    It's a no brainer for Hamilton. He could only really do it now.. If Mercedes happen to have a winning car this year, he still has a chance at a Title and then he has a go with Ferrari. If Mercedes is poor, then he can have a go at Ferrari. And if Ferrari is not great on 2025 he can have a say in the 2026 car and the new regs. If Ferrari doesn't work out, he will have driven for 3 of the best teams ever in Formula 1 and had a long and hugely successful career anyway.

    “Both Lewis and Toto agree” that’s absolutely not the case. Hamilton wanted 3 years and an ambassador role which their counter offer was 1 year deal and no ambassador role. Hamilton wanted to retire as a Mercedes driver, but they didn’t valued him enough and that’s what has been reported .

      There's often quite a bit lost in translation when people are "reporting". To think that Toto would not roll out the red carpet for Hamilton is laughable. These people are competent and Mercedes has been planning for this day (ie Antonelli). There was certainly a mutual understanding of what a short term contract would mean, for both parties.

It’s been reported for years that the Mercedes board didn’t want to pay Lewis what he wanted and it has been reported for over a year that Lewis and Mercedes were not agreeing on a deal because Hamilton wanted an ambassador role. This is not a Reddit rumor, it’s been reported by several people. Also Toto is part of the board, if he wanted he could have given Lewis the three years he wanted, do you think Lewis was keen on the 1 year deals? He said no to Ferrari more than once before accepting. Just do you research.

      Mercedes is a German brand and firstly, they didn’t want their German idol Schumacher’s record to be broken by a black British driver. Secondly, Abu Dhabi was clearly orchestrated by Mercedes and the FIA to gift Maxipad a title and to again block Lewis from surpassing Schumacher. And finally, they didn’t want to offer Lewis an ambassador role when he retires because again, he’s not German and he’s black! I’m glad Lewis is moving away from Mercedes!

    I think Lewis wanted a change of scenery. Even from the outside, it felt like Lewis and Merc had become a stale partnership. And the media covered MB like every GP that wasn’t a win was a disaster. Now, he can go somewhere fresh, a new adventure, no development black hole, etc. He can just enjoy himself whether or not the Ferrari can challenge for a title.

    Regarding the relationship between Charles and Lewis, I think Ferrari may be playing 5D Chess or something. In my opinion, apart from bringing a 7x WDC and one of the greatest to ever do it, they're bringing in a driver with loads and loads of experience, knowledge and, as you said, racing intelligence, and with Lewis being in the twilight of his career, he can (and I think will) pass this experience onto Charles and Ferrari as well. Lewis and Charles get along extremely well, we can see that all the time and I think that's why there won't be the "Hamilton-Rosberg" or even "Vettel-Webber" dynamic.
    And also, even though Lewis wants to win that 8th, I don't think it's the be-all or end-all for him anymore. In my view, Lewis already knows that he's achieved just about everything he could, so If he sees that he's just that tiny bit behind Charles (it can happen, don't you dare say it can't) and knowing Ferrari is essentially Charles' team for the next XY years, I think he would step up as great support for Charles in his charge for his WDC. (God, I hope that last part made sense as I intended it to xD)
    Anyway, I can't wait for next year to come. And this year as well, silly season is gonna be fun.
    PS: Congrats on your first property, good job!

      As a Hamilton fan, I know he can be ruthless when he have the car to win. He gets a long with Russel mostly at Mercedes because the cars are not enough to fight for the title. With a car capable of challenging for the title, Hamilton will ignore team order and go for it. I prefer if they don't have a clear #1&2 and just let them fight.

  • @JustSomeGuyWithNoMaidens
    @JustSomeGuyWithNoMaidens 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +10

    Lewis and Toto didn't agree on that. Lewis and Toto both wanted a long deal for him. The board of directors of Mercedes-Benz are the ones who refused a long contract and refused him an ambassadorial role. Lewis also did not drive the W15 in the simulator and it has been stated that the W15's performance (whether good or not) was not a factor in his decision. The Ferrari chairmen offered Lewis a ridiculously fruitful contract along with an ambassador role and a lot of money to fund his charities and initiatives. Ferrari just seemed to want him more than Mercedes did.

