Lewis Hamilton’s first season in Ferrari red has been anything but straightforward. Still without podiums, and victories, the seven-time world champion’s transition from Mercedes has been marked by frustration on track and headlines off it.

At about 6:05 a.m., officers responded to reports of a person down and bleeding near 4th Avenue South and South Massachusetts Street. When they arrived, they found a man in a nearby parking lot with multiple gunshot wounds. Seattle Fire Department crews arrived shortly after and pronounced the man dead at the scene.

If Hamilton did call time on his F1 career at the end of the year, Ferrari would have an interesting decision to make regarding his replacement. While Haas’ Oliver Bearman is the standout option, Herbert believes that Fred Vasseur could look to an old friend to step in.
