seeing lewis at mercedes recently is heartbreaking for so many reasons because what do you mean he loves this team unconditionally, has the biggest smile on his face around the team members, posts gutwrenching instagram stories saying goodbye and explaining how much he'll miss the team and mourning their time together, takes them bowling every time they're in japan, does silly bonding activities with them, calls them his home and his family, wanted to retire with them and then stay forever as an ambassador and in return he gets nothing but emptiness, twisted set-ups, tyres that aren't at the right temperature, experiments, casual disrespect, a horrible car, a hot seat, no real information on the radio, bad strategies, empty platitudes and sniping words from toto that show just how little the 6 wdcs and 8 wccs and the 12 years mean to them. and still he says they were his family and he loves them and will always treasure their time together and it breaks my heart

i’m happy for Lewis going to Ferrari and that he's leaving a toxic environment and i am so so excited to see him in red, in a team that wants him, but then sometimes i see a sad edit of him leaving and it’s just truly devastating.

how he always said that Mercedes is his family, that it’s the place where he wants to retire from, that he cannot imagine not being a Mercedes driver. he was so loyal, he gave everything he had to that team and somehow, it just still wasn’t good enough. they didn’t listen to him, they excluded him, made him feel unwanted and alienated, didn’t prioritize him at all. it’s been so clear that he wasn’t part of their future plans, which was just heartbreaking.

and when he decided to take back his career and go to a team that clearly appreciates him for all that he’s achieved, they spin this whole narrative around, going completely against him. suddenly everything was an issue and a problem, his age, his attitude, his commitment and determination.

and still, he didn’t say a single bad word about them, always expressing how hard of a decision it was. the hardest he ever had to make. he makes sure they know how grateful he is, how proud he is of their journey and shared history, that he'll miss them tremendously and it just doesn't feel reciprocated at all.

and i can’t imagine how drastically the situation must have worsened for him to decide this over winter break, in such a short period of time. he was always so full of hope regarding the team, no matter how horrible the situation was. something broke his unwavering support and hope.

he built a legacy way bigger than any world champion in the sport, he built a legacy that is bigger than f1. and it still wasn't enough. he felt like he had to leave first, before he got left behind. and that is just gut wrenching. he's the most successful formula 1 driver in history and they just couldn't appreciate him.

Mercedes was his family. until it wasn't.

i just watched lewis' post qualifying interview and it's so odd. the vibes are so off at mercedes what's going on? what did he mean by 'i knew i would automatically lose two tenths'? how does that suddenly happen from fp to qualifying? not to sound like a conspiracy theorist or a delusion fan but i've never heard lewis like this before. is something going on behind the scenes because what the hell.

P1 in both FP1 and FP2…..please Mercedes let this man do his thing! Leave his car alone if he’s happy where it is….if I could set up a force field around his car I would do it! For the love of everything that’s holy….mercedes let him have this!!!!

even though qualifying is gonna be painful, I just wish Lewis would be set free to do what he does best and….

natalie pinkham talking about lewis leaving mercedes and saying it feels like ‘echoes of nico rosberg’…even in leaving a home they’ve always known, they are mirrors of eachother.

i think they’ll mirror eachother until they’re both old and gray, forever with this constant push and pull, intertwining then pulling away again. being unable to help themselves from mentioning eachother at every given opportunity but ducking away when they see the other around the paddock. talking with a 2-person space in between them.

doomed soulmates i fear
