When it comes from this many sources I feel like it’s gospel at this point.

#

But we will see. Always a chance it’s false

frosty folio
#

Wasnt there a bit of a "blurry" period when Oscar Piastri / Alpine shitshow happened as well ?

valid gyro
#

It may not be entirely false, he might even have a piece of paper called contract with both teams now, but when that happens things just cannot be called so certainly.
Things can easily swing either way in situations like that.

slow cloud
#

Yea that’s fair.

#

If he has contract with both then it will be a messy situation. My understanding is that his 2025 contract was an option. So there wouldn’t be much of a mess.

Max is never touching Mercedes 💀

slow cloud
#

Watching your brain explode trying to decide whether to support max and also Mercedes or abandon both

turbid sierra
#

Closest he got to it was when he drove the GT3 on 24h of Daytona eSports

#

And then he was denied a AMG GTR cause he was too young lmao

valid gyro
#

I rooted for Mercs vs Ferrari, wouldn't be an issue KEKW

Albon to merc when

Or sainz(?)

Silly season for 2025 starting early

Carlito to notAudi Kapp

#

Bye bye to joe or boat-ass?

valid gyro
#

Yea, that line-up is one of the weakest.

rare cypress
#

So what's gonna be? Ocon to Mercedes and Mick to Alpine after WEC? 🗿

valid gyro
#

Don't think Merc cares for Ocon.

turbid sierra
#

I still think Merc wants Albon up there

slow cloud
#

I hope for Albon’s sake he doesn’t

valid gyro
#

Albon would be fun in a better car tbh.

slow cloud
#

Cause if he gets a demoralized Mercedes that is a boat it will ruin his reputation

#

When he drags the Williams to points everyone praises him and we see time and time again when at a top-ish team if you aren’t on the podium you are viewed as bad

valid gyro
#

Yea but staying in Williams forever is also not so nice.

#

Seb 2014 moment.

slow cloud
#

I agree, but there will be lots of options for 2025 I’m sure… don’t get overly excited and jump into a Mercedes imo

gaunt galleon
#

im just worried about fernando staying

slow cloud
#

Yea I think that will depend on AM performance this year

#

He got a taste of blood last year and other teams see he is still just as thirsty and capable as he was 10-15 years ago. I’d say nando going to a different team is definitely on the cards.

pine hemlock
#

The more I think about Lewis - Leclerc, the more … bruh, marketing wise you’re making a fortune

slow cloud
#

Lewis in a Ferrari team setting still seems bizarre to me. Like idk they just seem like they won’t mesh… will see I guess.

#

Lewis leaves because Monster isn’t sponsoring Mercedes 😭

LMAOOOO IMAGINE

Imagine that when Lewis drops Merc they get a start of the season like AM did last year and then he regrets his move 🗿

Would be kinda funny

One thing I beg it happens, if he leaves, take Bono with you 🥺

Losing "Bono me tire" radios would be truly a tragedy.

I love this sport, I do so much, after the most boring and dominant season, somehow it’s more exciting than ever, fuck football

#

This is apparently the story : there was an internal conflict about the W13 and W14 between the technical staff of Mike Elliott and Loïc Serra in charge of performance, we know Lewis never approved the no side pod concept …
Loïc Serra left due to this disagreement on the concept and went to … Ferrari and Mike Elliott seeing the failure of the car left ( I bet he got fired ) and now Mercedes are fighting a losing battle as they’re behind in development because dreams were sold rather than facts

valid gyro
#

If it was such a mistake in Lewis' eyes why he re-signed in 2023?

pine hemlock
#

Loyalty and as I said, they sold dreams rather than facts

#

They sold the potential of the car rather than black & white data supporting the claims

#

Loïc Serra took a good amount of engineers with him

valid gyro
#

That's some rather fragile loyalty tbh, basically smells like faking it until doors open elsewhere.

pine hemlock
#

James Allison comes in and is tasked to catch 2 years worth of developing and from his previous statements, they still don’t know exactly what to do

pine hemlock
valid gyro
#

What I'm saying is that he shouldn't have kept that front up only to get out asap when Ferrari CEO called.

pine hemlock
#

There’s so much we don’t know, we’ll never get the full picture

valid gyro
#

"yea guys I'm totally on for another 2 years"
not even halway in
"actually I'm staying for only 1 and already shook hands with your closest rival, enjoy having me for 2024"

pine hemlock
#

That’s parody the whole thing, you extend your contrat because stuff are promised to you, but then you realise nothing materialises, he most likely already tested the W15 and saw nothing, so of course you start looking elsewhere because you’re nearly 40 and I believe Ferrari found something for 2026 and Fred convinced him like Niki did and wants a season before that to get familiarised with the team

so sainz to redbull or what are we thinkin?

