I think Stroll does just enough to stick around, making him the extra annoying boss's son. Don't consider that AM seat open.

"Daddy's cash" as my son calls him haha.

Just posted on CorvetteForum:

What's about to become breaking news: New Way
the UK magazine BusinessF1, whose news is generally reliable and often exclusive, reveals the deal: Newey is said to have signed his contract in London at the end of April, when Vasseur stopped off in London on his way to Miami, to tie himself to the Scuderia from 2025 to 2027 in exchange for a salary of 35 million dollars a year, or over 100 million euros in total! This is unprecedented for an engineer, and even for the best drivers on the grid, but it's true that Newey's track record speaks for itself.

If the news is true, Féfé will have reconstituted a dream team: Vasseur, assisted next year by Jérôme D'Ambrosio, technical director Enrico Cardile and new performance manager Loïc Serra (ex-Merco), Leclerc and Hamilton!”

’Our’ French source calls Newey, ‘New Way’ at times! 😎

Thanks for all the insider info. I guess the Corvette guys can use Google

Buy your Ferraris now. I see them cranking up the prices to pay for all this extravagance.

He better turn it around quick though because the other teams are scoring more points, and there is less margin for error. If Ferrari didn’t have a disaster weekend, they might be leading the WCC.
I really like Perez but I was surprised they renewed his contract with how things have been going and how terrible he's been qualifying most of the season.

With his new contract, Lewis will be able to afford unripped jeans some day j/k... He's looking good and sytlish. Probably in LA based on the plate.

Lewis eats (vegan) hot wings and talks about his wardrobe choices:

I've had vegan wings before, you cannot tell by looking at them from the outside. He's not the first person to have vegan wings on this channel.

I only mentioned it since I figured the regular Hamilton detractors would jump at the chance to further make fun of him for being a vegan since 2017.

Frankly I think this is the best interview I've ever seen from him.

Aside from being a petulant, spoiled F1 driver, which they all are from time to time, I can't recall a time when Lewis struck me as not a good dude. Only the opposite, fan interactions, any interviews with personality involved, care for his brother, seems a genuinely decent person.

This interview has just reinforced why I’ve been a fan since he entered F1 many years ago; he just honestly seems such a genuinely decent human being. Why so many find him so ‘toxic’ is beyond comprehension.
