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 .
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 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 .
Twenty years ago today , this man died from a Brain Tumour . He was 34 . Four years to the day after winning the World Rally Championship . Richard Burns .