I'd say Sainz to Alfa and one of the Alfa Drivers is out

But really no idea

Yeah, Sainz to Alfa for that Audi project coming

gaunt galleon

shouldn't leave out albon either as he is also a driver of interest

turbid sierra
#

honestly with Perez being thrown for 2025 (hopefully) I'd think of either Daniel's return or Lawson getting in it somehow, no clue who else 🗿

valid gyro

Lawson would be thrown into the bad naming exercise team first.

So is Hamilton driving for Ferrari in 2024 or only from 2025 onwards?

do any of u think women ruin the sport by sexualising the drivers too much
my entire fyp is just videos of girls saying the ferrari lineup is the best looking

I’m probably doing that with Lewis way more 😭
You don’t wanna see the stuff I say to one of my friends

frigid lintel

what

turbid sierra
turbid sierra
#

if there's anything dumb with F1 is when they invite over random celebrities that have never heard of F1 to a weekend with a VIP Paddock pass and then proceed to post "omg @ mclaren thanks for the invite, I loved this cause I've been loving you since 2 hours ago" and then when a follower ask them something about it they have no clue, not even what the track name they're at is called 🗿

faint light
# obsidian anchor do any of u think women ruin the sport by sexualising the drivers too much my e...

Welcome to humanity. They are not ruining the sport just dont get involved in those circles.

Same would be if a woman driver was around. Groups of loud mouths would be hating her and being sexist, then another group commenting on her every post asking for feet pics.

People are degenerates and the terminally online are the worst of it.
And then there is the majority that is silently enjoying the races.

#

Id rather say the pandering to the american consumer but not actually doing that, just getting the celeb points is what can ruin the sport, but thats f1 for you. More politics than racing

#

Mooooore infos, Mercedes board refused the proposal of Lewis becoming an ambassador while John Elkann is willing to invest 250M in the projects Lewis started at Mercedes ( Mission 44 etc ) and make him an ambassador for his own brand, so yeah, the more the days will pass, the more infos will get out, as I said we’ll never get the full picture and a lot of factors played in the decision to leave

pine hemlock
#

My best guess right now, Mercedes got tired of the quantity of demands Lewis will always make and Lewis got tired of false promises while nothing indicates they’re sorting the car out, I feel there was internal drama

#

I mean it makes sense, you win 8 championships in a row and then suddenly you’re average, RIP

#

Oh yeah 7, my bad 😅

#

I mean don’t make me send the video Horner says Lewis is a 8th world champion 😭

rare cypress
#

Probably because he forgot that ||Nico won the 2016 championship||.

valid gyro
#

Idk how to even rate Ferrari then, cause after very successful 2000s they won nothing, while Mercedes had unfortunate couple years which ended in second place even with a throwaway car.

#

Lewis himself had a decent chance at a point to claim second from Checo too.

#

Either Ferrari found something convincing in performance over the Winter or this is almost entirely an off-track type decision, as competition-wise the switch looks like a side-step.

void bough
valid gyro
#

Who would've thought back then that Nico is as good as it gets for title challengers in recent-ish years, after Lewis himself.

#

Only 2 Mercedes boys were both on the winning and losing side of truly season-long title fights since like ages ago. Before them you'd have to rewind back to Alonso's young years.

#

Seb in Ferrari could almost qualify, but before the ending part of season Ferrari always trailed off and Lewis' count going up was a certainty before final races.

Being younger Albon is also more likely to improve over Checo.

