Poor Sainz though

[floydfreak]

Merecedes to quit F1 in a few years lol

[Robbo-92]

Everyone is a Ferrari fan, even Hamilton! Really hope he can win a WDC with them, was rooting for Vettel to do the same but that sadly never happened.

[Victor Mildew]

I'm not a ferrari fan

Mind you, I'm not a fan of any of the teams tbh.

[Jam-Master Jay]

Well I'm glad we've had a couple of hours of silly season speculation this year. Some are suggesting Sainz to Audi too which might be a decent move, it would be a shame too lose him to a backmarker.

[Victor Mildew]

Eya bonno, my a tyres they are a gonna!

[Rawrgna]

Hamilton, its Binotto Sbinalla

BBC reporting too.

Sources have told BBC Sport that all Mercedes team members have been called to a team briefing with boss Toto Wolff and technical director James Allison at 14:00 GMT on Thursday. This is likely to be to announce Hamilton is leaving.

They've strawberry floated up again, get Ferrari on the phone.

I think driving for Ferrari would be appealing to most drivers, regardless of if they think they can win a championship.

Not sure what Ferrari get out of it to be honest. It’s not really their driver line up that has been their downfall of late.

[Robbo-92]

Watch him win his 8th with Mercedes, then his 9th with Ferrari.

I very much doubt anyone will be challenging Red Bull over the course of 2024 though.

According to The Athletic Hamilton is friends with the president of Ferrari. And he worked with Fred Vasseur when he was a junior.

[Rawrgna]

Its Fred Vassuers project to get the people he knows and likes to get the job dones

That would be incredible but nobody is beating red bull this year, if anything it'll be just as gooseberry fool as it was last year.

[Kanbei]

Genuinely shocked here

Poor Sainz though

Rumours that Sainz will go to Sauber in prep for the Audi takeover

[Cuttooth]

Hamilton what are you doing?

[Victor Mildew]

Now get alonso in the Mercedes.
