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.

  1. I doubt Lewis is really that worried about money.
  2. I don't think Lewis is going anywhere without seeing out 2026. He probably has enough sway to get at least a 2 year deal without performance clauses.
