Would Bono, unless Ferrari is going to pay him a stupid amount of money (and by stupid I mean "I can retire on this"), really want to leave Mercedes? Lewis is 40 and nearing the end of his career; he races maybe three or four more years tops? Then would he want to be stuck in the circus that is Ferrari without Lewis?
I'm not so sure I would.
Post-match Arteta said Zinny told them he “felt something” in his calf, and that’s why he subbed him for Kiwior. Like you, I thought it was a proactive tactical switch, instead of waiting for an error to pull him. Hopefully it’s nothing serious.
I’ll say it: I was nervous about this one, esp with Jesus out. What a performance outside of the final 30 seconds of the 1H. We scored all four. Should have scored at least two before the break. Withstood their push to start the second, Martinelli got a beautiful winner, then we saw out the remainder of the match before Trossard’s clincher. All around, a damn good performance and exactly what we needed.
100%.
Cry, bitch. Carra when Liverpool win: “Look at Klopp’s passion! You have to love it!!!” Carra when Liverpool lose: “You must silently walk off the pitch so as to not hurt my feelings any further.”
Rice and Jorg were outstanding today. Bossed midfield.
Let’s go, you Gunners!!! Lets. Fucking. Go.
Got lost in the Hamilton to Ferrari news, but the Japanese GP & Suzuka signed an extension to remain on the calendar until 2029. There are a few tracks that should be on calendar every year; Suzuka is one.

Rumor is a high-ranking Merc engineer, who like Lewis disagreed with the direction the team took with the 22 & 23 car, recently moved to Maranello.

Yeah, this seems odd to say the least. Between "we are now going with Plan E. Plan E", "we are checking," and "question," Hamilton's head is going to explode. The only way this makes sense is if he's taking Bono and the Merc strategy team with him. Maybe he always wanted to driver for Ferrari at some point in his career. Otherwise... yeah, this seems like the boldest of bold strategies, Cotton.
