List of living F1 WDCs which no one ever thinks about or has spotted at a grand prix in a long rear end time:

Emerson Fittipaldi
Jody Scheckter
Alan Jones
Michael Schumacher

I always forget Lauda is a 3x WDC cause all I see is that crazy old man in the Mercedes pits.

Likely both (Seb for the German coverage and Lewis for English).

I think Jody Scheckter owns a vineyard and has done that for 30+ years. Also his son drove in the IRL/Indycar Junk Formula era and crashed out all of the time.

I just can't see Lewis stepping into the paddock again once he's out.

Jolyon Palmer is definitely gonna become a pundit though. 100%.

Yah, Scheckter actually owns and runs like one of the largest organic farms in the UK I believe or something of that sort. He pioneered the poo poo out of it.

Go buy his poo poo I guess.

My sense (from their public personas) is that Hamilton is like Button and probably Kimi in that as soon as F1 is done they will go find something else to do that is fun to them. I think hanging out in F1 garages and poo poo is Vettel's idea of fun so he will just keep doing that.

Lewis is gonna dump all of his money into creating his own record label and studio and it'll all go wrong, he'll end up broke as gently caress, and start racing again in LMP2 and some sort of GP Legends resurrection in order to make ends meet.

I actually disagree. Hamilton always portrays this persona that he has so much more going on than F1 but then gets extremely catty when poo poo like Rosberg retiring after winning one championship or Nando going off to Indy happens. Me thinks the lady doeth protest too much and all he has going on is F1 and "being a celebrity" which is sustained only because he is in F1.

Yeah, he often forgets that F1 is what makes him popular. Just being Lewis Hamilton isn't enough.

poo poo, you got me. I got it confused with Formula Three. Well he's the current Formula Three champ, but I don't know anything about that series. Is it competitive?

edit: hrm looking at the 2016 grid I don't recognise any of those names..

He was running with Prema, who finished 1-2 in GP2 last year having never run it before. Moreover, he was the only Prema run driver with a current year chassis.

There's also rumours of trick suspension and extra testing etc.
