Even if he doesn’t win another championship, I think he may have had some regret one day of never getting to drive for Ferrari compared to just seeing it out at Mercedes. I have no doubt this played a large part of it.
"It's fine" Toto Wolff said calmly.
"Headphones left the chat".
“No Freddy, no! That’s so not right!”
He lying.
oh c'mon man, not another headphone meme@@pisskriekgaming
I think that exit clause had a 12month notice on it, that’s why he’s pulled the trigger so early.
He took a chance for the last two seasons, and could of gone to elsewhere, third time lucky, maybe but with that clever clause and striking a deal with another team. means he can 100% be focused in winning races first.which will benefit mercedes for 2025 with his input.
If I remember correctly, Toto actually said in an interview that if Lewis wants to leave because they can’t give him a good car, he can leave.
@@phoebesmith8154you’re correct
@@phoebesmith8154 good point, maybe the sim was that bad. Although Antony Davidson said it was an improvement, maybe not enough of one.
@@BigSkyC0untry it wouldn’t take much to be ‘better’ lol. Could still be utter trash 😂 from what I heard as well Lewis is still pretty pissed that they ignored all his suggestions for last years car. I think he was told ‘wait till testing, it’ll be fine’, then he found out none of his suggestions were implemented.
Craig Slater pretending he broke this story 😂
As per usual. He is simply a dinosaur they can't find a reason to fire😂
Exclusive: I broke it by finding an earlier report of it
Loves the attention and the sound of his own voice
Copy paste merchant 😂
These comments are gold!!
Lewis obviously finds Russell as annoying as everyone else 🤔🤣
And russel is the worst team mate ever
Agreed
@@rajamoffin Never heard of Ocon, huh?
He is the WORST@@rajamoffin
If & its a big If, Lewis win's a WDC in a Ferrari he would have won a Championship with three teams, only Fangio has done better with four.
Over a lap he would have his hands full with Charles, though imo his race pace/craft, years of experience would be a big challenge to Charles who could only benefit from having Lewis as a team mate.
He won't
Let’s hope he wins🤞🏼
It immediately makes me think of Prost vs Lauda 1984. Prost was the young hotshot who won 7 races and was almost always on pole, but Lauda was the wise old champion who set his car up for races and finished more consistently, taking the title by 0.5 points.
i think it would be wiser for Lecler to embrace Lewis and learn from him unlike George whos ego and hunger was to big he didn't take time to learn from Lewis which would have improved his race skills
@@pmbuthia4210George, just like every other F1 Driver, thinks he's the best and you have to praise the courage to fight Lewis the way he has. At the same time, he has been open about learning from Lewis, particularly at Williams regarding tyre management. So, it's not like George isn't willing to learn from Lewis it's just that he's hungry to be the best.
What to call a spanish man who lost his car? - Carlos
He must have seen the Sainz
@@MrLinkinparkrulesMic drop!
@@SpaceHCowboy hahaha 😂
Brilliant comment
Gold. CarLoss
Sounds like technical team must have not listend to Hamiltons feedback again with certain philosophies, like before with wrong cockpit position and so on. Mercedes internally is truly on a decline.
Agreed
James Allison single handily destroyed Mercedes and pulling it into the abyss.
@@base12_mathematicsEh? When he was taken from F1 technical director to help Mercedes on other projects is when they declined, under Mark Elliot. Previously, with him as technical director, they won 5 championships in a row...
Imagine how much a #44 SLH Red Ferrari diecast will cost!! Especially if he wins a WDC!!
I really hope this is an inspired move. I’d love to see Hamilton get his 8th. I wonder what they told him about the 2026 rule changes to convince him. I’ve not been a Ferrari fan since Mansell drove for them, so will have to dig out my now vintage Ferrari cap. Can’t wait for the 2024 season to start!
This move is not about Lewis winning his 8th title. Lewis gave up on that dream.
That's why he follows his next dream. Drive for Ferrari
@@OnlineHipHopTV Lewis probably realised going to Ferrari will be he’s only way to get he’s 8th. They have been poaching several engineers from both Merc and Redbull they are brewing up something special
🤣🤣🤣🤣😂
@y0Fusionn No, that's just media hype. Lewis signs Ferrari and suddenly people think Ferrari will win a championship which they haven't done for 15 years. Lewis is simply chasing his last F1 dream before he retires. Driving for Ferrari.
