He'll hardly end up skint. His annual salary is $40 million and he's worth half a billion dollars.

That is a lot of money for driving a car around in circles. Imagine how much he would be worth if he actually made a contribution to society. :)

The driver who goes to Ferrari, will be chosen on how much sponsorship he can bring with him,,, Hamilton will stay at Bercesades to get his 7th title, then possibly go to Ferrari, All Top flight drivers want to drive for Ferrari, it's a bucket list thing.

I really cant see why they would want to anymore. When the old man was alive and the team had soul yes. But its just a brand like Rolex or Nike now. And that's before we get into the "only win when they cheat" discussion, which takes away a lot of the kudos of winning when the driver wins in a red car.
Hamilton doesn't need Ferrari at all imo, and I doubt he could fit into the team well if he went there.
He might buy into the hype at some point though and finish up there just before retirement.
If Sianz does go there because he is a cheap option, it will be a shame imo. Despite all their faults they are one of the top tier of teams and should sign the best drivers they can get.
I wonder if Leclerc is behind the scenes pushing for a team mate who wont be a strong challenge to him. He is almost French after all and that is a French type of mindset. Prost spent his whole career doing things like that.

Sainz has been around for a few years now and Ive never been that impressed with him. Seems they are really building the team around Leclerc.

Yep...a so-so driver. OK but not exceptional.

The Honey badger need to keep well away from Maxxy  the boy wonder if he wants to look impressive.

Two F1 races, without spectators, at Silverstone this summer.
TB could attach a camera to his drone, hover over the circuit, and stream the footage live on OOF.

 I bet they will be wise to that, and put measures in place to prevent it.

I found out a week ago that one of the drones can do a live YouTube stream.  Although its borderline that Silverstone is within range of my back garden, and I CBA to go out...   ...though with no spectators, maybe I can get out :)

Well, it says something when the speculations about who is moving where is more interesting that the "racing"

Nah. Hamilton has given us some of the best racing Ive ever seen. Yes, the sport has been ruined by people who don't know their arse from their elbow, the cars are awful, the regulations are atrocious, but when theres a chance for real on track racing he is as good or better than anyone Ive ever seen.
He is the only reason I still watch it.
Ive been watching F1 for nearly 45 years, and the most boring period without a doubt was the Schumacher era, when he drove a car which was much faster than all the others, and his team mates were never allowed to race him. The racing has improved hugely since then.
