I was saying to Neil in chatroom yesterday during quali that I think it is looking odds on Lewis will go to the red team in 2021.
Easy to understand why it could be attractive for him, but it will leave me conflicted (I felt the same when Nige wore the red overalls too). Watching the sport over 45 years it is natural to build personal preferences / allegiances for teams and drivers. Over the years RBR and then Ferrari have become the teams I least want to see win anything That says more about the way those teams operate and the personalities in senior management than it does about the brilliant and talented people who design and build their race cars. Slightly irrational thinking on my part, but it is what it is!
On the one hand I would love to see Lewis Hamilton raise the high-water mark in terms of WDC's, wins and poles. On the other that would mean watching Ferrari win races and titles if he does go that way. In morini’s ideal world, he goes back to McLaren who have as good a chance as anyone of turning it around during a rule reset. Particularly with Merc power.
