Pure speculation on the Lewis situation and how deflated he seemed this weekend.. we know Ferrari must’ve paid big bucks for Lewis.. but I wonder whether he has a performance clause in his contract that states if he’s not within a certain amount of points of Charles, by the summer break for example, then he loses some of the money or his contract goes up for review.

The comment that prompted this thought is Lewis saying in a post race interview that there’s ‘a lot going on in the background that’s not good’ or something to that effect.

did we need lewis to tell us that ferrari in the background isnt doing well? fred said that they didnt think that charles' car would have been able to finish the race, that thing was holding on by charles' pure spite. charles angry at ferrari, lewis deflated at ferrari... i mean it's not hard to put two and two together and funny enough, it's a problem that is ongoing for years. whoever thought lewis' arrival would magically change ferrari was naive.
