Thank you for finding the energy to do this one today. Your voice might not be back yet but your sense of humour is. Good on ya.
Glad you enjoyed it! Hope to be back properly soon!
@@FP1Will What a trooper. Well this is one piece of news you'd have to make a vid on even if you were at death's door..
When you realize, Toto was the last person to find out about this.
Edit: It`s a joke. Stop telling me this is not how it went down. No one cares.
The teams have been in development. The teams know the ways the wind blows.
The Petronas people may have not.
I think toto was actually the first one lewis call he was going to ferrari
@@ShirayukiRaito Really? I think Lewis was the first person Toto called, after he found out. But that is neither here nor there.
@@Nagi98 yeah thats why toto held a meeting with mercedes team a day before announcement
@@Nagi98Lewis told Toto the day before everyone else knew
You gotta respect Ferraris dedication to wrecking the reputation of potential and former world champions.
Haha I believe Ferrari will get their heads out of their ass sooner rather than later hahaha
Alonso & Vettel both got blown out pretty hard.
can't wait to see a 3rd added to the burn list.
@@3rdGenGuy also Kimi
@@ericwaweru4043 kimi atleast got a drivers championship
Why so many Merc tears?
This line up is the marketing dream team . The fastest F1 driver on the planet over 1 lap and female hearthrob vs the most successful driver in history
* fastest driver on the planet / fastest into the wall at every Turn 2
@@johnathonkeevers1530
Maybe he meant he's the fastest in qualifying, which sometimes is true, and sometimes it isn't.
However, you're right about him crashing more than he should.
If I was a cynical person I might say something like, after "Lights out and away we go," most drivers start racing whereas Charles is, too often, on his way to the scene of the accident.
Yes, saying he's on his way to the scene of the accident is an old overused _joke/line_ used by people, like me, who not only lack imagination but are too lazy to come up with something new.
How did you know Alonso was rejoining Ferrari in 2025?
LeClerc would be wise to insist on a Ferrari that Lewis is happy with.
Charles' development as a driver has been concurrent with the development of his car-so it has been the fastest he has ever driven. The other guy knows fasters rides.
Lewis in a Ferrari uniform is gonna be weird
You mean he's gonna look like Darth Maul?
Him in anything but the Mercedes colors will be odd
Ok Will, strip down and run a lap of Monaco 🇲🇨
Let's go Yuki "Tsilver Arrow" Tsunoda!
I want to be wrong, but I think this is a bad move for Lewis.
- Both teams are behind RB.
- Ferrari can get a good 1-off qually/race result
- Merc are more consistent across the season
- For either team to get one over on RB, both drivers need to work together
- Charles won't be a 2nd driver in 2025; George was playing that role but has no reason to keep that up in 2024
So unless the Merc has gone backwards over the winter (doubtful) or Hamilton is only after a few more race wins but doesn't care about the 8th WDC, then this is a very high-risk strategy. Or maybe he thinks he can do what Alonso and Vettel couldn't; I guess proving that he can win with a team they couldn't do it with could be tempting.
I agree with you, I think the main reason for this move to Ferrari was just a preference, he wanted to drive for Ferrari before retiring. If he gets the 8th, he makes history, if he retires, he does it from Ferrari, he checked the box, now he can say he`s done it all in this sport. Seals his legacy.
I think he just wants a few years at Ferrari before retirement, purely to say he drove for Ferrari in F1. No one has a good chance of catching RB, and Ferrari is just *the* team to retire at
Agreed on all points except one: the car.
It's entirely possible that Mercedes is still blindly throwing darts at the board hoping something hits a bullseye with the W15 and Lewis might be picking up on that already. You don't win 7 driver's championships and not learn a thing or two about car designs and engineering a competitive car. He himself recognized Adrian Newey knocked it out of the park with RB's design philosophy for the current ground effect era citing his exceptional understanding of aeronautics.
We might see yet another season of mixed results for Mercedes given they're starting basically from scratch, but I think it's more likely that the car still won't fundamentally be where it should to win races.
Regardless, this is a swan song move for LH. To finish out with Ferrari would be a nice end to his career regardless of winning another title or not.