@@OnlineHipHopTV you’re probably not a million miles away but I’ve been following F1 since the 80’s and stranger things have happened. Everyone thought it was career suicide leaving the security of being first driver with an established McLaren team. Look how that turned out.
Toto's headphones are running for there life 🏃🏃
So I'm going to be a ferrari fan 😅
We all are fans of Ferrari and Ferrari is F1 and F1 is Ferrari and F1 is Hamilton and Hamilton is F1
Imagine how it feels for all of the existing British fans who supported Ferrari over Lewis
@@sighfly2928I don't know what they're going to do once Lewis retires. Probably defect to Lando.
Lmao the way the Italian dude says “everybody” love it. So stereotypical but sounds great
If you look at ground effect era only, Ferrari are a far better team than Mercedes, people only think Merc will comeback due to their 2014-2021 era. And frankly, the benefits of winning that 8th with Ferrari is like 100x more enjoyable than winning with Mercedes.
What might be the biggest F1 story of the near future is how George Russell copes with the pressure of his role as team leader.
Hamiltons absence will highlight his value and reveal just how big those shoes really are.
Another Hamilton masterstroke? Time will tell.
If George was this amazing so talented driver then why was he so behind Hamilton last year and took him over 2 years just to score 1 poxy point
Who’s saying George will be team leader. If someone like Max, Lando, Pierre etc went to Mercedes, high chances that they would become no.1 driver.
Seems someone inside F1 leaked this before involved parties were ready, to take heat off poor Andretti decision.
I’m excited for this season to start to see how Mercedes and Ferrari race against each other.
Hamilton vs Leclerc. I think Charles is more or less expected to out perform Lewis at this point. Maybe similar to how Nico was expected to outperform Michael at Mercedes.
Loved watching this. Many thanks! ❤️
You want to know how big lewis Hamilton is.. Every f1 related page, f1 influencer, news papers . Media outlet .. Every other outlet .... Wall to wall lewis!!
Was Lewis waiting to test the W15 on the simulator and make the final decision?
NO.
@base12_mathematics yes I suspect lewis has calculated the current situation and decline of mercedes for some time and the current direction of the W15, ferrari bringing onboard some top technical staff. To say NO is clearly an uncalculated and blinded comment with zero thought.
Bring on Monaco 2024 qualifying. ❤
Why, what's going to happen in Monaco, that won't happen elsewhere ?
@@SpacedOdysseyMonaco is a hard track to overtake on, so generally, whoever wins qualifying is likely to win the grand prix. I’m not sure why the person posted they’re exited for Monaco qualifying under a video about Lewis going to Ferarri though 🤔.
Hammer effect "5billion$"
we really are seeing the beginnings of a massive game of musical chairs as this is not out a driver movement but this is concerning a bunch of the top drivers and top teams…which makes it so tantalising to see unfold and unravel
Unless Sainz just hops over to Merc
AND NOW HORNER IS GONE TOO
Ive always been a f1 fan and always backed English drivers but never have i wanted ferrari to win. Always appreciated them but now will be the first time i want ferrari and Lewis do the biz
Everything from F1 to distract from the Andretti debacle
What would be the point of andretti, we don't need another team were the car will be at the back of the field getting blue flags
Yes there is an F1 illuminati who forced Ferrari and Mercedes to release the Lewis contracts news so it would distract us all from the miscarriage of justice in not allowing a team who is going to borrow most of their parts, from entering the sport.
@@plymouthrock5281 You don't know how good they'll be. Having more teams will also get more drivers in, helping alleviate the clog drivers like Stroll, Latifi cause.
@@plymouthrock5281they'd be better than Haas. Some of the concerns from FOM are valid but even with Renault power unit for 25 they'd probably be more competitive than Haas.
I hope he'll get his 8th in Mercedes this year
9th with ferrari
He might get a win but no chance Hamilton would be leaving a championship winning team. Obviously he's lost faith with Mercedes.
