FORMULA 1 2024

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!!🤔

Q3

Final 10. The race for pole. 1 Mercedes did well and got pole.

The other Mercedes of Lewis finished 10th. He had 2 hot laps. One he made a mistake and his 2nd he lost due to track limits. He starts 10th!!

LAS VEGAS The Grid for tomorrow at 06.00 am GMT

As a LH supporter, I'm gutted. Topping nearly every session since Friday and then messed up his final run.

Hate saying it but he has no one to blame but himself.

RACE LAS VEGAS.

What a race. Max Verstappen although he didn't win, became a 4 x WDC.

Best cars on the grid today were the Mercedes. No crashes, 2 DNF's. Lewis went from 10th to 2nd, he held the fastest lap for most of the race. No team orders, George and Lewis were free to race. Lewis closed a gap of 23 seconds to 3 seconds to George.

However his tyres were 6 laps older so he knew an overtake was too risky. He pulled back knowing 2nd was safe. He did win Driver Of The Day voted for by the fans.

RESULTS.
