I knew it when they cared about the money more than his health in Vegas. I knew it when they royally fucked him over in Abu Dhabi. The blatant disrespect towards him has been going on for a while now. To say this boy has given his all to them. He even bought a house near Maranello, for what !? You've been on your own kid, you always have been.

expected the checo extension and yet... it still stings a little...

it's just... carlos as at the peak of his career, he's at his absolute best as a driver but from next year he'll have to be stuck at a mid -at best- team and it's just... unfair...

There’s something so sad about Ferrari being Carlos’s dream team and home for the last four years and not once has it ever loved him back. “Our team” and yet he’s constantly excluded from pictures and celebrations, “our team” and yet there’s only like 4 people who show up when he gets a podium, “our team” yet the TP says his wins were because of leclerc’s sacrifices and the CEO was too busy signing LH when Carlos thought he was going to continue with them next year. They never deserved you, Carlos.

I have always said over the years how much Lewis is a great driver, how much he has done for F1. He will join Ferrari and this is a sign of how much he believes he can do great things with us.

The hug that Lewis wanted to give him (Bearman) shows what a great champion he is on and off the track.

you've heard of Kimi being a factor in Seb signing with Ferrari for 2015, now get ready for Kimi being a factor in Seb locking himself into a 3 year contract in 2017 when otherwise he might have opted for 1 year and kept himself free to sign with Mercedes in 2019 when Lewis' contract ended and potentially won a couple more WDCs!

then they fired Kimi the next year and Seb was stuck there for two more hellish years. and they say romance is dead.

Stellantis, Repubblica e il Pd… il segreto di Pulcinella

Il segreto di Pulcinella lo svela la spina nel fianco degli Elkann, protagonista anche della convocazione in Parlamento del supermanager superpagato Carlos Tavares, Carlo Calenda, leader di Azione. “La realtà dei fatti è che Elkann si è comprato Repubblica, cioè il principale quotidiano della sinistra, e in questo modo da Landini al Pd la parola Elkann non viene pronunciata. E’ lì il problema. Noi abbiamo dato garanzie agli Elkann che sono costate agli italiani…C’è un tema che riguarda l’assetto proprietario di Stellantis cioè John Elkann”., ha detto Carlo Calenda a Rai news.

“E questa cosa non si riesce a dire – prosegue il leader di Azione – perché Elkann in modo molto brillante ha capito che basta comprarsi un giornale che gli è costato pure poco, e lo distruggerà alla fine, per coprirti a sinistra. Io credo – conclude – che questa battaglia va fatta al centro e a sinistra perché é una battaglia di tutela di 100mila famiglie”.

Ma sul “Fatto” di oggi, Calenda andava giù ancora più duro. “Su Stellantis non si è mai sbilanciato. Infatti credo che ci sia nella sinistra italiana un problema con gli Elkann e con i loro giornali, a partire da Repubblica. Elkann ha fatto una cosa geniale comprandola con quattro soldi, e distruggendola, così da coprirsi a sinistra. Questa però dovrebbe riconquistare il voto degli operai piuttosto che ingraziarsi Repubblica”. Nulla accade per caso, nella finanza ma anche nella sinistra.

He wants to win the eighth title, Ferrari wants to win and with Lewis they are stronger. He doesn't come to Ferrari to enjoy his retirement and it's important to have motivated people around, who want to win - John Elkann about Lewis to Ferrari

Kit do you not rep Charles anymore 😭

Of course I do he’s prime I just need a break from his team and that fucking dog

What I thought happened to the Carlos Sainz contract saga (I am not an insider I am just speculating based on the timeline and whatever comes out officially and unofficially) If you don't agree, dont come after me, make your own possible scenario. I'm just a bored F1 fan who has trouble falling asleep and making speculations to pass time:

--2023 Ferrari start contract talks with both Charles and Carlos since both of them have their contracts ending on 2024, they plan on announcing the renewal simultaneously probably in Monza (home ground and all that)

--obviously Charles gets offered a multi-year because I think he has a great management team around him and because he is Ferrari's golden boy, Mr. Todt of course secured a contract favorable for Charles because although he looks like a meek boy I think he is a very ruthless businessman and truly has Charles back, also after the 2022 debacle I think Ferrari wants to get back to Charles good graces. They probabaly just said yes to most of his demands.

-- Carlos gets offered a 1+1 contract which his team countered offer, I dont know how good a negotiator his cousin is but I guess talks slowed down because neither party is willing to back down so announcement gets delayed

--somewhere along negotiation with the Sainz camp, Lewis is reaching his limit with Merc and probably sent a feeler to other teams

--since talks with Carlos' management is going nowhere still, Elkann decides to try his luck with Lewis after discovering he is open to switching teams

--Lewis hits a breaking point with Merc and starts serious talks with Ferrari. Feeling things may be getting clearer with Lewis, Ferrari may or may not have tried to give a final push to Carlos with the 1+1 offer which his camp probably still didn't like and counter offered.

--Ferrari decides to announce the solo multi-year (I still hate Ferrari for making this a thing and not saying the actual numbers) contract renewal of Charles

--Ferrari decides not to renew Carlos' contract. Elkann & Vasseur decides to go full battle gear, all hands on deck negotiations with Lewis which he obviously appreciates and accepted.

--Lewis probably (ehem definitely) signed with Ferrari without giving a heads up to Toto. Ferrari was not planning on announcing Lewis' move the way it came out and it probably (ehem definitely) is leaked by Toto when Lewis informed him after the fact.

--Carlos, now seatless for 2025 gets a lucrative offer from Audi, he is not sure he wants to take his chances with a new team on the grid and decides to try with Redbull and Merc first which kept Audi hanging (I'm not sure how they really felt about that, but since they keep saying very PR friendly statement to the press about Carlos' situation with them lets just say they really want him in their line up)

--Redbull is not going to sign Carlos, there were definitely talks but I dont think Christian likes him that much (that guy has a hard on for Ricciardo) . Merc... merc is in a limbo (like their car) after Lewis drops them a bomb and now they dont know if they should take an early gamble with Kimi or sign a more seasoned driver first 'til Kimi is F1 ready, so they offer Carlos a 1 year (to keep an option open for Kimi) which obviously Sainz camp didn't like.

--So now, Carlos ends up having to choose between accepting the Audi offer (if they still have that offer on the table since Carlos kept them waiting for quite a while) and apparently the Williams seat, because I think its pretty obvious they are not keeping Logan.

And that's how I think it all went down 😂

Can we sleep now, brain?
