How can he regret leaving? The team have done everything to basically force him out since the end of '21: Replace Bottas with Russell, not listening to his suggestions on the car development, not offering an ambassador role (but willing to give it to Verstappen) and then not offering a a secure multiyear contract. They lying when they say they were surprised he left. It's what Mercedes has wanted. We're going red next year onwards🏎️💜
He wont regret the move because Merc did not want to give him what he wanted. He made the best choice for his future. Stop making it look like he had a better choice staying at Mercedes.
Also just because the merc looks good now doesnt mean it will look good after the regs. The 2012 merc was very mediocre compared to the 2012 mclaren in terms of pace...we all know how history unfolded after 2013

yeah his greed for more money thats all it is, he was demanding more money than when he was in his prime, the humanity
@@GhostonUA-cam201xI would say he knows his own self worth, other people do it in a multitude of other sports around the world.. he's negotiating for himself and his current and future exploits.

Would you feel the same way If it were Alonso or Max were in the same situation
I've got a great anecdote for you Cameron...
I work at Heathrow Airport and happened to see Anthony Hamilton and his good lady wife recently as they were both boarding an A380 aircraft. (I wont share the airline or destination). I cheekily greeted them both by saying "Ciao.. Buongiorno..!" and to my delight they both smiled and replied back in italian.. now I know this isn't a big deal, but it warmed my heart that they instantly knew that I was a fan and that I was looking forward to their eldest sons future in another country. (Yes I did get all that just from a quick greeting) you had to be there 🥰
Respect to that, them and yourself.
Nice one for sharing...
Did Merc really want him? They didn’t try hard.
That’s my point exactly they didn’t want him
The contract offer was an insult to a driver if his caliber and the relationship he shared with them..
I believe he's being honest, no multi year deal was the breaking point if you stay after 2021 then they give you a wheelchair for 2 years then offer you a one year deal for your loyalty I'd leave regardless too because Toto didn't fight for a multi year deal like he didn't fight for the 2021 championship. Ferrari's car is closed enough to bring it up to speed plus it's only right in his last chapter 🙏🏾
Hamilton didn't decide to leave Mercedes because of their "technical arrogance"... he's leaving because Mercedes didn't value his services at half a billion, simple as that.
Even being a Dutchman, Lewis winning an 8th title in red... he deserves to!!
Regret is an appalling waste of energy. Thanks for making this video.
Thank you DLaM

Regret is an appalling waste of energy.
I’m going to use this..
Nothing to regret unless... Merc have a title winning car next year. Toto Wolff didn't want Lewis for 2026, gave him a 1+1 so he thought Lewis is not the guy they need for the future.
Also Ferrari wanted him for marketing and to attract better engineers as Vasseur said a couple of days ago. If Lewis performs that's great, if not, it's ok, Leclerc is the one with the pressure to deliver, Lewis can just look good in red.
They have a title winning Car this year
Every racing driver dreams of to drive for Ferrari simple Ferrari is F1 and F1 is Ferrari
To a fault even? 🤯
I too agree... pretty much every F1 drivers dream is to drive for Ferrari and in Lewis' case, it would be a bonus to WIN in a Ferrari, however if it does not come to pass, he will (in my humble opinion) be somewhat satisfied with at least being part of and driving for Ferrari to end his esteemed and illustrious F1 career to date. 😎🏁
The biggest slight to his character was Mercedes not offering him an Ambassador role. All the wins he’s brought them, all the programs he’s got them to invest in. All the sponsors he’s brought in, their rise in stock price….and you don’t give him that? The disrespect
"Oh the humanity" "what are we doing here" favourite one liners
Glad you're enjoying sir
You can't regret leaving where you're not wanted...
Why would Lewis regret his move to Ferrari? Only because the Mercedes car seems better in July 2024? He has already achieved so much. A new team and a new challenge in the autumn of your career? Could be worse, right? It is granted to very few. It seems difficult to predict how Ferrari's car compares to Mercedes in 2025.
Both parties made a business decision.. Mercedes' chose to go in another direction so then Sir Lewis Carl Davidson Hamilton chose to go to Scuderia Ferrari.
This is the logical step for a god tier driver to the exit of F1, many followed the same path to the exit in beautiful red.
