BBC Sport has since verified the fact that it is a serious possibility." It's rumored to be an option. He has a contract with Mercedes for 2024 and 2025, but can walk away after 2024. So in a way Hamilton could decide whether Sainz keeps his Ferrari seat or becomes a Ferrari reserve driver or leaves Ferrari. But if Hamilton leaves for Ferrari who will get his Mercedes seat ? Sainz ? Leclerc would be the best option, but he has extended his Ferrari contract. Norris ? Ah, let 'the rumor mill' go in overdrive...

All they need to do now is flush the current F1 commentators into the marina, and BRING BACK David Hobbs and Steve Machett.

The stock market evidently sees it for real...Ferrari stock has climbed 9.88% this morning.

Damn, my immediate reaction was why would they want his old ass stirring things up with Charles?
Then a minute later…why not? They really have nothing to lose by trying to make a big splash. Keeping the status quo with Sainz was clearly not going to bring either the Driver’s or Constructor’s championship so might as well go for broke and there really wasn’t any other top tier driver available they could have gone after. It would make an amazing story if he were to surpass Schumacher while in a Ferrari. |

Mick to Williams (although I don't like a Mick/Logan pairing at Williams, so maybe not). Who goes at Sauber? Does Bottas retire and live out of a camper riding bikes, or maybe he moves over to Williams to replace Albon? Who else does Audi want on their team, does Zhou stick around, or maybe that's where Checo lands when RB puts Lawson in a RB... Although Checo/Sainz sounds like fire/gasoline... not sure I'd want that pairing. Fun thinking about the musical chairs. |
