I believe this as well because Lewis spoke about the team needing to admit they were wrong on some decisions about the direction in which the car is being built. It was obvious they made George the number 1.
Mercedes abandoned Lewis in Australia and Singapore. It appears that Lewis didn’t feel anymore loved, respected and supported by the whole team. Just my opinion
Good examples are both Lewis and Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to taking care of their body, diet, physique and other aspects in order to stay as young as possible. Although it has nothing to do with it, people who say 30s-40s is old and you are physically weak and can't do anything really more in an active way, just have to take a look at figures in history who participated in warfare, even at an older age. Good example is Omar Mukhtar from Libya against Mussolini's forces.
I know I heard some idiot saying we shouldn’t suppose Lewis will last as long as Alonso? What? Alonso is a good example of longevity, but Lewis does even more to stay healthy.
Lewis Hamilton is the perfect example of a gentleman and a hero. There should be no explanations other than excuses necessary. He has made Mercedes the established and successful brand that it is now . Certainly not the other way around. Mercedes should be ashamed of their treatment in the last year. A brilliant decision on his Part. He showed his loyalty. They seemed to have misplaced theirs. The fans will be loyal to Lewis wherever he goes. Respect is more important than money. In the end, the legend is made by your character. Lewis has oodles of that and then more . Congratulations Ferrari!
Maestro Adrian Newey moving to Ferrari because his wife fancies living in Italy for a few years after being in Milton Keynes is probably the most believable F1 take I've heard in a while 😂
I'm surprised but I'm not at the same time, because just like our boy Cam, Merc's team gave up on Lewis. When he placed 2nd last season no one from the team came to greet him is wild. But all love. I wish him all the best. Ferrari saw an opportunity to offer Lewis all of what Merc was gatekeeping, and Lewis said lets do it.
I can’t believe the way Mercedes have treated him. I honestly think he would’ve gone back to McLaren if they had a seat available if Ferrari hadn’t of come in for him!
Ferrari has been trying to get Lewis over the past few years. I think it is the perfect timing for him to make the move whether he can get another championship or. It's time for him to make a change. After 2021 Merc has shown cracks in the armor. They have not been operating as top tier team from the top down.
DC was a brand Ambassador for Mercedes, David Coulthard winning only 13 races between 3 teams , only one of those teams had a Mercedes engine bu5 Lewis who has been with the Mercedes Family for since he was 13 years old was denied Brand Ambassador by the board
Yeah and DC probably asked for a salary of maybe 500K-1 mil per year while Lewis is probably asking for 50+ mil just to be ambassador lol. Ferarri isn’t making him either going to be a shock for Lewis fans but this whole 100mil per year rumour is pure bullshit 😂
Is David Coulthard an activist ? A cross-dressing clown ? A terrorist organisation supporter ? A victim playing idiot ? I would not like to have that guy as my ambassador.
@@lalalittle3900 it’s not confirmed anywhere and the last time Lewis signed a contract, the Lewis fan club tried claiming Mercedes gave him 70 mil a year plus ambassador role. Then guess what? It was bullshit lmao, was getting paid 35 mil and zero ambassador role. You really think Ferarri just signed Leclerc their number 1 and future of the team and then go and give someone else 2-3x his salary? When it’s confirmed I’ll believe it but until then I’m 99% sure it’s bullshit started by an Italian journalist (who btw is the only source) anything else?
@Jaytalise Mercedes have long underrated Hamilton's worth and been over-confident that promises (with narry sign of likely fulfillment) of upon retirement, A) 'part team ownership' and managerial role, B) 10 year Mercedes international ambassador role, C) multiple year contracts Toto Wolff (who didn't get to be a billionaire part team owner and team principal by liberally sharing the corporate sponsorship billions in the sport, even with 'good friends' Hamilton), may well be now regretting not delivering for Hamilton; as the legendary 7xF1 GP WDC TITLE WINNER's shoes are likely to be most difficult to fill. Sadly deceased MercedesAMG executive director Niki Lauda, had to make very special presentations to the Daimler Benz overlord board of directors, backed up by (a Hamilton mentor), Sir Stirling Moss, because they never wanted Hamilton . . . Then Toto Wolff bought his way into the team and exited Ross Brawn, (from whom Mercedes bought the F1 team) and who Niki Lauda credited with convincing Hamilton to join Mercedes around the then McLaren driver's mother's London home kitchen table. Allegedly, to placate Mercedes desire for a German driver World title victory, Hamilton was surreptitiously sabotaged with DNF's and even engine fire to gift team mate German-born (of a Finnish F1 GP WDC TITLE winning father), Nico Rosberg an undeserved World title, even though Hamilton had more race wins (10). Mercedes failed to support Hamilton over the 2021 Abu Dhabi debacle and robbing of Hamilton's 8th World Championship title; The FiA in alleged complicity to gift Max Verstappen and RedBull the 2021 title, despite Hamilton had (according to the discarded rules) already won. Mercedes failed to listen to Hamilton over the development concept on 2022 until it was far too late and resulted in the last 2 years devastating lack of success. The car was a dog until James Alison returned and Mike Elliot demoted. Sir Lewis Larbslestier Hamilton MBE Hon.FREng is an unmistakable global brand, that Ferrari recognised and spent the last 3 years doggedly testing Hamilton's loyalty to Mercedes. They have now captured him and were rewarded with an immediate celebratory 4 billion on their market share price, after announcing Hamilton's commitment to joining them in 2025. They know that they will sell a lot of cars internationally, at a million a pop . . . All for a comparatively lowly $100 Million p.a. earnings for (a never guilty of greed) Hamilton and maybe the multiple World Champion's limited edition of Ferrari 'LH44' . . . It's every racing driver's desire to race a 'Prancing Horse' and wear the iconic red colour. Hamilton gets to end his career with the 'tifosi' track side red sea chanting his name and with no pressure, for he has nothing to prove to anyone. George Russell and ?? (and whomsoever partners him), are very unlikely indeed, to be able to give Mercedes what they've lost to Ferrari . . .and the English 'Young Gun' has a mountain to climb, to prove himself with Hamilton gone to pastures new . . . Good luck to the now proven short-sighted Toto and Mercedes, as if the last 2 years have been difficult, then the next few are likely to prove devastating . . .
