Ferrari always had this knack for fekin up with Ferrari things coming from a phone call from someone, Bino saw it coming and left with Fred stooge toeing the line with doing what he's told putting on a plastic smile face, they desperately need a Monty figure back in there to give the tifosi a meaning to support.

It's so obvious that Fred has lost it letting this continue, Scuderia is becoming a laughing stock with these team dog fights happening more often.

Bought him for the name. Hammy's fee is easily earned back in the rise of stockprice.
Elkann is an excellent business man.

Ferrari stock price in jan 1st 2023: € 200,32
Ferrari stock price today: € 443,30

Whereas Mercedes stock price today is lower (about €4) than in jan 2023....
Same goes for BMW stock and Porsche stock, so what Ferrari does is quite extraordinary.
It's all about the money.

It's definitely all about the $$$$ or Euros!!!

Ferrari had two #1s who cooperated, about as well as one could hope for, locked up for the foreseeable future. Now they are bringing in HAM for a year or two and he definitely isn't a team player. It's gonna be Super StarWars next year!!! HAM has never had a teammate the quality of Charlie. And Charlie has never had a teammate as ruthless as HAM

John Elkann born in NYC on 1st April 1976 (April fools day) so there it is. Ferrari ship wheel handed over to him by maternal grandad Agnelli and his net worth is 2.6 B USD so has a few pennies in his building society. Well, not quite right but he became chair of Ferrari in 2017

Let's wait and see for what happens in 2025.

If Hamilton soars to WDC 2025 (he'll be 40 years by then), Elkann may see the Ferrari stock price further rise. If Hamilton becomes a midfielder with only occasionally a podium finish, the Ferrari stock price may get a hit.

Michael Schumacher's comeback (2010-2012): midfielder on track - race win for his bank account:

Great expectations: German F1 great Michael Schumacher is expecting big things from Mercedes' latest Formula One car"

Telegraph Feb 1, 2011
https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/mo...ix-podium.html

Schumacher (41 years) got WDC P9 in 2010 (19 races), not scoring any podium.

In 2011 (42 years) he got WDC P8 (19 races), not scoring any podium.

In 2012 (43 years) he got WDC P13 (20 races), scoring 1 podium (Valencia).

Subsequently, the 7 x WDC winner retired from F1. 1 x P3 in the last 58 races of his career (2010-2012).

Hamilton got his seat from the 2013 season onwards. Interim season for Mercedes.

From 2014 onwards, Mercedes made the most dominant car of the grid available to its drivers Hamilton and Rosberg. The rest is history.

That's what I already said from day 1...
Charlie is GOD and the POPE in Italy . Charlie is Ferrari just like MAX is Red Bull ..
Period (!)

Charlie will beat LEW at Ferrari . (easily)!
All what LEW can get at Ferrari is $Millions and Italian vegetarian pizza's.
LEW's end is near at Ferrari ...

In nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti

I wonder how well Hammy will fit in the Ferrari team, and whether or not that will influence the performance of the engineers, pit crew etc etc.

I mean, Ferrari is still very much an italian brand. Charles is fluent in italian, Carlos is fluent in italian, and I think pretty much all daily meetings and conversations between drivers and engineers are in italian.

That'll be quite the change when Hammy comes.