Think you onto something there sir
yup
Forget Ralph, Cameron has come out as a Hammer fan :)
They included that clause in the contract was a clear indication to lewis that his time was done with MB. They may pretend that they were blind sided but in reality, Sir Lewis gave them an honorable separation. They are happy with Lewis leaving. Most teams treat their deivers in a manner: "You are lucky to have a job here." That's how it appears of what actually happened to Sir Lewis with that contract. That was an insult. Before Lewis signed it. He was mentally gone already.
The only regret he would’ve had is not getting to drive for Ferrari, and thank god he’s going to fulfill that dream. Good on ya Lewis!!!
Hubris & math. 1+1 or 3 years and brand ambassador?
there is no worse advice than hindsight advice. personally the move to Ferrari is the BEST move Hamilton can do. Merc just doesnt want him, the dude won multiple championships for them n the best contract that merc has ever offered was to Max, their rival. Merc clearly didnt want Hamilton they didnt even fight for him in 2021, so why should he stay.
Max is an excellent driver and a true rival to Hamilton n defiantly deserves that type of contract, i really want to see the 2 of them in machinery that can compete n see them fighting it out.
I think Lewis will only regret it only if Mercedes win every race till the end of the season. But just because Mercedes have won a couple races doesn’t mean they are “back”, look how far ferrari have fallen from just a few races ago when we all thought ferrari were going to challenge Red Bull. One thing for certain though is F1 excitement and unpredictability is BACK! Thank God!
Always poetry to listen to you. Your language is unique.
If Max takes the seat and Toto and the team gets a good car 2025 and is the best car 2026 - then everything Lewis had as the GOAT are in real danger to be beaten by Max. If Max goes to a good Mercedes team in 2025 and has 4 WC and around 70 GP wins, then I think Max is making a sledgehammer to destroy Schumi and Lewis GOATness. I think Max is to young and good to not break the records. And Lewis probably know this is a huge risk.
My only question with Max is how much longer he'll put up with all of the stuff he dislikes about F1 (Sprint races, schedule, etc) before he decides to call it quits. He seems to enjoy simracing more than F1, and if his vision problems are really still an issue then he might decide to leave sooner rather than later. Max loves to win but I don't think he especially cares about chasing records (it just comes as a result of him winning so often).
I wouldn't be surprised to see Max move to Mercedes for a couple of years only to retire once Antonelli is ready to take over. He's already at the point where he can walk away satisfied with the career he's had.
I guess Lewis just gonna put Ferrari back on top. Leaves a print for higher achievements for the team. 🤷🏾♂️
Im sure he’ll miss merc, but theres no regret when the team only gave him a 1+1.
The Merc loves british conditions. Shame it will be hot everywhere else mostly.
And Silverstone is Lewis' good luck charm, too. Indeed, this is something that is being overlooked. I'm glad that Mercedes have won 2 races as a competitive Mercedes makes the field even more interesting (I'd like to see George win another race or two as well), but that was a race that really gave them the best opportunity to win. It'll be interesting to see how the rest of the schedule plays out for them.
Also, Merc, McLaren, and Ferrari need to step their strategy up a notch, Red Bull's biggest asset is their consistency in execution.
I disagree. Ferrari weren't at that great of a spot at the start of the season, and only began showing their upward trajectory after a few races, well after Lewis had signed. At the same time, Mercedes had just beaten Ferrari in the Constructor's, so leaving them would have still been a gamble, especially since Lewis has familiarity with Merc. It wasn't until Ferrari started performing well and Mercedes looked to be falling flat on their faces that everyone thought what a genius move it was. At one point, Lewis even said the W15 was the worst its ever been. And now that Ferrari is stumbling a bit and Mercedes have figured something out, suddenly Lewis must be regretting it? No way. We're only halfway through the season.
Bearing in mind, not only have Mercedes figured some things out, but so have McLaren and the RB20 is still no slouch either. So none of these teams currently have a huge advantage or deficit, even Ferrari. 2025 looks to be a very competitive year. Keeping in mind that Mercedes would not give Lewis the contract he wanted, while Ferrari did, I see no reason at all why he would regret anything.
