Andretti to nowhere!

Very surprised about the Hamilton move though, not real sure it makes a lot of sense. Did he have "drive for Ferrari" on his bucket list maybe?

It's a kind of marketing move in my mind.
Makes no sense to replace a very good nr.2 driver with Lewis.
But on the other side it will be entertaining when both are whining at the radio against each other.

If you can't make champions, buy champions.

I'm waiting for the year all the drivers in their 30s and 40s retire and the average age of the grid drops down by 10 years.

Stu, guys in the 30s and 40s like Ham and Fernando can stay a bit longer if they want, they give good fun! :D
I admit it has thrilled me a bit less than would be expected. OK, I was in a bus, heading a flat to recondition, 10 hours work ahead and just wanting to see the MotoGP developements, and found me on the wrong foot.
Anyway as it goes sinking in, it´s also good for Carlos. One thing is being sacked to make way for Lewis, and other just being sacked.
A bit more thrill, interesting to see if Ham will defeat Lec... that I think he will.
Also to see if the dry spell... that is starting to be too similar to the Scheckter-Schumacher one, is cut short. IN fact they will have just two seasons to make it better or shorter

Just a good Marketing strategy in my opinion, only Schumacher was a driver Ferrari needed to develope a car which matches the driver surrounded by a team which also provides the driver a matching car and bring the awaited success. Hamilton was never able to develope a car in a team in any way like Schumacher did where he run with.
Take a stand!
