Why did Lewis Hamilton walk out of interview? czcams.com/video/NehT2OxbOjI/video.html
The scuderia is stable? I see what you did there!
I think Stroll will have a massive pile up at the start of one of the races this year, making him, Hamilton, Vestappen, Norris, Albion, and Hulkenburg all paraplegic’s….which will end all there careers except Stroll, who’s daddy will spend a billion pound converting the car so Stroll can steer with a straw and continue with his dream of being an F1 dribbler I mean driver 😂
I think this situation is like A MINE-FIELD, one mistake and it will go all BONKERS -MAD .
"Why did Lewis Hamilton walk out of interview?" It is because the media and fans don't understand the dynamic occurring at Mercedes this year. Lewis is 100% all-in on helping Mercedes this year. He and the team are using his car to experiment; to get a handle on understanding that car. George Russel is the one getting the good things found because of that. Lewis gets them as well, but also has differences for testing purposes. They are comparing and contrasting to gain knowledge.
Okay, I'll bite. What's with the loft and ladder?
I'm finding all this so entertaining. Carlos, without a job next year, turns up 24 hours after surgery to sit in the garage, analyse Ollie's data and advise his engineer, go banzai getting fit enough to drive and win two weeks later, perform insanely well (so far....🤞), all the while being a perfect gent and never saying a word out of place about the company that just dumped him. This the best and most insane way of actually saying "f*ck you" to Elkann and Ferrari. Chapeau - rock on Carlos.😁
💯
He converted me to a fan with all of that.
@@dubsessed9790 Same here.
After all those years of watching the media snuff him, seeing his day come like this on one hand has felt like retribution but if he gets an actual chance to get a wdc and wins it I will lose my mind
one day you just came into my recommended videos and then never left.
Imagine turning a team a around, having a competitive car and the perfect driver pairing. Then having upper mangment go over your head making a half a billion dollar deal and discarding a competitive driver. Seems to be a consistent theme for F1.
Indeed... Vasseur now looks like a complete clown, stripped of any authority over the team. You think he'd have his "mentee" Leclerc sign a 5-year deal only to see him now demoted to being Hamilton's shoeshiner for the foreseeable future? (Make no mistake, no matter how many millions/billions Elkann has offered Hamilton, Sir Lewis would not have signed a contract which doesn't manifest is #1 status in the team.)
I'd draw the conclusion that Ferrari is just being Ferrari, but agree with your points.
Imagine thinking a 8* time world champ is a bad move. You ppl sound stupid! Lewis offers more than Charles and carlos combined. He brought Ferrari 7 bill before he could sit in the car! He will bring insight and ideas that will take them to wining championships.
@@aoife1122 Remember, John Elkann directly approached Lewis for the deal. Vasseur got bypassed entirely and is left to deal with the mess that Elkann has created for him.
It’s not even new for Ferrari to do this. Luca di Montezemolo (then Ferrari chairman) went over Jean Todt (then Ferrari TP) to sign on Raikkonen for the 2007 season, effectively breaking up the Todt/Brawn/Schumacher axis that had brought the team so much success in 11 seasons. And Todt is French too!
Can't believe you don't drink tea, the commonwealth will be hearing about this.
Hahaaha, RIGHT? I'm a Yankee and literally just finished my morning tea.
😂
The audacity
Why do you think he has to film in a loft?
‘I don’t actually drink tea’
Unsubbed 😳
Same 😞
As an American, tracks why he's more tolerable takes than many F1 YT folks. 😏
I think Ferrari's time to acknowledge Sainz as a great driver has been over since at-least last season. Ferrari went all-in on LeClerc as their #1 and continually downlplayed Carlos' consistently solid performances.
Furthermore, Sainz recipe for pancakes is flat-out delicious. Even more reason to consider him to be the full-package!
I really think Mercedes should grab him quick
@@stpbasss3773 I think Sainz would be a fool to go to Merc. They are going backwards. Red Bull or Aston Martin would be better moves
This isn't about getting Ferrari another title as much as Lewis fans increasing Ferrari stock etc
fr also ferrari always had a toxic environment (i am not talking about the fans or the biased charles or carlos ) i am talking about the team and the relation between the 2 drivers also they never crash into each other. they are competitive but not in a toxic way. idk if charles and lewis will work next year as good as charles and carlos or it will be a seb and charles 2.0.