  • @darklimeking372

    I think Toto confirmed that he was more than happy to give Lewis a 3 year deal like he wanted and the ambassadorship but that the rest of the board didnt agree. Toto understands why he left because it was a variation from the status quo of Toto makes the calls with Lewis as the focus. Obv there has been a shift to George but it isnt Totos fault IMO

    I too was stunned that Lewis left Mercedes, sometimes when a company thinks they have the upper hand with their employees, things like this happen, and employees react with their feet.
    I'm waiting to see how this works out with Charles, and with Carlos, pretty sure he's gutted after being the only other driver to give his team a victory, outside of RB last year.
    Seriously doubt Toto would bring back Valteri, I'm thinking Albon, I doubt Toto will ask Alonso will grab his walker and head over to Mercedes, for what, maybe a year.

I could see Albon, Lando, Russell and Yuki all challenging Vestappen for the title in the seasons to come if they get a chance at better cars.

    Hamilton has no shy for challenges. He took it from his day 1 in F1 being paired an all-time great. I believe what Horner said about Anthony Hamilton talked with him about Lewis to drive for RBR was genuine. Ham wants a fast track to get #8. In this case, RBR is the way. That means he wanted to challenge Max not Leclerc. H/e, RBR refused to give him a seat. This Ferrari move is an alternation of it.

    other moves to Ferrari were as big -some would say even bigger news- back then:
    Schumacher coming after 2 WDC and at his prime, and even more: Prost moving to Ferrari at the peak of his rivalry with Senna.
    Of course there were no social media back then. But one thing nevers changes: Ferrari !

    Saying Hamilton and Leclerc could be the strongest teammate paring is a bit of a strech. As you said, we dont know how well Leclerc will do in its future, but i shall remember you that Hamilton and Alonso were teammates

    Two possibilities
    1. Lewis is satisfied with W15 and he thinks he can win in it
    2. He's not satisfied with W15 and wants to try his luck at Ferrari

    You don’t bring SLH in without it being his team or at the very least allowing both drivers to fight. So this may be Lecler’s team but that’ll kick in after Ham departs Ferrari, this is very much the Hamilton show. Don’t be silly if we’re talking numbers if we’re talking Jewlrey Ham has more chips than the field combined. His show his team his call. Freddy has deep ties with Sir Ham you remember that pal

    What happened to W15 then he is building a car he is in factory every day he is in wind tunnel he brings every one together W15 is gonna be 10 sec faster a lap what happens to all those clams then. If he wins his 10 championship in MB is he gonna stay?

  • @ttronan
    @ttronan 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    You gave all the reasons except the most basic one, which is that Hamilton is in his final years and sainz’s contract runs out this year. So this was the best time to fulfill his dream of finally driving for Ferrari. And the timing couldn’t have been better as you have already said before because Ferrari is more closer to Mercedes now and less error prone under vasseur.
    Also do make a video on the Andretti rejection. It’s a matter of shame for f1 and Motorsports.

  • @spikeC30
    @spikeC30 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I don't think you understand what loyalty means. It's easy to stay at a team when you get the fastest car on the grid year after year. Loyalty is sticking with that team when they don't have the fastest car on the grid. If any other driver had made the same move it wouldn't be an issue, it's the fact he preaches about being loyal but drops them when he doesn't get the fastest car.

  • @justinm.1

  • @chrisclarke3880
    @chrisclarke3880 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This has been brewing for a long time. I believe Mercedes thought he had no other option and weren't willing to commit to him anymore. This happens to all great drivers, even Schumacher got pushed out despite all he did for them. Mercedes will fall off similar to Mclaren when Lewis left.

  • @MarcaoPT
    @MarcaoPT 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    IMO, there's no way that Alonso gets the seat.
    He definitely still has it in him but he would be almost 44 by the time the seat is vacated and Toto likes stable line-ups.
    I would guess he is much more inclined to take known-quantity Sainz or promote Antonelli (most likely) to go along with George.

    • @Robalexe
      @Robalexe 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Alonso is a more known quantity than Sainz. And Sainz would not make the line-up any more stable than Alonso would, because both of them would be there for a year or two before Antonelli is ready to step up. Speaking of, I don't think the idea of a driver who hasn't even driven about Formula Regional level yet would be the most likely contender for a top F1 seat next year. That sounds mad, despite how great Antonelli. We haven't even seen him drive an F2 race to know if he adapts quickly and challenges for the title or if he will need two years there due to the big jump of skipping F3. And at least a year for him in the Williams is a logical move too.

