I'm assuming you've all heard that Lewis appears to have blindsided the Mercedes team with this announcement? That makes me wonder if Mercedes will limit the damage by insisting on gardening leave clauses in the contract (surely they were not stupid and didn't cover themselves) and make Lewis sit out the year. Because having Hamilton continuing to race for the team for a full year in this situation is just not..optimal. It'd be funny as hell, don't get me wrong, just really bad for Mercedes.

What kind of a loving deal is that. How desperate was he to get funding. Is that a common thing? I know everything is expensive from karting to F1, but surely this is TikTok thoughtleader-landlord levels of financial stupidity

"You just get one property, mortgage that and buy another property and then continue the chain. It will never go wrong, real estate only goes up up up"

The only other person I know did it was Justin Wilson and investors ended up roughly doubling their money on the deal.

Ok now more stuff is coming out that I didn't know, Ferrari wanted the Hamilton announcement to be timed to their quartely results announcement so that would boost their share price. And both LeClerc and Sainz knew about the move weeks beforehand especially LeClerc before he signed his contract extension. :psyduck:

Everyone would hate Merc and they would still need to pay Lewis and his replacement for 2024. Seems like a bad idea to me.

Why would Hamilton demand and get an escape option for 2025 but leave himself subject to forced "gardening leave"? That wouldn't make any sense.

Speaking as a project manager, the only time I would send a meeting invite for a zoom discussion and not follow up with a phone call if no one accepted is if I didn't really want the meeting in the first place.

Dynamic instability during transition.
And FOM stating that they were “extending an invitation to an in-person meeting at our offices in order for the applicant to present its application, but the applicant did not take us up on this offer” is a disingenuous way to write “we sent them an email and never heard back.”

FOM clearly didn’t go out of their way to have an honest discussion with Andretti; they knew they were going to reject them anyway, and were just looking for more reasons to justify that beyond the obvious financial one.
