China rebound and long-career Sunday craft justify a higher race baseline than qualifying; Ferrari adaptation trend is improving..
Rating Changelog
Baseline set — race pace gap to Leclerc larger than quali gap, but single-race sample + new team adaptation
Hamilton's career sample and China rebound justify restoring much more baseline than the round-one-only read gave him.
Hamilton P5 quali → P2 race in Canada, called it 'happiest day at Ferrari so far.' Fastest Ferrari driver across qualifying (P5, 0.108s ahead of LEC), sprint (P6, ahead of LEC), and race (P2 with overtake on VER lap 62 at T1). Best sector S1 in both Q and SQ. Single-weekend form acknowledgment (+0.05). No baseline change yet — wait for trend to confirm before adjusting baseline.
