Apparently, the Hamilton contract with Mercedes was a one year with an option for a second year. It really would not surprise me that he would decide if this is what l am getting then he would not take up the option after the actual one-year contract. Mercedes f*cked up and they have lost their man to Ferrari as a consequence.
The 2024 season is going to be a miserable year for Hamilton at Mercedes. As they would not be generous with equipment and he would be excluded from certain competitive information. As such his 2024 car is going to be a dog.Last edited by Used to be Starter; 1st February 2024 at 21:28. Reason: Fix my bad typing

It is widely thought that the Mercedes contract was One year with an option for a second. George Russell was offered the same deal up to 2025 as well as Toto Wolff. There is clearly something happening at the end of 2025 at Mercedes. Whatever it is, Lewis was not happy with it.
It could also mean Mercedes have given the team to turn things around by 2025 or else the team would be sold. The embarrassment is costing the brand dearly.
Ferrari stock jumped up by 5 Billion euros immediately after the Hamilton announcement. While Mercedes stock dropped at the very same time. Whatever the deal is between Ferrari and Hamilton, it is nothing compared to what Hamilton's international credibility is worth.
Fair point, we would see how it pans out. If the 2024 car is good enough to win the 2024 championship, Hamilton would do his levelled best to win it. As would Russell of course.Last edited by Nitrodaze; 2nd February 2024 at 17:27.
