Seen the rumors also but I don't see either LeClerc or Hamilton playing second bitch, definitely a recipe for disaster and a repeat of the Hamilton vs Nico Rosberg fiasco... imo I don't see Ferrari putting themselves in that situation.
It's not a rumor, Ferrari and Mercedes have both confirmed yesterday that LH is moving to Ferrari in 2025 on a multi-year contract, activating a release-clause in his current Mercedes contract. I guess Ferrari wants his expertise to build and develop the 2025 regulation car.

Tbh, I did not expect that. I would have thought LH is going to stay with Mercedes until his retirement.

Though not a fan of Lewis, I do think he's got balls going to Ferrari. But Ferrari is about the brand, Lewis (thinks) he is a brand on his own. Curious how this pans out!

I hope Charles steps up and affirms his number one place on the track. I like Charles, Lando, Fernando and Daniel the most (maybe add Gasley).

Carlos Sainz will miss this weekend's race due to an appendix issue.

Am rooting for the dude coz he deserves that Ferrari seat more than Hamilton. I want Sainz to outperform my dude Le Clerc as a big fuck you to Ferrari management.

As a Tiffosi for life I say Fuck Scuderia.

Hope he recovers from appendix surgery asap.

'Smooth Operator' gets an amazing F1 win after appendix surgery.

Ha! Take that Verstappen!

Anyone else ecstatic over Carlos Sainz leading a Ferrari's one-two win?
Remember when I said Sainz should show Ferrari and Hamilton the middle finger for dissing him over a 2025 seat?...Thats how to do it Carlos...Bravo!

Adrian Newey moving to Scuderia Ferrari, awesome.
Well, that's not yet confirmed. All we know is that he is leaving Red Bull.

As he publicy already ruled out joining Aston Martin and has also stated in the past that he would regret never having worked for Ferrari, it could be a very real possibility.

It will be interesting to see how this affects further personell decissions at the team. Might we see a chain reaction triggering Max Verstappen's contract exit clause? With Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari Next Season and Charles Leclerc in their other car, where could Max go? I am not sure if he and Mercedes would be a good fit, seeing how poorly Mercedes performed the last 2 seasons.

    At least Linux doesn't contain spyware than what Windows has.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @SylverReZ, cuz of lag?
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, No. Whenever you use the internet on Windows, Microsoft collects personal data and installs bloatware that isn't necessarily needed, such as Edge.

  • impeeza @ impeeza:
    @Xdqwerty yes, when you are installing Windows on the first steps you are asked for your current location, you MUST to select «international» so no bloatware is installed, because the bloatware is location based. if this night I have some time I will setup a VM and take screenshots.