@@lofipurple Seb and Charles was PERFECT
Toto wolf watching this - "He figured out my plan, this is not right mike" 😭
I've made Sainz pancakes recipe and they are amazing, I highly recommend and my kids loved them as well, so it was a win/win in my book.
I'm not sure what's going on with hamilton and mercedes, but he only has one more point than stroll, and that's ......concerning. also, if sainz hadnt been out, i'm 100% confident he would be leading the ferrari drivers in points. Law, if you recall, i called this a while ago
Could you imagine the absolute carnage it would be in 2025 if Toto signed Carlos and then Carlos in his Mercedes went on to finish ahead of Lewis in his Ferrari on the regular and dont think Toto doesn't go to sleep at night dreaming of that. In fact Carlos is probably hoping whatever his ride is next year he will beat Hamilton. Other than the stock price I cant see Ferrari or even Hamilton coming out of this positively.
What's even goofier is that Ferrari just had their best year yet in terms of profit... So of course stock went up. Yes, Lewis may have played a part, but it wasn't just him.
That is very unlikely with how Mercedes is going and built its the 2024 with 2025 being an evolution. It will work out well
Isn't that what happened with Checo and Aston Martin...?
@@dutchsailor6620 yep.
I feel Ferrari was finally getting stable and here comes Lewis rocking the boat with his half a billion dollar entry. Ferrari was finally starting to get back to there ways I hope getting Lewis will make it 10x better and not taking steps back
Just typed out my comment and I've basically said what you put before me. Nice to know some of us are on the same page 😂
The timing of the exodus to Ferrari couldn’t have been handled more poorly.
It a disaster for all the Teams involved 😬
I think Stroll will have a massive pile up at the start of one of the races this year, making him, Hamilton, Vestappen, Norris, Albion, and Hulkenburg all paraplegic’s….which will end all there careers except Stroll, who’s daddy will spend a billion pound converting the car so Stroll can steer with a straw and continue with his dream of being an F1 dribbler I mean driver 😂
He won't be better. He is done.
How much is Lewis getting in Ferrari?!
yeah I've been scratching my head about the why on this trade. Carlos- fast, young, fit, peaking, regularly getting to the podium. Lewis- slower than his team mate... old........ seems like he has had his turn. This would not have looked like a good trade even last year. I feel for Carlos, he looked so damned happy in the interview after Suzuka
They could’ve had Carlos till 2027… would’ve been the best team decision….
This LH decision is not a competitive team decision but only for the promo of the Ferrari brand, they use LH as marketing tool, not as the best choice for the racing team… not smart
I love how this dude just climbs half way into his attic and drops banger videos standing on a ladder 😂
LOL, the fact is that Hamilton’s teammate is finishing better than him, so regardless of the fact that the car isn’t up to par with it’s historic dominance doesn’t change the fact that Hamilton isn’t doing as well. Double the pain to the fact that Sainz is doing better than LeClerc and Ferrari is pulling another Ferrari. The only hope for them is that Hamilton is just not trying at Mercedes anymore and the change will re-invigorate him.
Sainz isnt doing much better than leclerc unlike how one sided russel and hamilton has been,Sainz and leclerc have both had proper cars in only Australia and Suzuka but charles messed up in Quali which we all know won't happen for much longer and Leclerc was faster in race pace in both Australia and Suzuka(Which I can prove If you want,Its quite simple),So soon enough its all gonna be normal again but Hamilton...I don't see him beating george this year In the championship. All the fuel hamilton had left was used up in 2023 and now he's finished
@@greenfj1466 Charles has a history of messing up in qualifying, is he magically going to fix that all of a sudden? It isn’t about Sainz being significantly better, he’s most definitely not significantly worse and he’s been getting results but is being dumped for a has been that is considerably worse than his teammate. It was a stupid move.
George is clearly underrated. As Sainz was.
@@milspecmike8440what do you mean quali mistakes the man was on a 7 race front row start streak. When that was going on no one said how good that was
4 races and somehow Russell is a GOAT? Lewis beat all non Redbull cars last season. Relax, season is very long
If Carlos isn't in a competitive car next season it would be the crime of the century!!!
The matchup i want to see, Tifosi VS CultLH.
😂 that will be fire
The information would have leaked eventually cause Sainz was about to finalize his extension. Ferrari taking over 6 months to give him an answer would have been an issue. I think camp Lewis and Ferrari put themselves in this situation by signing so early cause they were to eager to ink the deal with Lewis
Yes but even if it had happened a few months later than it did it would've led to less scrutiny.
