Mercedes is going nowhere so I'm just going to throw shit at the wall and see what happens

I'm going to retire soon and I'll kick myself if I don't drive for Ferrari at least once in my career, they're a historic team
Both Hamilton and his father have mentioned in the past that they'd like him to drive for Ferrari before retiring. I can imagine that this is what they're doing since Mercedes have lost many leading people in recent years.
