So breaking news before the start of the 2024 season:
Lewis Hamilton appears to be making a move to Ferrari for the 2025 season
A major shock as he signed a two year contract with Mercedes last season. So whether it was one year with an opt out clause for 2025 is anyone's guess.
This seems to be anything but a silly season rumour!
MOTORSPORT: HAMILTON TO FERRARI
SKY NEWS: HAMILTON TO FERRARI FOR 2025
A lot more news happening but I'll post that later. For now, I need to go and have a lie down 😂
NB As Charles Leclerc has just signed a contract extension with Ferrari, it looks as if Lewis would be replacing Carlos Sainz.
It won't be a popular move. Also, not sure how Mercedes will handle that news THIS year as Lewis is driving for them until the end of 2024.
Will they put all their eggs in George Russells basket? (Hamilton came 3rd in the drivers championship last year and Russell came 8th)
Questions Questions!!🤔

We wouldn't have F1 today if not for him, but yes, can't argue with that assessment

One wonders how many more of the Mercedes Team will cross to Ferrari when Hamilton makes his move next year? Bono, Shovlin... 🤔

I'm hoping for a much better F1 season's viewing and exciting
Thought last season was dull, boring and altogether inevitable

Totally agree @jonsie
I just can't bear the smug face of Horner! Not a Max fan either.
Spent most of last season watching the midfield action. Also enjoying Lewis showing the 'great white hope' (his team mate) just who was boss.😂

Funny you should ask that @pgn ...
Loic Serra, who was head of vehicle dynamics for 5 years and has been performance director for 5 years (at Mercedes) is moving to Ferrari to work on their 2025 engine.....
I have wondered about Bono (Pete Bonnington). He has been Lewis's race engineer for 10 years
