There is no McLaren fan more disappointed in last season than me. It sucks when your team is trawling around in 10th place. I personally don't rate Whitmarsh very highly although I like Jenson. I know he is not the fastest on the grid and he is getting older, but if you were in his place what would you say?
I reckon he is on his last season with a top team, the 'hilarious' quote has been taken out of context I think. To be honest, no-one knows what next season will bring, unfortunately for me as a McLaren fan I am not expecting much from Jenson but hope springs eternal for Kevin
Although Ron Dennis frustrated me with his 'Ron Speak' I admire him as a man and a team boss, I would love to see him back in charge of McLaren. I will be honest here and say that for the betterment of McLaren Jenson should go at the end of 2014. Who should replace him depends on how Maggnusson deals with his Rookie season, I would love the Hulk and Kimmi but I can only dream.
I like Lewis Hamilton the Racing Driver, he is up there among the greats in terms of car handling, what I feel let's him down is his emotions off track. I know some of the posters love him for that but really I don't want tweets of my driver and his dogs in first class. What I am saying is that no-one here really knows what goes on in the backroom, who is back-stabbing etc etc. I tend to look above the gossip and try to focus on the driving on the race weekends. I love the technical threads here but admittedly they sometimes get complicated so I ask my tech savvy husband to explain it in layman's terms.
I know my posting history here is generally me defending Jenson,but I do have some things to contribute and I would like not be be at odds with Lewis fans so in anticipation of the new season and the New Year I hope I can have a place to talk about F1 without being bullied or ridiculed and we can all share the Forum as it was meant to be.
Happy New Year and Happy New Season to you all