So, Mercedes gave Hamilton 1. No ambassadorial role ( whitch he deserves ), 2. No multi-year contract, 3. No championship winning car, 4. No respect for his input on the design front , and, 5. No support ( was left alone in Australia and Singapore). Did they expect him to stay ? For what ? Mercedes made a huge mistake by disrespecting Lewis this past season, taking him for granted and focusing on Russell’s losses than Hamilton’s wins. Now, Lewis is leaving. Good luck to them
Toto’s EGO is what happened. He’s not interested in giving Hamilton bigger roles in the team post career cause that’s for Toto himself. Toto is a majority shareholder holder of the Mercedes F1 team, has shares in Aston Martin and Williams. His presence in F1 is very money oriented and Lewis would cut into that imo and makes sense why he didn’t get any of the things you listed. Another thing to note is just how much money was Lewis asking for ambassador role? If he was expecting driver level salaries that’s kinda delusional. There is plenty of former F1 drivers who are ambassadors of teams, but they aren’t asking for driver level salaries which Lewis probably is.
Mercedes did not do their job. They only gave Lewis the fastest car for 8 of the 11 seasons he was there. They should be ashamed of themselves. Lewis should give no loyalty in return!
@@mohammedaneeskhan790bs, did Bottas win a championship with Mercedes? Nico only won when Lewis had 5 power units blow up in 2016. Lewis GAVE Mercedes the championship wins, he beat Vettel in the Ferrari in 2017/2018. He is the only reason anyone cares about Mercedes. Just look what happens to Mercedes when Lewis goes to Ferrari, Mercedes will be a nobody team with fking George lol.
I am a McLaren fan. Sir Lewis has done so much for F1. I am pleased to see this legend finally having the chance to join a legendary F1 Team. I wish them all the best for the coming seasons.
the Tifosi will go completely insane when Lewis comes out in that red uniform in 2025! Refusing to give Lewis the ambassador role was a huge mistake for Mercedes.
I think even Max is probably excited for 2025 now. Having Charles and Lewis in Ferraris coming for him will probably light a fire under his ass and make it exciting for him again. And with the McClarens there too 🤞🏾🤞🏾?! Fun all around!!
I love how your invested in the Business of F1 that's the one thing that keeps me around I love watching all of these deals flow through the sport keep killing it
An also interesting point and I don’t know how much this factors into the decision but as you said Ferrari are F1 as much as F1 is Ferrari, They’ve been there since the beginning and that red car is what even the people living under rocks know to be THE car to be in but more importantly than that the culture and the exposure that Ferrari brings is ultimately about changing the world. Mission 44 was great at Mercedes but at Ferrari it will be (to use a Cam phrase) MIND BOGGLING The fight for justice and equality amplified and boosted by the reach of Ferrari, A whole new demographic paying attention. All of his activism will go into a next level (maybe not immediately as he would want to knuckle down behind the visor for the first 2 years) but as a brand ambassador after he retires, His impact will rock the sport and really wake people up. F1 marches to the beat of Ferrari and won’t change until Ferrari change.
52:42 100% yes Lewis going to want to crush George before he leaves Merc Hamilton came into the sport and went toe to toe with the back to back reigning Champ and didn’t flinch. He in equal part with Rosberg burnt a friendship for the titles He will absolutely want to crush George but as you mentioned if it’s not for 25 points then he will maximise team results.
Lewis can choose what he wants. Don't begrudge him his transfer to Ferrari one bit. Frankly once the dust settled it was apparent that both Mercedes and Lewis had become too complacent. He will need his wits about him this year and next year to navigate his past and his future because professionalism has many faces. And no amount of history will make a difference when it comes down to it. A quagmire is still a quagmire even if the surface is covered in rose petals.
1:03:30 It’s like building a stock car to race in Nascar but it’s absolutely unbeatable while turning right The gag is that the Nascar are always turning left
I think we are all over thinking Lewis' move. Lewis has accomplished all his childhood dreams, but 1, winning a championship with Ferrari. Now as his driving career comes to an end finally the opportunity to fulfil that childhood dream presents itself. Lewis would regret not taking this last chance to fulfil that 1 most desired childhood dream. All things considered, I think this is why Lewis made the leap ...... to fulfil that 1 most desired childhood dream.
I feel like Charles and George are basically the same driver. Fast in one lap, need a little work on race pace. The difference is Charles is less ruthless and annoying and will probably get on better with Lewis. But Charles is no joke, and that car and team is built around him. Lightning could strike twice and he's pulled a blinder - or it could be very similar to when Ricciardo joined Mclaren and nothing clicked.
The problem here is that we are all of a sudden forgetting that this is Ferrari. They are a great brand and are improving but they've made a habit of not winning. One can't assume the signing will all of a sudden make all their incompetence which most fans were mocking them for, will just disappear. They still have to build winning habits in order to compete against the champs. Also let's not think that Charles though in my opinion is a bit too easily pushed over, is pretty damn good a driver.
I am most interested to see where British fans end up. They seemed to favor a German company over a British one. Do they stick with Mercedes/George? Do They go with the British company team or do they go with Italian? Will be interesting to see.
I don't follow teams I follow drivers. With that said, I will be moving with Lewis in 2025 along with millions of his fans 😊 I'm sure there will still be many that will support Merc and George, but they will loose a lot of them.
I think Merc knows that Max might need escape plan in 2026 because of new engine rules and we all know that RB can't match with Ferrari and Merc and everyone else has long contracts and in my eyes GR is also a question mark because i can't see him as a world champion and Merc might support him now but if he doesn't show something soon we might see Max and Kimi in one team what is called Mercedes 2026
The news hit like crazy, I woke up to a what’s app message from a friend about the news but it was Sky Sports colours but not actual Sky Sports branding so I was doubtful, I immediately googled it and saw all the media speaking about it. The silliest of silly seasons.
Cam I believe Lewis was showed something Mercedes showed him before he joined Merc like Nikki convinced him, engineers and Burn's return aswell talking with them, I don't believe only money brought him to Ferrari cause remember from 2026 still the cars will be ground effect cars aswell, so during the meetings after convincing him with money still he still believed winning with Merc was possible until he saw the cracks and Ferrari showed him a big project and showed him he'll never say no to because have you seen Lewis not winning and enjoying getting paid, he doesn't want that on he's legacy because seriously this is all it's about now!
Midlife crisis... yearning for a fresh start; purposeful self-disruption; identity shift; new milieu; change; novel sights, sounds, flavors, faces; shock of the new; better weather.
Mercedes got complacent because they did not see Ferrari coming. They assumed that Lewis did not have an option and Ferrari took advantage. I feel a bit bad for Toto, I don't think this is what he wanted. This has turned out great for Lewis though.
The Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari has moved mountains and continents as its shocked the world of F1 and The numbers of the stock market just shows that Lewis Hamilton is a brand itself
I’m not waiting. I have already switched teams and am now supporting Ferrari for the first time as of yesterday. I was with Lewis at McLaren, followed him to Mercedes and and have decided to precede him to Ferrari in anticipation. I only supported Mercedes because of Lewis
everybody knows max will win by a large margin like what we have seen for past 2 years most of the f1 fans are not keen to watch that..but most of them will be waiting to watch the team dynamics in merc and ferrari😂 so I don't think anyone care seeing max winning again
I'm also looking forward to how that will work with Lewis/Ferrari/Mercedes. But it's certainly not the most important thing imo. I personally look more at Redbull and Maxterclass. Guess I'm not the only one. 🇳🇱
He doesn’t know me, but I am happy for Lewis Hamilton. Who can change the financial well being of two F1 teams like him? We are making the argument he cannot still race, look at Alonso. Does INEOS stay?
I said it on your other stream, i don't think Lewis left because of performance issues and even if he did, then a move to Ferrari is not an upward step when you consider the recent history Merc has been outperforming Ferrari. I can understand him looking out for himself but i can also understand Merc's position. This is a business decision and I'm sure they are smart enough & know their numbers. Lewis no matter how great is turning 40, and so Merc wasn't willing to invest so much more to someone they see is at the tail end of his career. 2) Toto hinted to it, they are looking at their future post Lewis which is not so far and when you see Merc competition, they all got young talent under 27years. So they can't justify investing so much in him. I can understand that. These rich folk aren't rich for no reason, they make difficult decisions and i am sure they had their reasons. f1 is a business and just as Lewis was looking out of his own interest, so were Mercedes. It's a bitter reality but it's fact. My only concern is the dynamics that Lewis is going to have to deal with at Ferrari. Once this honeymoon period is over, Ferrari culture is unlike any. I mean you have Merc mantra, no blame culture whereas Ferrari is an all blame culture. Then although charlse has his issues, he is pretty quick and a guy who has been in thebshade for that long, is not an easy opponent. I wonder how long before they have to deal with hard times of results? But all this is speculative on my part, we shall wait to see how it all unfolds.
Fair enough. But it’s also a wise business decision to ensure that your greatest asset isn’t abandoned and neglected. Mercedes and Lewis have had a symbiotic relationship. I can understand their reluctance about giving him a multi-year contract. But why did they deny him the ambassadorial role ? Why did they reject his inputs regarding development ? And why did the garage abandoned him in Australia and Singapore ? Without Lewis they wouldn’t have been as successful. Lewis was prepared to stay loyal, but they weren’t. I believe they will regret it
@@mrdenson3101 I hear you, and again we don't know the details and the parameters of their considerations, but clearly they didn't feel they could justify it and I ain't mad at it. Cos F1 is a business.
@@amintoodeepI agree with you that it’s a business and they had their reasons. Only time will tell whether it was a good or foolish decision. It also means that they shouldn’t blame Lewis for leaving. He has also made a business decision that favours him. The guy is a 7 times world champion and the most successful driver in the history of the sport. And regardless of age his performance is still very solid and hasn’t declined yet and doesn’t show signs of declining . Mercedes problems for the last two seasons were with the car and leadership and not with Lewis performance. In fact he carried them last season in spite of the car and Russell’s poor performance. P It appears that Mercedes played hardball and expected Lewis to just stay and take it. He was loyal to them and stuck by them even when they couldn’t give him a race-winning car for two seasons. They didn’t think Ferrari would respect his value and poach him. In terms of F1 brand value, Mercedes will loose with Lewis departure because of the intangibles he brought to the team. For Lewis and Ferrari it will be a win-win in terms of brand value
Lol Max does not align with the values and culture of Merc. I'm almost certain that Toto sleeps very well from having nothing to do with him and his dad.😂
Greatest move for F1 and us SLH fans... He just took control of narrative for 2 years. No one is going to care about RB wins. Fred clearly has shown him the plan and it's so good he left the team He built. This is going to be a great movie ending.
its just a news cycle..Im gonna care and enjoy RB wins and you're gonna hate it all over again (which makes me happy) what does lewis moving to ferrari have to do with it ? but yea probably lewis did it like this (instead of with a bit of class and respect for mercedes toto, sainz etc) to capture some headlines that his driving no longer captures. oh, it would be funny though if george totally destroys him this year...Watch the headlines then! casting doubt on the move to ferrari if lewis has an absolutely soulless horror season
Cam, you're not wearing your Mercedes hat.... sign of things to come? Some of the comments here are just... silly. Claims that Hamilton built Mercedes - I guess Brawn and Schumi did nothing. Claims that Mercedes treated him poorly - I don't see how anyone can objectively say that. As far as the ambassador role goes, Mercedes is a global brand, not a British brand. Mercedes wants to sell cars across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia. Hamilton is polarizing in F1 and isn't as popular globally as he is in the UK.
i think we probably see much better LH 2024 and 2025 i can imagine that 2021 year where he actually had mad battle with Max and what was taken away, that sucked all his energy out + dogshit Merc car 2022, he was better 2023 but i think even that Ferrari deal gives him much more fire this year and many years after that. We can talk about Max, Leclerc and GR that they are super fast drivers but LH still knows how to drive car very fast, i mean very fast if car works the way it should work.
Please get real....he does not wan't an ambassadorial role he want's an ambassadorial role for 10 year with the salary of a premium F1 driver, I don't think LH could realistically expect Mercedes to pay that, LH over asked.
We knew he wasn’t happy, the whole podium disgraceful situation he took that midfield car to P2 and celebrated with McLaren and Ferrari mechanics😒 while his team was mourning over George’s rookie mistakes. Offering 1+1 to the GOAT ? Your actual meal ticket !! The level of disrespect !!!! Forza Ferrari in 2025 ❤
Mercedes was showing Lewis how they valued his decade plus of greatness with their team and he showed them why he bet on himself again. I would not bet against Sir Lewis Hamilton.
Cam, I do agree with much of what you have said about Lewis's free choice to move to Ferrari, but with 2 issues. First. Most buyers of a Mercedes have Zero interest or even knowledge of Lewis Hamilton, so the huge salary he would demand as an Ambassador is not sensible for the company. When is enough money enough? Second, if you really reshuffle the best drivers into the best cars, there would be no competition. We really do not know how competitive everyone is when the teams have such disparately fast cars. How good is Nico Hulkenberg if we will never see him in a competitive car? Lewis is extremely dominant in a good car, but the last 2 years have not even been particularly consistent. I do very much appreciate your vids - Thanks!
