A COMMERCIAL W FOR FERRARI? Opinions on Lewis Hamilton's Ferrari Move

Рет қаралды 42,338

Күн бұрын

It's fake. This rumour happens all the ti... Oh it IS real!
Lewis and Mercedes are an unbreakable brand. One club man they'd call him in football but Lewis has obviously had enough and wants to see out his career at Ferrari. Nothing to prove and maybe get something set up for future success, or at least mentor Leclerc so he has that killer edge.
But there's also the commercial aspect to this too. Ferrari's stock is increasing because of this and everyone is talking about it. And with Hamilton fans likely needing to get their Ferrari LH44 merch in 12 months time- They're laughing all the way to the bank!

There's one stat that I found genuinely mind blowing. In the unlikely event that Lewis not only wins races with Ferrari, but he actually takes another championship, he'd be the first person to win a championship with three different teams since _Fangio_ (who actually won with four different teams). Since the 1950s, no driver has won F1 championships with more than two teams.

Heard a rumour that Lewis will be getting 100 million dollars per year compared to Max at 70. Regardless, as a fairly neutral fan (all hail Nando and Lando!) having watched religously since 2005 I applaud Lewis for making the move. That being said it doesn't really bode well for Mercedes this year, the W15 hasn't even turned a wheel and Lewis is already trying to jump ship. Also I think McLaren are the team to watch over the next two years..... but alas I'm only an idiot on the internet and really am not a serious expert!!!!

@Bahamuttiamat 3 ай бұрын

The move had little to do with perceived performance but contract duration. I believe lewis sensed a growing discontent across mercedes as they pondered their future. Giving someone as successful and driven as him 1+1 contract, doesn't scream confidence. Mercedes lost sight of the present for the future so lewis made the best move for him.

It is a win/win situation for Lewis. If coming year he is beaten by Russell he can use as an excuse that Russell was prioritized as he is leaving. If he is beaten by Charles in 2025 he can blame it on the fact that he is new to the team. If the car is not giving him a championship he can blame it on the fact that one needs time to develop the car. If the Ferrari is not getting the new engine rules right he can also have a good excuse. Any failure is covered. He earns a big pile of money, so he has made a brilliant decision. I cannot blame him.

This has been in the serious discussion stage for a lot, lot longer than anyone is making out on the Ferrari side. Yes Merc and Toto only heard about it the day before, however there was a break clause written into Lewis's contract so they knew it COULD happen. One could argue that Mercedes LET this happen. The dither and delay about Carlos's contract should have signified that something was in the works but it's so much easier to put the pieces of the puzzle together once you know where the pieces go.

Spot on. Considering the MV/RB dominance, unlikely to go away, at least until Ford arrives, we pretty much know this will be a repeat of the Alonso, and Vettel Ferrari arventures, regardless, if Hamilton does a few seasons as they did, winning races here and there, and maybe rehearsing a championship challenge, all of us will profit. And as far as M-B goes, it is the ululating obviousness, Sains is the only available alternative, and not at all a bad one. One thing we can be absolutely sure of, is the fact Ferrari will not, under any circumstances, paint their cars black as Mercedes did.

@CyanRooper 3 ай бұрын

"I see a red car and I want it painted black." "No Lewis, you will not have the respray." I also have a conspiracy theory that Red Bull is planning on entering the Hypercar class at Le Mans with the upcoming RB17 road car designed by Newey as a way to keep Verstappen on the team. I think they're worried about their golden boy getting bored and leaving so they're gonna let him race in the World Endurance Championship alongside F1 as a way to keep him in F1 (and it would be the first time in DECADES that we'll have a driver competing a full season simultaneously in endurance racing and F1). I know it sounds like a stretch but let's face it: Verstappen is a once in a generation talent; a statistical anomaly (in the best way possible) and Red Bull wants to absolutely milk that man dry (that sounded wrong but you get the idea).

2025 will be an intersting year, I believe that one of his reasons to switching to Ferrari is that no one has won a world championship in 3 different teams and if Lewis can do it in a Ferrari i'd say he'd become one of the most succesful drivers overall. He clearly see something with Ferrari that Mercedes doesn't have. Luckily 2024 is going to change Max's dominance even though he might win the title it'll become harder for him.

Alonso is available in 2025 and it would likely be his last contract in F1 before he has another crack at the Indy 500, which would give Mercedes enough time for Antonelli to be suitable to replace Fernando when he retires. Sainz was spending too long using the possibility of going to Audi to haggle over his new contract with Ferrari. If he was 100% up for staying at Maranello then he would have signed by now. Hamilton jumped at the chance as soon as he became aware that Sainz was stalling (pun intended).