No he hasn't
Doubt it
Considering red bull were .8 of a second faster on race pace last year and word coming out of the RB simulator that they are a second faster, (basically 1.8 seconds ahead) it’s very very unlikely anyone will challenge red bull. Max will win 12+ races and maybe Ferrari and merc will split a couple of wins each
Lewis Hamilton to Ferrari is huge 😊
Curious, why is it huge? He’s at the end of his career, I suspect he wants to tick off his final bullet points on hi F1 bucket list and drive for the most historically iconic team. I’m so confused why everyone is shocked. It’s actually predictable and boring. Lewis has had his day, he’s a miserable and bland person who participates in media less than any other driver. He hasn’t been relevant for a couple of years.
Emergency meeting with staff at Mercedes HQ AFTER the news broke....they were in the dark or at least didn't expect the move to Ferrari
The subtitles are interesting. "Looks like a fat company now!"
The question on my mind is, will bono follow him to Ferrari or will he stay with Mercedes?
Bono will go with him I'm guessing... There's been rumours [from unreliable sources] that Newey will go to Ferrari.... doubt it's true, but that would be hilarious
Mercedes should have spotted the red flag when Lewis asked for the break clause and given some thought to him jumping ship. Ferrari have been chasing him for years too.
I thought that Lewis was in there talking w/ you all because of the thumbnail 😂
Lewis finally returns in the car on which he did his debut year.
Ferrari share prices are crazy! Bank the money, and happy days for the drivers, staff and car. Bet you Mercedes didn't change the cars seating position. Unhappy driver, and unhappy car. Leclerc is going to pull Lewis further in Qualifying (but I see Leclerc out qualifying Lewis in the season) and Lewis is going to pull Leclerc further in race trim (I see Lewis edge Leclerc over the season) and Ferrari will be fast. Lewis will clean up the strageties!
Someone put 50p in the meter!
This is a vote of no confidence in Mercedes, Hamilton clearly has seen the data and satt in the Sim. That car is a dud. He knows that Ferrari must have something at least. I don't think he'll be winning a championship or beating Charles, but at least he can finish his career now as a Ferrari driver with at least the odd race win.
ofcourse they have a new concept but so did mclaren and they gained 1 sec a lap mid season, people predict that mercedes will start slow then gain as they understand the concept
0:01 Really, dude? Multiple credit? Weren't you going for "I can only take so much credit", instead? 'Cause if you saw it 1st at Corriere Della Sera that means they broke the story, not you. You can only claim you helped to spread it.
Sainz going to Mercedes could work well - he would be totally motivated to beat Hamilton and LeClerc.
Imagining the Italian team chef's realizing they'll need to learn to cook without butter and cheese
In Italian cuisine you can find veg receipt so it will not be a problem
For me it says Mercedes still have not a race wining car.
I’m going to laugh when this thing come crashes down and no one wins
Max will defo not be at Ferrari now though 😉
Has anyone checked on Toto’s headset?
I think the team went a different way with the car design and Lewis wasn’t happy. It’s the only thing that makes sense. The car is just being finished and Lewis wants out? They didn’t listen to him with development on something drastic and Fred probably told him that they’ll listen to him
ooooppps okay cool!! hehe. heeey thnaks for correcting me xx
Fabrizio Romano reported it before you 💀
dropping anything soon?
It's CRAZY 😵Lewis Hamilton To Ferrari 😜
Lewis sat in the 2024 merc and thought “Nah this aint it” and went straight to ferrari
It makes sense for Lewis to do this now although it can't have been easy for him. He gets one last shot in Mercedes 2022 regs car before hopping over to try out Ferraris version for 2025. It is very unlikely any of the cars will change in 2025 before the big regulations change in 2026 so why not kill two birds with one stone. It's his best hope to win a Champinship in the next two years.
Every word in english ends with an ¨a¨ to that italian guy 😄
the famous italian "inglese maccheronico"
I'd like to see Carlos in the Audi. They're going to be better than Alfa.
