Lewis brings more visibility to the team which means more money and prestige for them. Also saying Lewis is a #2 to Charles is not an insult. Charles is probably the second best driver after Verstappen right now.
Yes, Charles is a very fast driver, but just answer my last question: do you think Lewis will accept number 2 status at Ferrari? Letโs not forget that itโs the same Lewis that didnโt accept number two status as a rookie against a two times world champion (Alonso) at McLaren.
Do you think heโll play number two to a promising driver that has won no championships yet, even if heโs considered one of the best drivers on the grid? Again, he showed no respect for a two times world champion.
Yeah but that's almost 20 years ago at that point. It's definitely going to be interesting to see if they fight like Vettel and Lerclerc did
I think they will fight like Vettel and Leclerc. I think this will be like Alonso and Hamilton at McLaren, but now Hamilton will be Alonso. The fast, young promising driver against the established world champion who expects #1 treatment. (With the added irony that Charles is not a rookie and has been #1 for some time now).
Will it work? I have no idea. Knowing Ferrari, it may be the best thing theyโve done in years, or be a complete disaster (the second being more probable, in my opinion).
In any case, itโll add a lot of drama to the sport XDDD
