    It took the driver to push it to the absolute. Beautiful as it is.

    Despite what Gandulf says, Anderson made some very good cars, but rarely had the engines to match the top teams.

    What he did with Ford HB, Hart & Peugeot engines was pretty good. When they got Honda backing they were front runners for a number of years and gave the top teams a real headache getting in their way!

    Well she is much easier on the eye though. Everyone deserves a chance.

    He still talks a lot of ****. I remember in Hungary 2009 when one of his "contacts" reliably informed him that Massa just had a bump on the chin.

    Quite right, Kyle.

    I was thinking more Suzy Perry.

    So I am assuming Mclaren didn't, which is why this talk about them failing is going on.

    Yes, I think McLaren thought of Hamilton more as an employee, which he was of course, rather than a very important component of the ream.

    I remember Ron Dennis remarking something like "We pay his wages".

    Well, that may prove not be the most appropriate approach when dealing with the most talented driver on the grid.

    Lewis appears on the face of it to be quite happy with Mercedes.

    Paul bloody Weaver and the Guardian, well known for their knowledge of things F1, pompous idiot, and yea, why no "comments" follow up, complete Aussie prick.

    I wonder if Weaver will earn enough to paint his private jet red, the tosser.

    I do wonder why Lewis would still talk to him though, he must know what to expect from Weevil by now.

    Guardian should get Richard Williams back as their chief F1 reporter, Weaver comes very much from the Andrew Benson school of journalism

    I guess it still shows his honesty and naivety, and perhaps Lewis still has some faith in human nature.

    SRR,RB: Yes to both those points. Not sure I can add anything much but he does still seem remarkably naive sometimes, for better and for worse :)