He challenged Sergio for 2nd in the WDC in a car that was maybe 2nd quickest at 3 or 4 out of 23 race weekends. The other 19 were split between Aston and then Ferrari and Mclaren And even towards the end of the season Mclaren and Ferrari were ahead of them on pace. And let’s not forget the dreadful straightline speed of that Mercedes 😂 A joke of a car
"we are going for 45 minutes, or less I promise...." ok 1h21m 🤥😂 I'm truly happy for Lewis I think Lewis did well on pulling this move, Mercedes is not as good like a few years ago so why not? That's one of his dreams driving for Ferrari, so good luck to him. I think he will need, luck and patience 😂
My take on it all of this started from 2021 because Mercedes didn't do anything for him over the fraud and when totto was questioned about info leak he threathned to take the fia to court what did he did for Lewis Nothing. He is been overheating since and the rubbish 2yrs he was fully at boiling point, so he is moving to cool down. My question is if this happ to George if it's the samething that going to happened? Why would anyone want to go to Mercedes if that is there policy or they got paied off to drop if ?
2026 is the first time for a long time both the engine and areo regs have substantially changed at the same time. Merc are gonna have the best P.U. but crap areo cos they just fundamentally dont understand ground effect. Red Bull are gonna have the best aero but have no chance of making a decent engine on the first time of asking without Honda to do it for them. Ferrari will be good, not best but good, at both. Thus, Ferrari are winning 2026. Lewis has pulled off another banger move.
The drama.is unfolding . Newey leaves red bull . Joins ferrari . Ferrari become dominat hamilton wins 2 more titles retires at 9 titles with ferrari back on top f1 isnt a sport anymore its a reality tv drama .
I don't know why Cam is so insulted by mercedes not willing to shell out 20 million a year for 10 years for Lewis in a PR role. Maybe he should have asked less... Money does not grow on trees and car manufacturing market is not stable atm.
Gen Z are the new target audience for brands to pander to and they hate Lewis style of politics. Lewis is done both as a driver and as an influencer. Lewis has a large fan base but by far the loudest and most visable are the toxic and mentally fragile millennials that don’t understand what a good sportsman is. I’m sure this comment will be deleted because it might upset those I mentioned or will be responded to by people who miss the point completely.
Kinda how F1 cheated Lewis and he acted with the most composure and patience I’ve ever seen in my life? Yea so fragile and toxic. We love toxic Lewis. I wish I liked Max since he’s so wholesome and reflective.
Ironically you’ve succeeded in making pretty much the most toxic comment on here. It’s also intrinsically inaccurate. Of course there are Hamilton fans who are toxic on social media. Every driver has fans like that. But to say they comprise the majority of toxic F1 fans? I think you need to take another look at the orange army social media soldiers before you make that statement.
@@CamLive. Haha I would think so. Heard they might put Occon next to George in the Merc until Antonelli is ready. George, Occon, Toto… it will not be the most liked team like that. It will be interesting next season. I predict a lot of seat swaps. Heard that Alex might go back to Red Bull. I am a Max fan but looking forward to the Charles and Lewis fight. 😊
@@jbarber1016 Facts. Personally I hope Fernando goes to Mercedes. Then all the best drivers are in the best cars. 😊 It will also help Mercedes not to lose a lot of mechanics.
Nobody really knows how it's gonna end . However Max Verstappen frenzy and RB hype were obliterated from the horizon. Nobody saw it coming and for Max , Horner, and Marko must be a hard one to swallow. They're too quiet. I remember someone saying LH was a brand and Max was the F1 saviour. Well it looks like Lewis is F1 brand himself and Max just a major sponsor.
Because he is a clown. And clowns belong to the circus. Ferrari is a true circus team. We are going to have hilarious moments. Plus, lulu cannot give valuable feedback and Ferrari does not realize that. Mercedes does, little Georgie took care of that. 😂
Um, you didn't see what he did to Seb then? And that was before having several more years experience in the Ferrari. It's going to take Lewis time to get to grips with a new car, engine and team. Charles is already up and running with all of that. If ferrari produce a car that can win a championship, it will be Charles winning it.
He left because they wouldn't pay the big bucks he wanted which left only Ferrari who could afford to meet his price, he knows at his age he's lost his edge so grab the best offer while he can. George Russell should now be Mercedes number one driver while Hamilton swans about in the middle of the grid until he moves to Ferrari. Hamilton used to be a nice guy until he got to big for his boots.
These people that are unfamiliar with Charles game will wake up real quick in 25, lewis isn't in his prime George has made that clear if he was then it's another story.
Lol, sure. Lewis obliterated George last year, Charles can't keep it together over a season, Lewis can. Age doesn't mean anything to Lewis. You guys are insane to think there's a single thing different from lewis in 2021 and now. He's just as good. Mercedes just made a shit car.
Right decision to join Ferrari?
Definitely yes !
Yes, Mercedes was going to let him go after the 2025 season.
Yes, absolutely the right decision. 🙏
It is very very good for Lewis but not for Ferrari. Vasseur is for Leclerc and the big boss wanted Hamilton...... it will be nasty.
Yes...The Money 💰
The New Technical team treated Lewis like a rookie, and George like a King utter disrespect for all he did for Mercedes.
I believe this as well because Lewis spoke about the team needing to admit they were wrong on some decisions about the direction in which the car is being built. It was obvious they made George the number 1.
Sounds like Mercedes didn’t want him much longer. I can see Mercedes leaving F1 in a few years.
Mercedes abandoned Lewis in Australia and Singapore. It appears that Lewis didn’t feel anymore loved, respected and supported by the whole team. Just my opinion
you are correct on all your points, I still can't believe they weren't there to celebrate the podiums but Ferrari was
Spot on!
One day the real truth will come out as to why he really left.
I am 38 and i am filled with horror when people say people with that age should retire . Dude i havent even started living yet
And with good diet what he probably have. he is probably much younger in that sense
I'm 43, nows the time brotha
Good examples are both Lewis and Cristiano Ronaldo when it comes to taking care of their body, diet, physique and other aspects in order to stay as young as possible. Although it has nothing to do with it, people who say 30s-40s is old and you are physically weak and can't do anything really more in an active way, just have to take a look at figures in history who participated in warfare, even at an older age. Good example is Omar Mukhtar from Libya against Mussolini's forces.
Exactly. Ageism is annoying.
I know I heard some idiot saying we shouldn’t suppose Lewis will last as long as Alonso? What? Alonso is a good example of longevity, but Lewis does even more to stay healthy.
The most eloquent f1 youtuber
What his age got to do with it? Nobody was saying shit like that about Alonzo. Give me a break
Lewis Hamilton is the perfect example of a gentleman and a hero.
