Obviously, the news cycle was not working for F1, so they changed the narrative. Everybody will forget about Andretti.

MODERATORS
The 2024 season not even started, and it's about 2025. Will he race through the season knowing nothing matters, because he will leave anyway? It would be terrible for team morale, it sounds strange, fishy. Also Hamilton has a contract for 2025 with Merc.
Everything hints it's fake.
Silly season getting really spicy
I know there's some reputable places reporting this now, but it just feels fake.
The timing is super silly. He has the money to break any contract.
Why not go now if you're gonna go for 1 year of these engines, in a year?
Why even have these talks this early? It's just gonna fuck up the season for you and for both teams?
Remember how the Seb/Carlos Story broke. IT's reasonable to assume that Ferrari does lock in their driver pairing for a season one year in advance.
Ferrari really playing the chaotic neutral role here quite well.
So RIP Sainz?
Swap with ham? I can't remember when everyones contracts expire.
They could take botas back? Or get Albon from Williams?
Albon could be a good choice. If they can get him from Williams Iโm convinced he could fight at the pointy end of the grid.
Sainz could also take Checoโs seat at RB. Thatโd be interesting.
Sainz wonโt ever get the RB seat. Jos and Sainz Sr caused a lot of problems when they were both at TR, leading to Sainz leaving the RBDA
Sainz is a really attractive free agent now, I'd think. He's maybe not got the same raw pace as some of the others at the front of the grid, but he's incredibly tactical. If I was a midfield team looking for somebody who could outperform my chassis I'd be making a spot for him on my 2025 roster right now.
If this turns out to be true I'd be surprised as I assumed Hamilton would see his career out at merc. Also if true Ferrari must've made one hell of an offer to get him.
But why?
It's where world champions go to die. Traditions.
Vettel and Alonso must have been really applying the peer pressure. "I'm sure you'll be the one to un-Ferrari Ferrari! Don't take heed of our experiences!"
Retire in a Ferrari. As bad as they have been, it's still Ferrari
Eddie Jordan deserves an apology.
A broken clock is right twice a day
Is this for real? April Fools' Day is not for another 2 months /s
No official confirmation yet from either side, but am told Hamilton to Ferrari is accurate. Set to replace Sainz in 2025, forming a partnership with Leclerc. A massive move
Everything was kept well covered. A window that opened, more and more, as Hamilton and Elkann concluded. Lewis' arrival in Maranello is a historic event for F1 And it's done!