  • @Yeetman-lw1dp
    @Yeetman-lw1dp 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    i feel like the comment about his loyalty to Mercedes is kinda flawed because yes he did make a risky move to join Mercedes while the team wasnt looking very promising, but after he did join them they just kept winning of course he wouldn't of left

  • @kdm6287
    @kdm6287 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    This is great news for red bull, since having hamilton is now considered a curse and not a blessing, Mercedes has been ran into the ground. Now ferrari. However this does mean that the competitive scene will be skewered making redpoll the sole tip tier team, followed by Mercedes and then ferrari. MAX MAX MAX!!!

  • @benben3409
    @benben3409 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think (unpopular opinion most likely) that Mick Schumacher will get the 2025 seat. He's already the Mercedes test driver, he did decently in F1 when he was in it (sue me), he's going to drive in the WEC which will certainly improve his consistency, and Wolff waxes lyrical about the guy

  • @driver8703
    @driver8703 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I think Ferrari are committed to Charles but I wouldn’t say it’s team. Ferrari is Ferrari and no one driver bigger than that. It was different with Michael because he brought his old team with him so it really was his team. It is back to being Ferrari having drivers and Charles has not really taken the command of the team, he’s still much too reliant on them.

  • @tammy6015
    @tammy6015 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    It took me awhile to process Lewis going to Ferrari but afterwards I fully believe that they will have the strongest lineup in 2025. There’s been a lot of people saying Lewis is going to beat Charles but some people tend to forget that Charles came into Vettel’s team as 2nd driver and beat him. I think they’ll be on par and Charles will learn a lot having Lewis as a teammate.
    I’m more excited for 2025 than 2024 😂

    • @dianamaioru497
      @dianamaioru497 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I heard you but Vettel is no Hamilton tbf. It's a whole different beast when it come to driving skill. Charles has the home field advantage, however I rate Lewis to adapt pretty quick. 2026 is Hamilton's actual target probably.

  • @thomasgoldschmidt298
    @thomasgoldschmidt298 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I am not sure how it would work: Leclerc like Verstappen or Schumacher likes oversteery cars while Hamilton like Alonso or Sainz or Perez like understeery cars.
    Maybe Ferrari want to hedge their bet if the car turns out one way or the other.

    If Hamilton hadn't taken this chance now, he would have found the doors closed later on with him at the end of his contract and Mercedes dictating all his options. Also were it not for Lewis, Ferrari would have been 2nd in the championship. In football, you would buy that key player rather than have him playing against you.
    The fact of the matter is Ferrari will have seen the contributions made by Hamilton to bring on the car, and they know they'll need that kind of experience and driver feedback, developing the 2026 car. Hamilton will be doing what he did when he joined Mercedes a year before the hybrid rules change.

  • @salim_abid_
    @salim_abid_ 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

    18:12 I don't think you need to worry about who is number 1 and who is number 2 in this driver line up because of the fact that as you said this is Leclercs team, And Hamilton has already achieved so much in his career that it's not like he's going to want to prove themselves, Both drivers have proven they are good enough, Leclerc isn't fighting for his place and neither is Lewis.
    The number 1 and 2 dynamic is only in place when you have 2 young drivers trying to solidify their place in the team, Trying to prove they belong, Safeguarding themselves from the threat of a fresh new prospect taking their place, If you look at the grid right now there is no one really likely to threaten for a Ferrari seat, They have a great academy full of drivers to step up when Lewis retires, They don't need to shop around and there is no one on a trajectory to threaten their seats.
    Sainz was only going to be replaced by a world class driver, All the other great drivers have a solid seat, Lando is at Mclaren alongside Piastri who has proved he is good enough but is also settling into Mclaren and might look for that Ferrari seat when Lewis retires, Verstappen is at Redbull, George is at Mercedes, Fernando is almost a like for like swap (Experienced Champion with plenty of pace/talent but getting towards the end of their career)
    Everyone else on the grid isn't close to the level of Leclerc & Hamilton so their seats are safe.
    Maybe in 3 years time 2027/2028 when you have the likes of Kimi Antonelli, Ollie Bearman and perhaps Victor Martins, Vesti and so on joining the grid then it might be tricky but until then I don't think they need to worry, Lawson is good but if he gets a seat at a top team it will be at Redbull (more than likely)
    Hope you all enjoyed the read!!
