Well, nothing lasts forever.
I've never been Ferrari fan, but this might be good move for both HAM
and Ferrari.
I can understand Hamilton, since all F1 drivers dream to drive for
Ferrari. But, really what could be his motivation? More chamionship
wins, more money?

Anyway, great for the sport and could turn out to be a master stroke.
For sure! It would be great! Ferrari need success for years. But, top
driver is not enough. They need to fix their organization. So much
errors and strange decisions.

That's what made Hamilton's move odd to me. Speaking as a Ferrari fan, while there was some improvement, the Merc is still IMHO the better car compared to the Ferrari. The strange decision making didn't help
Ferrari, either. Perhaps Hamilton knows something we don't?

Maybe I'm a cynic, but I feel that the reported $100M may have something
to do with the move.
OK, that's a LOT of money. But, Hamilton has already accumulated big
pile of money. Probably hundreds of millions. I don't think that
another hundred mil is the main motivation.

Most of the 'greatests' of the last decade or 3 have done Ferrari at
some time.

I hope you are right but my gut feel is that this is mostly just a
prestige lap for both him and Ferrari.
Yea. Hamilton has decided that Merc can no longer provide him with a car
to take another championship. As LH has always said that he wanted to
drive for Ferrari at some point in his career, now that the stars have >aligned he has jumped for it. It may be the only chance he'll get.
I know some are saying that LH thinks he has a chance with Ferrari but I >don't buy it. LH will of course, try for another championship, but I
don't think he really believes he will be able to do it.

I think that if Hamilton didn't believe he could win another
championship he would have retired. He has plenty of other interests.
I suspect that most of the grid believes they could win the championship
with the right car - even drivers almost all of us would assess as
having no chance. Hands up if, before the 2016 season, you thought
Rosberg would ever be able to beat Lewis to the championship.
I think that if Hamilton didn't believe he could win another
championship he would have retired.
