Schumacher (and Todt and his team) had to work for a number of years to get Ferrari to the top. I think Hammy will stay put. I also wonder what he'll be asking, as I think LEC will demand the same amount in that case. So I only see place for HAM at Ferrari when LEC goes.

OK, it makes sense that keeping pushing on serves no purpose and slowing down preserves the engine longevity, but it goes against a race driver's nature to "slow down" - they want to race rather than to cruise to the chequered flag. If, from hindsight, it would appear that Bahrain has set a trend, then it looks like Verstappen and his RB19 are going to totally dominate the field this season. Homework for other teams.

We all know what happened to Senna at Monaco with such a huge lead who just couldn't slow up.

The setback did not prevent Senna from becoming WDC that season. Senna and Prost won all 1988 F1 races (except for Monza, won by Berger: DNF for both Prost and Senna). Battle of F1 titans. First hand info about Senna's Monaco 1988 crash: 02:57 - 06:16:

I hope that someday something similar could happen between Hamilton and Verstappen. Different personae, but who knows. Here's the very interesting interview (by Rosberg) of Prost talking about Senna (see from 31:22 onwards):

I believe if the Merc should improve (tho' not very likely) up to the level of the RB then it may resume and we know that kind of rivalry brings in millions of extra viewers. |

Rumor is strong that Mercedes AMG is currently not negotiating a new contract with Hamilton. Maybe delaying negotiations is meant as an incentive to see this Spring if Hamilton is still worth getting paid ± 10 times Russell's pay. Or to leave the door open for replacing Hamilton by Leclerc or Norris in 2024. But if Hamilton ever wants to drive for Ferrari, he will need to take Italian classes, because down at Ferrari a lot of internal communication and public relations is in Italian.

Also F1 is a dog-eat-dog world. If you get paid dozens of millions of dollars for racing an F1 car, your team and sponsors want taste for their money with staff and tools put at your disposal, regardless whether you're the smartest, the most seasoned or the most decorated of the field.

But indeed a bigger paycheck is always a good motivation to lure LEC away from Ferrari.

LH is top 10 ever, and it's plain to see, so all arguments about him have an emotional motivation, not a factual one. Politics, politics, politics... |
