Mercedes AMG and Lewis part ways (25)
But first reaction
Why now announced. (probably because it leaked) It does not make any sense for anyone involved (maybe Carlos). Entire (pre)season will be questions about Lewis, specially for Mercedes and nothing about new car/current season. Best guess everyone involved would have liked summer time, but someone decided differently. Can only see FOM leaking it and seeing Buxton being the first one dropping silly season bombshell ???, followed by F1.uno dropping the Lewis to Ferrari shortly after, don't think it is to far fetched (no one talking about worst PR day ever (Andretti news) anymore. Or maybe that is just my tinfoilhat
Winners: biggest for me George, undisputed nr 1 at Mercedes, after everyone last season was asking if he was good enough to be it. F1/FOM great story for them. Vasseur great line-up coming even if you do not win in 24.
Losers: Mercedes, totally blind sighted by Lewis, they thought they had driver line-up secured for 24/25. And I don't thing there is a bill of doubt in your team possibilities to win a WC in 24/25 than your star driver and 7 times champ announcing pre-season he is leaving for a team that at best can be seen as step sideways (not leaving for RBR)
Future:
- could be great for Lewis, winning in 25/26 (new rules, new chances) your 8th at Ferrari, but could also be easily be career ending as so many that switched or ...
- could be great for Charles, beating Lewis would put your status up as a great driver you do not even have to win WCC.

By Kidjr Go To PostOhhhhh shit let's go.Insufferable twat
Forza Ferrari
im so phoney
Probably contract implications but why would Merc even want Lewis driving for them this year?
Car will probs be uncompetitive anyway and Lewis not gonna be motivated to provide much feedback for the engineers

Still better than any alternative. Will show up in the weekends, drive and listen to his feedback but freeze him out in the factory for whats to come. Toto will need a new best friend.
By KP Go To PostGive it Mick t’end of seasonToto told everyone how good he was doing at the Merc Sim, so he is a sure lock for 25
But imagine Toto so mad, found loophole and did just that. Would look for SkyUk abbo just for that year lol
By FortuneFaded Go To PostLewis: "My tyres are gone""We are checking."
Engineer: "Yes Lewis, you are driving a Ferrari"
Haas FV-24 (livery) pictures: More black than last year ? Looking at more pics, like the mix of the three colours, looks good.
and interviews do sound as no hope for big improvement, wasted time money on last year upgrade. But RBR style lower SiS (side impact structure) which give room for different side-pots in-wash shape.

Albon title winning car 🫡
HorneyHorner or MeanHorner ?
rumour is he shouted loudly at Sergio to go faster. In seriousness lets wait what comes out of the internal investigation, assume they want to get to a conclusion quickly as possible at RBR.

NEWS: Red Bull has launched an independent investigation after allegations of inappropriate behaviour by team boss Christian Horner. The company confirmed this after questions from De Telegraaf: "We take this very seriously." Horner himself denies it.
Alex sounded rather positive about development and the step they made. Not overly bullish, but feel like Williams is happy with their winter.
FW46 pictures, some added white/red and lighter blue?

Lets say it will stand out at least. They all do not have to look like this, but one to really stand out is kinda OK for me.
