It's a massive gamble. Mercedes should be on par with Ferrari with 2025 and its not clear if Ferrari actually have got a clue what they're doing.
I reckon Sainz will take a year off then go to Sauber, which will become Audi in 2026.
Mercedes should go for an experienced head. | | | |

Biggest move in the sport since he left McLaren all those years ago. I think he's always said how he always wanted to drive for Ferrari, so probably saw this as his last chance
to do so.
Very interested to see who Mercedes replace him with, Lando has just signed a new deal at McLaren but he must surely be the favourite. |  | | |

Agreed! Ferrari have been a bit of a mess for a number of years now. Maybe this is just what they needed. | | | |

Yes, he will be 40 by the time this comes round. Agree its likely his last chance and has nothing to lose.
I can't see any other driver other than Lando if Merc want a statement replacement. Will come at a significant cost, but probably worth it. They could possibly look at Piastri. | | | |

Yeah a 40 year old ageing driver who hasnt won a championship for 4 years should be just the ticket. [Post edited 1 Feb 11:18]

He is still up there with the best on the grid! Regardless of the car.
I was aiming more at his experience and what he can bring to the team in knowledge and strategy, not just driving ability. | | | |

The only other alternative option I can see Mercedes going with is someone like Ocon, as I think Toto is his manager.
But I think that depends on whether they see Russell as a team leader yet. [Post edited 1 Feb 11:31]

Indeed, little to lose as if Lewis is going to be in a car that is unlikely to win races, he might as well get paid humongous amounts of money to drive it. |  |

It's about time they automated the cars as the drivers don't really offer anything. They could still stick little heads on the cars to make you think they're doing something. |  |

Everyone knows he won the 2021 WC despite what the FIA manufactured.
And no, I’m not still bitter about it.. | | | |

Couldn't he have waited until tomorrow? Irritating, watching the deadline day coverage, and having this take over every ten minutes.

Final big pay day to poodle around in the red ferrari and occasionally finishing in the top 3 of an F1 race. |  | | |

It helpfully buries the bad news that F1 delivered to Andretti yesterday, which would likely have been THE story till the first race.
If Lewis was that keen to join Ferrari, why not sign for 2024 ? his deal with Merc was at an end, instead he signed for 2 years, or a 1 year with break clauses with Merc after months of wrangling, for what reason ? Plus it screws both Merc & Ferraris 2024 seasons. He said he wanted to become an ambassador for Merc when he retired.
Even if it is true and the longer there's no official denials the more likely its so, 2025 last year of these current regs, 2026 they're building new cars and new engines, everyone in 2025 should have got to grips with their Red Bull clones then. He isn't likely to win a championship at a new team in season 1, it will take 2-3 seasons to get there assuming Ferrari don't muck it up as they've done consistently since the Schumacher era, and LeClerc who is I believe a stronger quicker driver than George Russell.
It's not a move that makes sense for any of the parties involved. | | | |

He had to drive for Ferrari before he retired, with benefit of hindsight l bet he wished he had joined in 2022. Hope he hasn't lost too much one lap speed, he should enjoy a season or two there and outside chance of winning a 'ninth' title. l'm sure MV will also look to drive for Ferrari at some point in the future. l wonder if the move by Hamilton to Ferrari in 2025 will actually be brought forward at some point during the latter stages of this 2024 season? | | | |
