MODERATORS
Don't get why a mod of all people would be posting this clickbait nonsense
Mods are people too, and they don't have to share my taste in content. If this mod wants to have a laugh at a bad article, or is just so starved for Hamilton contract news that they care he hasn't signed yet... good for them. This post abides by the rules and should be allowed even if it's a bit useless. If it's not your cup of tea, downvote and move on. My contribution was reading the article so you don't have to, moderation doesn't factor into it for me.
Weird that you took it personally. "Not surprising really" isn't exactly having a laugh, and if so formuladank would be more suited for it. Also the rules aren't finished, according to the meta post there is a clear demand for a minimum of seriousness in this community as opposed to formuladank, and I don't see posting useless clickbait articles just to rile people up (or drive up engagement) as falling into that category.
Edit: Dude doesn't know how forum threads work, got it
What's weird is that you think I took anything personally. You replied to my comment to rant at me about someone else's low quality post, your reply shows up in my inbox. If you're not talking to me, I don't know what you're trying to do. I responded to inform you... in brief... that I'm fine with the post and not much interested in your concerns. Carry on, but don't bug me about it.
TL/DR: Could be today, tomorrow, this week, the next 7 days. If it’s not in the next 7 days people will ask him why.
Lol. Yup
I'll believe it when I see it. It's still early in the season. It'll all be talk until something is inked up. This is how it's been every year around Hamilton's contract
What's his leverage? Only drive I could see him going for is Aston Martin. That way he'd still end his career with Mercedes, only driving with a Mercedes engine in the back in all of his career.
Who would he replace, Alonso or Stroll jnr though?
Ferrari?
I'd pay good money to see him at RedBull. It'd spice up the multi year dominance I bet.
His leverage is he is Lewis Hamilton. He brings so much value to Mercedes in terms of marketing and brand, on top of being an amazing driver. He can step away if he chooses to. Is that more costly to Mercedes than losing him?
Definitely. Doesn't hurt to have another team offering mega bucks to up your salary though :)
How is this even news? All Toto says it will happen soon, which we knew already since they were already in negotiations.
Typical F1 clickbait journalism, that's all.
I feel like I've been reading this for over a year now
I thought it started right after he signed the last one really
