    Hamilton joins Ferrari from 2025!

    Didn't see that one coming!

    Honestly; great move.

    Didnt see this coming either... mainly because didn't believe they would pay his high wage demands. I suspect he has taken a drop.... but still a great move. Great way to finish your career. Hope it works out well for both Ferrari and Lewis.

    Hamilton and Leclerc would surely make a great team but they also need a car that is capable of beating the Red Bull.

    It is true. Mercedes and Ferrari have now confirmed it.

    Wonder who will be the unofficial No1... and anyone have predictions on who comes out on top between Charles and Lewis?

    Could be wrong but I think a young, fast and well established in the team Charles might be a tough cookie for Lewis to consistently get the better of.... should be very very interesting to see either way.

    Poor Carlos 😞. I thought he had done enough to keep his seat. Carlos to Merc... or do Merc take one of the McLaren boys and Carlos goes back to McLaren.... or long shot... does he replace Checo at RB?

    It's about the last time to do it, he'll be 40 next year and not getting any younger.

    Check this article out https://medium.com/motor-racing/the-...n-6c5fce033a9a

    Apparently, the Hamilton contract with Mercedes was a one year with an option for a second year. It really would not surprise me that he would decide if this is what l am getting then he would not take up the option after the actual one-year contract. Mercedes f*cked up and they have lost their man to Ferrari as a consequence.

    That is an example of how to disrespect your loyal long-standing champion. They give a seven-time world champion a one-year contract with an option for a second year and not expect him to leave?

    The 2024 season is going to be a miserable year for Hamilton at Mercedes. As they would not be generous with equipment and he would be excluded from certain competitive information. As such his 2024 car is going to be a dog.

    Have Ferrari offered him a 1 or 2 year contract?