There should be no explanations other than excuses necessary.
He has made Mercedes the established and successful brand that it is now . Certainly not the other way around.
Mercedes should be ashamed of their treatment in the last year.
A brilliant decision on his
Part.
He showed his loyalty. They seemed to have misplaced theirs.
The fans will be loyal to Lewis wherever he goes.
Respect is more important than money.
In the end, the legend is made by your character.
Lewis has oodles of that and then more .
Congratulations Ferrari!

One thing that is also a great match, is how both Sir Lewis & Ferrari see eye to eye when it comes to PR
@Jaytalise
Mercedes have long underrated Hamilton's worth and been over-confident that promises (with narry sign of likely fulfillment) of upon retirement,
A) 'part team ownership' and managerial role,
B) 10 year Mercedes international ambassador role, C) multiple year contracts
Toto Wolff (who didn't get to be a billionaire part team owner and team principal by liberally sharing the corporate sponsorship billions in the sport, even with 'good friends' Hamilton), may well be now regretting not delivering for Hamilton; as the legendary 7xF1 GP WDC TITLE WINNER's shoes are likely to be most difficult to fill.
Sadly deceased MercedesAMG executive director Niki Lauda, had to make very special presentations to the Daimler Benz overlord board of directors, backed up by (a Hamilton mentor), Sir Stirling Moss, because they never wanted Hamilton . . .
Then Toto Wolff bought his way into the team and exited Ross Brawn, (from whom Mercedes bought the F1 team) and who Niki Lauda credited with convincing Hamilton to join Mercedes around the then McLaren driver's mother's London home kitchen table.
Allegedly, to placate Mercedes desire for a German driver World title victory, Hamilton was surreptitiously sabotaged with DNF's and even engine fire to gift team mate German-born (of a Finnish F1 GP WDC TITLE winning father), Nico Rosberg an undeserved World title, even though Hamilton had more race wins (10).
Mercedes failed to support Hamilton over the 2021 Abu Dhabi debacle and robbing of Hamilton's 8th World Championship title; The FiA in alleged complicity to gift Max Verstappen and RedBull the 2021 title, despite Hamilton had (according to the discarded rules) already won.
Mercedes failed to listen to Hamilton over the development concept on 2022 until it was far too late and resulted in the last 2 years devastating lack of success. The car was a dog until James Alison returned and Mike Elliot demoted.
Sir Lewis Larbslestier Hamilton MBE Hon.FREng is an unmistakable global brand, that Ferrari recognised and spent the last 3 years doggedly testing Hamilton's loyalty to Mercedes.
They have now captured him and were rewarded with an immediate celebratory 4 billion on their market share price, after announcing Hamilton's commitment to joining them in 2025.
They know that they will sell a lot of cars internationally, at a million a pop . . .
All for a comparatively lowly $100 Million p.a. earnings for (a never guilty of greed) Hamilton and maybe the multiple World Champion's limited edition of Ferrari 'LH44' . . .
It's every racing driver's desire to race a 'Prancing Horse' and wear the iconic red colour.
Hamilton gets to end his career with the 'tifosi' track side red sea chanting his name and with no pressure, for he has nothing to prove to anyone.
George Russell and ?? (and whomsoever partners him), are very unlikely indeed, to be able to give Mercedes what they've lost to Ferrari . . .and the English 'Young Gun' has a mountain to climb, to prove himself with Hamilton gone to pastures new . . .
Good luck to the now proven short-sighted Toto and Mercedes, as if the last 2 years have been difficult, then the next few are likely to prove devastating . . .
I Could not have said it better👏🏻
HAM going to Ferrari ain’t just spice. It’s the whole damn rack, kitchen, and farm
The zero side pod was not the problem. James Allison said that the car was born wrong. It's wrong from front to back.
So, Mercedes gave Hamilton
1. No ambassadorial role ( whitch he deserves ),
2. No multi-year contract,
3. No championship winning car,
4. No respect for his input on the design front , and,
5. No support ( was left alone in Australia and Singapore).
Did they expect him to stay ? For what ?
Mercedes made a huge mistake by disrespecting Lewis this past season, taking him for granted and focusing on Russell’s losses than Hamilton’s wins. Now, Lewis is leaving. Good luck to them
Exactly this. Doesn't read well does it 😞
Toto’s EGO is what happened. He’s not interested in giving Hamilton bigger roles in the team post career cause that’s for Toto himself. Toto is a majority shareholder holder of the Mercedes F1 team, has shares in Aston Martin and Williams. His presence in F1 is very money oriented and Lewis would cut into that imo and makes sense why he didn’t get any of the things you listed.
Another thing to note is just how much money was Lewis asking for ambassador role? If he was expecting driver level salaries that’s kinda delusional. There is plenty of former F1 drivers who are ambassadors of teams, but they aren’t asking for driver level salaries which Lewis probably is.
Mercedes did not do their job. They only gave Lewis the fastest car for 8 of the 11 seasons he was there. They should be ashamed of themselves. Lewis should give no loyalty in return!
@@mohammedaneeskhan790bs, did Bottas win a championship with Mercedes? Nico only won when Lewis had 5 power units blow up in 2016. Lewis GAVE Mercedes the championship wins, he beat Vettel in the Ferrari in 2017/2018. He is the only reason anyone cares about Mercedes. Just look what happens to Mercedes when Lewis goes to Ferrari, Mercedes will be a nobody team with fking George lol.
If you think Drive To Survive was something for the 2021 season, the next two years are going to be a sensational overload!
I am a McLaren fan. Sir Lewis has done so much for F1. I am pleased to see this legend finally having the chance to join a legendary F1 Team. I wish them all the best for the coming seasons.
I’m so happy for Sir Lewis. 🎉
like your buddy Peter Windsor said, why didnt Lewis forsee the porpoising? I am sure he saw that and the Merc didnt listen to him for that either :)
Interestingly enough Merc only gave George a two year deal as well which makes me think they don't have much faith in him being the #1 driver
the Tifosi will go completely insane when Lewis comes out in that red uniform in 2025!
Refusing to give Lewis the ambassador role was a huge mistake for Mercedes.
Shocked as an mercedes and lewis hamilton fan but gonna look good in red🏎️🇬🇧
I think even Max is probably excited for 2025 now. Having Charles and Lewis in Ferraris coming for him will probably light a fire under his ass and make it exciting for him again. And with the McClarens there too 🤞🏾🤞🏾?! Fun all around!!