@@LawVSI just feel like no later then a week or two it would have still leaked. Probably around testing. Cause camp Sainz would have been sniffing around. And the questions would start to be asked. By virtue of them signing that early it almost guaranteed that this was not going to be something they would be able to contain. Had they told Sainz that his contract would be finalised only mid season 2024 then maybe they could have even held of signing Lewis
I still feel like this was timed to distract from the whole Andretti fiasco.
@@LawVS I feel like this was the only option. There would have been scrutiny regardless and I think the lack of confirmation would have brought up the Lewis to Ferrari rumours again anyways like they always used to. On top of that it was entirely possible that Ferrari showed Lewis something (besides money) that prompted him to go to Ferrari like he did when he went to Mercedes. It could realistically have been a now or never moment and Lewis' 1+1 deal with Merc certainly doesn't spark any confidence about his future in F1 beyond 2025, especially with Kimi Antonelli being so hyped up.
I wont go into hamiltons potential results on track, and, just to be clear, i never cheered for the guy while liking sainz more and more each season, but ferarri will make that half a billion back fairly soon from marketing and merch. That part is calculated.
But... Ferrari already sell the most merch, and their company sells itself. Pretty sure all their cars are on backorder, and they don't even need to do commercials, the press come to them..
I don't see what they get from this. Ferrari isn't broke, they just had their best year yet in terms of profit.
They already made their money back multiple folds. Ferrari market cap already gone up like 15 billions or something since the Lewis announcement, ofcourse it's not sole reason, but the announcement helped fueled it.
@@erikahuxleyNO…THE STOCK WENT UP COS THAT DAY THE RECORD BREAKING SALES WERE ANNOUNCED…its not cos of LH…
@@erikahuxley it wasn't even close to the only reason. Ferrari just broke records for revenue and is on the up with constant backorders on all their cars. They have no need for any sort of revenue that Lewis would bring.
And the potential of him destabilizing the team, AND using his contract for the coming... Decade or so? Even when he isn't in the car, to get Ferrari support on projects is a hell of a cost for what may not even be a better driver than Sainz at this point.
Im sure theyve weighed up the odds, big man. I cant see some dude in the comments has a single clue what is going on behind the scenes, where ferrari will be in 2026 and beyond.
Take a seat and relax bro, if you dont know, your not in the know. 😂😂 @@Ryzard
I feel Carlos is the better choice. Not saying he's a better driver than Hamilton, but Sainz is a very complete driver who won't cost insane money and will do the job reliably. Charles is faster pace wise, but I'd genuinely argue Sainz and Charles have been at pretty level pegging since the latter half of 2023. Charles and Carlos are both really really good and fairly equal drivers who each want to best the other without any hostility between them. Hamilton is too much of a big name not to favor over Charles, but Charles is the golden boy around whom the team and car has been built. I could be wrong and Hamilton fits in beautifully at Ferrari and he and Charles have a great time as teammates, but I feel its gonna be a rockier partnership than now and its gonna lead to Charles probably either trouncing Hamilton as he's been with Ferrari for so long and the car favors him, or Charles is ignored in favor of Hamilton and end up like Raikkonnen in his second Ferrari stint.
Yup. Ham's ego will inevitably cause issues.
Poor Kimi... That would suck for Charles too, and I see it coming for sure.
the fact that charles is 3 times more expensive than Carlos is crazy . honestly they are the same
@@lofipurple tbf charles has been there for longer and Sainz has only gotten on equal footing since the second half of 2023 imo. Remember all those spins in 2022?
Congrats on 50k Law! Well deserved!🎉
Lol, LH is going to make a ton of people put their feet in their mouths. Hes a better and faster driver than Leclerc. And Sainz wasnt performing this well until his contract was up. Its a slam dunk. Just wait
I will take a bet against that 😂
This is so delusional haha
Before anything he needs to start beating average Russel, right?!
Are you w both your feet in your mouth now? Cause the average kid is beating him fair and square again.
You don’t drink tea? Better STAY in that attic, good sir!
Anarchy in the U.K.
No tea!
Carlos is giving them the middle finger and I love it!
