If he actually wins it with ferrari, that will be a fairytale way to end a career. titles with mclaren, mercedes and ferrari. definitely cements GOAT status
and I think only Fangio has wdc with 3 different teams.
never a goat
I honestly think if he wins a race there it's enough. That's a bragging right.
Max is coming for all his records
Ferrari is the only place where champions go to die - Raikkonen, Vettel, Alonso, now Hamilton.
Netflix happy AF right now
Why
Broooo😂
Still they're gonna butcher this (actually good) storyline and make stuff up for drama instead
i heard that they will quit after this season with netflix but idk after this
Ha, no one grown up cares about that silly kids show.
Merc will ban Lewis from tech briefings and out their focus on George this year, this year will be a right off for Lewis
Been a write off since 2022
Probably.
For sure, expect that all upgrades will be focused to George
They will want to win the Constructors championship and they can’t do that without both drivers.
Is that any different from other seasons (2016, 2022 & 2023)? In 2016 MB swapped 5 key personal between Lewis and Nico’s crews. Nico went on to the win the Championship. Mercedes has since lost their way with the no sidepod monstrosity, and refused to trust Lewis’ insights and recommendations on the crappy 2022 & 2023 cars.
Can’t wait for Hamilton x leclerc duo.
🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@robertmeijer8422 I’m prob 80-90% sure sainz is goin to Audi in 2026. So I don’t see sainz going to red bull in 2025 for 1 season. Not sure where he will end up next season tbh.
I think this due is gonna be straight up fire, it’s like a movie crossover to take on max/redbull
@@robertmeijer8422I hope he joins RED BULL🤞🏾🤞🏾
This would be insane
Sorry for Carlos
Great driver. Definitely deserve a seat in competitive team
He may have been talking to Audi
@@alanluscombe8a553 Yes, especially after his dad won Dakar with Audi. I mean Come on! The names "Sainz" and "Audi" are a match made in heaven.
I agree.👍
Don't forget Red Bull will need to replace Perez...and they know Carlos.
@@_clemens_
crystappen won't stand for that!
He drove w15 2 days back. He is like this is crap 😂
-This is a Mercedes!
-This is a shitbox 🤬
Whether they can win or not, EVERY good driver wants to drive for Ferrari before ending their career. I'm not really a Hamilton fan, but I hope he does well. It's a massive shake-up!
Ferrari will never have Max Costcappen driving for them no matter how many titles he wins.
Hamilton moving to Ferrari? If this is true, it means that the W15, as well as future Mercedes racing cars, are not competitive and cannot beat Red Bull.
well, pretty much. He probably drove it 2 days ago and saw how garbage it is
Fun fact: the only teams who had both 7 time champions are Ferrari and Mercedes
Then it will probably stay at seven times for Lewis.
@@rotheryberlin7772 Yes, because Piastri takes his first this year 😎 (Copium)
@@derimik15 We'll see.
Mc Laren successful times are a few years done.
It would be a big surprise.
@@rotheryberlin7772 To quote the first episode of a very popular scifi franchise, it would be "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one"
@@rotheryberlin7772 To quote the first episode of a very popular scifi franchise, it would be "A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one"
Hamilton is living life on his own terms! What a legendary career 🤣
But why not announce it at the end of the season? Now the team will leave him out of briefings and such.
Mercedes must go for Alex Albon.
If you want average, then yes.
Hell nah
Huh????
Wtf really ?
Goat Latifi!!🎉
Russell and Albon great mates.....cultural fit.
So we’re Lewis and Nico 🤣
But this new gen of drivers are far less toxic than those of lewis and Nico's era.(except Ocon) They'll be mates no mater what
@@mapleleafkay9824 Facts
@@rycx3945that's why none of them is champion material. Too nice.
I give that idea 👎👎
As a hamilton fan I was not sure how to fell about this
But I now believe that if he actually makes the miricle with the prancing horce it would be amazing
And I also think that it was time to take a gamble as he will not stay in the sport for ever
This is TV gold for Drive to Survive on Netflix! 😮
Mercedez can play smart now. They should let all the potential drivers compete a bit before signing anybody. We are talking about Albon, Sainz, Piastri, Gasly, Ocon, Tsunoda and even Alonso thinking about this!! I would also not rule out Vettel, could be a dream come back for him!
I get goosebumps when I imagine Sebastian Vettel in a Mercedes racing wheel-to-wheel vs Lewis Hamilton in a Ferrari.
I imagine what Alonso thinks of this. A cheeky smile or smirk or maybe another wild move again.
