..... Hamilton’s toxic fan base .......
It's weird how individuals see things. I see other drivers with very very toxic fanbases, but I don't see Lewis Hamilton as one of them.Anyone who thinks that a certain team or driver has more toxic fans in the fringes of their fanbase is just showing up their bias.
He didn't look overly enthused to be in the new Merc recently - this was posted by Merc themselves
Interestingly I read an interview with Allison recently where he said that Lewis' well known complaints that the driver was sat too far forward was essentially bogus and it was the poor handling characteristics he was actually feeling.

Is there a chance that this is a big PR stunt to generate interest in F1 in the runup to the season? I know this is a bit conspiracy theory-y and I can't think of anything the like happening before in F1 but under this management... I'd be less surprised if this turns out to be hot air than I would by the Hamilton Ferrari move!
Nah, that's just stuipid imo, no offence. Why would Ferrari participate in such a stunt? It's just unbecoming.

If the (arguably) greatest team ever in F1 are looking to hire him that should tell you all you need to know about his current performance level and potential.
On the news, he's always spoken about ending up at Ferrari. It's his career, if he gets to end it how he wants then I'm pleased for him. He's proven again and again he knows when to move on and take a chance. He's not doing Merc dirty, he has the break clause for a reason and I would be shocked if he hasn't had this exact scenario discussion with the team before.
As was said above, just the possibility of him winning in the Merc this year (almost impossible I know) and then going to Ferrari and becoming their saviour is brilliant. I'm here for it.

Sir Lewis has clearly given up on Mercedes’ ability to provide him with the chance to win the 8th WDC he was robbed of in Abu Dhabi, so he has chosen to follow his dream and drive for Ferrari before he retires. I’m sure he knows he isn’t going to achieve justice by winning his championship there, but at least he will be able to retire as a Ferrari driver.
I hope it turns out to be the right move for him. He is a legend of motorsport and one of the greatest British sportsmen of all time. His decision to move to Ferrari will only enhance their status.

He's pitching himself against another exceptional young driver too.If the (arguably) greatest team ever in F1 are looking to hire him that should tell you all you need to know about his current performance level and potential.
