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

And this, this, is interesting.

It's a bit early to pre-determine that, no!? HAM can wheel a little bit, you never know.

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.

RACE has increased nearly 10% since the news broke.

You must have forgotten you are on RL. HAM can’t even drive, he is only good at wearing weird clothes. That is most of the posts during the season.

This feels like Michael Jordan going to the Wizards.

Jordan retired and came back to the NBA/Wizards. Hamilton never retired, is still driving and driving for the 2nd best team on the grid, and going to a team that steps on their dicks every chance they get.

You think Haas adds a lot of value? How? More than an Andretti/GM partnership?
