Is anyone lowkey following these crazy rumors that Lewis might not race in Monaco??

It sounds completely bonkers but you know what that’s what I thought about the Dany/Max swap rumors when they broke so… But I mean, this is a whole other level of impossible right? I mean this has to be someone trying to stir up some shit in the press. Then again Wehrlein wasn’t supposed to test in Barcelona and then we got all these interviews with Lewis saying he wants to become a Mercedes legend… what’s the truth yo.

I still say it sounds beyond crazy. Brackley would be burned to the ground that very night.

“The next wild rumour is now firing in formula one, ahead of the championship’s ‘jewel in the crown’ event in Monaco this weekend. Corriere dello Sport, an Italian newspaper, reports that a mysterious incident involving Lewis Hamilton’s attendance at red carpet events in Cannes last week could mean the world champion sits out Monaco this weekend…

“Corriere dello Sport did not have any details of the apparent Cannes nightclub incident except to say that it might involve “stolen photographs”. Autosprint, an Italian specialist publication, said the incident reportedly happened at Cannes’ Gotha Club. The reports also said Mercedes officials were already not happy with Hamilton, who had been asked to test in Barcelona but refused.” (From here)

I don’t believe one word of it but it’s still making me cackle XD
