MODERATORS
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!
Same with Fernando :(
Right? He’s got mad “dad messing around with the kids showing them how it’s done” energy now, instead of “sad man in red pajama pining for the glory days”
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.
Absolutely. But that’s part and parcel of the Ferrari curse. Every time it’s “this is going to be the year” and then it’s not. It’s very much not.
Still, 🐎
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...
Which engineer left for Ferrari?
Merc head of vehicle performance loic something is his name I think. Apparently him and Hamilton agreed that merc was taking the car in the wrong direction.
