If Newey ends up at Ferrari in time to design their 2026 car, Hamilton has either lucked into a second stunning career move or he's known all along...

Man, that move to Merc looked sooooo dumb from the outside, and it was obviously one of (or the) best F1 career move there's ever been.

If he gets that right twice, Ham is 100% the goat of career management

The complete opposite to Alonso's career moves.

Alonso if Hamilton wins at Ferrari

Ya, I could have won at the Ferrari. But I didn't want to. Now Lewis is enjoying my legacy. I'm berry happy for him.

You know not all of Neweys cars were quick, right?

Of course, but his cars have won around 40% of all WDC over the past 30ish years, and his record around major new aero regulations is exceptional:

  • 1998: Two back-to-back WDC from first season
  • 2009: Four back-to-back WDC from second season
  • 2022: Two (soon to be three) back-to-back WDC from first season