The potential downsides are obvious in Lewis's decision to drive here.
The interesting upside is putting Ferrari's new development and strategy structures in contact with this particular pilot.
No
So does this mean that you'll walk around in a Speedo in Monaco?
Wasn’t it completely naked?
@@nikolaieh0624 I don't think the internet could handle that.
@@nikolaieh0624 It was naked, either way Monaco isn't ready for Will's speedo or his nakedness.
This one is a complete dumbass move, doesnt make any sense, but neither did his last move to mercedes
Yer but back then they had Ross brawn
😂. You said it. When he moved from Mclaren I thought he’d lost his mind. Let’s see if he can make it two for two with this move.
Why a dumbass move?
Salary: (way) bigger at ferrari
Potential 8th WDC: Roll of the dice, nobody knows if ferrari or mercedes will be faster in 2025
Challenge: Will be bigger at ferrari, a new challenge
Legacy: Again, a f1 legend 'needs' to have driven for ferrari
So I can't really understand how this is a dumbass move..
@@LeXx0r the joke seems to have gone over your head, grow up and come back later buddy
Fair enough. But... it's still Ferrari.
Sainz hates uncertainty, I wonder if talks between Carlos & ?? (Audi) might be more advanced than anybody knows?
Does this mean we are getting the video of you running Monaco naked then Will? 😂
(See comedy review for Monaco for reminder 😉)
Maybe he'll end up being in a similar situations to charles leclerc.....all pace but no wins
Thank you for this video will, lovely to get your take on it. Tho your metrics will appreciate it you need to get better so your in good shape for the season
That’s the plan!
Fernando makes perfect sense for Mercedes. Hire him for 2 years or 3 at most, while Kimi Antonelli goes through F2 and then the mandarory Williams phase, and once he is ready , drop Fernando for Kimi
I agree that Albon looks like the most likely option if you assume that Mercedes want a long-term Number 2 for Russel ... but the existence of Kimi Antonelli surely has to change that equation, and even if Kimi flops and never becomes ready , you can always just get Albon later, hire Fernando now and replace him with Albon after 3 years.
I agree. Alonso is the sensible choice. He’s got star-power, he’s a safe pair of hands, he’s on-par with Hamilton, he goes along well with Russel, and his timeframe is ideal for Mercedes.
Everyone is a Ferrari fan even if they are not Seb vettle
Nah, i like blue better as a colour than red and that includes on cars.
Who is this Seb vettle fella? 😂
I'm not never have been never will be
Hope you feel better soon Will! Looking forward to going through the season with you :)
Great vid! Also mad respect for doing this while you're clearly still not totally well. I couldn't believe it when I heard the news, and instantly thought how awkward it'll be for Mercedes this year.
Ham: Bonno, my tyres are gone! Bon: STFU.
I think whoever they are gonna put into that Merc, it's gonna be short term option, they got Antonelli in F2, in 5 years he is gonna be in Merc probably
5 Years is a long time in F1.
I honestly think he will be in F1 in 2026; 2025 If he wins F2 this year
I wish you to get better till the start of the season, and keep up your good work
I hope you get to feeling better soon! You sound rough. With that in mind, I will enjoy the image of Wesley Snipes in the thumbnail.😂
Imo not winning a single race last season was the straw which broke LH's back. He is far too competitive to tolerate that.
I can see Hamilton's experience and feedback helping with the car's (and Leclerc's) refinement.
It's nice to have you back, mate. I didn't mind your voice one bit. Content is better than none.
Ferrari confirmed it in a tweet about about 9pm European Standard Time.
Get well soon my man! Appreciate the vid despite the illness!
Great to have you back-ish! Get well soon
I truly enjoy your insight and commentary- helps us new “drive to survive” fans have more informed conversations with my seasoned F1 European friends who grew up with the sport!! Thanks
When you realise there was a promise in the Monaco 2023 comedy review about running around the Monaco grand prix track naked if the story about Hammilton going to Ferrari.... Yeah. That kinda bit you in the ass, yes. Lol :3
Oh I'm looking forward to seeing how much Ferrari strategy stuff this up. It's gonna be fascinating
Not a fan of LH, but I give him props for taking on the challenge of driving a Ferrari F1 car. It will be interesting to see how he goes in 2025 up against LeClerc. I feel for Sainz Jr, he had moments last year where he could show his talent and speed. Others have also linked him to Audi. I hope not, for his sake. He doesn't need to take part in a 3 year "building program" like Bottas, that doesn't seem to improve or build anything....
