As you so rightly say, Yves-Henri, we don't see how "his majesty's" downward trajectory could ever return to what it was 5 years ago! I'm reminded of his "feat" when Oliver replaced Carlos at the last minute and achieved a fantastic 7th place... I've never seen Lewis do anything like that in his career!!! As for Haas, I don't see Ocon surpassing Oliver, and for me, Esteban is too late now, what a shame!

If Bearman's seemingly upward trajectory were to intersect with Sir Lewis's likely downward one, one Englishman could therefore replace another at Maranello, provided that Esteban Ocon doesn't gain a significant advantage at Haas this season.
