McLaren have not disclosed Lando Norris's contract extension either.
Likely. because it now has exit clauses the team don't want to make public which his previous contract did not . My guess is if Lando hasn't won a race by the end of 2025 or has massively been outperformed by Piastri then the team will allow him to look for other employment. Either way this new/revised contract will set Lando up for life.
@@TheSt1092That can‘t be the reason since Max has had exit clauses in his contracts from day 1 and RB always just announced how many years Max signed for.
There literally is no reason for either Ferrari/McLaren to not make the length of their drivers contracts public aside from trying to be edgy.
Hard disagree . It sis interesting that McLarens' X account is using the worlds contract renewal without any mention of the word extension . Lando didn't have break clauses in his previous contract now he does.@@Reaz399
That is cery flawed logic A Mercedes seat may avaliable in two years. . Break clauses are standard practices@@Reaz399
@@Reaz399 There is a reason, when a competitor knows a contract ends they can wait it out or put and pick the driver up for free, if not they'll need to buy the driver out.
Ferrari need to keep Charles, but they also need to prove to him that they can iron out the strategy errors and provide him a truly competitive car. 2022 started off well enough but ultimately ended up being a minor disaster, and while I was hyped for the 2023 car at first, it never felt really that close to Red Bull. Vasseur deserves a bit more time in his role as team principal (and Ferrari would be wise not to cast him away too quickly) and I'm far more optimistic about where the team is headed under him, especially since 2023 Ferrari wasn't nearly the laughingstock that 2022 Ferrari was in terms of strategic execution. But they need to continue to step it up and truly vie for race wins in order to justify keeping Charles. Otherwise he needs to seriously consider leaving.
I think now we know why they kept all the details a mystery
I'm split on whether I can see Legrerg leaving Ferrari. He seems to be a more emotional person (and not just anger like Max lol), so I think at times he seems too invested in Ferrari to be willing to leave. The team is there mainly for him right now, so he wants to reciprocate that loyalty.
The side eye at the beginning killed me😂. Keep up the good work man
The length of Landos' new deal is being kept secret too. Why do I think this is ? Well because I believe Landos' new deal is not actually a contract extension but a simple renegoiation of contract terms with renewal options and release clauses/mechanisms added alongside a little bit money . That way if thing go awry against Piastri then Lando and /orthe team have a way out of their collaboration. Even if Lando underperforms and is turfed out early by McLaren he will likely be set up for life with the level of money he is about to earn. I have sneaky feel one of those clauses may be he can leave iff Piastri does to him what he did to Ricciardo or Lando hasn't won a race by the end of 2025 . With Charles I suspect he has probably signed a one year extension until the end of 2026 with the options to extend thereafter . Though it is possible Ferrari would allow Charles continue to fall short and mess up the first year of the new 2026 rulws
driver contracts have clauses that are being kept from the media , that's pretty much how it works in F1
One thing for sure about this contract is that this could either give him an F1 title or it seals his fate to never win an F1 title if the contract lasts until 2029 as some have claimed late last year that he had a 5-year extension lined up. It's weird there's not much talk on the terms, but I'd imagine they'd want to keep it under wraps to keep Carlos' camp in the dark while also maybe being able to get away with not having to reveal certain release clauses like car or team performance ones that Ferrari may not be 100% in being able to fulfill.
Lots of people seem to be hinting that Charles should leave Ferrari. But where would he go? All the good teams are locked down with their drivers. No one wants the 2nd RB seat except for Daniel, Mercedes and McLaren have two good drivers not going anywhere and any other team would be a step backwards. So I think Charles is right to re-sign and for as long as he can get
well well, a seat, 'the' seat at Merc just opened up....
@@izzad777 who'd have thought
when leclerc signs with ferrari everybody acts like hes crazy.....when lando signs with mclaren everybody acts as if its a brilliant move for him
the double standards for ferrari are insane
I think the contract is most likely to be a 5 year deal that's a 3+2 type thing, it allows him to see how they're doing in the new regs and if he doesn't like what he's seeing with them he can easily dip, but if he likes what he's seeing there's another 2 years there for him to take. It gives an easy out for him if things are bad but also gives some stability on both sides that the partnership could be going until 2029
Same was the case for Lando as well. For both of them, their respective teams have underdelivered relative to their talent levels, so maybe not announcing a contract duration was a move by the drivers’ management, so other teams don’t exclude Charles or Lando from their future lineup plans.
I don't understand the "if you're not winning in this team just move to another" logic.
First of all, Schumacher fought for the championship 3 years straight from 1997 to 1999 before bringing the title back to Maranello; imagine somebody telling him to give up and move to McLaren in 1999.
Second of all, the same logic should apply to Russell and Norris: Mercedes has been terrible the last two seasons and Norris has never won a race after all these years. What are they supposed to do then, leave their teams? And where should all of them go?
Mercedes has been successful for the past decade, Mclaren is actually looking like they are on the up
Its ferrari in this circumstance that's the issue, its only sensible to move on if nothing is changing
@@HolofluxFerrari the only team to win a race this generation and leclerc the only time to overtake max in the last two years 😂😂😂
Well said mate. Look at what happened with Danny Ric swapping teams.
@@Christismyonlyking Tell me you haven't watched for long enough without actually telling me
Allegedly it’s a 3+2 deal like you mentioned
“Multi year contract with built in performance clause”
Yes.
There must be a performance clause in the contract because it really wouldn't make sense for him to sign on long term without it and suffer more seasons of Ferrari incompetence. I think they're definitely hiding something from Carlos because there are rumours going around that his contract negotiations have stalled, meaning Ferrari are probably not willing to give Carlos what he wants.