Will Bono accept the change to Italy, I wonder? This was a well thought out podcast. I agree with everything you've mentioned hereon. Well done
I love how your invested in the Business of F1 that's the one thing that keeps me around I love watching all of these deals flow through the sport
keep killing it
An also interesting point and I don’t know how much this factors into the decision but as you said Ferrari are F1 as much as F1 is Ferrari, They’ve been there since the beginning and that red car is what even the people living under rocks know to be THE car to be in but more importantly than that the culture and the exposure that Ferrari brings is ultimately about changing the world.
Mission 44 was great at Mercedes but at Ferrari it will be (to use a Cam phrase) MIND BOGGLING
The fight for justice and equality amplified and boosted by the reach of Ferrari, A whole new demographic paying attention.
All of his activism will go into a next level (maybe not immediately as he would want to knuckle down behind the visor for the first 2 years) but as a brand ambassador after he retires, His impact will rock the sport and really wake people up.
F1 marches to the beat of Ferrari and won’t change until Ferrari change.
52:42 100% yes Lewis going to want to crush George before he leaves Merc
Hamilton came into the sport and went toe to toe with the back to back reigning Champ and didn’t flinch.
He in equal part with Rosberg burnt a friendship for the titles
He will absolutely want to crush George but as you mentioned if it’s not for 25 points then he will maximise team results.
Mercedes as a team has no fans. He called their bluff.
You know this news screams the loudest when you have coworkers that don't even watch F1 come up to you asking for your take on what happened.
Lewis can choose what he wants. Don't begrudge him his transfer to Ferrari one bit. Frankly once the dust settled it was apparent that both Mercedes and Lewis had become too complacent.
He will need his wits about him this year and next year to navigate his past and his future because professionalism has many faces.
And no amount of history will make a difference when it comes down to it. A quagmire is still a quagmire even if the surface is covered in rose petals.
💯
Correct if I am wrong, but I heard they denied Lewis the role of Brand Ambassador after he retires
Correct.
I touch on this in the video
Mercedes are just wasting Lewis time keeping him!! He needs to be in Ferrari now!!!
1:03:30 It’s like building a stock car to race in Nascar but it’s absolutely unbeatable while turning right
The gag is that the Nascar are always turning left
cam lets just skip 2024 can we go straight to 2025? 🤣
Exactly this! 😃😂
Great name btw sir
I think we are all over thinking Lewis' move. Lewis has accomplished all his childhood dreams, but 1, winning a championship with Ferrari. Now as his driving career comes to an end finally the opportunity to fulfil that childhood dream presents itself. Lewis would regret not taking this last chance to fulfil that 1 most desired childhood dream. All things considered, I think this is why Lewis made the leap ...... to fulfil that 1 most desired childhood dream.
I feel like Charles and George are basically the same driver. Fast in one lap, need a little work on race pace.
The difference is Charles is less ruthless and annoying and will probably get on better with Lewis. But Charles is no joke, and that car and team is built around him.
Lightning could strike twice and he's pulled a blinder - or it could be very similar to when Ricciardo joined Mclaren and nothing clicked.
The problem here is that we are all of a sudden forgetting that this is Ferrari. They are a great brand and are improving but they've made a habit of not winning. One can't assume the signing will all of a sudden make all their incompetence which most fans were mocking them for, will just disappear. They still have to build winning habits in order to compete against the champs. Also let's not think that Charles though in my opinion is a bit too easily pushed over, is pretty damn good a driver.
I am most interested to see where British fans end up. They seemed to favor a German company over a British one. Do they stick with Mercedes/George? Do
They go with the British company team or do they go with Italian? Will be interesting to see.
I don't follow teams I follow drivers. With that said, I will be moving with Lewis in 2025 along with millions of his fans 😊 I'm sure there will still be many that will support Merc and George, but they will loose a lot of them.
I think Merc knows that Max might need escape plan in 2026 because of new engine rules and we all know that RB can't match with Ferrari and Merc and everyone else has long contracts and in my eyes GR is also a question mark because i can't see him as a world champion and Merc might support him now but if he doesn't show something soon we might see Max and Kimi in one team what is called Mercedes 2026
I missed your stream, but here for the catchup 🙏
Let's GOOOOOOOOO! Hope you enjoyed
The news hit like crazy, I woke up to a what’s app message from a friend about the news but it was Sky Sports colours but not actual Sky Sports branding so I was doubtful, I immediately googled it and saw all the media speaking about it.
The silliest of silly seasons.
Cam I believe Lewis was showed something Mercedes showed him before he joined Merc like Nikki convinced him, engineers and Burn's return aswell talking with them, I don't believe only money brought him to Ferrari cause remember from 2026 still the cars will be ground effect cars aswell, so during the meetings after convincing him with money still he still believed winning with Merc was possible until he saw the cracks and Ferrari showed him a big project and showed him he'll never say no to because have you seen Lewis not winning and enjoying getting paid, he doesn't want that on he's legacy because seriously this is all it's about now!
It makes sense to have him move asap. Doing.a years notice would be excruciating.
We are all fans of the red car deep down. But the timing of the Newey stuff is totally hopium.
Phenomenal analysis Cameron!!! What a move Lewis! Brilliant!
Midlife crisis... yearning for a fresh start; purposeful self-disruption; identity shift; new milieu; change; novel sights, sounds, flavors, faces; shock of the new; better weather.
Mercedes got complacent because they did not see Ferrari coming. They assumed that Lewis did not have an option and Ferrari took advantage. I feel a bit bad for Toto, I don't think this is what he wanted. This has turned out great for Lewis though.
The Lewis Hamilton moving to Ferrari has moved mountains and continents as its shocked the world of F1 and The numbers of the stock market just shows that Lewis Hamilton is a brand itself
2024 season has already been forgotten 😂😂😂 everyone is waiting for lewis in red
I’m not waiting. I have already switched teams and am now supporting Ferrari for the first time as of yesterday. I was with Lewis at McLaren, followed him to Mercedes and and have decided to precede him to Ferrari in anticipation. I only supported Mercedes because of Lewis
yes me too❤️
just imagine roscoe entering ferrari motor home in british gp😂
You wish. Its all eyes on redbull and maxterclass. Just stop dreaming. 🤣🤌🏼
everybody knows max will win by a large margin like what we have seen for past 2 years most of the f1 fans are not keen to watch that..but most of them will be waiting to watch the team dynamics in merc and ferrari😂 so I don't think anyone care seeing max winning again
I'm also looking forward to how that will work with Lewis/Ferrari/Mercedes. But it's certainly not the most important thing imo. I personally look more at Redbull and Maxterclass. Guess I'm not the only one. 🇳🇱
He doesn’t know me, but I am happy for Lewis Hamilton. Who can change the financial well being of two F1 teams like him? We are making the argument he cannot still race, look at Alonso. Does INEOS stay?
