Toto is still Esteban’s manager so who knows 😂
I don't see how he can sell Esteban as a fit for the seat to the Mercedes shareholders given his performance against benchmarks in the Alpine the last 4 years.

To be fair to Kelly here, 1) you don't actually know that she hasn't give money herself and 2) I don't really see the issue with anyone with a large platform, be it a celeb or an influencer, sharing a charity link. She's not holding a gun to anyone's head to get them to donate, or holding fake charity auctions (yes, looking at you Isa...)
It’s more that she’s desperately pleading - she may well have donated, but she’s using a life or death situation to ask people to donate when she could easily save those animals lives herself.

Unpopular opinion: Bestie has ego waaaaaaay bigger than George

It’s just Ferrari have always been of the attitude that no driver is bigger than their team. That’s not really been Lewis’ style, historically. It’ll be a huge culture shock. And this seasons going to be insanely awkward

Honestly it feels a bit like you're just looking for things to witch about her for. I saw what she posted and it didn't seem any worse than any celeb I follow who reposts similar things. She does plenty of shady tit worth actually calling her out on, but it doesn't seem like she's doing anything wrong here imo 🤷‍♀️ Each to their own I guess.

Yeah I can’t stand the woman but in this case she hasn’t done anything. I’m always happy for people to spread awareness for important causes and as an animal lover I appreciate it tbh

I’d say this about any celeb who posted the same thing - but this is a WAG thread so seemed fitting to witch about her for it here rather than a rando celeb not related to F1…
 
Ferrari was pretty strong during the last races 🤔 otherwise agree that it’s probably more an issue with the support in the team or what they again didn’t change in 24
Exactly, and we really don't know when he arrived to the factory for sim and what he saw

I’d appreciate it more if she used her philanthropic background to save those dogs tbf

I don't think I ever saw them talk, now I want this pairing for chaos (and I like George, you know)
So many options for silly season bingo cards!

Whatever it was, there was clearly something going on in Merc that made Lewis feel like it wasn't where he wanted to end his career and he decided the pull of having "Ferrari driver' on his cv was worth more than he felt Mercedes were able to offer him.

As others have said, he does have a petulant streak, maybe with everything last season and perhaps them not convincing him this year would be any better, it won out.

Guess we'll probably never know the real truth as we'll likely just get some PR spiel as to his reasons.

Does make me thing Horner may have been telling at least something of the truth though, that an approach of some sort was made to RB last season...

Tbh I’d understand a move to red bull more from his pov. Last ditch roll of the dice with nothing to lose, in the best team. This just seems too much of a like for like move to be anything performance motivated

All in less than a year.
Although I'm still hoping this all is going to have some positive and interesting outcome that noone really expects for him, but right now he looks like an idiot. :rolleyes:

It's such a good example of someone torpedo-ing their own career

Thing is though, I'm pretty sure Red Bull would have said thanks but no thanks.
I know it's Lewis, but I doubt they want anything upsetting what they have with Max rn.

I know people think everyone must want Lewis if he came calling but I'm really not so sure that's entirely true, despite all his accolades. I don't think RB would be interested. I also don't think McLaren would willingly swap out either of their pair for him, they have their own long-term plans that revolve around Norris and Piastri. That's no disrespect to Lewis, but I don't think he would fit either of those teams' plans.

Ferrari on the other hand, well it's kind of an opportune moment for them. They've already locked in the driver they want long-term, they clearly weren't too bothered about Carlos and didn't want him long-term, they obviously have plans for Bearman in the medium-term - Lewis as a big name, big splash signing and bringing all his experience with him for a year or two probably worked for them and for Lewis, if he wanted out of Merc for his final year or two in the sport, well it was probably his only other top 4 team option.