Mercedes have only won a single race on pace, which Ferrari did about 3 GPs ago. There are no guarantees and just as likely that Ferrari might have a better car than Mercedes from next year. Even if they have the fastest car next year, Mercedes will need to have a sizable advantage for Russell and his teammate to emerge WDC over the course of a season.
Oh, the humanity i forgot to buy a litre of milk. Oh the humanity.
To be honest, Lewis gave them his all and he would have loved to be an ambassador for the brand.
But they didn’t want him.
You can’t regret staying where you’re not wanted. Results or no results you always go where you’re wanted. Only a fool stays where they are not.
£80 million good reasons every year why Toto is not going to miss Lewis
Of course, Lewis should have no regrets over his Mercedes departure! Three years of a four year regulatory period; Mercedes are dead. Lewis is a GLOBAL MEGA brand! The Mercedes brand is NOT the Ferrari brand. In racing, manufacturers can sustain down periods with respect to branding. Contrarily, a competitor’s personal branding is built and sustained on winning or at a minimum, being highly competitive. With Mercedes, Lewis was neither for three years. That’s brand damaging! If moving to Ferrari is a total flop, in terms of being competitive; so what? The Ferrari name will offer a buffer to Lewis’ brand. Let’s be honest, Ferrari is upholding LeClerc right now; not the other way around. Ferrari has boosted many names who weren’t performing “top tier.” It’s a powerful association. Lewis understands that he can use that association to sustain his brand even in a non competitive scenario. That’s why Lewis has no regrets. It’s low risk; with a potentially great reward! Lastly, Mercedes have not won the last two races. Russell, stumbled into a win due to the Max/Lando chaos. Lewis WON his race tactically. Let’s not act as if Mercedes have produced a championship car. They are still off the pace on Sundays. Lewis earned his win but, Max was still closing in at a rapid pace on hard tires at Silverstone. Red Bull and McLaren are still far ahead…..Mercedes are closing the gap, but, they’re still not close. Keep it real.
If you’re living life with regrets then you ain’t living life. Life is living you.. I digress
He did it for money and the place as a Ferrari driver, his championship years are behind him.
I hope this win wasn’t a farewell send off for Lewis
😭
What does it matter how good the Mercedes is in 2026, if they don't want Lewis there to drive it ? You need to go where you're wanted, and Ferrari wanted him.
Let’s not forget that Merc wasn’t ready to give more to LH than 1+1 year with no ambassador role…you can’t do that if Max is your main target…you cannot have regrets when your only option at Merc was no option at all…no future. Antonelli has been a smoke screen, Max is the only desire for Toto the man who cries Wolff.
Doing this live at the same time Red Bull were making a nice show at Goodwood... Come on Cam 😁
I know. I'm going back to re watch after the fact now 😭
Plan was to go earlier. But life
It’s about Merc not wanting him to be the driver to break schum. Record
And no one would want to face that up hill battle with there own team again it’s a disgrace how Merc had attempted to sabotage his career and very wrong hence he still rises to the occasion.. This is way deeper and political then just loads of money 💰
This is about legacy and (them ) that don’t want him to become the greatest driver in Formula 1 history.. out goating the goat 🐐. We won’t even mention race 🤫. Merc and Formula 1 will reap what they have sown…
A bigger power doesn’t like ugly and he has a way of letting you know it.
Mercedes will be in the hands of King George! Long may he reign! 1:20
Wel said Cameron.. respect 👍
Too kind sir 🍻
He should be happy to drive for Ferrari.. carlos doesn't deserve to be sacked.
performance wise theres really not that much to say about it...unless you go to an ultra dominant team with regs stagnant the outcome will be very uncertain.
Charles is kindof a wreck though at the moment i guess that could make the intra team battle a bit more easy.
Charles and lewis are kinda of the same, losing quite a lot of quality mentality when the car isn't to their liking. And they like different type of cars too that'll be interesting.
What is there to regret? He has accomplished everything possible and now it's time to move on! The fact that Ferrari is willing to offer him a contract at the age of 39, tells you EVERYTHING you need to know about their belief in him! Only time will tell providing that they are able to make him a good car?!
Imagine Max is going to Mercedes and start winning with Mercedes……
He willnext year.
