That Time Lewis Hamilton Woke Up And Chose Violence (Winter Break News Roundup No. 3)
Channel: Going Off Track With Kathryn & Emily
Date: 2024-02-06

Anything newsworthy happen in Formula 1 last week?

Oh right, yes.

Not only did Lewis Hamilton drop a bomb on his Mercedes team (and the world of sports as a whole) by announcing his move to Ferrari on football deadline day, but we also got the news that the FOM (stupidly) decided to deny the Andretti bid to become the 11th Formula 1 team.

And yes, Kathryn and Emily have THOUGHTS about it all.

We also spend time speculating on:
-What’s going to happen Carlos Sainz
-Who could fill that open Mercedes race seat
-And of course, our thoughts on how much the 2024 sprint format changes are going to suck.

Have we mentioned lately that we’re not fans of the F1 sprint? Well, it doesn’t look like it’s going to get any better this season.
