I sincerely have no idea. It is so hard to tell what is car and what is driver with the top teams IMO.

LH better think about slapping himself into reality right now. If he does not fit in at McLaren, and win right now too, then he might not get another real chance and not at the money he thinks he wants either. This is the LH that Wayne said quaoting LH as " he doesnt want to be remembered like Micheal Shumacher.." . He does not have a chance at that. Drivers, writers, and fans, will all be talking about MS as long as there is F1. LH will be long forgotten.

Danica is obviously smarter than LH. Danica has learned that you dont come out on your team in public. Of course Danica is obviously a lot better looking than LH too .

Hmmmm......

Maybe McLaren will drop LH and pick up Danica. She likes doing sponsor deals anyway. And it would keep up her out of NASCAR too !

Jeeezus christo .... you guys ....

Hamilton is on his way out of Mclaren this path was set 2 yrs ago , Button is the number one driver there, has been so since he entered the picture.

Expect to see Hamilton at Mercedes in the near future, next year will be his last at Mclaren and yes the team is farking him and he will never win another WDC if he stays , it has been written ...


Fortunately for Hamilton Button is slow ......................

After the Indy thing, when I have seen her of late on TV, she has been more complimentary of her team(s) and much more accepting her role in the outcome. But that is just what I saw.

That could be. She was humble in Toronto. She's got a pretty bad image to shake though.

Best post of the thread. Most seem to be forgetting what it is like to be in their 20s. We are all full of ourselves, can do no wrong and know everything (those were the days my friend). Lauda complaining about Lewis' lack of maturity show he has forgotten also. No doubt, LH has stuck his foot in his mouth a few times this year, but he's got to be really frustrated with his and his car's poor of performance.

Ah but back in Lauda's day, there were no media coaches. Now, these guys travel with all sorts of media shapers & PR consultants who constantly train them how to get their message out w/o ****ting on the team. Obviiously Lewis is a slow learner in this department.

Not sure if he is "faster" but better indeed as a human being and a LOT smarter!! That makes a big difference in Racing.
Did you watch the latest Top Gear episode? What a truly great guy Vettel is, while Hamilton has shown signs from the beginning of really being a sour soul.

Have Tony Stewart hire him as their third driver Stewart-Haas Racing, start him off in the Nationwide Series, and let him get banged around for a few races....Then he'll be begging to go back to McLaren....
