Italian media claims Mercedes’ senior management in Stuttgart was opposed to a longer contract for Lewis because they were fearing “he might decide to stop suddenly” like Rosberg.
Ferrari vice chairman Pietro Ferrari, the son of Ferrari founder Enzo Ferrari, comments on Lewis Hamilton’s arrival to his team and describes their interactions.
Sainz, Ocon, Alonso, even Vettel, these are the people being discussed as possible replacement for Lewis in 2025. But, why isn’t anybody talking about Bottas?
Andrew Benson reports that Lewis’ deal with Ferrari happened at the last minute, as the Italian team was still negotiating with Sainz only “three weeks ago”.
Romain Grosjean says he is surprised that Lewis is leaving Mercedes because “he has such a great set-up there”, but adds “Lewis is not afraid of challenges”.