In my sweet dreams Stroll drops the towel and Sainz come to Aston to pair Alonso 👌🏼
Yes omg my #1 preference 😭😭😭 but heard that AM wanna replace Alo with Sainz... Lance shld go wec
Totally agreed. Lewis is great and all but 2025 just feels like a bad time to switch from a solid driver that has been very consistent in your car for years to a bit of an unknown. Everybody knows lewis is great but anything can happen when you step into a new car and a new work environment. We've seen how many great drivers have left Ferrari broken. Such a shame for Carlos, a year before the reg change? What were they thinking? Especially when they want Charles to be the golden boy. What's the dynamic gonna be like now? The Ferrari board should have just stayed in their lane tbh.
Well said
I would not be surprised if Ferrari decision to treat both drivers more equally is Fred way of insulting the suits in Maranello for interfering with Scuderia and Fred's plans for the team, plus to show them they made a mistake.
Fred is definitely a good news for ferrari.
One of the most clever things I have ever read
and its very possible
Hiring Hamilton is an insane gamble. If Hamilton is comfortable in the Ferrari and likes how it feels, it’ll pay off. But if Hamilton can’t get his head around the car then Ferrari will have wasted a seriously talented and incomprehensibly RELIABLE driver.
As a fan with eyes, Lewis has lost it, Clearly! Carlos is hungry to win and fast. Dump Lewis cus he won't win. 😮
That is absolutely not how stocks work. The value of the stocks going up doesn't add "6 billion dollars to [Ferrari's] bottom line". If anything, his signing will have reduced the bottom line since they're paying him more than Sainz and "bottom line" means profit (revenue - expenses).
Exactly. It only really means they can more easily borrow cash when needed. I don't think they do.
Replacing Sainz with a 40 year old Hamilton just isn't the right move, you are replacing a driver in his prime who is only getting better and better with a guy who has seen his best days.
Alonso is much closer to 40 and arguably top 2 on the grid so your point about age doesnt really matter
I disagree. Sainz is currently building a CV so he has a shot at a good team, whoever that'll be. Of course he's trying to turn it up to 11. Lewis despite not being at his absolute 2018 peak is still a great driver and at the end of the day if you gotta choose between Sainz (who wasn't performing well comparatively to Charles once the car got it's final upgrades) and a proven champion who, when presented with an opportunity, will deliver a good result, it's a pretty easy decision.
Now I'm not slighting Carlos in any way, he is 100% entering his prime and we are seeing his best driving, and Lewis definitely isn't performing well, but we have seen several times in the past two years what a lack of confidence does to a driver and I think that we will see Hamilton back on form once he joins Ferrari. I think the change in scenery and a Scuderia with an upward trajectory will put a spring in his step again.
@@themonkey8251 Alonso is on a different league, can't compare him to anyone
More Ferrari genius? Lol
I agree with you in some points but I wonder if Hamilton will struggle to come to grips with the ferrari as he hasn't driven a different car/make in a very long time@@MoptopTofer
I Love Vasseur, Leclerc and MOST of all Carlos but I despite Ferrari. The Boutsen comment is spot on and that’s why HAM will never be the GOAT. Keep up the great job Law!
Putting Lewis in the Ferrari is like sacking Usain Bolt and putting Steven Hawkin as the last leg of the relay race. 😂😂😂😂
No it’s not. Sainz is very good driver but not as good as Hamilton and Charles as he continues to develop but no one else, if Hamilton didn’t sign the contract for Ferrari than Carlos would get another contract with how well he is performing.
@@ausriusdidziokas6771 Lewis a good driver 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Yeah 1 point ahead of Stroll 😂😂😂😂😂 He’s really setting the F1 world alight 😂😂😂😂😂
@@stableianF1oracle The Hamilton meatriders are next-level delusional. Literally any other driver would be a 10-time WDC by now if they'd signed with Merc. He's been beaten by all of his teammates except Bottas.
@@quigglyz true lol 😂
@@quigglyzhow the hell do you come up with that conclusion?
From a Ferrari fan point of view, I'm not so concerned about how Lewis will do, I think he'll do just fine, his heart isn't in Mercedes at the moment so naturally his performances will suffer. My one concern is I hope he doesn't rock the boat. As you outlined, Ferrari is a lot calmer and a lot more confident this season. We are doing everything right, I hope in his push for diversity we don't suffer operationally.
You will suffer operationally. The whole point of diversity is hiring people other than the best candidates to tick political boxes.
