I think so LOL.
I am shocked perez is moving to mclaren, ferrari have missed out big time. Perhaps nando doesn't want a team mate who can pomp him
.
Go perez my new driver to support. Been awhile since i have liked a driver so much. Very sennaish, amazing what he does with that car. Call it what you want but he is a world champion in the making.
Lewis more than likely will become like alonso when he moved to renault. I doubt it will affect mclaren though, they want the world title and will ensure they give hamilton and button the best they can. 2.4 second pit stops certainly help. Wow that is ridiculous.

Honestly I don't see why people rave about Perez, strategy and a car that is not hard on tyres helped him getting those podiums. At most of the other races he has looked average with a "normal" strategy. We'll see next year, if he wants to be a WDC he needs to beat Button easily.

He has looked average on some circuits due to his car not being capable of doing anything, we will see but he will become on of f1's best drivers. He already is. I think what you fail to understand is that the tires require management. Meaning you have to be very good at keeping up the pace while keeping the tires in tact and he does it better than anyone. Remember when he was leading last time out or the last time hamilton won, he was keeping pace with people that had newer tires while he had done 27 laps on them, he was leading but they were not eating into his lead.
We will have to wait and see but watch perez, given a car that qualify in the top 4 every gp will see him become a world champion. Look at massa, he has a much better car and how many times has massa been on the podium?

LOL!!!
Two sides to this coin... Macca aren't willing to spend the extra money... and I support them in this. Hamilton probably deserves more than they're paying by the old standards, not the new (cost cutting). I support a team that doesn't just splash out like Ferrari did on Schumi. It's not good for the industry. That said, I'd say good for Hamilton if he went for the money - how can you deny his motive. You work for #1 and then the team mostly.

What I want to hear is the engineers transfers. We really should hear more about the upper level engineers and designers too - they have a huge impact on the WC. If a 'silly season' was developed around them, we might see more movement in those ranks too.

Rubbish without mclaren lewis would be nothing, he would have had to start f1 in some crap car, instead they put him in the best car. How many drivers have been able to jump into a car that is the best? Granted he did well but loyalty and love of the sport should conquer money.
Sure you can drive for number 1/yourself but mclaren have been very good to hamilton and if he has left for money he is an absolute joke. Good on mclaren for letting him go if he was being a little bitch and wanting more money.
They have perez, he will pump hamilton

I'm not sure how you can say McLaren are the be all and end all of driver development. That's rubbish.
Did Schumi learn to drive in a Macca? LOL
Would you get all emotional and stay if another firm offered you more after your current firm went through a rocky patch? If so, good for you, I'm sure alot of people wouldn't. There's no reason Hamilton can't drive a winning Mercedes... Button drove a winning Brawn lol.
It's a fickle game. Ask Ferrari.

I would stay yes, if a firm took me from a nobody and made me somebody over night i would ride that boat until it sunk. I would even take a pay cut to ensure the boat stays afloat.
When the going gets tough the weak get going. Cheers hamilton. I hope you become like alonso, stuck in a useless team for a couple seasons.
Hamilton should be thankful he got such a great firm to hire him and they gave him a car capable of pole and winning every race in his first season. leaving for financial gain bwhahaha, i hope they give him a shyte car next season, i hope he sits in rosburg's situation.
Button drove a car that was the best at the time, hamilton has never really had a poor car. He has always been in a car that can win and i hope that changes next season
. Come on mercedes, fail as hard yet again. Although having read your comment again i get the sense you have no idea what mclaren did for hamilton.

Well, that's what contracts are for. He delivered a WC title in his second year. Macca are quite capable of looking after their own interests and would have offered him more if they wanted to. Its business like any other. I've seen so many people get the 'oh I'd never leave my company' attitude and have an about turn later in their careers. Sometimes change is what you need to get motivated again.
Your problem, Killa, is that you are too passionate and emotionally fixated on certain things and Hamilton failing is just one lol. No offence, its just that obvious. Anyway, ill worry about next year when it comes.

I assumed you were referring to Lewis' long history with McLaren. If not then I don't understand why you assume Lewis owes McLaren anything.

Ok didn't seem like you realized the history or why hamilton is the man he is today. It also never seemed like you knew he started f1 with mclaren in the best car, cannot recall that ever happening so he was lucky. Anyways i hope mercedes come good next season, rosburg needs a good car but i am not certain they can build him one.

Well this sucks. I like Hamilton but I am an even bigger McLaren fan. I can barely stand button and now we have chop face Perez
What is wrong with perez other than he is driving well?
Exactly Perez is brilliant and I have doubts of Mercedes ability to provide a winning car. But heck Sauber and Lotus are big surprises so maybe!

In all honesty, Lewis repaid whatever debt he may have owed to Mclaren in 2007 when he was runner up in his debut season and setting the record for the youngest to do so, then winning the championship in 2008. Add to that he has been near the sharp end since then if he had better team mates, Mclaren would have had a couple team titles as well along the way. He owes the team nothing and management made the mistake of thinking he does and wanted him to take a pay cut of all things!?!? Good on him for moving
As a Mclaren fan, I'm very dissapointed to see him go, however I'm looking forward to Perez and seeing what he can do with a quick car and not one just good with tyres.
