Will the seven-time champion and the best team of the decade have a tacit agreement? Few dare to say that things go from rags and tablecloths, while the uncertainty among Formula 1 fans deepens due to the result of a soap opera with increasing nuances, two months after the start of the competition.
And while a well-known one like former Prime Minister Bernie Ecclestone says everything is consumed between the parties, the abysmal differences that mark Lewis Hamilton’s dissatisfaction with Mercedes continue to be news with each passing day, especially since The tripod already has a replacement for the historic English pilot.
This is George Russell, promoted as the next superstar on the biggest asphalt snake in the medium term, even with a talent that would allow Mercedes to win again in 2021, unless the giant Ferrari reappears.
Perspective
The predominant situation between Mercedes and Hamilton would be more complex than it seems. The salary issue covers everything, but the pilot also wants to have a greater influence on the choice of partner for 2022, because he is reluctant to be someone other than the current Valtteri Bottas, with whom he feels very comfortable.
The Finnish driver has an ideal personality for Hamilton, because he is not rebellious and, without a doubt, he has never shown himself to be a direct rival of the champion four times in a row.
The value demanded by the biggest winner in history (95 GP), 44 million euros per year, is very far from what Mercedes offers (25 MME), but there is also the enormous distance that the driver requires for four years of extension
All in all, the great man in the universal category, Eddie Jordan, “gave” an ultimatum to Hamilton, who he says shows little sense of the world because of the pandemic. the door showed him Either you drive according to my conditions, or you leave ”.
claims
Hamilton not only wants the 44 European kilograms, but to participate in the team’s earnings and its request for extension, to influence beyond his luck as a pilot, while the green-black wants to tie him only for another season, so saving time with his gold project called “Russell”.
The problem seems as complicated as after last season, Mercedes became equal tripartite property (33.33%) for each, we understand Daimler, Toto Wolff and INEOS. It happens that the executive wants the continuity of the superb, while Daimler opts for the exit. So the last word could be the chemical company.
Most striking of all is that Mercedes has Hamilton as an image in its promotions, although it has not yet registered it – it is the only incomplete team on the day of this article – at a time when the team is preparing to lay off 25 percent of its employment as a continuation of the deadly financial effects of coronavirus.
