I don't have high hopes for this relationship



So, Lewis Hamilton showed up for his official first day of work the other day at Ferrari. Of course it was just one big photo op with lots of shaking of hands and a few courtesy phrases in Italian thrown out to the mechanics.

But right from the get go I had a bad feeling that this relationship is not going to work out. 

Now, I would love to see Ferrari on top again, I think it would be great for F1. Actually, it would be better for F1 if Haas, Williams, or Alpine were on top of the leader board but, if Ferrari could get there it would still be great. Verstappen is getting annoying and it would be cool to see Hamilton make a come back.

But, what is up with the clothes? Seriously, this doesn't scream "let's roll up our sleeves and get to work and win some races."

This screams to me "I'm more interested in fashion than getting my hands dirty.”

C'mon, what is up with the coat just gently placed over the shoulders? I know, it's Italy and it's all about the silk suits and silk ties. 

But I want good racing, not fragile egos.

I guess we'll have to wait and see. But I'm already turning up my nose at this.