I said it on your other stream, i don't think Lewis left because of performance issues and even if he did, then a move to Ferrari is not an upward step when you consider the recent history Merc has been outperforming Ferrari.
I can understand him looking out for himself but i can also understand Merc's position. This is a business decision and I'm sure they are smart enough & know their numbers. Lewis no matter how great is turning 40, and so Merc wasn't willing to invest so much more to someone they see is at the tail end of his career.
2) Toto hinted to it, they are looking at their future post Lewis which is not so far and when you see Merc competition, they all got young talent under 27years. So they can't justify investing so much in him. I can understand that.
These rich folk aren't rich for no reason, they make difficult decisions and i am sure they had their reasons. f1 is a business and just as Lewis was looking out of his own interest, so were Mercedes. It's a bitter reality but it's fact.
My only concern is the dynamics that Lewis is going to have to deal with at Ferrari. Once this honeymoon period is over, Ferrari culture is unlike any. I mean you have Merc mantra, no blame culture whereas Ferrari is an all blame culture. Then although charlse has his issues, he is pretty quick and a guy who has been in thebshade for that long, is not an easy opponent. I wonder how long before they have to deal with hard times of results? But all this is speculative on my part, we shall wait to see how it all unfolds.
Fair enough. But it’s also a wise business decision to ensure that your greatest asset isn’t abandoned and neglected. Mercedes and Lewis have had a symbiotic relationship.
I can understand their reluctance about giving him a multi-year contract. But why did they deny him the ambassadorial role ? Why did they reject his inputs regarding development ? And why did the garage abandoned him in Australia and Singapore ?
Without Lewis they wouldn’t have been as successful. Lewis was prepared to stay loyal, but they weren’t. I believe they will regret it
@@mrdenson3101 I hear you, and again we don't know the details and the parameters of their considerations, but clearly they didn't feel they could justify it and I ain't mad at it. Cos F1 is a business.
@@amintoodeepI agree with you that it’s a business and they had their reasons. Only time will tell whether it was a good or foolish decision. It also means that they shouldn’t blame Lewis for leaving. He has also made a business decision that favours him.
The guy is a 7 times world champion and the most successful driver in the history of the sport. And regardless of age his performance is still very solid and hasn’t declined yet and doesn’t show signs of declining . Mercedes problems for the last two seasons were with the car and leadership and not with Lewis performance. In fact he carried them last season in spite of the car and Russell’s poor performance. P
It appears that Mercedes played hardball and expected Lewis to just stay and take it. He was loyal to them and stuck by them even when they couldn’t give him a race-winning car for two seasons. They didn’t think Ferrari would respect his value and poach him.
In terms of F1 brand value, Mercedes will loose with Lewis departure because of the intangibles he brought to the team. For Lewis and Ferrari it will be a win-win in terms of brand value
Lol Max does not align with the values and culture of Merc. I'm almost certain that Toto sleeps very well from having nothing to do with him and his dad.😂
Thats re the €450m contract.
I like your content but
How on earth you make an hour video and you don’t add time stamp?? How?!!
That’s insane
The Ferrari quali speed will help Lewis qualify on the front row or 2nd row, His racecraft will see him win a few races and consistent podiums.
100%%%%%% agree with all said here....LH deserves better than what he was being offered by Mercedes! Ferrari see the end game and its gonna be BIG!
I can't wait. It will be huge!
Greatest move for F1 and us SLH fans... He just took control of narrative for 2 years. No one is going to care about RB wins. Fred clearly has shown him the plan and it's so good he left the team He built. This is going to be a great movie ending.
No one is going to care about Redbull. You wish, but will not happen. Its all eyes on redbull and maxterclass. You better stop dreaming.
its just a news cycle..Im gonna care and enjoy RB wins and you're gonna hate it all over again (which makes me happy) what does lewis moving to ferrari have to do with it ? but yea probably lewis did it like this (instead of with a bit of class and respect for mercedes toto, sainz etc) to capture some headlines that his driving no longer captures.
oh, it would be funny though if george totally destroys him this year...Watch the headlines then! casting doubt on the move to ferrari if lewis has an absolutely soulless horror season
It is the last step in a f1 career ending with a good contract af Ferrari Good for LH. And he even may get some better results.
It's possible Lewis and Toto had intimate relationship which fell apart
if you were a led zeppelin song you would be "ramble on"
Cam, you're not wearing your Mercedes hat.... sign of things to come? Some of the comments here are just... silly. Claims that Hamilton built Mercedes - I guess Brawn and Schumi did nothing. Claims that Mercedes treated him poorly - I don't see how anyone can objectively say that. As far as the ambassador role goes, Mercedes is a global brand, not a British brand. Mercedes wants to sell cars across Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Oceania, and Asia. Hamilton is polarizing in F1 and isn't as popular globally as he is in the UK.
i think we probably see much better LH 2024 and 2025 i can imagine that 2021 year where he actually had mad battle with Max and what was taken away, that sucked all his energy out + dogshit Merc car 2022, he was better 2023 but i think even that Ferrari deal gives him much more fire this year and many years after that. We can talk about Max, Leclerc and GR that they are super fast drivers but LH still knows how to drive car very fast, i mean very fast if car works the way it should work.
Please get real....he does not wan't an ambassadorial role he want's an ambassadorial role for 10 year with the salary of a premium F1 driver, I don't think LH could realistically expect Mercedes to pay that, LH over asked.
Something's only worth what someone else will pay.
Ferrari paid it.
He's worth it.
I would love to see Lewis run the number 27 in the Ferrari personally that would be beautiful to witness as a mansell fan
We knew he wasn’t happy, the whole podium disgraceful situation he took that midfield car to P2 and celebrated with McLaren and Ferrari mechanics😒 while his team was mourning over George’s rookie mistakes. Offering 1+1 to the GOAT ? Your actual meal ticket !! The level of disrespect !!!! Forza Ferrari in 2025 ❤
Mercedes was showing Lewis how they valued his decade plus of greatness with their team and he showed them why he bet on himself again. I would not bet against Sir Lewis Hamilton.
we might see zero pods this year 😉 Allison said that idea was good
😂😂 If Merc rock up with another litter tray of a car I’m gonna be pissed lol
Lewis it’s bigger than the Mercedes AMG Team.
But no driver it’s bigger than Scuderia Ferrari. Literally
And that’s a fact.
