   I believe that the move to Ferrari will be exactly what Lewis needs to   
   rekindle his talent and push him towards an eighth title.   
   Alonso has shown that, within reason, age is no barrier (and Fangio was   
   Hamilton’s age when he won his first, of five, WDCs).

   Or that Lewis could win another six titles with Mercedes after leaving   
   McLaren.
