.. Old schumi reflexes are not what they used to be!

 

Dunno what happened there... It was as if he was phone texting while racing.

So Lewis goes to Mercedes, Perez to Mclaren, and MSC to ?

MSC into the back of anyone in front of him

Well, its official; Lewis is off to Mercedes next season and the likelihood is that Perez will replace him at McLaren.

Personally I think this is a 'win win' situation for both parties. This gives McLaren the opportunity to give other drivers the chance to develope their careers with an established team.

 

I think Lewis was in a 'rut' and the move will do him good. Maybe the first year spent developing a generally 'middle of the pack' car, and when the engine rules change for 2014 - 1600 Turbo's - into a championship winning car, will mature Lewis Hamilton as a driver and as a person.

 

I really hope it works out for him.

 

UPDATE:

 

Perez has signed a multi-year contract with McLaren

Lewis banking a lot on Merc and Brawn for the new engine regs I reckon... I see next year being one of frustration for him. From where I'm sitting he should have stayed, but ja, maybe he was just in a rut as coolcat said and needed to make the move for himself...

 

As for Button being No.1 I see him battling to asert that - Perez is the complete package. Reckon Ferrari will kick themselves in a year or 2 that they didn't give him Massa's seat...

I soooooo wish Kimi would race for Mclaren again..

['Dale]

Yeah, he's in firmly with Lotus...

Kimi signed for 3 yrs me think.

[covie]

Yeah not sure why hamilton would want to move to a B grade car, guess im going to have to scream for perez seeing as im not a button fan, would have prefered Rosberg or kimi in the mclaren seat though.

Is Massa gonna retain his seat at Ferrari...

 

I hope a new talent can be recruited.

Alonso is a moody one to team up with. :-)

Alonso wants to be the Number 1 driver. Thats why he couldn't get along at Mclaren. He felt Lewis was getting "preferrential" treatment.

 

I still think Lewis made a mistake signing a contract with Mercedes. Yes, Mclaren had reliability issues but it could also be driving style that caused engine failure etc.

It's a champion team and car wheras Mercedes has a lot to prove still.

I guess Lewis probably went for the money and attraction of taking Schumi's seat at Mercedes.... He'll regret it later as he wont be a championship contender anymore.

['Dale]

Alonso on track for his 3rd crown.

Let's see...

 

(Pun intended!) :-)

[Coolcat]

Even Kimi's laughing and he doesn't do that very often !!!