Cam, I do agree with much of what you have said about Lewis's free choice to move to Ferrari, but with 2 issues. First. Most buyers of a Mercedes have Zero interest or even knowledge of Lewis Hamilton, so the huge salary he would demand as an Ambassador is not sensible for the company. When is enough money enough? Second, if you really reshuffle the best drivers into the best cars, there would be no competition. We really do not know how competitive everyone is when the teams have such disparately fast cars. How good is Nico Hulkenberg if we will never see him in a competitive car? Lewis is extremely dominant in a good car, but the last 2 years have not even been particularly consistent. I do very much appreciate your vids - Thanks!
He challenged Sergio for 2nd in the WDC in a car that was maybe 2nd quickest at 3 or 4 out of 23 race weekends.
The other 19 were split between Aston and then Ferrari and Mclaren
And even towards the end of the season Mclaren and Ferrari were ahead of them on pace.
And let’s not forget the dreadful straightline speed of that Mercedes 😂
A joke of a car
I mean he finished best of the rest in a 3rd or 4th best car with the fastest 2nd driver. I’d say that’s over performing; not inconsistent.
"we are going for 45 minutes, or less I promise...." ok 1h21m 🤥😂
I'm truly happy for Lewis I think Lewis did well on pulling this move, Mercedes is not as good like a few years ago so why not? That's one of his dreams driving for Ferrari, so good luck to him.
I think he will need, luck and patience 😂
He's an unreliable narrator that Cameron fella! 😂
My take on it all of this started from 2021 because Mercedes didn't do anything for him over the fraud and when totto was questioned about info leak he threathned to take the fia to court what did he did for Lewis Nothing. He is been overheating since and the rubbish 2yrs he was fully at boiling point, so he is moving to cool down. My question is if this happ to George if it's the samething that going to happened? Why would anyone want to go to Mercedes if that is there policy or they got paied off to drop if ?
Letz not get mind bobbles, however Mercedes want a white super hero image, only one white driver can replace another super hero
2026 is the first time for a long time both the engine and areo regs have substantially changed at the same time. Merc are gonna have the best P.U. but crap areo cos they just fundamentally dont understand ground effect. Red Bull are gonna have the best aero but have no chance of making a decent engine on the first time of asking without Honda to do it for them. Ferrari will be good, not best but good, at both. Thus, Ferrari are winning 2026. Lewis has pulled off another banger move.
In your wet dreams
The drama.is unfolding . Newey leaves red bull . Joins ferrari . Ferrari become dominat hamilton wins 2 more titles retires at 9 titles with ferrari back on top f1 isnt a sport anymore its a reality tv drama .
I don't know why Cam is so insulted by mercedes not willing to shell out 20 million a year for 10 years for Lewis in a PR role. Maybe he should have asked less...
Money does not grow on trees and car manufacturing market is not stable atm.
"I see it from Toto perspective is what I think I said
@@CamLive. You are right, i did not finish the segment before responding,Cam
Gen Z are the new target audience for brands to pander to and they hate Lewis style of politics. Lewis is done both as a driver and as an influencer. Lewis has a large fan base but by far the loudest and most visable are the toxic and mentally fragile millennials that don’t understand what a good sportsman is. I’m sure this comment will be deleted because it might upset those I mentioned or will be responded to by people who miss the point completely.
Kinda how F1 cheated Lewis and he acted with the most composure and patience I’ve ever seen in my life? Yea so fragile and toxic. We love toxic Lewis. I wish I liked Max since he’s so wholesome and reflective.
Ironically you’ve succeeded in making pretty much the most toxic comment on here. It’s also intrinsically inaccurate. Of course there are Hamilton fans who are toxic on social media. Every driver has fans like that. But to say they comprise the majority of toxic F1 fans? I think you need to take another look at the orange army social media soldiers before you make that statement.
He will probably be at Ferrari for a year or two then retire at Mercedes.
Reading through these comments , it seems we can at least all agree that RUS is annoying. HAM fans 🤝Non-British Fans
Lewis signed with Ferrari because he felt like it. Love all these people guessing why. So stupid
He should have moved 2 years ago
Are you still a Merc fan Cam? Or are you a Lewis fan? I just wonder if you now switch to Ferrari? 😊
Ferrari.
Instantly. 😃
@@CamLive. Haha I would think so. Heard they might put Occon next to George in the Merc until Antonelli is ready. George, Occon, Toto… it will not be the most liked team like that. It will be interesting next season. I predict a lot of seat swaps. Heard that Alex might go back to Red Bull. I am a Max fan but looking forward to the Charles and Lewis fight. 😊
@@larsdijker7208ocon Russel would be a nightmare. Russel will be better and ocon will be dirty sour.
@@jbarber1016 Facts. Personally I hope Fernando goes to Mercedes. Then all the best drivers are in the best cars. 😊 It will also help Mercedes not to lose a lot of mechanics.

Nobody really knows how it's gonna end . However Max Verstappen frenzy and RB hype were obliterated from the horizon.
Nobody saw it coming and for Max , Horner, and Marko must be a hard one to swallow.
They're too quiet. I remember someone saying LH was a brand and Max was the F1 saviour. Well it looks like Lewis is F1 brand himself and Max just a major sponsor.
Because he is a clown. And clowns belong to the circus. Ferrari is a true circus team. We are going to have hilarious moments.
Plus, lulu cannot give valuable feedback and Ferrari does not realize that. Mercedes does, little Georgie took care of that. 😂
Charles is going to destroy Lewis, sorry.
I doubt it very seriously. There is no prior reference. If Charles hasn't smashed anybody else to date I can he destroy the GOAT!!
Um, you didn't see what he did to Seb then? And that was before having several more years experience in the Ferrari. It's going to take Lewis time to get to grips with a new car, engine and team. Charles is already up and running with all of that. If ferrari produce a car that can win a championship, it will be Charles winning it.
He left because they wouldn't pay the big bucks he wanted which left only Ferrari who could afford to meet his price, he knows at his age he's lost his edge so grab the best offer while he can. George Russell should now be Mercedes number one driver while Hamilton swans about in the middle of the grid until he moves to Ferrari. Hamilton used to be a nice guy until he got to big for his boots.
These people that are unfamiliar with Charles game will wake up real quick in 25, lewis isn't in his prime George has made that clear if he was then it's another story.
Lol, sure. Lewis obliterated George last year, Charles can't keep it together over a season, Lewis can. Age doesn't mean anything to Lewis. You guys are insane to think there's a single thing different from lewis in 2021 and now. He's just as good. Mercedes just made a shit car.
