Hamilton makes deal with Dennis regarding trophies
2008 World Champion Lewis Hamilton has made a deal with Ron Dennis to keep some of the trophies he has won. The McLaren Mercedes team usually keeps all the trophies won by their drivers, but Hamilton was able to cut a deal with Dennis.
Hamilton said at the Mercedes-Benz Stars & Cars event at Stuttgart: "They do keep all the trophies and I'm respectful of that. But I made a deal with Ron that I would get to keep the ones from my first podium finish, my first win, my first Monaco win and my first championship, so I'm happy with that."