@@spybreak23 Lewis is a 7 time world champion and he beat Sainz and Leclerc just last year in a worse car. He didn't get into Ferrari for being black. He got in there because they know how good he is with a competitive car and he brings a lot marketing with him. Look at the reactions of people when it was announced and he's not even wearing the red yet. Calling this a diversity hire is ignorant.
@@kengxi typical lulu fan gets triggered and shuts down rational brain; impairing comprehensive reading skills.
Read what spybreak and OP said carefully. They're saying that Hamilton will push for diversity hires (in the garage for example), not that Hamilton is a diversity hire himself.
In 2025 we are really gonna see some “valtteri, it’s James” moments at Ferrari
@@Mammel248How can you talk about kengxi not having a “rational brain” when spybreak has inaccurately described what diversity hiring is, and is using talking points from reactionaries who’s whole livelihoods revolve around being angry at everything?

@@ploppyjr2373 Carlos cooked at times last year, but I was referring to Lewis p3 in the chip.
Ferrari making a huge mistake for trading out Sainz for Hamilton. Hamilton is a midfield talent when he isnt driving a completely dominate car
I've been saying from the start of the year that Ferrari made a mistake... He truly performed a tactical masterclass in Singapore last year, and had lots of bad luck as well... Yet so many people don't rate Carlos for some reason. I'm happy he had such a strong start in 2024. 🎉
Why do F1 journalists always try and bolster their clickbait provocative articles by stating "Former F1 driver says this" and then get some guy nobody's ever heard of to spout out their ridiculous opinions as if they have any authority in the subject?
Ive been saying this since the news was announced. There is no upside to signing on a driver who has o ky few years left. Even in the remote chance he does well, he will leave soon after. Instead of building a good team with leclerc amd carlos, they screwed up the team dynamics agai . Either they change the drivers or the Team Principal or staff. There is no consistency. Huge huge screw up aigning on lewis.
Totally agree!
So, you're saying, Ferrari should have kept this under wraps? Dragging out "fake negotiations" with Carlos Sainz Jr. only to tell him in October or so to eff off, his drive is now Hamilton's... yeah, that would have been lovely for (almost) all involved. 🤣
Besides, Hamilton had a contract with Mercedes until the end of 2025, since he wanted to get out, he had to set things in motion as early as possible, no way this could have been kept a secret. I am convinced, none other than Toto Wolff is the one who made this public at his earliest convenience.
“Terrible mistake” no a calculated decision in regards to media, the sheer size of Hamiltons fan base and all those sponsors will easily pay for themselves. Not to mention the massive experience Lewis will bring to the team I’m a McLaren fan and even I can see that.
Terrible Mistake? That's an understatement LOL. Half a BILLION dollars for team LH? What a waste. My hope is Carlos continues to destroy Charles (and I like Charles) and at the end of the year just drops the Mic and walks away to a team that will help him destroy team LH. Go RedBull!!!!!
100% then i hope Charles destroys him next year, beating him every quali and race. i love tean LH tears
From where this half a billion figure coming?
I hope Carlos continues to do well too, but don't disrespect Charles like that, Carlos hasn't been *destroying* him.
@@sancheznegi redbull propaganda
@@sancheznegi 466 million is what they are paying him...
when are you getting a haircut, i recommend getting a mohawk
Sorry, that style has already been taken. 😂😂😂😂
I'm actually starting to believe Lewis is becoming underrated...
People are genuinely going crazy 😂
I’ve always believed he’s overrated
He’s been all his life he love’s proving haters wrong 😎
His career has shown that he is incapable of building a team up from difficult times and make them champions. He joins a team who's at the top and win and when they performance wanes, he fails to build it back up and moves to another team. Unless ferrari develops an insanely good championship winning car, lewis wont do much.
And even if he does it puts ferrari in a big pickle. If he does well, it puts a huge question mark on long term contract of leclerc and what will be his positi9n in fhe team. If he fails, itll be a half a billion dollar mistake. In both cases, Ferrari's long term plan is screwed.
And my god imagine both lecledc and lewis sulking and complaining. Jeez. Lewis in Red is just a big misfit imo.
