AKR! where have you been hiding? So what do you think of Lewis' move? I have to buy new F1 clothes for next year. I've been looking but the new season ones aren't out yet. Sad about Mclaren, but I'm going with Lewis.

Bud is a staunch Mclaren fan. His sig is a reference to some of the fallout on the forum since Lewis announced his move.

I see re bud.it seems you want to ditch mclaren by your words. May I make a suggestion. Why don't you go for Lewis and mclaren? That is support the Mercedes that Lewis will drive only and then the 2 mclaren cars regardless who drives them. After all a mclaren is still a mclaren absent lewis. . This is what I would do and is purely just my opinion which is neither right or wrong.

As for Lewis going to Mercedes, dumb move as mclaren are cleanly better a the moment. Maybe for Lewis mclaren absent Ron Dennis isn't what it used to be for him and he wants the change. Let's see if Lewis can bring mercedes back to winning ways like Schumi did for Ferrari all does many years ago. It will take time.

Oh and where have I been hiding. Just busy. But been watching all th races and keeping up to date like always.

Well it's good to hear from you again. I'm afraid I can't take your advice. I have to follow my heart and my heart is with Lewis. Just as you would have to follow Ferrari whoever drove for them, i will follow Lewis wherever he goes. It will be strange not supporting McLaren next year because I have done so through Montoya and now Lewis, so a long time. But it's now Mercedes and I will be wanting them to beat Mclaren next year. I've not been entirely happy with Mclaren this year for a number of reasons and I don't like one of next years drivers. So it's a big change. But not the first time. I followed Damon from Williams to Arrows (that was HARD) then Jordan. And then Montoya to Mclaren. The hard thing for me is when my driver leaves F1.......then I'm lost for a while.
I know next year will be tough, but I'm excited to see what will happen. It's not just about winning for me it's about reaching and exceeding potential.
And you? Do you think Alonso will do it????

Welcome back AKR! Good to see you around again!

[CookinFlat6]

You lot get your panties in a twist over every little thing it's rather amusing reading your crap.

How is it any different to a football player switching teams and both parties wanting to beat each other? Sometimes I think you lot forget this is a sport, a competition, there are no guarantees.

Your auto signature says Lewis fan. I thought you were a mclaren fan? Personally I would stick to mclaren as they as a team are a big and successful team second only to one other. Lewis is just a driver who won't b in the sport forever. Mclaren on the other hand could well be.

Thats the problem many Mclaren (racing) supporters can no longer put up with, its now ok to come second, its ok to have MW as TP, its acceptable to have JB as lead driver, its ok to let a massive asset go. When this current McLaren regime ends I am sure top sponsors and true fans will return, maybe even Lewis

Ron is more focussed on the seemingly bigger picture of Road car manufacturer. This has superceded the importance of triumphing at F1.

From the horses mouth - Whitmarsh, Rons long groomed yet lame successor - 'we have to be cautious and conservative in our pursuit of the ragged edge wrt rules interpretation and technological advancement as that suits our sponsors' Yup our business needs have finally usurped our racing desires

Open minded McLaren supporters can see that the return of Ron etc is n ot going to change anything, here is a team that just want to go through the motions without offending the FIA or be seen to be aggressively demonstrating the will to win.

Ron was always a full on, visionary tyrannical F1 boss, this hadn't brought the successes his effort deserved, nevertheless it looked like he had finally struck gold and would triumph when he broke the mould and introduced Lewis.

Alas, it looks as though MW and Button will make sure that the team ends up not where Ron wanted but where they belong performance wise

That's ok Cooking man, they'll still be ahead of Lewis.

And back to McLaren

All quiet on the western Front at the moment.

Will Alonso do it? It depends. If someone can do a Kimi to Vettel (ie what happened to Alonso in Korea) and then Alonso wins or comes second in the next race maybe there is a chance. But of Vettel wins it and Alonso comes second, it will almost be as good as over.

Btw I do not mean to be disrespectful, but i half respect your decesion re McLaren and Lewis. I know you are a Lewis fan, but you are also a McLaren fan. The fact you first like Lewis and even Montoya before that was because they were at McLaren. I haven't always liked the drivers of Ferrari, but yet I have never turned my back on Ferrari. You shouldn't also ever turn your back on McLaren, your F1 team.

AKR welcome back

and it is good to hear you still support McLaren absent Lewis. If you didn't I would of been on the first flight to Australia to kick you up the bottom.
