#i’ve always cared more about ferrari as a team than ferrari drivers but the 2025 pairing may change that we’ll see

Hot take: Lewis needs to retire while he’s ahead 😬 it hard enough to watch him get less favor than George and get dog walked by other drivers but then in to watch him in 2025 get mistreated by fuckarari will be impossible. Like pls leave before you end up in therapy with Charles 😭😭

i hate to say it but if the man wanted to quit while he was ahead, the time for that has passed. if he retires now, it’ll seem like a defeat, which i don’t think he wants based on what he’s said about his eventual retirement. it’s definitely been difficult to watch how mercedes has treated him, but i have faith in ferrari. the ferrari team have shown him companionship in the past, even showing up to congratulate him for podiums in the past few years when nobody from mercedes was there. not to mention lewis has an extremely longstanding relationship with fred vasseur. he won the f3 euro series for ASM in 2005 and won gp2 for ART grand prix in 2006, teams that were both founded and owned by fred vasseur. they’ve known each other for longer than either of them have been in f1, and they have a great relationship. i’m hoping this means lewis will be treated well by ferrari and find his footing again. the tifosi have already started showing support for lewis as well. we’ll see how it plays out and what the 2026 car looks like, but i don’t think it’s a good idea for next year to be his last season.

send your f1 hot takes!