Nobody can build a team up from difficult times, it's all about engineering and physics
Pardon me, but this all sounds like excuses for LH, his lack of performance before making arguably the biggest transfer. Ferrari’s headache began the moment they signed Lewis and had to explain themselves whether it be preseason or summer break (although no one expected Carlos’ performance thus far)
I do not think the Ferrari board cares less about Hamilton winning or losing. They likely care more about his impact to the Ferrari brand and Hamilton is very marketable in the USA where Leclerc and Sainz are not. He likely has the most marketing impact of anyone on the grid except for maybe Alonso but I think Hamilton has greater impact to marketing dollars.
There's no way that news of Lewis to Ferrari could have keep secret that long and also would have been a bit unfair for Carlos to be left in the shadows so long about his future, or not being able to openly talk about finding a new team.
"I don't actually drink tea."
/drops monocle
I say!
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯
Ferrari can't just make safe and steady steos towards a calm and collected team that finally delivers on its potential again, even if their life depended on it. As a fan I would loose my mind, as an outsider I honestly love it. Italian drama at its best!
Sadly, all the driver/teams machinations prove only one thing: It's mostly about the car.
And yes, I did say 'mostly'.
Most people will agree, unfortunately the 33 and 44 fans are so loud that they drown out reason.
Absolutely correct!
You're right about that, F1 is really an engineering formula and the teams building the cars are far more important than the driver.
That being said when we situations where cars are relatively even in performance a driver can make all the difference and in most cases the best of best will drag every ounce of performance from a car to achieve results the car has no right achieving i.e. look at Alonso in 2012 and where he was finishing races in that tractor of a Ferrari against Seb's RB8 - some of his performances that season were out of this world (Valencia for example).
If you want more examples we have Checo last season making the RB19 look average at best not the Godly unbeatable machine it was in Max's hands. Even Lance the last couple of seasons shows what an average driver vs an elite driver can do in the same machinery.
I'd say the sport is around 80% car with the team and driver making up that final 20%. A great team and driver combo can can be difference between walking away with titles or nothing at and we can turn to Ferrari in 2010 as a perfect example of how to throw away a title in the final race due to poor team management.
Max looks so unbeatable due to a potent combination of fantastic car, a driver in his absolute prime in a team that is the best in all areas (strategy, pitstops etc). There's been a few races the past couple of seasons where the weather made things unpredictable and yet Verstappen still won those races, that's no coincidence and we've seen how easily the dominant team can fumble things when things like weather play a part (Mercedes at the German GP 2019).
So that’s why we talk about greatest cars, not the greatest drivers, right?
@@wonjoomin Ah, sarcasm! The lowest form of wit. I laughed until I stopped.
How do people STILL underrate Lewis?? 😂 Maybe as a fan of his I've paid attention to him and how he does every season. This is a very very long season guys. Too early for a lot of the talk on here. Some of the hate still exists from the time he was winning everything I guess. Otherwise, you can even refer to last season if y'all about recency
It's weird for people to underrate him. It is however that people are expecting more of him now. He isn't stepping up as a leader, he is just not in it with his mind. Russell isn't being a leader either, he just performs (or crashes). There are moments during the race where you can see the real Hamilton. But overall, he acts and performs as if he wanted to leave 2-3 years ago.
Well his career has shown that he has gotten lucky and joined a team whose car was top of the lot and won championships and when their performance waned, he bolted to another team. He can't build a team up from a midfield to a championship winning team. He's a bloody good driver no doubt but jot someone who can build a team up.
And even if he does perform well, what is the long term strategy for ferrari? If lewis does well, then leclerc's long term contract is rendered useless. Who's #1 and who's long term? Lewis is not long term cos he has only few years left. If he doesn't do well and doesn't beat leclerc, whats the point of hiring him? In both cases, their long term strategy is effed up. They need consistency and they were just starting to build that with Carlos and charles.
And if he is unable to beat George in the team he has been with for over a decade, how can anyone expect him to beat leclerc in an entirely new team? The mark of a drivers performance first is how he fares against his teammateand at present, Lewis is not doing well
No one is underrating Lewis, the facts demonstrate that he was not that much faster than Rosberg, Bottas or Russel, with all three beating Lewis on occasions, in the same car.
Most people rate Leclerc as better than Rosberg, Bottas and Russell, and Leclerc is nearing the peak of his career. while Lewis will be 40 years old.
Logic would dictate that Lewis and Leclerc will be very evenly matched, but is a 40 year old going to push as hard as a hungry 26 year old, I doubt.