As in the old days the top drivers like senna, mansel, prost, etc will go to the most powerfull team...this new generation like leclerc, noris, etc are so afraid to change the teams and are signing 10 years contracts. M
No room at red bull
@@RegiyThornton as everyone knows at this point RB offered a seat to norris..he is just comfy in his team to switch te the fastest car and try to fight verstappen
We are talking about, the greatest inspirational person in my lifetime, Lewis wanted the ambassador role , more than Mercedes knew, and he shows his class by giving Mercedes 12 months to find a driver to replace him. I think Mercedes dropped the ball, and Lewis ran with it, well done Ferrari !
Had to have been leaked to the Italian press to cover the Andretti story
take your meds
Sir Lewis Slater giving us his view on his best friend again
Mind boggling that Scuderia Ferrari will have:
a. Two 7 Times World Champion in their racing history
b. The fact that the Tifosi wouldnt mind to have Schumacher records broken
Only 9 videos on this in 24hrs, Sky?
breaking news shock hamilton helmet will be with ferrari logo, live 24 7
@@NullPro1x I wouldn't mind 9 videos if any of them actually had an interview with anyone from Merc or Ferrari instead of people who aren't involved asking each other what they think.
@@Ruylopez778As an italian, Vanzini knows more than you think actually
@@shish7755 Not a team member speaking in an official capacity, though.
Hulkenberg to Mercedes please
agree'd
Mazepin back to Haas then
Oh interesting. Hadn't even considered that. It would be fantastic
Ferrari the F1 team where World Champions go to retire with pockets full of money 💰….
Leclerc is where old drivers go to get retired.
Imagine if vettel come back with Mercedes omg more people than ever would be watching f1 and getting into it all that hype there evennif it was a normal season it'd be the best thing f1 had seen in well who knows we all love Sebastian
Time to buy Boso shares
this italian bloke said carlos will have a chance with aston martin, was that a slip that fernando to merc or am i reading to much into it haha
Nah, The Nepo baby has got it in the bag.
Lewis would’ve told Toto
I can see his POV. If mercedes is keeping the same podless concept, there really is no change from 22, 23 concepts. It's time for a change, and at this moment, ferrari is his best option.
Merc already ditched the zero pod.
The vision of the Eagle 🦅 matters. Naturally the Eagle soars above the wind that blows to minimise its vision. It’s not a surprise that the Eagle 🦅 will naturally soar the wind to maximise its vision to win the prize.
To be remembered as the greatest, you have to drive for Ferrari and win. Well done Lewis.
He already is the greatest, furthermore, Senna never drove for Ferrari and it hasn't hurt his legacy.
Anyone else feel for Charles when watching this? 😅
you know what, i think charles is thinking..”yeah let’s go!!” he’s a very confident young man and he knows how to be competitive and he knows how to race with the best…i feel sorry for carlos as he’s has been pushed aside, rather like how they did to seb when they employed carlos
@@karimkekhia4369 what I meant is the way they talk about Lewis in reference to Ferrari. That’s gotta suck for their current no 1 driver. I don’t mean in regards to Lewis joining the team.
In my opinion Charles is the fastest man in F1 and he is mature and intelligent enough to learn from and respect what Lewis will bring to the team. Together, this team will dethrone Max and RB. I bet Lewis is in red before the end of ‘24.
Nah, he retired King Seb. He'll retire Hamilton too.
Vanzini speaking English sounds like my grandma pronouncing medicine's names! 🤦♂️
I hope they do better now, whenever I look at ferrari for the last two seasons its never the driverrs fault that they are not winning
Not sure if I want to see Schumacher’s record broken, but if it’s anyone, Lewis is the best person in F1.
The swap now might be the best deal for everyone Mercedes won't want to waste a season with a driver not wanting to develop a car a 100 %.
Hulkenberg or Albon should be top of Mercedes list.
Lewis Hamilton is still on top of Mercedes list even though he's gone
By breaking the news first, Craig Slater has become a news legend of sorts !
What is next, Verstappen to Mercedes ?
Why does this man have a job?
Lewis has too many jobs in and outside of F1 and is just too popular amongst followers and he's been too famous for F1 that it he has been the problem too good and too quick too strong that's Hamilton
Monza 2025 is going to be epic! 🤩 Congratulations and welcome to Maranello, Lewis! 👏❤🏎💪 ❤❤💪🏽💪🏽 💚🤍❤ Forza Ferrari! 💚🤍❤
The thing is, will Lewis be given the car to challenge knowing he's going will Lewis be second driver to George this year
Nope. Lewis will want to prove a point.... again. Will George cope mentally?
