If that is true that is a massive sign of disrespect to Hamilton with what he has accomplished with them as a team.
I do not understand how you can be an ambassador for Ferrari have not driven for them yet and unlikely to do so for than a few seasons. It must be all about the incentive to move rather than some heart felt move by them.
Yeah we were saying the same.
But in fairness mate Lewis has been a long time Ferrari fan.
Good business for Ferrari though is it not, Lewis's online media presence is massive compared to others, free advertising uh?
His following dwarfs any other team or driver by a distance.
