The prize list of Lewis Hamilton will live forever, made of records that are almost unbeatable, even for the most talented drivers on the grid. But the Briton is human and his body, despite the care he gives it, will one day or another no longer be able to meet the demands of driving at the highest level. The challenge Classic Ferrari for sale is the biggest

I would like to see Buemi, because without him, Verstapen would be nothing at all, don't forget that every GP weekend Sebastien is at the factory on the simulator for the settings sent to Verstapen!

A post about BEARMAN, I can't imagine VERSTAPPEN in Maranello because everything must revolve around him, while the Scuderia is not necessarily ready for it as ALONSO and VETTEL can testify, unlike the Red Baron!

None of the three drivers mentioned are capable of driving for Ferrari!!! They are far too inexperienced… it's obvious, even a blind man could see it 👎⏱️. As for Lewis, his time is over… sorry to say it so coldly, but it's life for any athlete…!!!! You have to accept it. I repeat myself, but there is only one who can put the Scuderia back in the lead… of the race again… It's Max… as was Michael Schumacher. It's obvious. alainkf1@pt.lu President: Ayrton Senna Memorial Club of Luxembourg. 😎👀🇱🇺👀🇧🇷👍

We have to stop worrying about Hamilton leaving Ferrari...give him time. You don't drive a Ferrari like any other, especially when you've spent decades at MacLaren and Mercedes. He's the most successful driver, and it's not 7, but 8 victories if we can attribute it to him. Verstapen with the help of the stewards stole the last one from him...and if you're honest you have to admit it. So he needs time to get to know the car, all the people in the team who are a world apart, and the language, Italian can't be learned in 5 minutes...if in 2026 he doesn't do better, and Charles widens the gap even further. Only then can we ask ourselves questions. But please leave him alone and us too... Patience... Take care of the misdeeds of Verstapen and company, let Ferrari and its drivers breathe. Thank you

I would definitely choose Palou. Spotty kids are all very nice, but the soufflé quickly falls apart.

And Max, Ferrari needs a World Cup, the fans need to dream, the Leclerc Sainz duo lacked brilliance.

Logically Bearman, given his result for replacing Sainz at short notice, and his 7th place!
