There's more on the story here : http://www.guardian.co.uk/sport/2011/ap ... f1-mclaren

He'll learn that moving teams does not automatically guarantee world championships; just look at Alonso and his move to McLaren from the team that he won his two titles with'; Renault and later his move to Ferrari, neither move had/has yielded another world championship as yet.

Lol, i think Lewis is smart enough to know moving to another team does not mean titles, in fact i would bet all F1 drivers know that.

Theyre changing his engineer like a babys nappy.

What's this? I hadn't heard Lewis's engineer had changed even once, let alone several times, since the start of 2010? Is this something that's happened this year? I know Button had like 4 over the course of last year owing to Jakob taking ill, but heard nothing of Lewis having to change his at all.

Last time i checked hes had three engineers in his career, lemme see.....

Really? I thought he was still on his second. He had...Phil Prew, was it? From 2007-2009...And then in 2010 they rejiggered the Engineering staff when Jenson joined and he got his second. So if he's on his third, then I'd assume he got a new one for this year?

It's Andy Latham this year and I'm pretty sure it was him last season, too.

Well i cant actually find anywhere thatll tell me?

Either way its not HIS team, they might bleat he's the golden boy, but ive seen nothing but love for Jenson and no team orders.

As such him leaving isnt as far fetched as youd think, and with simon fueller on his shoulder theyll be mkaing moves for ferrari as soon as they can. trust me.

ive had a thought about it and i think the media have played lets get lewis to give us a comment and we'll twist it 180 degrees lewis wont leave mclaren.

It would be amazing though if he did? we need a mix up mate!

Massa to McLaren,
Koby to Ferrari
Hamilton to RBR
& Webber to Sauber

All in all Koby will go to Ferrari! I want a nice mix up on the grid....

[killem2]

Lewis would not go to ferrari as long as alonzo is there. If I were him I wouldn't. RBR yes, Renault even yes, but not Ferrari.

Alonsos been in F1 10 years, 7 years on Hamilton, One is going to finish before the other.

[Jamie]

Allot of people are saying Koby is a sure for going Ferrari, it's a no brainer? I think Lewis would suit Renault.

[LewEngBridewell]

I myself, as a fan of TEAM McLaren, hope Lewis doesn't leave, because he's an incredible talent. The though of seeing him at Ferrari is too strange to ever come true, but who knows

Anyway, McLaren have a fine car at the moment!!! They're the only team that can possibly challenge RBR at the moment, so now is not the time to start throwing the toys out of the pram.

[billindenver]

Ahhhh, memories. It seems like only weeks ago that the Hamilton fan club were swearing up and down that he will never leave McLaren.

Oh, hold up...it was only weeks ago....

It would be hysterical if he went red.....the carnage it would cause amongst the anti-red crowd would be the stuff of legends...keyboards smashed, I heart Hamilton posters ripped from the walls.....carnage I tell ya.

I don't know about that. Seems to me that Ferrari prefers to pick off existing champs, and there are plenty of big contracts expiring in the next few years.

I love the way you disregard every persons opinion if it goes against the Lewis Hamilton is God mentality with a or emoticons. Hamilton needs to get his head down and work to resolve the issues with his team instead of complaining and making statements to the press like the statement this thread concerns. McLaren had a potentially championship winning car in 2010 but Lewis threw away his championship lead with silly rookie mistakes and assumptions that other drivers would give way to him when he pulls alongside. He needs to look at his own performances before he starts blaming the team for his own mistakes. Initially I liked Lewis Hamilton but over the years I have grown to be very apathetic to him because of his "it's the teams fault" mentality.

I'm sure this will be an unpopular statement; but there is it; my opinion ladies and gentleman!

So Lewis has to be "Perfect" to win WDC? While Seb crashes left and right and has a ton of failures and still came on top and won WDC.
The MP4-24/25 were not WDC contenders by a long shot.It was Lewis' aggressivnes that took him far and if he had an on par car he wouldn't need to be. Jenson drove mistake free and see where that got him.