It would be Hammer Time if it was the right car
I personally don't but it.
It’s been confirmed…
“There’s nothing wrong with these, they’re Italian. “
“Eeeeehhhhhh where a my a flippas”
Wouldn’t it be hilarious if merc started to win when he left😂😂😂
We have to wait and see. Nobody knows how good or bad Lewis will be at Ferrari. But my hopes are not high. I think it's formost a financial deal. It boosts sponsorship and mercandise to sky high levels. But will it boost results? Two clearly nr.1 drivers who both lost a season to their "nr.2". Will Ferrair beat the Max/RB combination, i don't think so. The balans within Ferrari will be gone. Drive 2 Survive will be fun though and will sell. The same would apply to Alonse going to Merc. But the really great news would be: what if Verstappen would break with RB (not a serious thought), but he would make a team like Merc or Ferrari World (Driver) Champion within a single season for sure.
For Ferrari it's a win whatever happens, they've still got Leclerc and have banked the publicity. For Hamilton it's part boyhood dream, part pragmatic.... and a ten mill pay cut... if the rumours are true.
Already he's made an great Impression to the Ferrari Stock prices
If he thinks he's going to win another world title at Ferrari he's dreaming. Just ask Alonso or Vettel that question.
Don't see how they go the whole year knowing Lewis is leaving. Makes zero sense. Straight swap for Sainz right now makes way more sense.
Ferrari all the way, the true legend of F1
You guys acting smug, because the italian journalist talked more, but you kept asking him a question. So dont be smug about it
Craig Slatter just recycles what we already know. Has he ever said anything original? I assume he was a football guy before this?
Isn't that 99% of all news anyway
The Hamilton cult moves from Mercedes to Ferrari. All of a sudden - Mercedes look like a much nicer team !😊
agreed hahah
Hamilton is bigger than F1 and any team if you just look at the stock market crash
@@MENQN Down Roscoe. Its ok.
@@CurvaGrande And Coco 😊
He has abandoned a sinking sinking ship peroed. Every team is years off red bull. The only thing that brings the other teams back into contention are rule changes. That's what f1 does when 1 team dominants for too long.
Still don't know why he's going to Team Keystone Cops.
Lewis was only offered a one year + one year contract by Mercedes, at the same time LeClerc and Norris were being offered much longer contracts by their teams. Ferrari’s offer is clearly much more appealing to Lewis and reflects the belief Ferrari has in Lewis.
They offered him 100 millions per season. That's enough to convince someone that didn't win in almost 3 years and it's approaching pension time
I would bet my house on Lewis being able to speak Italian in his first official Ferrari interview. He will won’t everyone to understand how much he respects the team.
I’ll take that bet. What level of Italian we talking here?
@@phoebesmith8154 better than Seb I predict
@@bry3500 i actually don’t know how much Italian Seb can speak 😅
@@phoebesmith8154 not much to be honest, just a few words and sentences
@@phoebesmith8154 I bet he can speak enough to impress
Lewis can kiss any championship chance bye-bye with such a move. Mercedes with a problematic car beat Ferrari and Aston to second place despite having better cars. Ferrari has lost so many races due to bad strategy that it is a habit now. Realistically the only team that can catch Red Bull is Mercedes and not to forget how it went with Alonso and Vettel at Ferrari.
Short sightedness is what the doctor diagnosed
Yes Mercedes did beat Ferrari and Aston for second with Lewis driving up those points. You made the point for everyone why moving to Ferrari is a good strategy.
But Hamilton is the GOAT and if anyone can pull off a move like joining Ferrari as the record breaking highest paid driver it's this same guy Lewis who owns a bull dog guy
Unbelievable
Everyone is a Hamilton fan. Even Ferrari
Just watch 2007 and think who has ever made a splash quite like Hamilton or should I say tsunami
George 1 Charles 0
Just swap them now…going to be a long season now..
C"mon, do not compare Hamilton like Ronaldo. Hamilton was World Champion, 7 times. The other was never a world champion
