I just got back and needless to say, I missed the Spanish F-1 GP completely. Luckily, technology  came to  the rescue, I searched and found two interesting videos, especially the first video which is all about the first corner.

2019 SPANISH FORMULA 1 GP:

The Start:

Race Highlights:

In short, Hamilton beat Bottas - the pole sitter at the first corner and led from start to finish to win!

Speculation is that Hamilton will move to Ferrari next year.

Hamilton has made his money through salary and from product endorsements.

If he makes a move for his future contract, it has to be with "legacy", i.e. beating Michael Schumacher's.  Right now, Ferrari does not have the power unit to justify that move!

At least, I wouldn't until Ferrari shows more promise!

It's all a slick negotiating tactic on the part of Hamilton. He wants a huge raise if/when he wins the championship this year, at whatever team he goes to.
Ferrari needs a driver who is able to set-up the car, which Lewis does well from racing karts on a shoestring in his formative years. This is the same situation that led Ferrari to hire Micheal Schumacher and thus began their domination last decade.

IMHO, Schumacher was not and will never be among the racing greats because he joined Ferrari at a time when Ferrari was dominant while other teams were not even close.  In addition he was a dirty driver, he intentionally hit Damon Hill during the final race of a year to win the championship.  The following year, he tried the same tactics on Venenlue something (check spelling) the Canadain driver, but it backfired and the Canadian won his one and only world championship.

I also blamed Schumacher for the death of Aryton Senna because he did not remove the software for improving a car's cornering ability (I forgot the right term) which was legal the previous year but banned that following year.  due to this hidden advantage, Senna was forced to drive, perhaps just a little over his limit, resulting in his untimely death.

After the race, Schumacher's car (Benneton) was found with the software in question installed, but he said he never turned it on.  How could anyone find out whether the software was turned on or not??  It was all politics, F-1 Management accepted this ridiculous explanation and subsequent report never dwelt on this possible cheating.

Coming back to the issue you raised, if and when Hamilton breaks all existing record, he might join Ferrari to satisfy a dream/fantasy even when Ferrari is half-competitive.  Right now MB will give Hamilton the best chance of setting a new championship record!

MB Racing is reliant on funding from Mercedes Inc. The car company can pull out of F1 if the corporation deems it not in their interests any longer. They did 70+ years ago after a horrific accident. Honda, Renault, and Toyota did the same several years ago.
Ferrari will never quit F1 and will always be competitive. They are in a desperate strait and need a leader to bring them back to top form. Schumacher left the winning team Benetton to go to Ferrari when they couldn't get a car to finish a race. In 2-3 years he transformed them into a winning dynasty. That's where he got most of his records.
