Formula 1 is a motorsport category where 10 teams build distinct cars to a specification and race them at various circuits around the world. Each team has 2 drivers.
Lewis Hamilton is the presently most successful Formula 1 driver with the most race wins and tied with 7 World Championships, with his team Mercedes winning a record 8 team championships in a row. However, in the past 2 years following a change in sporting and financial regulations, Mercedes has struggled to build a car as competitive as rival team Red Bull Racing.
Lewis has received an offer to join Red Bull. He would be driving alongside rival Max Verstappen. Max is 12 years younger, and recently concluded the statistically most dominant Formula 1 season in history, taking 19/22 wins. Lewis and Max had a bitter rivalry during the 2021 season, with Max winning the championship in controversial circumstances.
For the purposes of this debate, Lewis is contracted to drive for Mercedes until 2025 and has yet to accept another offer.
