At the May 2023 FIA F1 Miami Grand Prix, Jason and I witnessed something unusual. We saw Lewis Hamilton stand out in the open, which he never does, for a very long time talking to a Ferrari official. At the time, he was negotiating a contract extension with Mercedes. The rumors seemed to suggest that the negotiations did not produce the results Lewis wanted. Plus, the Mercedes car wasn’t performing at a level to compete with Red Bull.

I captured these photos of Lewis walking in front of the Ferrari team facility and with the Ferrari team official. You can also see a video that Jason and I recorded speculating at that time about Lewis sending a message to Mercedes and potentially leaving them for Ferrari. VIDEO HERE