Mfw I just remembered that Kimi Antonelli that everyone randomly started to know last year jumped from F4 to F2 over the fall break 🗿

I think Toto said he’s one of the guys he wants up in Mercedes very soon

valid gyro
#

Could be their own Max if kid does well.

pine hemlock
#

More infos …
The 1+1 deal with the clause was a compromise from Lewis asking a 3 years deal and Mercedes refusing

#

Could indeed be connected to Kimi

#

But … I’m happy to be proven wrong, the hype around him is too big, he’ll fall under pressure

valid gyro
#

Depends on the person. Worked out for Max cause he didn't really care.

#

Tsunoda is a recent example of someone with good raw speed, but a few screws loose in the head that always make him go up and down in people's eyes 💀

pine hemlock
#

Kimi at the best in my opinion is just another Oscar, not at all a Max

prisma pagoda

It might just be the bad car but i havent really seen tsunoda pull off results that absolutely wowed me. My terrible memory also probably doesnt help

pine hemlock
#

P4 in Abu Dhabi, overtaking Bottas in a Mercedes 😭

He feels upper mid tier, with too many unpredictable bad episodes

I think even his debut weekends describe him perfectly, when he finished P9 right away and got called one of best rookies in years by some, but next time around crashing started.

That might’ve been the effect of Bahrain as it’s an easy track for rookies to begin rather than Melbourne and yeah he still had a good race, but as always, people jump to conclusions immediately

Ferrari ditching their entire history for a 40yo man, yes kappaPFFT

#

Objectively Mercedes didn’t either, 2020 was that major event and Lewis being the only black driver ever in the sport, to support the message they went black, 2021 they move a little bit away from it and 2022 they went back to normal, 2023 is just weight saving, I’m 100% certain they don’t think of sending any message anymore lmao
That being said if Ferrari goes more black than usual, it’ll be to save weight, but hopefully 2026 changes that and we go back to teams properly paint their cars

Only two salaries reaching 100 mill before was Schumacher getting 30 mil + 70 from sponsors in a year and Kimi getting a 100 mill over the span of 3 years 🗿 sure Max gets it in 2 years but never as a combined salary thing

Redbull has wicked bonus clauses iirc, for winning races, titles and championships i bet he gets a pretty penny extra.

Anyway, Albon confirmed by James

i meaannn. not like we havent seen contracts be broken before. i highly doubt albon doesnt have a way out if a big team has a spot for him. that said idk if its worth it for him trying to switch.

He probably has a release option in his contract, wouldn't be surprised if he did

i can see him biting if merc has a seat, i reckon he could take the gamble with george. but he knows what its like being at redbull, i kinda doubt he wants to give that another go unless there is some structural change within redbull to facilitate him also developing the car to his needs instead of exclusively max'.

Inlet on show car looks similar to old Mercedes, but overall not the same concept cause RB is not aiming to delete sidepods, they're trying to feed even more air under them.

It's honestly amazing how much of an aggressive change this year's RB is, when pretty much everyone else follows their old trend. They flipped it completely.

rare cypress
valid gyro
#

If there's one man I trust to fix it, he's him.

RB is using the airflow quite differently between all these familiar at a glace shapes, it can't be just an accidental difference with Newey. It's joever if this thing actually works on track.

piastri has more potential than leclerc and makes less mistakes

#

Bound to be controversial. I think both have a lot of raw pace and talent, but I do have to agree Leclerc feels very accident prone, whether through his own doing or Ferrari’s.

#

Piastri seems consistent

valid gyro
#

Ferrari was a bitch to drive and Leclerc isn't the type to compromise speed, so it will always lead to accidents until Ferrari makes a better car. That thing in 2022 especially was on a knife's edge constantly and could even stall rear aero.

slow cloud
#

I agree the car was poorly balanced, but then you have to adjust. Even if it means compromising speed. Driving a car outside of its limits for more pace is hardly smart imo.

#

So much risk for a pole position that will be lost on Sunday anyway

valid gyro
#

Yea, but critically it's Ferrari we're talking about. It's all or nothing with these guys.

slow cloud
#

I agree the car needs to be better. To me it’s still no excuse to go crash it.

It's the Ferrari way bro, Charles doesn't come off as a particularly reckless driver in general and for how much shit he had to endure from the team he didn't do bad imo FrogeItalian

slow cloud

Yea he is far from a bad driver. Of course he doesn’t intentionally wreck. It just to me anyway comes off as naive. Pushing the car beyond its limits. Given a better car Leclerc is just as likely to win a WDC as Max.
