Lol the express... Sorry but he won't be going you're just clutching at straws now. 1: The team is dominating with seb, why change things? 2: Sebastian is a red bull youth product, why try to make things harder for him adding a big mouth like Lewis. 3: Lewis is a McLaren product and won't get the same treatment from Red Bull. 4: Much, MUCH! Cheaper drivers can fill in Webbers role and do the same thing. 5: He is contracted for 2012, sebastian could be a 3xWDC before he roles in trying to cause ripples. 6: Red Bull have said they don't want him. 7: The number 2 seat has a youth products name on it. 8: Keep looking at the other 7 reasons until it sinks in, the kid is staying at McLaren or jumping to Mercedes.
Truly great drivers will go to a team, and even if it has an underperforming car, will inspire its' development to the point where it is capable of winning a championship, like Schumacher did at Ferrari, and how Senna pushed the development of the McLaren team when it was uncompetitive So Hamilton should go to Red Bull.
Although maybe the McLaren team find Hamilton's constructive feedback from the cockpit inspiring. What do I know?
Hopefully he doesnt leave out of frustration and takes time to think, Mclaren could win 4-5 championships in the next 10 years
I'm sure his fans will forgive him if he leaves McLaren due to frustration. They forgive him driving like a doofus due to frustration. Maybe they will praise him for it. "At least Hamilton tries to get the best car" etc.
Where to though? I am convinced Red Bull will not want him, he obviously will not go to Ferrari, the only other option is if he takes a punt with Mercedes but really that would be madness.
Why would Red BUll not want him. They are making small signs that they could have him but obviously keeping thier current driver webber happy by denying it
They are building the team around Vettel and they are currently winning everything with the setup they have got now, why would they want to change that? I expect them to keep Webber for next year and then replace him with Buemi or Ricciardo to play back up to Vettel. If they hire Hamilton they can't do any better than they are doing now and it would be a big risk because it could easily create another 2007 situation. So in my view it would be a no win situation for Red Bull.
As the saying goes why fix something if its not broken, so as long as vettel wins more WDC's theres no need to change anything.
From what the Red bull team were saying over the weekend. The WCC is more financially important to them and possibly Mark is not getting the results the team need to secure it like they should
This... Why would Red Bull spend Millions on their youth development scheme, but in the end giving the seat to a McLaren driver. They are then pritty much admitting their program isn't at all good and in the end younger drivers would think twice going to Red Bull knowing they would get screwed over no matter how well they did. If Lewis did come to Red Bull he would have burnt his bridges with McLaren forever... But he's joint 2nd in the championship isn't he. How do we know that the reason Vettel looks so strong is not because of the RB7, but that he understands the Pirelli's far better than anybody on the grid, why hire Lewis who is struggling with them? It's been what? 3 races now he's destroyed them before the end of stints. Be wiser to hire somebody like Perez, Alguersuari, Rosberg, Button or Kamui for the second seat who are that bit kinder with tyres on race day.
He can go anyway. As we saw with Fernando, He made his day with Renault, and then when he was in trouble with Mclaren, they welcomed him back like he had never left. If it doesnt work out McLaren can and always will take him back.
But the difference with Alonso leaving Renault wasn't because they were getting worse, but his contract expired. Fernando also won them 2xWDC and 2xWCC, not really leaving them to rot like Lewis is "considerd" doing after 1xWDC 3 years ago.
And the reason why Lewis hasn't won more WDC and a WCC is because the car is simply not good enough. We all know Lewis is easily one of the fastest out there on his day, but you cannot do anything with a car that is simply ****.
