Lewis shock F1 move to Maranello sends Ferrari share price soaring.
John S:
If Ferrari issues a few hundred k of shares now they might clear Lewis total contract salary in one simple transaction. ;) :D :DD

Jericoke:
Normally companies raise their share prices by firing people.
Nice to see share prices going up on news of hiring people!
rmassart:
They might have to fire a few to pay his wages...
I wonder if this is as inspired a switch as when he moved to Mercedes. What does he know that others don't? Or is he simply cashing in for his retirement?

Or could it be a case of "everyone wants to drive for Ferrari?"

Certainly if Hamilton wants to continue using his career as a 'platform for change', Ferrari offers a bigger platform than Mercedes.
And of course, everyone wants to race for Ferrari.
Still, feels like a mess waiting to unfold. If LeClerc thought he was 'the future' of Ferrari, that's going to be a bit of a kick in the teeth. Unless he feels he can learn from Hamilton as a mentor... in 2 years time. Sainz, what is he supposed to feel? Can he really dedicate himself to the team? If he finds himself in an 'all things being equal' position, would he listen to team orders or just do what's best for Sainz?
Or is this just silly season nonsense? (If it is, and Ferrari's share value really did soar, then certainly there's some legal questions)