I said this would happen in 2022. I have never been a ferrari fan in my 41 years following F1 so that's going to be new. I'm really looking forward to seeing him accomplish what Alonso & Seb couldn't do. 🎉
41 years and how can you not appreciate the brand that is Ferrari? That's mind-boggling
@@madeovstarstuff Always been a Mclaren fan until Lewis. Now my loyalty goes 44/3/4/63/23. Ferrari have always been the enemy... 🏎️🏎️
There was one Seb Vettel, who had 4 world championship titles with RB. He lost his patience when RB were not as competitive after he won the 4th title. He moved to Ferrari. That was the beginning of end for him..
I only hope Hamilton doesn't go Seb's way
He is, looking retirement anyway nothing to lose
I see him getting a couple of wins but not a championship
It took Redbull more than 7 years to win anything after Vettel’s exit. It was more them team’s decline rather than him
He is retiring anyway nothing to lose its a new challenge
He's past his sell by date anyways.
I imagine Toto's phone has been exploding the last few hours. Albon to Mercedes 2025!
I could hear Toto screaming “No Hammie, No, it’s not right” 😂😂😂😂😂
What an iconic last play in the twilight of his career... Hamilton things 🔥😎🐐
A nice way to press Mercedes to give him a good car.
Been pressing for the last two seasons 😅
@@lengmuzik6333 Yes But I could bet he Will not Go to Ferrari If he Still wanna be Champion.. Mercedes bad is Still ahead.
“Red Bull have the dominant car at the moment”, note ‘car’ not ‘driver’.
What about Sebastian Vettel replacing Lewis Hamilton? Would be a great replacement I think
Have to say they printed that Board with Suit changing super fast....
Two years now Mercedes new engineers designed a bad driving car and never listen to or Address Lewis complaints about the car, and people wonder why he is leaving Mercedes SMH.
Can Lewis do a 24-25. I got to place my bet when the season starts in for 24 man.
Lewis's career is unmatched and he raised the bar for everyone. At this point, he is doing it for the plot and the 8th title.
No matter who's fan you are, this is exciting
Something about this just doesn’t sit right with me…
Mercedes have fallen off the past few years during Red Bull's dominance. If you're going to be the "best of the rest" it makes sense to do it with Ferrari. The money, prestige, and well... it's Ferrari, the only team to have raced every year of F1's existence. Hamilton was always going to end up here eventually. So, why not now?
This is amazing. My fave team and driver joining forces. Wow.
4 mil per race weekend is reason enough for anyone.
Lewis, I hope you can create miracles! Gives me the motivation to continue watching F1! !
The real question is: Who will take the Mercedes AMG seat?
Latifi of course
ALBON
@@guapepenguin😂🎉👏🏽that was my guess as well. The g.o.a.t Latifi
Norris
@@tripsnap8948 dream worthy idea but unrealistic
Not shocking, George Russell and Hamilton did not get along and it was getting quite toxic. But Ferrari as a team suck...
Its like Steve Gerrard going to Man United. What more of a new can Sky give us... Jesus is this real or a marketing gimmick???
So the merc isn't fast this year
The chance to drive in Red, doesn't come easily.
hes been overshadows by Verstappen.. so why not grab a few headlines on they way out
no he don't have to leave that
I don't get it. It doesn't make sense to me, for both sides. But good luck anyway.
Ferrari have made 4 billion so there's one reason
I think Albon, Sainz, Ocon and even Schumacher as a stop gap are the contenders but mainly Albon and Sainz.
Great news for Lewis
Great news for Ferrari
Great news dying F1
Best news for his fans
agree with the 3rd one, i already made my mine to not watch f1 racing... err I mean f1 parade much this year, with this news I actually will tune in for 2025.
I get it, because Piqué has got a Twingo now.
Hahaha!Why?Money,money,money of course...all other explanations are sheite...
Not sure if this is a good idea from Ferrari's perspective. Hamilton doesn't seem that focused anymore last seasons.
I would argue it would spark a new flame with a fresh start!
would you be focused on anything if you know regardless of what you do it not going to work out?
@@luvwwe ask that Russell.
It's like Mclaren to Merc
2011/2012 Lewis was getting tired
2013 he looks so much younger and fresh/focused etc
He tried and lied about the Red Bull seat, but they said, No Thanks, we have a better driver. So he went to Ferrari LOL
Mick Schumacher bei Mercedes wäre auch interessant war er letzte Saison nicht ersatzfahrer ?
Time Running Out. He Wants That 8th Championship And Has Obviously Lost Faith In Mercedes. I Laugh Leclerc Kills Him Though And Max Keeps Winning The Championships.
Sainz Must Jump In With Max .. Perez Is Not Keeping Up.
This move put in trouble millions of fans, British and Italians used to be rival for decades... But now they Will be toghether against the Dutch.
