Conspiracy theory at best.GrizzleBoy wrote: ↑08 Nov 2024, 14:30You'd have thought Toto was talking about himself, given Lewis has multiple wins this year and had to have things like sabotaged races in Singapore just for George to even get a sniff of leading him in the WDC in his worst year in F1 ever.

Car designers don't know what they're doing.
Mechanics/engineers can't set up the car and/or keep building parts of it incorrectly on one of their cars and forcing pit lane starts.(George better hope they're not doing his car next year!)
Team principal has basically been irrelevant for years.
Current lead driver can only barely manage to beat Lewis in his worst ever year in F1.
Hoping for a rookie to replace Lewis.
Not looking good for Mercs shelf life, tbh.

Shhh, don't question the story
"Cognitive sharpness" and "shelf life", I'm sure those went over well on the socials.Lasssept wrote: ↑08 Nov 2024, 13:57Torger Christian Wolff opens up on the 1+1 contract, says "Everyone has a shelf-life":
https://x.com/sim3744/status/1854835709779083667I like the situation (Lewis leaving for Ferrari). It helps us because it avoids the moment where we need to tell the sport’s most iconic driver that we want to stop.
There’s a reason why we only signed a one-plus-one-year contract. We’re in a sport where cognitive sharpness is extremely important, and I believe everyone has a shelf life. So I need to look at the next generation.”
It’s the same in football. Managers like Sir Alex Ferguson or Pep Guardiola. They anticipated it in the performance of their top stars and brought in junior players that drove the team for the next years.

Hamilton answered with a blunt and unhesitant “no” when asked if he had been approached by Ferrari. He also rejected suggestions that Mercedes’ poor form in the past two seasons was playing a part in his decision-making process.
I recall Xpensive(RIP) and Segendum saying the same thing in 2012.
I must have missed out on Hamilton driving for Ferrari since January 2024... Could have sworn it's January 2025AR3-GP wrote: ↑08 Nov 2024, 16:22May 2023:

That is indeed the question for Toto
