Carpokes

I have to wonder how George Russell will fair with Team orders and set ups with Lewis saying arrivederci and wandering to the red horse of Italia? With Hamilton moving on it bodes to see if there are a flood of shake ups in a few years. Silly season is starting extremely early and I imagine Max is just sitting back enjoyed the drama knowing he will have some of his main competitors working out new dynamics with new teams.

Will be interesting to see how Charles Leclerc does with Lewis as I assume Cheko will be out.

You've assumed correctly I think as it's now apparently official per Autoweek:

"It's Official! F1 Great Lewis Hamilton to Race for Ferrari in 2025"

Sainz to Mercedes?

Let's not forget that Mick Schumacher is still the reserve driver for Mercedes . The pairing of a German driver in a German car brand is enticing . He is quick and Lewis and George have both stated his work and feedback from the simulator has been excellent . Just another possibility .

Carlos Sainz is a very good driver and I hope he can continue in 2025 . If I had to guess he may end up at RB .

The one constant in F1is the drama.

Melodrama actually. Racing's soap opera as documented in the good "Drive to Survive" Netflix series.

That melodrama (along with the glitz and a FOMO on the current trendy 'Big Thing') is a large reason for the increased following in North America, much more important than the racing to many fans. The actual racing in F1 can be boring.

No kidding. The F1 coffers just got bigger - more drama = more publicity and free advertising!!!

I saw the allegation in an article last night but no mention had yet been made as to what the accusation(s) were, not that anyone couldn't figure it out!