As a Carlos fan, but not necessarily a Ferrari fan, I’m hoping that Carlos will either go to Audi or back to McLaren (although I don’t see how that would be possible with Oscar there and Lando renewing/extending his contract this week) and then John Elkann can stuff it where the sun doesn’t shine.
@@lpollock7893 the problem with Audi is that it’s a new team so it’ll take a few years for them to fight at the top and I don’t think Carlos wants to wait that long. It’s probably why he’s pushing for a multi year contract with Ferrari. There are no spots available at any of the other top teams either unless he miraculously gets Checo’s seat but I don’t see that happening.
i think hes extended until the end of 2026 with an option to extend until 2029 depends on how ferrari do the 2026 regs
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁👍
Totally agree with your take
I think it's a yearly extension with a performance clause on Ferrari, same goes with Lando, because with Red Bull being the clear dominant force, a star driver not in Red Bull have all the cards to play in contract negotiations, especially with the second Red Bull driver under performing
Most contracts have exit clauses at both end. I think they did not disclose because Sainz has not signed yet! Its nit the first time someone does not disclose the length (multi year deal)
good video
Have you ever thought about making some videos about Aussie Supercars?
2024 Season will be Interesting.
Honestly winning 1 championship in ferrari is better than winning 4 in another team
Why would you reveal how long your contract is? Outside of my friends and family I can’t imagine why I’d want to tell anyone else how long I’ll be at a job.
Sainz is gonna go to Audi in 2026, and Audi is gonna dominate and Sainz is gonna get his first title before Leclerc
I used to feel bad for Charles for having to deal with the incompetent Ferrari strategists but c'mon now this guy just wants his career to not live to his potential. I'll still wish him the best as a fan but the dude is not helping himself by doing this
It’s a 30 year contract
Yep
30 years contract and 0 championships won, very sad
He *Can* go to any team he wants but which team will present a better shot? The choices then are very limited. Perez's seat is the only one I can think of....
I reckon it is a 2 + 3 contract, and if ferrari aren't title challengers in 2026 charles won't activate the +3
What about Lando Nowins?
With your video I just realised 2029 is just 5 years from now.
I feel old, I feel shocked, I feel depressed.
Actually, you know what, I could be an excellent 2nd driver for Ferrari
I can't remember where I saw it this week, but one of the outlets or creators had some media about every driver and their greatest weakness. Charles' only weakness? Ferrari.
It was Rick's F1 addiction ig
It’s the same as lance stroll too
This might, and indeed does, sound really stupid and I'm not a Ferrari fan (I was as a child, when Schumacher was there, tho) but I think IF there is one team, where it's possible that a driver doesn't just dream of winning a title, but winning a title with a specific team, it would be Ferrari. Not saying Charles thinks that, but as a longtime neutral observer I still think, that there is at least a chance higher than 0% that a driver might just risk not getting a title at all for the chance of getting one with Ferrari and that no other team really even has that potential for that kind of thing. Again, not saying it's the case or that many drivers think so, but winning it with Ferrari also means bringing back glory to Ferrari after decades of drought (except your name is Kimi), like if he'd go to RB or something and wins, it'll be amazing, but not Schumacher 2000 amazing. If he wins it for Ferrari he will be a feckin hero. No one did that since 2007, and between 2007 and 1979 just one other guy did it. Since 1964, that's 60 years ago, just five drivers won a title for Ferrari. So it would be something else. (But then there is money and an athletes will to win anything, at any price and all that...)
Mind your beeswax
What if Ferrari are forcing him to stay?
Bro got that 10 year extention 💀
He didn't.
Ferrari is the better choice despite the results. An iconic manufacturer with a healthy bank account should result in CL16 having a decent retirement. I would do the same.
He has plenty of money all thats left is the wdc
I appreciate loyalty. I've been watching F1 for 15 years and I've never felt that F1 fans value loyalty. What Lando and Charles are doing is something that is massively respected in football (fox example). Sticking with the one team that trusted and bet on you. I would still love to see Charles in a Red Bull or Mercedes, but I think that is way more epic to win a championship in a Ferrari after trying for many years that winning one in a Red Bull or a Mercedes.
A Championship in a Ferrari basically immortalizes you history. 100% it’s more prestigious than winning a championship for any other team.
Pretty sure by Charles actions and words he thinks so too.
and then came Hamilton ...
I bet that contract also force ferrari to bring in his bro to be a development driver even tho he sucks. #nepobro
Honestly? His love for Ferrari is going to be his downfall, they are unlikely to win any championships in the state they have been in for the past decade and him clinging to Ferrari while RB, Merc or even Mclaren are more likely to win a championship is the biggest mistake
no seat available at red bull he will be nr 2 to max since they don’t want 2 alpha drivers conflict . mercedes only possible if lewis retires not likely soon and also not sure if mercedes produces a better car than ferrari . mclaren have lando and piastri . ferrari is his only real bet
Day 1 of asking to brink Malaysia back
1st
Lemme guess.. multi-year contact with break clause
@@casualSimRacer3312 na and also typing..
I am still worried for Charles long term. If he sadly goes the whole five years without a win then his stock value to a more successful team will be almost zero by then. That would be incredibly sad for a driver that only five years ago was being termed by many as “the possible next Senna”…
Why should we need the details though?? McLaren havent released any details about Lando's new contract but I dont see you making a video about that? Is it because everybody hates Ferrari?
