Current Lewis Hamilton

A place to put all the posts from all the other threads primarily but love him or hate him, and even for the indifferent amongst us this is the place to discuss the marmite that is Lewis Hamilton, to learn a thing or two about his rise, talk about those controversial, genius or mad moments and something that i am bemused by, the recent articles that suggest something quite different to my perception of what's going on. Any experiences of meeting LH?

Brundle had to write a Lewis Hamilton article recently and in my tweets (which were probably ignored) I asked him to talk about LH the driver not LH the personality. It seems that you can't have one without the other.

So as a starter for ten, here is a fairly recent LH article. Posts should not be limited to this link but it can get some discussion going. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/formula_one/13755883.stm

The only banned topic as it is clearly ridiculous involves these four things "Glock" "2008" "Brazil" "conspiracy"
 
That's my point Brogan... of course he is in negotations with two parties... and his preferred is to stay at McLaren... for mine, it is all about the money... so... use whatever leverage you have to get what you want (ie. greater commercial freedom) from the place you want to be (McLaren)... what chance would he have of that if there wasn't a Mercedes to play off against McLaren with...
 
Anyone see Lewis's tweet yesterday. Possibly doing some soul searching ?
Not sure what to make of this. Was he thinking of his retirement in Singapore or his future contract options...:thinking:

At a guess I would say it refers to his retirement - he probably accepts that barring a fortuitous turn of events, his chances of the WDC are over once again.
 
For Hamilton, it's good that came out this week rather than next week - as even the best of us would get distracted by incidents like this! (even if it is completely innocent between two old friends)... Personally, I'd question Nicole scherzinger's choice of friends though.....
 
Bloody hope not, but that does look pretty certain. I'd consider it to be terrible news, at least as far as 2013 goes and beyond that everything becomes a bit of a lottery. :(.
 
Beat me to it Viscount! Was just going to post that telegraph link. Well If thats true I think its exciting news and Whitmarsh may rue some of his behaviour over the past two years. 2013 may indeed be a tough year for hamilton but 2014 onwards could be very good.
 
I don't think Whitmarsh will 'rue' anything if Perez carries on the way he has then he still has the best driver line up in F1.

I wish Lewis well at Merc. Will be interesting to see if he can pull them up by their boot straps. I hope he does because having 4 teams reg going for wins would be amazing. Just hope he can keep his cool if the Merc turns out to be as unreliable as this year......and the fans can keep theres!
