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!

I have more than a little sympathy with this view and similarly have a view that some of the other teams such as Williams are suffering more from a lack of leadership than a lack of talent in many areas but I would have to bite my lip and say that Binotto has been an absolute breath of fresh air for me this season compared to the last couple of team leaders. 
I have actually looked forward to the interviews he has had on TV and whilst not in the same league as Mercedes, he seems to answer the questions he is asked, and, for Ferrari,  answer in a pretty straight manner (or have I just become disillusioned by the politicians on the TV at the moment who couldn't lie straight in bed....)
It would seem to me that as well as the car getting better, the timing starting to look better in terms of contracts ending etc there is also a slowly improving leadership style which might also be quite important to Lewis given the importance he seems to attach to it at Mercedes.
