I'm happy for him, he's clearly banging his head at Mercedes. But I do wonder what he hopes to achieve where Alonso, Vettel, and all the other drivers since Kimi failed? Lewis definitely has it in him..... Ferrari, I'm not so sure.
The guy is a seven times world champ and leads in victories and poles by quite a margin, he doesn't have much more to prove honestly. Hell winning in a Ferrari is probably the only thing that he could do to cement his legacy.
Even when I saw the leaks I didn't want to believe this to be true. I was convinced Hamilton would be with Mercedes until he couldn't compete anymore.
Hopefully Sainz finds a seat on another team.
Yes, I agree. But to be fair, for the last three years HAM was unable to compete with the mercedes. Let’s see what the future in red will bring!
Seeing Hamilton in red will need some time to get used to.
Wait until he speaks italian lol
#benedetto
I think the word that best sums this up for me is surreal.
The question is, what's going to happen to the smooth operator?
I think Charles is still the established #1 as it stands, meaning not having seen what's going to happen this year nor how Hamilton's going to perform in the same car. I don't think Lewis will get the "gotta prove your worth" treatment you're describing though, he already did that and to a greater extent that pretty much any other human that ever raced. My bet his that Ferrari is banking on him bringing multiple championships worth of experience first but that Charles is still the golden boy. All of that remains to be seen though.
