In fact, given that McLaren have won the last 2 races, on merit, I would suggest that at present, McLaren have the fastest car.

Under performing: I think not.

The simple truth is that Alonso and Vettel are better drivers. You can't blame McLaren for that.

Two races a season doesn't make. Mclaren for YEARS have been uncompetitive for enough of the season that it has made a title all but impossible. There isn't any good being in the running for the second half of the season if they end up miles behind in the first half as has been the case for a few seasons essentially.

This year they've had a more competitive car much much earlier in the season, and threw up a crapload of points through bad pit stops, other problems and the black cloud over F1 that is Maldonado. Then they dropped the ball on development for large portion of the season and went from fastest at the start to 3rd and even 4th fastest at times for several races, which ultimately left both drives lagging WAY behind Ferrari a car that didn't at any stage have flat out pace but finished races, made the least errors and got the tactics right the most often.


Lewis to Merc though, can't see it, for money maybe. Remember if neither team is a viable option for winning the title and you can't get a seat at RB or Ferrari.... then 20mil to not win the title at Mclaren isn't a better option than 30million to also not win the title at Merc ;)

However it all comes across purely as, his management took a meeting with them and Eddie put 2 + 2 together to get 94. He also mentions his team met with Ferrari, and probably spoke with Red Bull as well, some will be semi serious, some teams not burning bridges, take the meeting with Lewis's people to be polite because he might be the only or best option some other year. Also negotiating, more meetings they take with other teams, the better. He could leverage a fantastic offer from Merc into a better deal at Ferrari, which could push Red Bull into upping their offer, etc, etc.
 
theres no way merc would pay hamilton 30mil

rosberg and schumacher only get 8

anyway as i said before eddie speaks so much BS i dont know why people take him seriously.

occasionally hes right but hundreds of times in between he isnt.

schumacher was retiring in 2010 , kimi was going to join williams etc.

I remember when Eddie also got the incident involving Massa spot on.
He seemed to know that an object had hit Massa, through the helmet before most people.
Eddie knows what he is talking about.

LOL what? he stood there and said his sources say Massa is fine, a little bump on the head but nothing to worry about and Massa was fine, DC and Jake looked shocked as he had not moved from the spot to speak to any source.

Well kimi was on the verge of a contract with williams.

It's also been confirmed that hamilton was in talks with ferrari, so he's clearly looking around at the options.
 
I doubt you can get a much stricter team than McLaren. And the likes of Red Bull and Ferrari really don't want to be babysitting him. Maybe it's up to Lewis to change rather than the team?

I think he needs a move, but not to Mercedes. He needs someone to be more strict with him and manage him better than what mclaren are doing.

He's (allegedly) a grown man utajoker. If the poor little darling needs that level of management, then I don't think there's a team on the grid who can give him what he wants.

It's such a shame that in his sixth (!) season we're still talking about Hamilton needing a firm hand from team management. Several times now I've thought 'at last, he's growing up, now we'll see what he's really capable of' only for him to do something stupid, go off the boil for several months, and squander all the goodwill he'd built up.

Ah well. He's The Messiah™, and a very naughty boy as well ;)
 
Sky sports are now reporting Mercedes offering £60m for a three year deal - Linky - Probably a load of rubbish.

In all honesty, I quite like the idea of Hamilton leaving, new challenges and that. Working with Ross Brawn could be good for him as well.

Who knows...
