Yeah. I get the vibes that the entire team is going to turn goofy throughout the rest of this season. I think it'll be a season, and the next few years, of them trying to show how much they think it was more the team than Lewis this entire time. I think we're sneaky finding out that Mercedes talent in car building was just having deep pockets and being able to spend themselves out of stupid engineering decisions.
The interesting part for me is everyone is reacting almost the same way now as they did when Lewis left McLaren for Mercedes. They were "shocked" that he left a "Championship" team meanwhile McLaren hasn't won a championship since he left......and it was similarly timed around a reg change.
Eh, take Mansell out then.
Mika my guy though.
No rates Piquet and he has 3 championships. Terrible legacy.
Sainz will find a good landing place. Definitely improved his stock by going toe to toe with Leclerc.
No one thought he was on that level after Leclerc dismantled Seb.

Like clock work they be plagued with DNFs come mid season at Ferrari
Hopefully Albon gets the second Merc seat

I anticipate that GR will be extra fukkin whiny this year. They might have to tell his ass pipe down when he keep asking for overtakes
I'm not sold on Albon. He had a decent season but I think he gets washed by George.
That Red Bull stint just put a bad taste in my mouth. Max obviously is one of the best drivers ever but he got his ass beat so thoroughly in 2020. Did he gain any pace between then and now? Hard to say.
Ferrari stock rockets, adding $10 billion on solid earningsāand the news that F1 GOAT Lewis Hamilton may join its top racing team
Ferrariās stock price rose 12% after the open as the automaker guided more growth this yearābut is the brand also poaching a Mercedes driver?
Just like that

Don't act like some grand sage. 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.
Whole lotta shoulda woulda coulda going on in here
throwing shade at the idea ..
that's you ...
i said he would make the move ..
that's me
fall back
Looking at the history of Redbull, I'm convinced their second driver problem is a structural issue. They always have a golden boy, who can do no wrong and a second driver who gets constantly chastised. They seem incapable of supporting two drivers. Both Gasley and Albon were good drivers who where promoted too early and then got crushed in a very difficult environment. Even experienced and proven drivers like Perez and Webber have problems there and I think Ricciardo, who beat prime Vettel had good reasons to leave the team.

I'm hoping that this works out for lewis. But hes also an older driver, at near end of his career thats had a dominating run...Kinda like Micheal Schumacher (who went to mercedes funnily enough)

Itās going to work out fine. The details have begun to leak. Merc denied Lewis ambassadorship. Ferrari gave him that, 100M a year. A slush fund for Mission 44, and a 250M joint investment fund with the Elkann family.
