Hamilton is the catalyst for division in a team.

Bingo.

The established tifosi bleed Ferrari, and since Charles bleeds Ferrari red, he is their adopted child. If Lewis thinks he has or will inherit any special dispensation that supersedes their precious Shal, he will be in for a disappointing surprise. Lewis would have a much better time at Ferrari adopting a Barichello pov, but that wouldn’t be a good look for his marketing apparatus.

Who in their right mind would go into Ferrari looking to be the second driver when not contractually obligated to do so? Crazy talk. You drive to win.

LH, driving abilities beyond any doubt throughout career, fabulous to watch with many memorable performances, he's given fans many absolutely brilliant races.
Character IN manipulation when going head to head though notable against Alonso, Rosberg and Button as team mates, clashes with Massa and Verstappen in opposition. No innocent is he, and provides conclusive evidence as those crashes etc are scrupulous in their absence UNTIL it gets to something of a championship or position contest, then gets dirty.

His, fiend and synthetic ambivalence about being beaten by GR, good illustration of his method in psychological positioning in this situation.

Looks like it's going to get sh*tty against CL over the next two years as he'll not view himself in support role.

Allright, enough going in circles.
What apparently needed to be said about Team Lewis 2025 has been said, and it involves no green colors. It is only adding repetition and it will probably just be unceremoniously deleted in this thread.

Merc are going to put 150 fans' names on Lewis' car for his last race with them in Abu Dhabi

You all are failing to mention that Lewis also is leaving as a driver with a great team spirit. He bas no qualms about helping his teammate. George and Kimi on the other hand are the opposite of this!

It will be squable between the two and a huge mess in the constructors next year!

Kimi? As in Kimi Antonelli? He hasn't even raced in F1 yet, how would you even know? Did you come from the future?

And don't say F2. That series is not at all representative of how drivers act in F1, as there's no WCC pressure.

It's very peaceful in the midfield...

Last time Lewis left a team it marked the end of that team's fortunes for a very long time. I wouldn't be happy if I was a Mercedes fan

The only post with a sense of reality in the past two pages.

If you believe that Hamilton has magic powers then sure, reality. It worked out for him one time switching from McLaren to Mercedes.
Mercedes fans should be happy because the vast majority of the toxic fan culture surrounding the team will be heading for the Tifosi instead.

Well said, and not thrilled about that being a Tifosi myself. lol

EDIT: I should clarify I'm not thrilled about certain elements of the fanbase invading Ferrari topics, not the general idea of Lewis coming over.

That person makes all kinds of hot takes that seem entirely inexplicable.

I am going to hold a popcorn bucket to see that huge mess, at Ferrari next year.

It takes two to tango and so far, George has proved, he isn't one for tangos, on track or off track.

It's very sad how Hamilton fans have turned on Antonelli already - who is a huge Hamilton fan himself and has always praised and looked up to him...

Russell and Antonelli will be fine, as will Hamilton and Leclerc. Thank goodness F1 drivers don't have the same rude mentalities as their fans.
