Who owns this house?

I presume its owned by the family still but I could be wrong

It's owned by the company (or the museum on its grounds is anyway)

Probably nothing that juicy. I have a family member who is a sports journo so they get press releases for this kind of thing ahead of the official announcement so they can be prepared ahead of time.



I am just looking at it as some fun fluff. Noones going to show any real secrets car wise and it's just a promo opportunity for everyone to be in one place. I will try for tickets (unless they want ridiculous money) since I live in London anyway, but I imagine that numbers wise for the O2 vs demand, I've probably got more chance of Sir Lewis Hamilton asking for my hand in marriage than getting tickets 🤣

I saw something about prices earlier, most expensive ticket is £113 I think

Found it

So if Lewis will be living in the house belonging to the museum while he stays at the factory, technically will he be part of the museum? 🥰 😅😅

Disclaimer: I know how it sounds, but in no way is this an attempt to objectify him - I mean it in "can we visit him while we are there" way, not in Toto's "shelf life" way nonsense (btw when he wins 8th WDC i want Lewis to mention this, I am sure he noticed what was said 😅

Poor Charles - Lewis is already the fave before even starting and they are rolling out the red carpet (pretty sure his custom new Ferrari will be ready before the first race

but security wise very clever - guess they might even have a heli pad so nobody knows it’s him and pretty sure they will set up a lot of testing in the old car for him to get used to the Ferrari

also perfect for team building - pasta class incoming

Yeah, Ferrari doing a lot for Lewis is one thing, because with him comes not just titles and experience and fame and aura but also marketing value as he is a brand for himself. But he also needs to get to hearts of Tifosi for whom Sharl is the Prince, their boy, and I think Lewis will need a little effort to match it. I am sure he will be loved but Tifosis love and care for Sharl will be something he never faced before when it comes to a teammate. 😅 🥰 🥰

PS are you back from your travels Sternchen or still on the road

agree - but if Lewis wins & maybe make an effort to the fans showing up at the track then I can see everyone falling in love with him

Still travelling, enjoying the humid 30 weather (but I fly home on Friday (so basically the last full two days after today 😔

If he wins for sure, I think the love will be there much earlier, but with some activity from him - not with just his smile and wink for once - at least one Forza Ferrari Sempre pronounced properly, with feelings😆, is needed (still it will be fascinating to watch his and Sharl's dynamic, I can't wait)

Enjoy the rest of your travels!

Something George would wear

Someone definitely thought they were styling George Russell, not Oscar Piastri. Even the hair is giving George.

Oh Oscar, Clarkson is a bit of a nob

He is, but I think generally F1 fans don't mind Clarkson, because he is a "proper" F1 fan. And Clarkson's Farm has done amazing career rehab for him.

As much as he is a bit of a pillock, I don't mind Jeremy Clarkson.

Oscar has only gone there to steal all the Hawkstone beer that Clarkson would send to Alpine to celebrate their Brazil success, like he did after Hungary.