As an American, I could definitely see Hamilton coming to the US to finish out his racing career once his contract with Ferrari ends given the business connections he has over here (heck he is a minority owner of the Denver Broncos of the NFL). If Hamilton were to end his career in the US, it would likely be in NASCAR instead of Indycar mainly because Indycar is facing a very uncertain future especially since Honda is threatening to destabilize the entire series by pulling out after 2026 if Indycar can't find a way to reduce operating costs. Lewis in NASCAR would be a massive jolt in terms of making NASCAR a series that is respected overseas because there are still some who think that NASCAR currently is what was portrayed in the Talladega Nights movie. I think Lewis would want to end his career in NASCAR to do something no other driver has ever done & that is be the first driver to win titles in both NASCAR & F1. Lastly there are a few teams in NASCAR (like Hendrick, Penske even 23XI with Michael Jordan's money) that could afford to pay his salary.

@@dorientjewoller113 but one of the drivers to accomplish the feat was Niki Lauda, who Hamilton respected and was instrumental in getting Hamilton to join Mercedes. The thought of winning WCs for both McLaren and Ferrari like Lauda did must have been tempting.

To OP. One of the main reason three time champion Nelson Piquet never signed for Ferrari. Say what you will about him personally but he wasn't stupid. After winning his 2nd title for Brabham Piquet was apparently approached by Ferrari for a future drive but declined the offer on the basis that he preferred the news headline "Piquet wins the X Grand Prix" which he would get with any other team rather than "Ferrari wins the X Grand Prix.... (with Piquet)". In the case with Lewis (and had Senna finished the career with Ferrari) it ironically works the other way around. Immortal driver elevates the name of Ferrari. Fangio was an immortal legend before he drove for Ferrari. Prost was smart too. 3 titles with McLaren and the (then) most successful driver in F1 history in overall wins. His 2 seasons at Ferrari didn't sullen his worth as a driver. Not even a sabbatical in his late 30's did.

Ferrari is like a huge movie franchise; whatever the Disney makes from ticket sales for MCU movies, they make many times that in merchandise. Whatever Ferrari spends on Lewis’s contract, merch sales alone will cover it many times over. I’m sure sales have increased already, even without being able to sell any official LH44 stuff yet. For drivers, Ferrari is also like being cast in a big Hollywood franchise; for the rest of your life you’ve always got that extra fan base and business opportunities you didn’t have before.

So who you think will replace Hamilton at Mercedes I'm thinking Mick Schumacher but also like it to be Lando Norris as well

@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303 3 ай бұрын

Norris is impossible, massive contract. I find Mick to be unlikely unless every other option is exhausted. Sainz and Albon would probably be the top candidates

@@camillaquelladegliaggettiv4303 Norris is 100% possible for 2 reasons; 1) contracts can always be bought out and 2) McLaren could be bought for 3 years' worth of free engines & gearboxes, etc... Would save them multiple millions in outgoing costs.

I think this will be good for both of them. It’ll let MB try to build back up without the insane spotlight where every weekend failing to win is a disaster and Lewis/Toto are trashing the car. As, for Hamilton, a change of scenery is always a good thing at a time like this and especially to such a different culture. He won’t be expected to win a title with what Ferrari has got now, but if they do pull off and a miracle and he wins his 8th title with Ferrari it’ll be a straight movie script. I also think Hamilton will be a better teammate for Leclerc. Sainz was on a sneaky mission to undermine Charles who is way too passive. I think they’ll get along really well, but hopefully they’ll end up being bitter rivals. I don’t really think Hamilton is going to be mentoring Charles in any way though.

This was really one of those “you had to be there” moments in F1, just like Abu Dhabi 2021 in recent memory.

Once phase for me; “Roll of the dice” The fiasco of the 2021 closer still stings the man, clearly he could have been out on his own with world titles and yet he isn’t. There is a chance, however slim, of finishing off in some style with one more title. At the same time he would become a hero for the very fans who last decade were holding derogatory pictures of him at Monza. If it doesn’t work out, well he is in good company with drivers who couldn’t make it happen in the red car.

I think that a central point in Hamilton's change is being overlooked or ignored. 2035 will see the big exit of manufacturers from internal combustion engines. How many manufacturers will drop out in the course of this, because a large part of the main business will be lost. Who knows what will happen to Mercedes and F1. In how many other motorsport sections is Mercedes still representing itself? GT3? Where it was/is questionable for a long time whether the old model will still be upgraded or whether a new model will come at all? I think Hamiltion is just trying to secure his position with a team that will definitely not leave F1. Because F1 and Ferrari go hand in hand, or F1= Ferrari.

Hard to say yet what will happen. Personally I don’t think the switch will happen in 2035. Not without a lot of upgrades to the existing power grid to allow more interconnection and more capacity. As well as lower level systems like charging stations. Which ideally will be on the same level of ease and availability of use as a normal parking place.

Vassuer just locked in his position for the forseeable future, i promise the only reason Hamilton even believed anything ferrari had to say was because it was Fred saying it. There is no way Ferrari can reasonably get rid of him after pulling this off.
