Race for Ferrari, Mosley tells Hamilton
#11
All Max said was he shouldn't rule it out ie "never say never" it's not like he said join Ferrari next season. like it or not Ferrari is the oldest and most historic team on the grid and everybody can appreciate the sense of privilege and pride that comes with racing for the Scarlet team.

I think a man is disqualified from giving any sort of advice on any topic to anyone when he allows himself to be spanked by ze jugend-strippers in his spare time . . .

Hamilton will fantasize riding the red one, sooner or later

It's been shown that both Bernie and Max are completely in love with Ferrari. It does seem very strange to me that they are so incredibly biased for the red cars in so many aspects ranging from rule making (look at all the penalties Hamilton got as a result of pressure from Ferrari) to extra money (Ferrari gets an $80M+ bonus over any other team when they win a WCC). It's absolutely despicable, imo.
Anyway, I can see Max's viewpoint about how many young drivers dream of one day driving for Ferrari, but I don't think Hamilton has ever had the desire to drive for the red team given how well he is treated at McLaren. He won the WDC with them after finishing 2nd in standings the year before (and his first year in F1) so he obviously has a great relationship with the team. If McLaren wasn't putting in the effort to help him perform at 110% of his abilities, I could understand if his eyes started wandering towards Ferrari's garage, but I really do believe Hamilton and McLaren have a wonderful, symbiotic relationship that will continue for a long time to come.
