WTF ? Between Eddie’s look in this video and your comment , I realized I hadn’t checked in , in quite awhile. For those wondering - he’s got an aggressive form of bladder and prostate cancer.

The fact is Ferrari wouldn't have based their decision on signing hamilton just on his previous title winning seasons. A lot more goes on behind the scenes and has to have the green light from very high personnel that have considered figures/stats that most people commenting cant even comprehend. Most people go on like it's as simple as rolling the dice and hoping for the best.

[@ShindigTrader47Sundeck]

I still think Hamilton has somehow developed some kind of mythical status with his followers and people just don't want to accept, he's not 21 any more and though there are freaks of nature (possibly Alonso) the most likely answer is that he's just softening a touch.. Still very fast. Still extremely talented but as I've said before, in a sport separated by 10ths and 100ths of a second, he's dropped from regular No.1 to regular 5th - 8th.. Saintz (with the same car) is a regular No.2-3 with the odd No.1. Saintz was the man to continue a Ferrari dream team. Leclerc is still young and very strong but Hamilton will cost them constructors points compared to Saintz. Let's see if Im wrong...

[@y00t00b3r]

[@donaldfarquar]

Love Alonso but he's not the driver he was 10-20 years ago either. Even a few years ago when he was Hamiltons age, he didnt exactly smash Ocon. It's just hidden more being against Stoll and will be replaced by Yuki when he retires, so it's not as noticeable.

[@lancealex382]

F1s greatest loss is the commercial and sustainable elements have overtaken the spectacle and to some degree raw driving feel and skill. Too many drs reliant tracks, and reliance on power delivery, excessive tyre management and driving aids over feel and reflex. Like everything that's dumbed down to appeal to the masses

[@krazykkarl]

Which is so ridiculous, all motorsports exist to burn up petroleum faster

[@valydobos6485]

I only wish that with all this "sustainability" struggle, we will reach a point where we can reintroduce the "sustainable" v10 engine and get rid of the electricity, making the cars smaller and more nimble again. This would also highlight the real talent in the drivers. I wouldn't also mind a little competition between more tyre manufacturers. There must be a way to fabricate more durable tyres so that we won't need to watch such races as Monaco 2024... Merry Christmas everyone! 🎅

[@jamesevans2702]

What🤣🤣. These cars have no driver aids. The eras your probably being nostalgic about did👍

[@lancealex382]

@jamesevans2702 have you seen the steering wheels compared to the 90s. They can change brake balance corner to corner, differentials, they have engine modes, battery deployment and of course drs (which I actually quite like for some tracks). A Tron minded driver can have the advantage. Teams can decide to deploy more power at the expense of additional wear but brake bias micro management especially can make a big difference. Nico Rosberg talks on this.

[@Cristorbius]

I think if Ferrari provide Lewis Hamilton with a car that is fast in a straight line and Lewis trusts to behave itself in the corners, he'll be a very happy bunny indeed! I know you can say that for any driver... but Lewis isn't just any driver. The stats don't lie. He's the best racing driver of all time and is still very much a supreme driving talent. Only a fool would dismiss his skill, experience and abilities. He's going to be pumped and excited to be joining Ferrari for sure. If Ferrari give him a car he's happy with, a car he feels at one with, he'll quickly become that relentless race-winning machine again that made other drivers question whether they're really in the right job. I think he's definitely capable of winning more driver's championship titles... IF Ferrari can deliver the goods.

[@Zetep]

I can sort of understand why Lewis want to drive for Ferrari, but I can not understand why Ferrari would want a former worldchampion who had his best years some time ago.

[@MrDarrenp40]

"2025 has untold possibilities" as informed amidst this banter and as spoken by Eddie Jorden in the register of indifference and some matter of fact Irish style in brogue. Finding myself as an English man in on this mix and much as it loathes me then I too would give best driver to Max and really now off of the back of Eddie's call on Interlagos 2024 which was a race against which I was unable to witness any highlights. So informed, I am not sure we may say and inform the same when considering the period from June 2024 onwards in isolation? Max's talent is increasingly finding itself occluded and Interlagos may well prove to have been a short sunny interval before some thick blanket of grey cloud mediocraty sets in over team whereas, and for McLaren and Ferrari, the clouds have cleared and the sun is more regularly showing its face enabling their star turns to shine 😀 In summary, yes, we have more good reason to look forward to the start of a new F1 season in 2025 than we have since 2021 (if you ask me the mother of all disasters in F1 and the year which cased me to fall out of love and most essentially divorce the category and this following my teenage marriage to the sport which dates back to 1976). Fortunately, I don't feel the same way about my wife. 🤩 Have a great break, guys.

@@TotalBuffoon you actually believe Max wouldn‘t have won without the safety car? lol

[@TotalBuffoon]

@Felgenfahrt Yes...I watched the race...he wasn't closing Ocon before the safety car...new tyre warmup helped him on the restart. Let's cut the crap. Even in 2016, Lewis won Brazil so who cares what he did.

@@TotalBuffoon damn, bringing up Brazil 2016 too. Does it still hurt that an 18 year olds drive overshadowed your idol that weekend?

[@TotalBuffoon]

@Felgenfahrt I don't care... real talk. I'm not a fan of either. Call it like I see it. People get too hyped over drivers who don't even know you exist. If he wins or loses it doesn't bother me or affect my life.

Yes, the safety car played a role. But one could argue that making the decision to stay out because you expect the safety car to come is a certain skill as well. You have to read the situation correctly.
