Well finally official

So I guess the marketing hold is over and they can finally announce the contract.

A one-year deal. Interesting.

I get this feeling that LH is going to step into the management side of the team at some point. I see LH as too much of a racer and competitor to do this, but we will see.

I’m not surprised at a 1 year deal.

Gives Lewis:
- the opportunity to win #8 in 2021
- the opportunity to see how the Merc development/progress for 2022 looks and decide if he wants to sign for 2022 or move on

...Also gives Merc the opportunity to walk away.

Set the record and get out.