Do you seriously think Lewis wanted to leave?
F1 drivers simply want the fastest car to compete for championships. Mercedes clearly has the edge over Ferrari, especially with the upcoming engine regulations.
How do you think Mercedes would fire Lewis? Do you think that might look exactly like the current situation?
Do you really think Mercedes didn’t notice that Lewis lost to Russell and the year before Bottas joined to Rosberg? Without Bottas Lewis is currently 2-1 down over the last three seasons to his teammates (when not counting Bottas that Mercedes made sure didn’t race Lewis). While asking for top money… And Lewis is old (doesn’t help the Mercedes brand if you can hardly exit your car while your teammate has no issues), and has many demands. Indeed, a situation where you probably lose your seat. And Mercedes t lets him pull the plug himself.
@@valkenburgert 😂😂😂 you have written a whole load of nonsense
@@danielainger8666 You can throw at it all you like, fact remains Lewis loses to most teammates. Sure, his car made him be World Champion every he didn't but he consistently lost to his teammates. Last one being a random talent who just joined the top of F1.
Laugh, call me all you like, insult my mom, go for it. But that's fact and those fact remain regardless of what you say.
Which makes me question who is the one writing nonsense here.
@@valkenburgertI got cancer reading your comment 😅
@@WarayF1 Would you consider that nonsense if I’d have written it?
End of the day Lewis is 2-1 down in seasons won against his teammates over the last three years (not counting Bottas who was specifically signed to bot threaten Lewis) and Lewis now is gone at Mercedes.
And of Lewis loses to Leclerc all kinds of other excuses will be thought of. His age most likely. Luckily Lewis recently stated he feel better than ever. Funny how Toto said there was nothing between George and Lewis ontrack.
Carlos to RBR in 2025?
Was thinking that before all this happened
Yes please ❤
holy shit will. i figured your health was still pretty bad, but I didn't realize it was THIS bad. That throat sounds pretty damn bad. hope it gets better soon man. great video still.
This has got me thinking and now I’m pretty sure the redbull Lewis thing last year was real right? Lewis was clearly shopping for a team apparently and Redbull still needs an upgrade from Perez (likely gonna be Danny if we’re being honest)
Another excellent wee video Will. Really hope your better soon bud
Thanks so much!
When you're feeling better I hope you talk FIA/FOM/Andretti, even if it was expected it's still big news which has been completely overshadowed by today's news with Lewis.
Is bono coming with him.
I haven’t heard anything about it, but it’ll be weird hearing bono talk to someone else, same with Lewis talking to someone else.
Hope you are back at 100 % soon Will, your views are so refreshing
Just think about It, Ferrari as of now are going to have the only 2 7-time world champions of F1, Hamilton and Shumacher...
Mercedes
The amount of ferrari suit montages are too funny
First thing first: Will, I hope you get better soon and back to the snarkyness we all enjoy so much. I am looking forward to your coverage of both F1 and Indy again this year. Now I have a few predictions for 2025.
Perez will be out at RB. But all is fine as I think he can easily find a home in either the WEC or IMSA especially in an LMP2 car. I predict Tsunoda being promoted to Perez's old ride. If we want to get really funky I could say that Ricciardo goes lead driver at Alpha Tauri (or whatever it is they are calling themselves now) with Liam Lawson fitting into Yuki's old seat. But let us not get that crazy yet. I actually think Sainz should get Yuki's seat and the lead drive at Alpha. Ricciardo will stay as second driver with him. I think in 2025 that Piastri will jump from McLaren to Mercedes and go second to George and Lawson moves to Piastris seat with a full time jump into F1 finally. Albon could join Gearge at Mercedes but I do not see him wanting to be second driver.
