‘Mega Ferrari offer’ might be “the only thing that would keep Lewis Hamilton going in F1"
That is the claim of respected F1 commentator and former Ferrari and Willi♏ams team manager🗹 Peter Windsor.
Hamilton’s current Mercedes contract expires at the end of the season and with an extension yet to bꦫe agreed, speculﷺation over his F1 future has been rife.
Ferrari have reportedly offered the seven-time world champion a 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:£40𝓰m contract to lure him away from🅺 Mercedes and continue his🌺 pursuit of a record eigh♔th world title with F1’s most famous team.
According to Windsor, that may prove a tempting offer if Mercedes’ much-needed upgrades fail to produce the desired improvement𒁏s when they finally debut at this weekend’s Monaco Grand Prix.
“Th𝓰e last time [Alonso] was scratching around for an F1 drive he immediately decided to do Le🌜 Mans, the Indy 500 and all the other stuff and now he’s back in Formula 1 again,” Windsor said on his YouTube channel.
“Kimi [Raikkonen], likewise, it took him a while to try and stop, di✤dn’t it? Rallying, NASCAR still, all t🍸hat stuff. Jenson Button’s still dabbling in it.
“It varies. Quite often dr💫ivers overstay their time and they end up in uncompetitive cars, still in Formula 1 but not winning grands prix regularly. That wears you down and then you eventuꦺally decide to just go out the side door.
“Other times, like Jody Scheckter [and] Nico Rosberg, you win a Championship꧋ and you think: ‘Right, been there, dome that, I’m out of here.’
“And then, other times, drivers like Lewis Hamilton defy 𝔍all the odds and despite unbelievable success and all the things that com🔯e with that continue to sustain their sheer, raw love of driving and of competition and motivation and keep racing.
“I’ve𝄹 speculated man💖y times how long Lewis can continue to do that if he’s not in a competitive car.
“I t๊hink we’re almost getting to the point now that if this next Mercedes upgrade – revision, whatever you want to call it – doesn’t produce, I’d be very sur꧙prised if Lewis is able to have the motivation to continue.
“The only thing that would keep Lewis going would be some s⛦ort of mega Ferrari offer, I would imagine.”
Sky Sports F1 presenter Simon Lazenby꧋ has also questioned whether Hamilton’s future could hinge on the success of Mercedes’🦂 revised W14.
