Don't act like some grand sage :unimpressed: . Dudes say someone is moving somewhere all the time based on head cannon. This ain't to solidify some legacy - that legacy has been secure since he took number 7. Anyone in doubt know is a limp dikk hater.

Nah. Some of y'all were in this thread flipping tables at the idea of him leaving Mercedes at all. I always thought him leaving was going to happen especially with how the team literally weren't listening to him on how to develop the car meanwhile he's watching RBR go to the next level by having Newey listen to Max. This is his "make another hov" move to Mercedes.

So this means Lewis already knows the W15 is ass :russ:
It'll be interesting. If the car is somehow a a real contender, he competes for 8-- possibly wins it and leaves to have fun driving for his dream team. If not, then Merc is cooked regardless and he'll have a year to settle into Ferrari for the 26 regs and see if they build something that can win. Either way, at this juncture in his career, there's not much to lose. His legacy is cemented.

I still don't know how to feel about this. On one hand, it couldn't possibly get any worse than things have been at Merc the past few years, on the other, what if---Merc does manage to sort itself out and delivers a good car? Something must have really stirred him to make this switch.

He's really the only all-time great that didn't drive for Ferrari over the past 40 years.

Lauda
Prost
Mansell
Schumacher
Alonso
Vettel

Lewis fits right in that group.
If you count Mansell in that group you also have to add Hakkinen and, as much as it pains me to say that, Piquet.
