If Ferrari has a competitive car in 2025 we'll never hear the end of this.

But will they have competitive strategists...

Icy will be in heaven…

Wow, it is finally happening, always knew Lewis would drive for Ferrari one day.
Nice move this is going to shake things up a bit

 

[W@P]

He is in the last stretch of his career. Why retire at MB when you can still pump out a few years at Ferrari?
Making history and shaking up the scene. As well as getting a ton of money for it. No brainer.

Loyalty only gets you so far. I would like to see Ferarri competing for wins again. The last season with RB's dominance got a bit boring.

Imagine a season where at every race it could be either a Ferrari or a RB or a Mclaren on the top step.

I think we know that a powertrain means nothing on its own. A constructor is a constructor.

Funding is funding.

 

[lkpat]

Either would be mad to accept that seat.

It's where you go to kill your career for failing to adapt to Max’ car...

FTFY

Merc were shareholders?

 

[lkpat]

Which tier 1 driver are they going to get to do that? None of them would be fine with playing second fiddle to Max. Only option is possibly someone who's on their way out anyway, like Alonso...

Even Alonso would be told not to step on Max toes

 

[UB40]

Going to be interesting to see how Charles and Lewis perform on the track this year when there is overtaking each other. Who cuts who off and who causes crashes?

 

[lkpat]

Merc were shareholders?

Yes? 40% at one point. They wanted to buy the team outright.

 

[dotdan]

Lewis sat in that Merc and he was like nope, I am out.

They've been quite respectful of each other thus far.

I can actually see Vettel returning tbh. German driver, lots of experience. Indicated that he still wants to race. Could be a good teacher to young Russel.

Alonso could also be an option as well as Albon.

But Merc could do the rebuilding thing and put a Schumacher in there with Russel for 2025.

My view is Merc’s driver will solely rest on how Kimi performs in F2 this year. If he dominates he’ll probably get an F1 seat - if he struggles probably will spend another year in F2 and Merc will seek a short term fill which could be old school or Mick. I’m also not convinced that Russell is a lock at Merc for 2026 onwards. Regardless, Merc has hemorrhaged much of their engineering talent in the last few years so Toto has got more than just drivers to worry about.