Great insight. Hope you recover and feel better soon.
Thank you!
Will, you are a hero and a legend for doing this, but please take care of yourself now. We all hope those dulcet tones come bouncing back to announce Haas rebranding as Pepsi in two weeks.
Hope you're feeling better soon! Just as well we don't have a triple back-to-back coming up starting this week. Take care of yourself.
I suggest a generous slug of whisky, a teaspoon of sugar or honey, topped up with hot water that's come off the boil. Assuming you're not taking meds, natch. It should soothe your throat and help you get to sleep. Works for me!
Now with a potential seat up for grabs, anyone can take it, but this may be the rise of an incredible talent, a chance for someone to grow into a world champion, the possibility of a real opporunity for someone overlooked by the F1 world to really shine, a possible tour de force driver to muscle past the competition and stand out as an F1 hall of famer...
Or they could instead give the seat to Mazepin for a laugh; I hope they do that.
Let's not forget one thing.
Mazepin tested the W10 in 2019.
The time he set during the test, compared to the previous week qualifying on the same track, would had put him P2 on the grid, right behind Bottas, and in front of Hamilton, Vettel and Leclerc.
Also, his "friend" Mick (Schumacher) is Mercedes reserve driver.
Would like to see albon or sainz at merc and whichever isnt in the merc should be in the red bull, i always rated albon well but when he got close to a result he was taken out
My dad, being a vettel fanboy, says vettel will join merc...
His reasoning, a german 4 time champ, in a german team... altho his explenation is decent i doubt it due to vettels absence last year... altho i would like it to see it happen
Hülk, digga
So that he can finally get that podium and hopefully a win
Hamilton's signed a multi-year contract. Whether this is a good move or a great move depends on how long it is. If it's like 2 or 3 years, then it's a great move - Ollie Bearman (or another Ferrari Driver Academy driver) will be able to spend one or two seasons in lower formulas then move on to Haas or whatever to gain experience until Hamilton vacates the seat for him. I don't believe any of them would be ready to step into a Ferrari seat before then. I assume that's the plan from Ferrari's end. And if there are issues with developing their academy talent. they'll still have the option or re-signing at a minimum one of the top ten drivers of all time.
4:16 with recent news from the Rolex 24, you could've included a Kingpin joke in here...
Take care and get well soon!
Geez buddy you've been sick for a while.. ouch.. but hey at least you made this vid. You couldn't miss out on the biggest news in F1 history since...
I think the problem with the second seat at Mercedes now is that Toto doesn't want a long term prospect, whoever gets the seat is going to be a placeholder until Andrea Kimi Antonelli is ready for it.
Lewis knows what he's doing, he's at the very least realising a childhood dream of driving for Ferrari before he retires. He's a 7 world champion 😊
"posting captions such as 'can't touch this.' apparently, Ferrari can"
Wishing you a speedy recovery Will
As a PG fan i would love this opportunity if it had occurred maybe two years ago but with things as they are before i go hoping for any gasly merc miracles ill wait to see the performance of each car on track
Hamilton at Ferrari will be interesting with the strategies haha, I think Antonelli could replace him at Mercedes
Ah so TOTO has a table to smash again
when you talked about the falling out with rosberg and alonso, i thought but they were never teammates and then i realised lewis was the one not getting along with them
That's not fully correct. Alonso always managed to piss every team by the time he left. And Nico, well, he is still crying.
Name another driver that got pissy with alonso. not even piquet jr hates him. i get it you're a fan and got upset but i deal in facts toots @@melindam2776
4:16 curb stomped Roscoe is wild wtf bro
As a RB (and Max) fan, I’m just enjoying the show Toto and Lewis and Merc are putting on for us.
Bring on the Simpson bully meme...HA HA!
I've watched this video so many times now, I absolutely love your humour. This is going to be my first season watching F1, I already can't wait for the Comedy Reviews coming up 🤭
Welcome aboard! Hope you enjoy!
I don't think it's true, this is a hot rummor made so everyone would stop talking about Andrettis failed F1 bid
didn't age well.
It’s is true look it up
No mention of mick making an F1 comeback?
