    Depends on whether Hamilton really is going (doubt it)

    If he is then Michael may well be being pushed. If not its probably because he lost faith in Mercedes to ever take him back to the front. I mean look at the "big update" today.

    Its a shame.

    As much as I'm dying to find out what's happening with the driver market, it seems that Lewis is thriving on the situation so maybe I'd like it continue. Still, Eddie says Wednesday's the day; let's hope it's not a Black Wednesday...

    I just don't know who to root for anymore, Lewis has McLaren by the balls with regards to the WDC+WCC and McLaren have Lewis' career by the balls.

    But by logic I hate McLaren more than Lewis so I hope he starts to squeeze them a bit more to make Ron and Whitmarsh **** bricks out the other side!

    After these last 4 races, Hamilton would be mental to leave McLaren. They clearly have the best car, will probably have a better car than Mercedes next season, and the season after etc.

    The Macca is on top form, but so is Hamilton it would seem. That combination makes for a bloomin' strong pairing. If only they could manage it consistently! Though I'm sure you'd disagree on that last part. :)

    Hamilton should stay at Mclaren but I fear that as with Prost and Senna he and his team-mate are incompatible, and with Button's contract seemingly not in dispute Hamilton may go to pastures new to challenge him and ensure that

    Ironically if pressed you'd normally consider Hamilton to parallel Senna - but of course I mean that Button represents the not-so-young pretender who has walked into "Hamilton's" team, challenged him, potentially sabotaged his WDC bid and who seemingly has the team principal's backing over him.



    That said this could all be bollocks and Hamilton wants more money. See his body language after the race. We're good at that. <whistle>

    It's like we no longer have to talk anymore Kyle, they can do it for us now and so we can finally retire!

    My mission is complete, goodbye Earth!

    I'll guess. He'll be miserable.

    He's the F1 equivalent of Dani Pedrosa, he could lap the entire field and still look like his dog had died.

    Ah! don't knock it buddy as I have been pretty damn accurate using that **** this year. Apart from Canada and Germany I've been bang on the money with race performances etc...

    You may laugh but my insanity will be respected!

    I read an article about Andy Murray which could explain Lewis's demeanour post-win. Basically, what it says is that when you've used all your energy and the adrenaline drops away, so does your mood and you appear drained and miserable.

    It also reminds me of something Whitmarsh once said about not needing "to whoop it up in the cockpit". He was referring to Vettel, of course. ;)

    A featurette in Private Eye entitled "The Complete Faces of Andy Murray" springs to mind here ;)

    I don't knock it! <whistle> I always think it's quite good, I'm just remembering the Hamilton fans who called us "amateurs" <laugh>

    Hey guys, I'm happy to be wrong! I just think he was deprived of an opportunity he was probably expecting.
