Hamilton to Ferrari confirmed

DING DING DING !!

We have a winner

 

Ferrari has not confirmed officially anything yet! What was confirmed that Lewis leaving Mercedes. Ferrari did not release any official news on this!

 

That doesn't matter...according to all the "experts" on FC, LH can't develop a car so he was likely never in these "engineering discussions" anyway.

 

I am sick to my stomach….

Not sure where you get your info Attila, but most rev splits show somewhere in the 40-50% range ($1.5-$2B from branded merch of $4-$5B revenue)

 

Facts :
They won last year Le Mans after 50 years of absence ( top category)
They won 24 hours of Nurburgring with the 296 gt3
They just won Daytona with the 296 gt3.
Sainz was the only not Red Bull driver winning a race last year.
7 poles for the Scuderia.
Not bad for a brand which has lost interest in sport.
Don’t underestimate Elkan even he isn’t a car guy.
Ferrari is a Italian national pride and a very profitable one.
Good news is that they are really decided to succeed in Formula One again.

 

I hell as hope you guys are wrong, but part of me is afraid to say you’re right.

and I don’t want to be the Dallas Cowboys of racing.

 

not evolving it’s already evolved.. Ferrari stock price is valued as a luxury brand not a car company, been that way for 5 yrs now, the good old days of Ferrari as a car company were Luca days, feels like a lifetime ago..different playing field now unfortunately..

 

I mean, Ham did get best of the rest last year.... just sayen'

 

Leclerc already basically ended Vettel's career, now he gets to end Hamilton's too, how befitting

 

Up over 12% just now.. I'm making money today!!

 

when is hamiltons last race w Merc?
did Hami get married? saw something on internet.

 

As somebody that never understood the hate, I too am enjoying this.

EXACTLY

both (I hope?)

 

This is painful as a Ferrari fan and not a fan of Lewis. I do not look forward to the woke Hamilton brings to Ferrari.

The good news is Hamilton doesn't make moves that doesn't benefit his career. So he must know something we all don't.

Leclerc vs Hamilton will be absolutely fascinating. I truly believe Leclerc is the faster driver, but Leclerc is proving to lack results in the races. Bad luck or not, he doesn't translate poles into wins or even put together consistent points. Hamilton on the other hand is still very very good at getting results.

Rumor says Hamilton didn't inform Toto until yesterday.... I guess Lewis' F1 daddy has found out what a snake in the grass Lewis is.

 

I've talked to many people who disliked his personality and politics. I get it. I don't like Michael Jordan either; I'm positive he would mistreat me if, in some wild scenario, I had the opportunity to be his friend.

Both these aside, would I have not supported MJ back in the 90s to be on my team? (nope)

I am curious, though, and consider this an open question to all.

Are there other reasons for the dislike besides Ham not being a nice guy (I believe it) and politics you disagree with? We don't need to get into P&R, so if that's it, let's leave it at that.

 

Only downside with Sir Lewis Hamilton is when he says his tires are done, now they will actually be done.

 

It is amazing that people would be filled with so much hatred and spitefulness towards, on paper, the most decorated driver of all team joining their team.

 

He's been complaining about the car since 2022. How many more seasons should he wait?

i'll go ...

Hamilton represents two things i hate:
1. ENTITLEMENT. We see it in his driving; how many times does Hamilton take a corner, with no regard for another driver alongside or even ahead? It's not just annoying, it's downright dangerous.
2. WOKE. I've seen too many rulings by stewards, over the years, showing favoritism towards Hamilton. YES, above & beyond the statistics for other drivers.

No need to give examples or any more details ... they've been provided countless times in other threads. A question was asked, I gave a good answer

 

That's where I always lose the plot. Is Ham going to force them to use special fuels? Give the car proper pronouns. Wear a dress firesuit on track?

I get and respect your right to vehemently hate his politics; in fact, I encourage it (in the P&R forum.)

Beyond your not liking his political beliefs and personality (fair dinkum), honest question, is there a racing reason for your disdain?

 

Can we give the melodrama a rest?

 

Merchandise, merchandise merchandise. More is more.

Why do you ask him to give it a rest? He didn't start it, he's reacting to it.

 

Wonder how many sets of headphones Toto has gone through today if the news is true?