Your voice sounds like a Honda F1 engine! 🤩
Get well soon!
I bet F1 are mega relieved something took the spotlight off their Andretti snub.
I wonder if Stefano called Fred to ask for him to leak the news.
And it really works for them since F1 fans have the memory of a goldfish. But I already made my decision to not follow F1 this year and the following years until there's an 11th team. And also sports car racing having become a lot more interesting and competitive, I definitely won't be bored.
They'll Un-retire Vettel. You'll see.
Or Mick. 😂
While they are at it, tell em to bring back the f-ing V12s from retirement.
@@Nagi98
I'll settle for the V10s if I really have to... :-D
Great music. Sources?
Fair play to LH. He could easily lap out a few more seasons with a clearly struggling team (struggling by their standards) but he knows what’s happening there better than anyone, and getting out. Also, what F1 driver wouldn’t want a seat at arguably the most famous team in the sport. Wonder if this is a sign that Toto is going to sell up 🤔
#blessed + #unblessed, what will come of this?
You sound really really sick... get well sooonnnn
This feels like one of those weird lineups you see in the F1 game after a few seasons
Man I’m actually angry that Ferrari can just ya know produce a race winning car within the past 10 years without cheating…
Fred, "Lewis, Charles is faster than you."
Don't see what all the fuss is about, so a fading star is going to a average team in the twilight of his career, so what. It will be interesting to see if Charles and Lewis can drag the best out of each other as teammates however.
Does this mean merc will change their cars back to silver now?
This will go down in history
He'll be looking at the back end of the car he used to race with
It'll be red bull, the merc then Ferrari
Get well Will!
That Hamilton guy he always is the guy that's always been the main talking point of F1 ever since 2007 when he sent shock waves still felt to this day.
Your existence isn't pointless. Appreciate the awesome vids ♥️
Good one, Carlos or Alex for me.
I hope Carlos does an awesome season before giving the 🖕🏻 to Ferrari.
get well soon!
Get well soon Will.
lewis caught mercedes in an awkward moment. they need some more time of kimi antonelli so imo a short term solution like alonso would benefit the team and also gives george some more time to grow into a teamleader role
Vettel might as well throw his hat in the ring
He could be good for a year to give Mercedes time to find the best option for the new regs in 2026
I hope Carlos don't end up being on the sidelines. I hope he finds a place in a good midfield team atleast
Corona hit my boy Will hard i guess😢
Get better soon❤
Week 6 and counting of having no voice lol ☹️
@@FP1Will Yeah bruh my mother has a "dry cough" for a year now.... just doesn´t go away man...
That doesn’t fill me with much hope…
I hope Ferrari told Lewis he is the number 2 driver. I think Charles will do well at Aston Martin. But again, I stress I hope Ferrari told Lewis he will be the number 2 driver when Fernando rejoins the team in 2025.
Odd this happens the day after Andrettis news blew the internet up, huh? 🧐
lets wait and see how sir lewis reacts to full wets on a dry track .
hehehe its a ferrari classic !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Get well soon Will
I think this opens up a third championship of sorts for this year: a chance for non top team drivers to shine & win that Mercedes seat…
Feel better Will !!!
I reckon they should bring Mick Schumacher back, he was underrated and had an unlucky couple seasons, and he is merc reserve driver right? so at least a return to williams would be nice
Just realised kimi antonelli skipped the f3 to join f2 , if he wins in his first try mercedes can snap him for 2025 just like Hamilton to mclaren in 2007
Get well soon man
From Ferrari's stand point this doesn't really make sense. I know ham is incredible but so is Leclerc and they even had problems with Sainz. If you want to beat max you NEED to have a clear hierarchy so that the number 2 guy doesn't take one point away from the first guy. I'd be extremely surprised if ham and Leclerc don't get into each others way pretty often and at the end of the season end up with a roughly 50/50 point score. That's not going to win you championships
Nando for 2 years at Merc followed by Kimi Antonelli.
The Tifosi's spider climbing the walls and speaking unknown languages right now.
Toto believed Mick Schumacher was such a great driver right? Well dont you give him a seat yourself mr Wolff?😉
