekend, Carlos Sainz has outqualified Lewis Hamilton more times in the last 10 head-to-head sessions than many would expect—a fact that caught even seasoned pundits off guard. The Ferrari driver, often considered consistent but not headline-grabbing, has quietly edged out the former champion in multiple qualifying sessions dating back to late 2023.
Social media erupted. Some fans praised Sainz for his overlooked consistency and ability to deliver under pressure, calling him “the most underrated driver on the grid.” Others expressed shock at Hamilton’s ongoing struggles, questioning whether the Brit’s dominance is truly behind him.
“This isn’t just a blip,” one user tweeted. “Carlos has been quietly outperforming legends. People need to give him his flowers.”
While team dynamics, car performance, and evolving strategies play a major role in qualifying outcomes, the statistic still stings for Hamilton loyalists who’ve seen him fight hard in a less-than-competitive car. Meanwhile, Sainz’s stock continues to rise—especially as his 2025 future remains uncertain amid contract rumors and potential team shifts.
Whether it’s a sign of a new era or just a temporary shift in momentum, one thing’s clear: fans are paying attention, and the Carlos vs. Lewis storyline just got a lot more interesting.
Stay tuned—this season isn’t done delivering surprises.
