Hamilton will leave Mercedes for Ferrari. A farewell that to team Of F1 German weighs quite a bit, as replacing a phenomenon of his caliber is not at all simple. The only rider who might not make the seven-time world champion regret is Max Verstappen. For this reason the ruthless court of Wolff towards Dutch. However, once he realized that the talent of Hasselt it was impossible, in the short term, Toto turned to his other pupil: Kimi Antonelli. However, the Italian does not have any type of experience. Without a doubt he doesn’t lack his virtues but thinking that he might not make the black king regret his debut in the top category takes on utopian contours to say the least.
In this case perhaps it was better to rely on the experience of Sainz, quick individual and very solid general line. However, it didn’t go that way, as the role of “stop-gap” was waiting for Antonelli it wasn’t for the Spaniard. Carlos who firmly harbors a longing: to become world champion in F1. To do so he will be forced to accept a job with a smaller team, Williams in pole, in the hope that tomorrow will offer him the chance to compete for the world title. Hamilton we said, still in Mercedes but with my head already on Ferrari. Lewis had renewed with the Three-pointed staralthough there was a clause within his two-year deal.
We are referring to the possibility of leaving after a season to move to another reality F1 or simply choose to retire. Apostille of the contract which foreshadowed unconditional trust towards Mercedes it was no longer there. Scenario that we can be analyzing the situation coldly, as the champions who don’t win are anything but calm. This is also the case if the springs are 39. Although the methods of abandonment were unexpected, the possibility that Hamilton if you looked around carefully it was obvious. Because of this Allison he does not define himself as surprised, being aware of the context.
F1: Mercedes-Hamilton, the fantastic story
After 4 months the technical manager of Mercedes talk about what happened. A matter already feared in his mind. The former Ferrari driver claims that the team Of Brackely was amply prepared for what then happened. Hamilton chose Ferrari. He did it because, following an accurate analysis of the near future, he estimated that the victory percentage was higher than Maranello. For this and also for the truckload of money from which he will be covered. For the image that his career will take being paid by via Abetone Inferiore 4 and why end your career on board the prancing Horse it always has its why.
If by mistake the Briton will also be able to acquire a further title and surpass the record he currently holds on equal merit with Michael Schumacher moving on to title 8 well… his story would take on mythological contours. But let’s get back to James. Distinguished guest at podcasts Beyond the Grid conducted by Tom Clarkson, the Briton doesn’t seem too happy with the way in which Lewis has made his future commitments known. This is clear from his veiled criticisms. Despite this, he certainly doesn’t make a drama out of it and on the contrary praises the skills of the pilot of Caribbean origin.
The two worked closely together for several World Cups F1, enjoying a lot of satisfaction. The fifty-six-year-old engineer from Louth, United Kingdom, defines Hamilton through his endemic characteristics: obsessive precision regarding set-up and driving, talent behind the wheel and tire management. Performance displayed with such brilliance that it leaves everyone speechless box. “Hamilton is the best racing driver that ever lived and I still think so“. The quotation mark makes the judgment perfectly James offers on the compatriot who will be missed like air.
We can add that the loss of such a pilot was difficult to digest. A bad blow on the general esteem of the team F1 who, in fact, understood that the work put together in recent years was not enough to retain such a champion. Nevertheless Lewis he had given ample evidence of his “stomach ache” regarding the path taken by the German team. The team did not follow his advice and continued to follow an incorrect path. The story ends here. However, it will remain in the annals and nothing will be able to erase the extraordinary results obtained by the duo Hamilton-Mercedes.