Mick and danny ric and carlos
Like to see Norris in a Merc
2024 will be LH on SIM driving mode for the whole year.
Just the other day wasn't Toto saying everyone will regret Mercedes's tough days?
Another money move..
Poor Ferrari, poor Carlos
Where is Carlos going?
Alonso must go to Mercedes!
Chad Alonso to Merc, make it happen ....
Alex deserves that second Merc seat
Sir Hamilton up the stock by 6 billion dollars yesterday...........
and why is a really stupid question.....
He was robbed, also by Mercedes for not pitting 2021 abu dabi .....
If he loses every race he's still the greatest statistically
Why? I don't understand the move, Sainz should and deserved to stay there.
Now for the spaniard i don't really now were he can go ( maybe Sauber... future Audi team? )
he's gonna operate the transition to Audi so it will be with Sauber Alfa.
I personally don’t think Alex is going anywhere…. They obviously want to build the team around him granted, being on the same team with his really close friend would be really awesome to see but I just don’t think he would want to go to Mercedes.
This year's Mercedes can't be up to much.
I would of thought this news would have been announced during the later months of the 2024 season not before it starts, no scruples anymore by anyone.
No former world champion who has migrated to Ferrari has won a World championship with Ferrari - Alan Prost, Seb Vettel
Kimi was the last one to win them a title way back in 2007 (When Max and Leclerc were ten years old)
I only hope he doesn't go Seb's way !
Mansell?
hahahaha! Schumacher won with Benneton prior to move to Ferrari dude... what a trash comment.
Maybe Lewis have already a preview of the new car and was dissappointed.
Interesting development, he is switching after all
Just retire Lewis.....
Decade's wtf move
He also did last decade's wtf move with mclaren to merc. Now merc to ferrari. like what the actual FFFFFFF
It’s got to be Albon or Hulkenberg. Can’t see it go any other way. Unless Alonso manages to barge his way in. The 1st two names would be on the radar
6:31 Alex Albon
Awesome, Ferrari needs a great driver alongside Leclerc
Can he back off if Merc are competitive in 2024
Albon and Russell, that would look good!
So sainz loses hes seat?
Poor Hamilton ....he just dont realise yet in what mess is about to enter .....Mecedes was the team who could beat Red bull , the others are just for numbers out there ......the end of career for him
agree, leclerc also is too good of a driver for him
He can only drive when is is leading the pack!
The trick worked in 2013 when he moved to a Mercedes that would turn out to be dominant.
Might not work this time
It's possible he's been sold an idea about 2026 new regs similar to his meeting with Mercedes end of 2012
Okay but what about the coming season...the dynamic between George and Lewis Hamilton. Very interesting 👌
sainz to merc hopefully
It's like saying Erling Haaland signing for Arsenal.
its more like saying erling haaland is retiring
Still with the "robbed". Get over it already, Jesus...
Toto lost his way since 2021, he made the wrong decision in Abu Dhabi not allowing Lewis for fresh tires, then he put in the wrong hands the design of the new car which is mess, and also he contract Russell who is not a team player, maybe he will change, but now he is too anxious to win a race; Lewis made the right decision, he has to enjoy the dream of all drivers being a Ferrari driver, maybe he will not win anything but he will have some fun
Think is more a brand issue. WHO does not want to drive a Ferrari
Does Mick get a seat at Mercedes or Alban? Does Move to Williams?
Why don’t you people ask Alonso about the effect of his age! He’ll retire at the same age as Alonso finally does!!
The plan is to help ferrari build the 2026 car and also by 2025 most of the top teams would catch up to redbull so maybe challenge them in 2025
I see this as an absolute win for Ferrari.
It seems to me that Ferrari will stop their idea of an "All-Italian" team.
Just like in the Schumi era when he worked alongside Todt and Brawn.
1) It depends on what it is costing them and 2) it creates a tense driver battle that can hurt the team.
Yes great news and can be explained, it makes a lot of sense, if I try to be in Lewis mind I would think that alright I have one more chance to win Championship in 2024 with Mercedes but if the car is still not good enough then he will have another shoot with Ferrari in 2025, I do not think that Lewis want to be in F1 with the new rules as of 2026.
Alex Albon to Mercedes? Maybe?
You meant to say 7 of his 8 world championships.
That Hamilton guy is the most biggest massive F1 star and since 2007 lewis Hamilton is going to join Ferrari.
Being a ferrrai fan think its a great move
Why are they not mentioning Mich Schumacher who is already part of the Mercedes team. This is exactly the reason why Toto was keeping him
Nom partido
Ocon to merc. Book it.
Alonso is aiming at the Mercedes seat ofcourse
