Most people were saying he was mad to join a very average Mercedes team in 2013. Perhaps Lewis knows something we don't?

Poor Sainz though :cry:


Rumours that Sainz will go to Sauber in prep for the Audi takeover


Likely, but Sainz has done a very good job in a team that unofficially is team Leclerc.

Alonso in the Mercedes would be entertaining.

I wonder if he's bringing any staff with him?

Just imagining Wolf trying to speak with an Italian accent.

Really interested to see how this could shake-up the other line-ups.

A seat at Merc is still a pretty desirable thing so who are they getting? Do either Sainz or LeClerc essentially swap with Lewis?

Or do they give someone struggling in midfield a chance? Tsunoda to Merc? :lol:

Albon is a good shout, gets on well with Russell, quick, but possibly not a threat to Russell, although I think he could be with a car that suits him.

Isn't he locked into McLaren till at least 26? I'm also not sure it would be a good move given Mercedes decline and McLaren looking like they're heading in the right direction.

Albon would be interesting though.

I could see a Lewis/Sainz straight swap.

Check out my YouTube channel!

Saw a hint that the swap may be immediate.

Can't wait for the 2pm thing :datass:

That would be crazy if the swap happened for 2024, Hamilton must really not like where the W15 is going if he'll willingly swap to an unknown car at such short notice.

That part is probably bullshit but it would be very entertaining.
