LITERALLY MY TWO FAVORITE DRIVERS TOGETHER BABBBBBY
-
-
Well, I didn't expect this headline this season... Maybe he knows more than we do, akin to his move to mercedes, but I can't see how this improves his chances of another title.
-
How weird would it be if this is how Mick gets another drive in F1?
-
How about Antonelli wins F2 this year and takes the open seat?
-
-
Really not a fan of the brand-first, almost cult-like mentality of Ferrari, and can't imagine things will be as easy going as with Mercedes, despite Lewis' credentials. Seems exciting still, but we'll see.
-
Dammnn, I really hope he got the fattest bag for this, Ferrari is going to ruin him.
-
I’m gonna guess it’s a massive bag. And he’s got enough money anyways that he probably doesn’t care too much.
-
-
Conspiracy hat: this is smoke and mirrors to distract from andreti bs.
-
Imagine that, "hey, Lewis, we don't like all this Andretti talk in the press, could you switch teams? Go to Ferrari, maybe? That ought to do the trick".
-
More like FOM knew the Lewis announcement was imminent and jumped the gun right before it. It really isn't that far fetched.
-
-
It's real though. And the Andretti debacle has been going on for years now. They're not getting a team.
-
-
Insane, I never thought this would happen. It's a shame that his career is over now, I still had some hopes for him to win some more races
-
It’s crazy how fast Mercedes fell off. For awhile they were dominating and now suddenly they’ve turned to shit. All under the same driver.
Reminds me of Red Bull back when Vettel was there.
-
If P2 in the constructors is shit, I wonder how you rate other teams.
-
They were the definitive constructors champ and now they barely beat Ferrari to second place. Also, they actually lost to Ferrari the year before). And that's just numbers. If you look at the last races of the season you'll be hard pressed to put merc car in the top 3. RB was clear first, McLaren was clear second and Ferrari was marginally better than Merc.
I wouldn't be surprised if this year Merc is struggling to stay in the top 3
-
-
I mean I wonder if the style of car just doesn’t work for Hamilton’s driving style, so why not pursue another team and see if that changes anything if you’re not comfortable in the car you have anyway?
Gonna be more awkward if Merc comes out strong this year and Lewis is already slated to leave.

Either Ferrari have shown him something special, or Mercedes are really underwhelming him with whatevers in the pipeline. Possibly both.
I can't believe it's purely a money thing. Lewis is surely still chasing another title above all else?
Ferrari is the place where former world champions go to become old and bitter wearing red jumpsuits. It’s not the place where you have a great final act to your sport career.
And I say this as a life long Ferrari fan.
Just look at Seb. Since he left Ferrari he looks like he’s having fun again!
I think Seb was having fun because he no longer felt stressed about trying to win a world championship. His new focus was to do as well as possible, but not necessarily the best.
Same with Fernando :(
That’s what I think too. It’s either that or just wanting to race in Red for a year or two before retirement.
I think we’ll know pretty quickly if the Merc is a shitbox next year, which will explain a lot.
I guess that his favourite engineer leaving for Ferrari and some simulator time convinced him...
