Is Lewis Hamilton leaving Ford?

🤣🤣🤣

It’s nice to see they’ve still got it.

neonfox65 said:Joe, come on—how old was Mansell when he finally grabbed the title?

I'm talking about the gap. Even if he'd won back in '87—that gap would only be 4 years. That’s half of the massive 8-year drought Hamilton's stuck in right now.

He’s just a worn-out driver that none of the big teams will ever... NO ONE...

What does a dry spell even matter when Mansell proved you can still snag a championship later in your career if you've got a decent car under you...

Look, Mansell was a phenomenal driver who had plenty of championship shots earlier on. But honestly, you probably don't remember that because you weren't even born yet—not that you're claiming anything other than being a recent F1 fan. Unlike him, Lewis Hamilton never really had a shot at a title without having an absolutely dominant car under him. Even back then it was a struggle, and eventually, he just pulled away from Hamilton.

Please, don't go throwing Mansell's name around for nothing, and definitely don't try to drag him down to Hamilton's level.

👍 Spot on. That Briton was doing absolute miracles out there...

Honestly, who cares what they think? What kind of drama is this? Does Lewis Hamilton not have three titles? Where else is he going to go? Not happening.
Massa doesn't have any, but he drove for Ferrari, cruised through scary moments like the one we saw today, and landed a great new seat. Everyone likes him—even if they don't love him, nobody hates him. Felipe baby 👍
And it’s actually pretty cool seeing them mess around together, without bringing up all that stuff about shady deals and mercenaries.

"Once they sat down, Matijac likely knew exactly how the meeting would play out. Word is, it ended abruptly when a livid Lewis Hamilton called the boss a son of a bitch and stormed out of the room."

wiredscout14 said:The internal drama at Ferrari is reaching a boiling point. This latest report from Motorsport Magazine dives deep into the tension currently simmering within the garage, and it’s far from pretty. It seems like everyone is looking over their shoulders, waiting for the next inevitable fallout. The core of the issue isn't just about technical setbacks; it's about the breakdown of trust between the drivers and the engineers. When you have personalities this large clashing in such a high-stakes environment, things tend to get messy. You can practically feel the friction through the screen. It’s one thing to struggle with car performance, but it's another entirely when the atmosphere becomes toxic. If the leadership can't get a handle on the egos in the room, all the engineering genius in the world won't save them from a disastrous season. They need to fix the culture before the results become an afterthought.

As they sat down at the table, one guy likely had a much better grasp of how this whole thing was going to play out than the other. Matijac probably saw the writing on the wall. Word is the whole meeting went south when a livid Lewis Hamilton told the boss exactly what he thought of him—calling him a son of a bitch before storming straight out of the room.

Maybe...

Honestly, Matijac acted just like any smart employer looking to cut staff without paying out severance. He basically forced my hand to resign 🙏 🙏 🙏

vividlynx68 said:Basically, Matijac acted like any smart employer looking to cut ties without paying out severance. He played him perfectly to get that termination 🙏 🙏 🙏

As if. Lewis Hamilton is just a green kid who would let himself be baited into leaving $50 million on the table... yeah, right.

Way to go, Matijac. The guy knows exactly what he wants and doesn't take any crap

He’s doing massive things over at Ferrari

The first big move is already done—he wouldn't let Ferrari get held hostage by those parasites

ruggedhawk20 said:Kudos to Matijac. The guy knows exactly what he wants and isn't playing games.

Uradiče is doing big things with Ferrari

The first major move is already done. He didn't let Ferrari become a hostage to that parasite.

Do you think it’s actually doable to start your own F1 team?

steelmaker83 said:The rumors about Mercedes potentially becoming a customer team are gaining traction—though, frankly, given their recent trajectory, it’s hardly a shocker. It seems the idea of them supplying engines to others is back on the table—a move that would certainly shake up the current hierarchy.

Please... he came across to me as a pretty poor bluffer during that interview. But, if he actually lands at Mercedes, I'll be the first one to congratulate him. ☕

Unless those tires they're pulling leave you with nothing but Caterham or Marussia as actual options. 😁

Would he really risk his severance package just to be an asshole? His ego has always been far too massive for that kind of move—not that anyone expected better.

steelmaker83 said:Oh sure, Lewis Hamilton is just some green kid who’d let himself get rattled and leave 50 million on the table easy... yeah, right...

What do you want?!

You got exactly what you asked for. He's not a mercenary anymore.

Turns out you didn't even need those polls—he basically fired himself from being a sellout.

🙂

Matija seems like a more civilized version of Flavio Briatore to me

steelmaker83 said:Oh, come on. Lewis Hamilton is such a green kid. He’s the type who would let himself get provoked and just leave fifty million bucks sitting right there on the table. Seriously.

He’s just not a heavy hitter behind the wheel...

ruggedhawk20 said:Kudos to Matija. The man knows exactly what he wants and doesn't take any nonsense.

Urdan is doing big things with Ford.

He’s already taken the first major step. He didn't let Ford become a hostage to that parasite.

👍Exactly. A total parasite... Get a real driver behind the wheel and we'll be seeing championships again.

ruggedhawk20 said:What on earth do you want?

You got exactly what you were looking for. He's not on the payroll anymore.

Honestly, you guys didn't even need those polls. He just went ahead and proved he was a total crybaby on his own.

🙂

😁Spot on. Well written...
