I still think there is more to how they split I suppose. If it was planned then you get the feeling that Ant just piggy backed of his sons success to make the big time.

Also why does Lewis really need a manager, it is not as if Mclaren are going to release him at any time!!

None of this makes any sense to me, I apologize lol :rofl: .

What is all this?


Lewis was managed by his dad as he has been all his life, however this time last year he sacked him/they split.

A lot of people have said that he sort of went of the rails because not long after the hooning thing happened in Oz.

Now Lewis has signed for a management company called XIX.

To negotiate endorsement deals.

Like Jenson's cringe-inducing Head & Shoulder's ad.

Exactly. I can't ever imagine Lewis anywhere, I can only ever see him @ McLaren for ever, seriously.

To me he seems like he is going to stay with them until he has to pay to drive for them lol. I thought I heard something somewhere, maybe top gear I can't remember about him talking to Ron Dennis when he was like 8 or 9 or something.

I use head and shoulders and drink milk because Jenson does.

Mangers are also useful for contract negotiations etc if he wins a WDC again he'll need a rise ;)

He probably split with his dad because he got sick of people on forums taking the piss. I think its a shame, his dad did well by him. I could never understand the antagonism towards his dad from other people. No one will ever look out for him as well as his dad did. But I can see the other side, he needed to become his own person. Difficult decision though.

Managing companies will take on anyone they think is able to make them millions from their 10% cut.