Well said !@@SaintKimbo
He beat George last season easily, F1 is an engineering competition, they build the cars not the drivers.@@Whatreally123
Recently discovered your channel and bloody hell I love it! Wishing you great success❤
if you look at it horner making a joke last year about hamilton joining ferrari.
sounds to me all the rumors about horner might be fake.
just because he leaked it early.
Charles said THAT HE KNEW WHEN HE SIGNED HIS DEAL…LAST YEAR. So it was definately known in the paddock by some…
I can totally relate to Fred's words at 5:00 - seeing this myself at work for years. 😅'
There's just a handfull of people that want to rule and have everything go their way, not realizing it's not working out and causing some of our best workers to leave, replacing them with others that keep getting worseawith every new person. 👀
I really enjoy your content . I’d love to see on the paddock one day. I think you’d do a brilliant job!!!!! Keep up the good work😎😎
What also contributes to the narrative was Carlos went out with appendicitis in Saudi Arabia you got to see a glimpse of the talent Ferrari has been developing with Oliver Bearman. Add in the fact that he ends up being the first British Driver at Ferrari over Hamilton and he finished ahead of Hamilton in that race it just further adds fuel to the fire. The best thing that can happen to Lewis at this point is to finish this season as strong as possible and then if he can perform consistently for the Tifosi all will be forgiven.
Lol so we forget how bearman pitted under safety car while lewis and lando didn't pit
Keep up the content! Love hearing Goku talk about F1
Babe wake up Ladder Man just dropped a new F1 video
Ferrari didn’t make a bad call imop. Lewis is just in a bad car which makes him look bad in turn. You don’t just regret signing a driver like Lewis just because Sainz suddenly turns the power on now that he has to actually drive for his career and earn a seat somewhere. Sergio did the same thing. Drove like crazy so he could picked up by RB
Lewis' whining makes him look bad, all by himself. For the first time in his F1 career, he's in a mid-pack car. And his response is to throw a temper tantrum.
@@geonerd I don’t think this is a temperature tantrum. If he wanted to be petty he would’ve just danced around the question and played coy. Him walking out was statement of intent to let everyone know “if you want me in your cameras and my audio bit don’t ask me stupid questions or I’ll ruin it for everyone and nobody gets to ask me questions” he’s really in his I don’t care era. Alonso did it, Vettle did it, Schumacher did it. Why feed into what people are trying to stir the pot.
Lewis is a dump. Russell will destroy him all year in THE EXACT SAME CAR 😂😂😂
No he wont
Dropping Sainz has played more with Leclerc's head than Carlos's
how so?? (not a joke genuinely asking)
Hah, the Karthikeyan joke took me a second. good one!
“Sainzbury’s” 😂 I see what you did there!
Ferrari signing a 40 year old Hamilton might be a great marketing move, but it's a bad sporting move. Hamilton is still pretty good, but pretty good doesn't win 7 world titles. He's 5 years past his prime and hasn't got a chance in hell of beating Verstappen.
Well said
I agree with the analysis but not your conclusion. If a company spends half a billion dollars, the strategy behind doing so should hold up to scrutiny whether or not it got leaked early or not
LH to Ferrari is a marketing exercise for both of them.
I love your red lights when talking about Ferrari. ❤
As cool as a Narain Karthikeyan 😭...took me a second to get that reference and realize it wasn't a compliment 😂
This man does not drink tea?!!? He's an imposter!!
I love your videos because they are super analytical and brings lots of information packed in. Thanks for your work
I wonder if the Ferrari seat is set far enough back for Lewis 😂
This yapping level is catastrophic
And I love it ❤
I AM a professional yapper
I’m not sure I agree that if they had managed to wait and break the news about Lewis going to Ferrari until the silly season normally is would make the PR side of things any better for either of them. All things remaining the same (namely Carlos’s performance) makes me think the same questions would have arisen.
We'll just have to wait and see 🤷 I think a refreshed Lewis will come in and perform just fine.
Hamilton is a waste of money for Ferrari.
Not so much Mizzcedes, more Midcedes.
It seems Liberty Media might have leaked it. It's kind of working, generating excitement about next year's races. I can't deny I'm eagerly anticipating it.
