As a person who is just an F1 fan, I just root for interesting.
And this, this, is interesting.

Still nothing on F1.com
If it does turn out to be true, then just work out a deal to make it happen now. No reason for Sainz or Lewis to stay put where they are. Mercedes could take Sainz plus cash. I know it's not that simple, but seems like a waste of the 2024 season for both of them otherwise. Lewis apparently has a deal. Sainz does not and will drive with a chip on his shoulder and something to prove, which could lead to some drama on the track, like not putting the team first.

Not too early because one just needs to look at the facts logically. Ferrari just signed LEC to a long term contract and HAM will be 40 years old so he won't even be the #1 driver in the team. When you think about how HAM would be able to improve the car for 2025, he can't, because he's still with Mercedes so if anything, the car will be suited to LEC. It's pure marketing genius and a golden handshake for Lewis to make his final big money in F1 before his departure.

This feels like Michael Jordan going to the Wizards.
