    Have to say I agree with Tom .
    Lewis speaks from the heart and that was only published 8 hours before you posted it . .

    I saw an article earlier this year where he said he was looking forwards to 2026 , as he felt the team valued his input into the development of next years car .

    Those aren't the words of a leader driving the team forwards though, that's my point.

    That’s very true .

    I do wonder why they signed him .

    I don’t think Fred had any say in it and Elkann wanted him for the image ( PR ) he would bring and :emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash::emoticon-0164-cash:

    Lewis was probably fed the team leader stuff , and combined with the “ Magnificent History and pull of THE team “ ( not my opinion ) , he fell in love .

    + the huge pay ( think I read his minimum is more than Charles maximum ) , + the fact he’s a bit of a romantic , this all lead to him signing .

    He also seems to have struggled massively to adapt to some simple ( are they ? ) but vital operating methods .
    Communications , how the steering wheel functions are set up .
