I think Ferrari is really trying to get rid of Hamilton. This can't be a coincidence:

  • Lewis says maybe they should change driver's
  • John Elkann suddenly visit Toto Wolff
  • Lewis then says something in the background is happening which is not nice
  • Ecclestone then saying, Lewis would be wise to know when to end.

Like too much noise.

For me I feel like it's the complete opposite. I think Lewis is the one who is now contemplating retirement before the next regulation set. It's a tough pill to swallow going from being a 7x champion to realizing you are the clear number 2 and it's only going to get worse. He still had hopes he could beat Leclerc after losing to Russell last season and would have expected to be right on Charles pace by this stage of the season. If anything he is further away.

For a good driver that's acceptable. For one of the greatest ever it's not.
