Do you think Hamilton would be champion in 2010 or 2011 if Button would have helped him?internetf1fan wrote:Today's race is why I am glad Lewis is leaving McLaren. Sure he won the race, but the fact that he will never get the support he needs compared to Vettel and Alonso means he's always on the back foot. Can you imagine McLaren doing to Button what Ferrari did to Massa to help Hamiltons WDC chances? Nope. Their equality policy is not working. How many championships have they won in the last decade? The only WDC came in 2008 due to the fact that Hamilton was a de facto #1. Even with a car that is clearly not the best Alonso is in the hunt for WDC exactly because they treat him with priority.
Bye McLaren. Enjoy another decade of not winning anything.
A few minutes ago, I read an article in which Whitmarsh said that Hamilton is better in battles on track than Vettel is. So why do you think Whitmarsh is having a grudge against Lewis. As far as we know he really wanted to keep Hamilton at Woking.example wrote:I really dont know what to make of MW. Is his decision making poor and thus he's not fit for his job, or he's just two-faced and has some kind of grudge against Lewis?
That's why I said he's two-faced. He likes to be in front of the camera. For example how long had took them to sort their pit stops? Horner and Domenicali are doing everything they can to help their title contender.McMrocks wrote:A few minutes ago, I read an article in which Whitmarsh said that Hamilton is better in battles on track than Vettel is.

Or do you know more than we? Do you know the reason why Hamilton is leaving McLaren?
The question was "If Sergio wasn't available" then who?? And he said Kimi wasn't available but him...dougskullery wrote:Martin Whitmarsh did a Q&A a few days ago with American car blog Jalopnik. Some interesting bits of info that I haven't seen elsewhere, including a hint that Kimi was their first choice to replace Lewis, and an all-but confirmation that McLaren will be returning to sports car racing with a works team.
Wouldn't normally post an article this old, but nobody else seems to have picked up on it!
Can't see any useful comparison been made there, if we consider F1 race experience prior to McLaren debut. However if you insist, the more experienced and talented (really?) Checo at the same age, is looking to beat nine podiums, four wins and six poles in his signature McLaren year.KATO wrote:The question was "If Sergio wasn't available" then who??

He also said They want to make Checho World Champion Next season since he's the same Age as Lewis when he debuted.. (In another Article)he said; CHECO has more experience then Lewis at his same age and more talent.. So it will be interesting to see what CHECO can do seeing what Lewis did compare their first few seasons.. to each other since they both had their debut seasons at the same age for McLaren.. I'm goin to have fun comparing data as he season progresses..
