I'm trying to think of any driver I've disliked enough to say I 'hate' them, I'm struggling, the only driver that comes close is Max with his attitude of let me pass or we crash, but when it happens the other way starts crying like a little child.
Elkann will embrace Lewis Hamiltons diversity and inclusion projects. Lewis will be getting paid $100 million USD per year. That doesn't include bonuses.
It's not how start but how you finish.
That money would have been better used on getting top enginneers and top simulation tools and develop around your own champion like Leclerc.
In my opinion, Elkann is a delusional tool to get deal done unless it can give him any political leverage with the FIA and F1.
Getting somebody else champion instead of making your own legacy and don't get me started on Hamilton political project which people are alienated to.
The best response from Leclerc and Sainz duo is to win both championship this year if the car permits it. I can't believe he went to get the #1 enemy from Mercedes in the last 10 years.
I hope this deal will make Leclerc shine even more when the racing starts between both of them.
#F1 | It’s been reported that Lewis Hamilton’s contract negotiations with Ferrari indicated that he wanted several agreements to ensure the future of Mission 44. And John Elkann proposes to develop Lewis Hamilton's empire. An agreement that could reach 400 million euros.The current agreement with Ferrari would be 80 million euros for 2025, plus an option for 2026. With about 20 million euros issued in the form of bonuses for Lewis’ initiatives.
The other part of the agreement: John Elkann proposes to create a joint investment fund with about 250 million euros, via the Exor family business, in order to invest in Lewis Hamilton's projects and transform him into an ambassador for his own brand. 🚨
$$$ Lotta cash that!

Another fake post from a fake fan. Ferrari's brand doesn't need any more exposure, people know about Ferrari and love the scarlet cars. Doesn't matter if they follow F1 or not. From racing games to car shows, everywhere Ferrari is popular.
Ferrari bringing Lewis because he is a huge asset for any team. Lewis, the most successful British driver and statistically the most successful F1 driver, will attract attention. Lewis fighting for his 8th title at Ferrari may incentivize people like Newey to come here.
But you are just a bitter RB fan. That's why you can't fathom the implication of Lewis being here. You are simply trolling, just like Brembo, and it's getting pretty tiresome.

II Corriere dello Sport today, Fulvio Solms writes that Hamilton's arrival at Ferrari was certainly not welcomed with a toast from Charles Leclerc and his entourage. "If Leclerc stays ahead of him he will be a hero. If he keeps up with him, his reputation as the predestined will tarnish. The Monegasque and his clan were disappointed and shocked by Ferrari's decision, which at the time of the extension a week ago did not imagine what was about to happen."

Indeed, but the problem is with the MASSIVE money investments into Lewis and his brands etc from our chief - they would need to make sure Lewis is not embarrassed on track and protect their investments. We will see how it plays out but Lewis will have alot of power and leverage behind the scenes!

I can not believe an F1 top driver closes his visor without thinking about winning races, certainly not for a multiple world champion like Hamilton. I'm not sure how Elkann thinks but Hamilton will 100% go for race wins and championships if Ferrari give him the tools
It's not how start but how you finish.
This will be the strongest driver pairing of any team in many years.
Perhaps Adrian Newey could finally be convinced to join Ferrari?
