Didn't expect that.
I didDidn't expect that.
To be honest I had assumed he would, but a few interviews he did recently seemed to suggest the opposite.I did
He been contemplating this for a while and all but said in his latest interview his conscience was weighing on him anc I think his heart isn’t it any more.
He’s a very principled man and he sticks up for what he believes in. I think he’ll take on a similar role in his retirement.
He raced in Russia, China and Abu Dhabi for long enough without seemingly being too bothered, but he defintiely seemed more politically motivated and willing to court controversy around diversity and equality the last year or two.I also think the recent move to race in places like Saudi with questionable regimes hasn’t helped either.
So thats means it did happen?Think the project promised to him by Aston Martin has obviously not failed to materialise.
A driver of his undoubted skill and race craft shouldn't be scrapping about at the bottom of the order with a car that's a bag of ****.
Can't say I blame him. He's set for life, has a young family that he'll see a lot more of now and has a cemented legacy before it becomes too tarnished with Aston Martin colours.
In hindsight when he left Ferrari and didn't get the Mercedes job he should have wrapped in there and then.
