As you've probably noticed by now, there's been increasing chat about Lewis Hamilton joining Ferrari (or perhaps more accurately, Ferrari wanting Hamilton to join them) since the final race of the year, after professional Where's Wally cosplayer and sometime Ferrari team boss Mattia Binotto said some nice things about him.
Today, the main story on the BBC Sport page is this: https://www.bbc.co.u...rmula1/50755301
Now, this is probably nothing more than idle gossip designed at making the winter break pass by more quickly, but surely it merits some discussion.
So, my question to you is do you think Lewis Hamilton should join Ferrari - and will he?
Personally, I can understand it from Ferrari's perspective. After all, they have a long history of going "screw it" and just signing the driver who keeps denying them championships, such that their motto is probably "if you can't beat them, hire them". But from Hamilton's perspective, I'd be more cautious.
After all, it's exceedingly rare for Ferrari not to be a shambles in one area or other. Look at the talent they've burned through since Schumacher retired in '06: Raikkonen, Alonso, and Vettel. All top drivers (or at least, at one point in their career) - and only one measly WDC and WCC to show for it. How, really, would Hamilton change things? I'd argue the least of Ferrari's problems is driving talent - even despite Vettel's patchy form in recent years.
But what do you think?