The greatest trick the Merc fans ever pulled was convincing the world that their car was the worst.
We must come to realize, Lewis has have a huge part in developing this car. He will take thatbdrivers experience and talent to ferrari. I believe that is what ferrarivis missing. That is why out of the Box their car is good BUT the development requires racer and engineers, feeding data to designers. The peoblem was Merc didn't blisten to Lewis at first. I believe Now that they have the car foundation from Lewis, They are NOW using Russell to do all the simbtesting and development data because Lewis is leaving. Lewis will take his testing and development skills to Ferrari
Bye Mercedes hello 20 second pitstops Lulu.😂🤷😎
😭😭
Hello $100,000,000 and an ambassadorial role and the red car that everyone dreams of driving in… 🤷♀️
@@notaspeck6104 let me finish that for you " everyone dreams driving in the wet with slicks and on a dry track with inters". Fixed it! 😂
Even if Merc have a fast car next year...im sorry to say they wont win any title unless they manage to have a max or lewis in the car.
Lewis will win an 8th, either in 25 and 26...its written.
btw cameron do a vid on the rumours of Ferrari taking an ex merc colleague on board who is currently on garden leave - Mike Elliott (hes going to want revenge for sure)
That's a great shout methinks 😭
My Good Sir, Thought you may want to correct yourself in the eyes/hears of the world ! It Is EverythinGGG NOT EveritinKKK ?????
This is the accent. There's no saving it now
These days nobody, absolutely no body goes to Ferrari to “win championships”. It has become a meme and glorified bragging right. Lewis was thinking about 2026 and being able to say he drove for them.
Ferrari Will sure Regret him!! 😂
Merc's intentions were there, in full from way back. Maybe not Toto at 1st but other members of the board. So this has been in the making, the non fighting on behalf of their top driver back in Abu Dhabi, the sacking of Bottas, a relacing him with Russell, and the recent suspected prioritising of Russell over Hamilon himself.
Yes Hamilton has decided to go himself, but he was gradually faded, or pushed out by the actions of Mercedes, with no backbone from Toto to support Hamilton either. So when Ferrari came knocking, is was music to Hamilton's ears.
And it has even been said by the boss at Ferrari, if he does'nt win, he only needs to look good in Ferrari, and that's it.
So much richer, and with the role promised to him that he required from Mercedes that he did not get after he would retired, what was he to do. Mercedes won't be concerned with that, they had their plan from a long way back.
But if Max Does not come to Mercedes, and Ferrari come good, it could be doo doo on their (Mercedes) faces. Russell, Hmmmmmm.
Can't wait to see how all this pans out..
He's not interested in 2025.. All 👀 are on 2026 and he knows something others don't. In the same way he knew to move to Mercedes in 2013.
Mercedes didn’t win back to back the lucked into a win, then Hamilton won in silverstone on his own. Cameron you’re a joke 😂
George didn't win in Austria then? Ok mate. As you were
@@CameronF1TVyes he did win.
He lucked into a win.
@@jb-y1487gotta be in it to win it.. RUS was there to pick up the pieces.. (so to speak) and capitalise on the NOR & VER incident. Some would say not luck but fortuitousness.
After 2021 there were no more driver's championships remaining
for Hamilton at Mercedes as there were no more at McLaren after 2008.
Ferrari owes Hamilton a Championship just like McLaren owed Kimi his Championship.
Before he leaves for Ferrari, he must drive the Mercedes back to the front row of the grid,
Then he needs to get into the red car and join them there on his way to his eighth world title. MGABWH.
Sir Lewis will help elevate Ferrari into a consistently winning organization.
Ferrari wîll elevate Lewis to God status. You can win 7 times with any team, and you're a legend. However win once with Ferrari and your name will echo in eternity.
...that and free food in Italy for the rest of your days!
Why The Michael's name will echo in eternity while Hamilton will be "just another dude with seven titles" (to paraphrase Stephen Hendry). 😂
Like ferrari elevated Leclerc to champion? Oh, wait... Ferrari will be equally incompetent as they ever were. Lulu will get to experience some of that fine italian chauvinism that has cost that team dearly already for so long. Expect both lulu and Vasseur out by the end of next season, for obvious reasons, while Max will have his fifth championship by then.
