Silly Season 2020/2021 (starting with silliness in 2019)

What are the odds that Hulkenberg will be a test driver for Ferrari/Mercedes?

[raymondu999]

Idk. I feel like Hulk is at the stage where he would rather race in another series, than take a non-race role in F1. Unless he does both. Didn’t Ant Davidson do WEC alongside Merc sim driver?

[Manoah2u]

What are the odds that Hulkenberg will be a test driver for Ferrari/Mercedes?

zero. Hulk's expiration date is long overdue.
Will go where all expired F1 drivers head out to: Formula E and announce how great that is.

Its amazing don't you know. And way better than the fake world of F1. Formula E is only a year or 2 away from surpassing F1, Honest

The thing is, there are plentyful reasons to believe there's a real chance Hamilton will go to Ferrari,
and i do believe in that possibility myself quite a lot, but having that said, that doesn't mean what's happening
is reported or read correctly.

What i'm saying is, Hamilton might indeed have gone to Maranello a few times this year.
First of all, nobody knows how 'secret' that really has been and if it was 'more or less secret', then is that reason as simple as avoiding a bunch of press and unneccesary tabloit trash?
For all it's worth, Hamilton could simply have had an invitation from Ferrari to come and look at a car they make that they think Lewis might be interested in, or vise versa, Lewis is interested in a Ferrari. And let's face it, pretty logical that Pierro Ferrari himself would want to shake hands with the mighty champ when he's there anyway.

in other words, the entire world jumps on it 'Lewis to Ferrari! PROOOF!'
whilst the simple truth is: Hamilton is going to get a brand new special Ferrari in a couple of months.

Now don't get me wrong, i have no idea what's happening.
I'm more or less leaning towards growing possibilities for Lewis to go to the reds,
but that feeling, or perhaps 'desire' doesn't mean that's actually what's going on.

[Big Tea]

Perhaps he went to Ferrari to complain about all the spam job offers he has been getting

[siskue2005]

It seems now only Ferrari require Lewis in their team, but Lewis doesn't require the Ferrari team.

[Pyrone89]

Lewis would be stupid to go to Ferrari and tarnish his legacy. It is one thing getting (relatively) easy wins and titles in an all conquering Mercedes but another thing in Ferrari that is not far ahead of the rest, coupled with Ferrari’s hilarious strategy blunders. If Lewis is second guessing the Merc strategy, he has something coming when faced with Ferrari’s. His blood pressure will explode,

[Capharol]

TBH, i think, if Lewis goes to Ferrari, he might lose a load of credit from his fans

because Lewis = Mercedes and Mercedes = Lewis

Really? I always get the feeling that people are fan of LH who just happens to drive at Merc. Merc has only been active for 9 years so I always feel they do not have a devoted following of themselves yet. Couple that with their corporate image which make you feel like supporting some nameless corporation as opposed to a sports team with their emotional baggage.

don't make the mistake, there are fans of Mercedes but not so many as there are Hamilton-fans, with Ferrari-fans it's different, with them it's the other way around

and as you pointed out Mercedes AMG F1 exist since 9 years now in which they've won 6x WDC and WCC
and most of them is connected with the name Lewis Hamilton.
and i don't see him go to Ferrari until 2022 , because he will try to get his 7th WDC with Mercedes, and then see where Mercedes stand at 2021 (by that time he is 36, almost 37)

[selvam_e2002]

Hamliton will not move out from Mercedes at any cost. As Lec as lead driver, even if Ferrari bump good amount of money, he won't. He will retire at Mercedes.

Ferrari will look for Lecre's wing man in 2021. They won't sign another alpha.

First Ferrari need a competitive car then they can decide who is no 1 and 2..
