The Formula 1 Thread šŸŽ

I donā€™t know myself. Just last month when Bernie said something similar Seb was quick to shut the rumor down. This time, not so much? Could be accurate I guess - no smoke without fire, etc.

I think his Ferrari contract is through the end of 2020 though, so maybe another year as a final attempt before all the big 2021 changes come in?

If he does go this year I think Bottas is the obvious target for Ferrari. His Merc contract is up at the end of this season and if they donā€™t tie him down to an extension soon heā€™ll be a strong contender for the seat. Especially if Lewis isnā€™t going anywhere and the team (despite what they say publicly) continues to see him as ā€œWingman Valtteriā€.

I havent stumbled onto this rumour just yet. It wouldnt surprise me, but I know he is signed till end 2020

Bottaā€™s or Max to Ferrari. Most likely Bottas

I dont see Kimi going past 2020. He is already the oldest driver on the track. And as much as I love him, he is under performing and we need more new blood.

Kimi is faster in a Sauber than most youngsters in far better cars

maybe Lewis will go to Ferrari? If he retires.

Depends on whether Lewis decides heā€™s had enough of winning, and wants more struggles in his life. Honestly, why move other than to tick the ā€œI drove for Ferrariā€ box? He wonā€™t commit for a long stay, and Ferrari will need to fork out a stupid amount of money to even get him there. Not worth it for either party, imho.

Lewis has shown interesting in driving for Ferrari to check the ā€œWas a Ferrari driverā€ box, but first he wants to hunt down titles 6 & 7. This may mean (and honestly this is what I think is going to happen), than Hamilton will run out his contract at Mercedes and sign a short 2-3 year deal with Ferrari to just top off his career before retiring and working on ā€œBrand Hamiltonā€

Thatā€™s exactly my point though. Great for Lewis, but does it make sense for Ferrari? If they have the fastest car and he can win a championship or two, sure. But if theyā€™re still struggling, a short stint from an almost-retired Hamilton may just damage both their brands.

I AM GOING TO SPA! I am so excited. By a weird coming together of circumstances I managed to make a trip to spa work for the F1. It is absolute at the top of my bucket list and I am beyond excited. I do not think I will believe it until I am there.

I hate you little right now! That is one track I would love to see. SO I demand loads of pictures!

I hope not, it was enough that I had to deal with Vettel at Ferrari :stuck_out_tongue:

So jelly!

a 7 time world champion at Ferrari? Wonā€™t be the 1st time

i am very jealous of that. I would love to go.

If i my ask how much will it cost?

I got lucky that my friend and I were invited to Germany. So we will be spending time there without the need to worry about food or lodging. Then we will spend about a week in Belgium to go to Spa.

The initial planning is putting it around R25k

that is for flights, f1 ticket and accommodation in Belgium for 7-10 days
