Think I said this before, but perhaps better minds will have the answer - Paps and other Lewis fans want to see Lewis at SF, to win at 3 different teams - however - even though Lewis has won at 2 different teams, at present, he has never won without a Merc Engine
So, if this mystical feat is to be achieved, much like Alonso's quest for the triple crown,
Who won before in 3 teams? (I'm guessing, Fangio)
But didn't he also have different engines? Just asking, but if the answer is what I think it is - sorry Lewis fans - it's not the same achievement

Haha - Yeah Paps - kinda knew that, 5 titles, - 4 engines - but as some can be a bit "sensitive" at times, was hoping a Lewis fan would say it - thanks for obliging, haha

Not sure winning with different teams or engines is a particularly relative stat unless you of course are a stat freak of which there are far too many in the world. Being in the dominant car of the day is what wins you Championships. I was not as close of a fan as I am now but as Hamilton fan I think his WDC in 2008 was perhaps his best win. IF, IF he wins this year I would probably rank it as second.
I am going against the grain here (as usual) I do not see Vettel in a Mercedes car. Reasons why: I think Mercedes will want to Hamilton for many more years and throw all kinds of money at him or certainly until he stops being a potential champion. I dont think he and Vettel will ever drive in the same team together unless they both end up at McLaren!!!! Then I look at the drivers Mercedes have coming through their young drivers program, throw in Ocon ( I cannot believe they will totally free him up next season I see a 'loan' arrangement). Then I look at the possibility they may well go after Verstappen although personally I think he is destined for Ferrari.
I do think there is a small chance Hamilton will drive for Ferrari one day I mean like it or not it is considered the pinnacle of teams but equally you have to wonder what Leclerc is going to be, if Verstappen ends up there and even the possibility Danny Ricciardo could also be a Ferrari target of the future (and maybe Mercedes too).
I thought it was a nice comment from Wolff but no more than that.
