I'm happy for him, he's clearly banging his head at Mercedes. But I do wonder what he hopes to achieve where Alonso, Vettel, and all the other drivers since Kimi failed? Lewis definitely has it in him..... Ferrari, I'm not so sure.

I really don't know whether this is a:

  • Mercedes is going nowhere so I'm just going to throw shit at the wall and see what happens

  • Nobody other than RB is winning until regulation changes, and by that point I'll be too old anyway. My new challenge will be trying to push Ferrari into being a competent team

  • I'm going to retire soon and I'll kick myself if I don't drive for Ferrari at least once in my career, they're a historic team

Both Hamilton and his father have mentioned in the past that they'd like him to drive for Ferrari before retiring. I can imagine that this is what they're doing since Mercedes have lost many leading people in recent years.

Yeah I do remember Ham saying multiple times that driving for Ferrari would be great, but I never took it seriously and always interpreted it as a salary negotiation tactic with Mercedes. Guess he was serious after all.
