Yeah my friend . I saw it earlier today and last week. HAM refused to sign the 40 million/Year contract ..
HAM demanded a 2 year contract => 50 million/Year .
Seems like It's never enough ...

That's why HAM said already in November : It's NOT sure I'm still here in 2021.
HAM will get a hard time , to change Daimler's financial restrictions..

Of course , Russells performance showed clearly HAM is NOT god .
But the Merc W11 is it ....

As you said,workers are being laid off because of covid and production drop off for vehicles ppl don't want; His demands are risible.

Isn't this what was said when the engine modes were restricted and RBR fell back in the subsequent race?

Oh no! You're missing four (4) of your "clap" icons

Your recent "subliminal" seven (7) icons are epic!

Whatever amount of money he takes or doesn't take won't change what happens to laid off Covid workers and MB is welcome to say no. They know he doesn't have better options if he wants to win next year so not sure why we are supposed to feel bad for MB. It's a business deal with them wanting him as a driver and to pay as little as needed and him wanting to drive for MB and get paid as much as possible.

I don't feel sorry/mad at either one of them and am fine with whatever deal they do or don't put together.

I think you felt sorry for Russell when MB "forced" Russell into a long term contract, now you feel sorry for MB as Hamilton "forces" them into a new contract? You seem lost on how these business deals work. All parties negotiate what is best for them and both can move on with someone else if things don't work out.

When I took my current job I negotiated a higher salary, more than I really needed and laid off Covid workers wasn't part of the discussion or would it change things if I took less.

Believe me Merc is the last team I feel sorry for, really!
You can't compare your negotiation for higher job salary with that what's going on with HAM and Merc/Daimler. HAM's negotiation manager used to be his dad but I gather he was sacked by him?
Daimler has said his pay demand is not in line with that of the current covid hit on production and workers so it has everything to do with it.

I think he has a new negotiating manager, the "sacked" is just something you dreamed up? There are lots of reasons not to have your dad negotiating a deal worth tens of millions of dollars and instead going to a professional.

If I were in Lewis shoes I would get the best negotiating manager I could get and negotiate the most money I could get. He works for a $200 billion dollar company, not a charity.

If I thought my father wasn't the right person to make this happen I would get a professional. Call it sacking him if you want.
