He’s never going to win a driver’s championship, so it’s time he moved on. He doesn’t even seem to be much use against younger, new drivers.
Renault/Alpine do look to be possibly taking him back though.
Im sure he would add value, wherever he goes, but surely one of his many other interests will pull him away at some point.
So many excellent drivers over the years who also seemed like nice guys have suffered the also-ran tag being applied because they were team mates with legends. Still, not a bad way to pay the bills.
The "laughing about Ferrari's hard tyre"clip showed an old man next to two fitter young men, and we have seen many images like that this year. He was made for winning but when Mercedes develops a winning car again, George will be the next champion imo.
No one can last forever, biology and all that, but the legacy that you leave as your history can be more important than a few more world championships. When you've broken pretty much every record there is in a sport, handing the reigns to a younger gifted and equally as humble driver such as George will be a beautiful transition to retirement.
