Ferrari is the place where former world champions go to become old and bitter wearing red jumpsuits. It’s not the place where you have a great final act to your sport career.

And I say this as a life long Ferrari fan.

Just look at Seb. Since he left Ferrari he looks like he’s having fun again!

I think Seb was having fun because he no longer felt stressed about trying to win a world championship. His new focus was to do as well as possible, but not necessarily the best.

Absolutely. But that’s part and parcel of the Ferrari curse. Every time it’s “this is going to be the year” and then it’s not. It’s very much not.

Still, 🐎

Right? He’s got mad “dad messing around with the kids showing them how it’s done” energy now, instead of “sad man in red pajama pining for the glory days”
