At $70 million a year, expectations for Lewis Hamilton are sky-high… but his start at Ferrari hasn’t exactly matched the price tag.

Lewis has been miles off of teammate Charles Leclerc during their time together at Ferrari. While Charles has achieved 9 podium finishes across the last 2 seasons, Lewis has only managed 1.

On the other hand, you’re not just paying for current results — you’re paying for legacy, experience, and the ability to transform a team. Hamilton has built dynasties before, and if Ferrari eventually give him the car, few would bet against him delivering.

So is this a massive overpay… or a long-term investment waiting to pay off?
