It may sound ridiculous - but humour me before battering!

Admittedly I am more of a fan of SV the man rather than the driver. However, he is clearly very quick - you can't get 4x WCs by mistake.

So - think about it...
- Substantial cash injection from Larry S
- Mercedes engines (& who know what other support from Brackley)
- Likely to be (relatively) non-political
- Looking potentially bl**dy good for 2020 / hence probably also 2021, given how things are panning out
- Fresh Start with a new 'brand'; but well-backed n- could it reinvigorate Seb; which is ultimately what I think he needs?
- Little to lose if agree to a 1 year contract - with option to extend

Seeing 2x potential barriers to SV....
- Would Larry put Lance on the sidelines for a year or two (iirc Perez contracted to 2024)?
- How would he justify his salary expectations?

Finally - I reckon that Seb & Serg would make a very interesting pairing - the odds wouldn't necessarily be that high on Seb coming out on top...?

His official statement via Ferrari indicated to me that he is leaving the sport.