I don't think that it was actually a leak but it was already decided, even the new sponsor Peroni when announced as the new sponsor released an image with a LH Easter egg 3 or 4 days before the announcement
Honestly this is all wrong. Mercedes should have just given him the stupid ambassadorial role and respected his place in the team and ferrari would continue to grow with increasing stability. Now it is all messed up but interesting regardless
I'd call Lulu and tell him DOMP EET - BOGDANOFF 😂
remember, only Mclaren valued Carlos as the amazing driver he is, you can even see their goodbye video to Ferrari
Yes 😭 he was so loved there. Even till now Carlos still golfs with Lando & Zak Brown
Sainz is mad underrated…
Right? He'd be in my team.
I disagree, he was underrated, not anymore
Carlos deserves the Red Bull seat
Agree! Why would Lewis perform better? He won't.
Ironically.. he’s gone from fairly rated, to over hyped.
This will go down as The Worst driver move ever. Cut ties with Lewis if you want to fight for a title. He can't help.
Merc should drop Hamilton over the summer break and let someone else drive, his head is not in the game for Merc…
I think gardening leave may be on the cards for Lewis. Can't have him seeing what's going on with next year's car. Also can't imagine the garage will be getting friendlier as he approaches leaving.
Sainzbury’s! Lols! Bahaha! Made my morning. Iz so good! 🤣
Plot twist:
Ferrari cancels Hamilton costing them billions, Merc finds a new driver and Hamilton retires. That'd be something.
Well done on 50k..At least someone is good at this CZcams thing unlike me...
Red Bull and Max are going to be the dominant factor for the next years still
I genuinely don’t understand why everyone is saying Ferrari are regretting their decision. No they’re not. They know Carlos is a good driver and they still sacked him because they wanted a better driver. They knew Carlos could put in good performances like Singapore. At the end of the day, their stock went up 7 billion dollars, they have already gained that money back. This wasn’t just a on track decision for better racing, they also got Lewis Hamilton because of publicity and improving their brand outside of f1. The only reason people are so incredibly mad about this is because they are firing a good driver (Carlos). However, I think we forget sometimes how good Lewis is and he was best of the rest last year gaining 3rd place. The reason we are so fixated on it is because Carlos is having an excellent start to the season and Lewis is having a bad start to the season. Once we get into the season, I think we will see this shift.
I think it's fairly clear thar signing LH was a Elkann-led "board decision" (loved your linked video on this, btw). The premature "leak" of the signing, resulting in a big boost to Ferrari's stock price, reeks of 'quarterly results' think so currently dominant in Wall Street circles. That this was done regardless to the detriment of the Scuderia's progression, and Vasseur's control and philosophy (which you present here so well, Law), only underlines this blatant money and control ploy. It really must gall Fred's (ahem) Gallic hide to no end! I'm confident he will adapt and overcome, you'll see.
Another well-reasoned and supported presentation, carry on!
The stock prices did rise not cos of LH but that day the RECORDBREAKING SALES FIGURES WERE ANNOUNCED……
@@Redlingstein Possibly a compound effect. To definitively state the LH signing had no effect on the stock price is quite bold, to say the least.
Question here, is it possible for Ferrari to cancel the LH 2025 signing and offer Carlos a good salary to stay? If yes, would Merc be happy with LH, or want him gone..
Lewis Hamilton signing with Ferrari was leaked the day that it was because it changed the subject from everyone talking about how the rent-seekers and anti-competitive teams in Formula 1 were blocking the entrance of Andretti-Cadillac. Also, announcing it right after Ferrari's unexpectedly strong earnings report allowed some ignoramuses to claim that Hamilton had increased Ferrari's stock price. Unfortunately for Ferrari, it is becoming increasingly obvious that replacing Sainz with Hamilton was a terrible mistake. This isn't 2016.
Ferrari has already made their decision. No point from Ferrari sitting there and dwindling on whether they made the right decision by dropping Carlos. The decision has already been made. Move on.
I don't think it is "a mistake", whatever it goes:
#1 - Lewis does good, Ferrari wins and keeps selling 100€+ caps.
#2 - Lewis does bad, Ferrari keeps selling 80€+ caps and we get lots of memes.
I have been saying this for many years. Last Ferrari dominance was under french (non-italian more importantly) leadership. Then it was Jean Todt. Now it is Fred Vasseur. That is why i was very excited to see him join Ferrari. And the improvements have been noticeable!
Alonso and vettel didn't work at Ferrari. Another mess when Lewis rolls up.
Huge mistake by Ferrari
I still think it was from the FIA or someone connected there. The Lewis announcement buried the Andretti one.
