Ferrari to offer Hamilton $50 million
Ferrari is reportedly preparing to offer seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton US$50 million to leave Mercedes for the Scuderia at the end of the season
Hamilton, 38, has repeatedly said he plans to re-sign with Mercedes once his contract expires at the end of the year. However, the Daily Mail reported Monday that Ferrari president John Elkann has been “in close contact with Hamilton.”
Hamilton currently shares the all-time record of seven championships with legendary Ferrari driver Michael Schumacher.
For his part, Hamilton has remained consistent in his stance that he intends to remain with Mercedes.
“I'd be lying if I said I'd never thought about ending my career anywhere else,” Hamilton said at the Miami Grand Prix earlier this month. “I thought about and watched the Ferrari drivers on the screens at the track and of course you wonder what it would be like to be in red. But then I go to my team, to Mercedes, and this is my home.”
Ben Roethlisberger quarterbacked the Pittsburgh Steelers for 18 seasons and to two Super Bowl championships. And he admitted it was hard seeing someone else under centre last season, his first post-retirement.
On his podcast, Footbahlin with Ben Roethlisberger, he told successor Kenny Pickett he didn't exactly wish him well.
“Early on I didn't want you to succeed because you followed me up. I didn't want it to happen,” Roethlisberger said to Pickett.
“I think that's probably the selfishness of me, and I feel bad for it.”
Roethlisberger said he warmed to Pickett as the season unfolded.
“As you started playing, I found myself rooting more and more for you,” Roethlisberger said. “I'm glad I transitioned to loving and rooting for you.”
