100%, move is on a platter for both drivers & teams.

Why would Hamilton do it? Can't lose. Merc lacks promise, my man Georgie is a legit impediment to WDC even if they do turn things around.

For HAM to win his 8th with Ferrari would be all-time stuff. If it doesn't happen, what can you do... Ferrari.

Why would Ferrari want Hamilton? Marketing combination off the charts, Merc is too bland for HAM.

Honda will stay in F1 and be an engine P/U supplier to Aston Martin starting in 2026.

And I thought Alonso was banned for life for making those Honda comments a few years ago.

I don't know. Might be a smart move. Much easier to blame everybody else for his performance issues.

Monaco GP coming up this weekend and the first of 3 venues where Red Bull can be beat, the other 2 being Hungaroring and Singapore. Mercedes have finally ditched their ZERO sidepod design and gone conventional starting in Monaco. Let's see what happens.

First images of the Merc do look more "normal" but a lot of people are saying their changes to the front suspension are more drastic than the sidepods so who knows? Still bet George will be faster than his team mate.

Other question- will Charles keep it off the wall???

As a Ferrari fan I'm afraid Char has earned that reputation until he proves otherwise.

Fred has always been a straight shooter in F1. This goes back to my theory that the rumor was floated by the Hamilton camp to create leverage against Mercedes in contract negotiations.

Default Christian and RB a little shaken, now?

Exactly, no way HAM goes to Ferrari, Fred put an end to that nonsense.

2nd Practice today: Verstappen back on top, but Ferrari looking to be next in line, ALO still up there. Chance of rain Sunday!
