Have fun Lewis...
Then Lewis is talking out of two sides of his mouth because he was directly asked in the interview room today in Suzuka if he felt he had any less chance of winning in next years Merc compaired to next years Macca, and he said emphatically, "no--I have equal chance". You can tell just looking at his dimeanor that he does not believe his own words. Then just min later he states to Perez that he knows how good next years Macca will be and you can tell he's completely serious. Then later all this talk about an uphill battle. None of it makes sense.Ganxxta wrote:Hamilton seems to know that he will be not competitive next year, makes me wonder even more why he joined:Lewis Hamilton wrote: "Zurzeit sitze ich in einem hervorragenden Auto.

Wouldn't you be willing to switch to a different team to fix all those problems, even if it meant you were temporarily in a slower car?
Even better, when you do manage to fix the car, you'll be credited with doing something that Michael Schumacher could not?
It comes down to happiness, guys.
Hamilton obviously believes he'll be happier over at Mercedes than he currently is at McLaren. The slower car isn't ideal, but it is an exciting challenge.
I said the same some time before. They are trying to outsmart the rest and find some exploit of the rules instead of building a decent car. Three years in a row - DDRS being the last attempt (failed IMO).marcush. wrote: ...............

I wonder who got him into that management team in the first place? What was he thinking, really? That's not the kind of management you want for an F1 driver. If it were the push of his management team not his own will to drive for Mercedes, it won't end well.

Lewis is a young boy -not a man - he´s simply be pushed w´here his dfriends are directing him.I almost believe he satrts to think about the implications of this decision only now.
The people who actually found the loophole back in 2007/2008 and figured out the outwash frontwing endplates are long gone or driven away to other teams . You can feel they are desperately looking for the new unfair advantage.

Lotus with their forward exhaust concept?
McLaren with their U pods? lower nose?
It is the teams duty to come up with ideas to give an advantage. If you dont have this creativity, you may as well just wave the white flag. This team are very much trying to at least get better.

It was a rhetorical question, but I should have made that more obvious.FoxHound wrote:I can.bhallg2k wrote:Can you prove this?FoxHound wrote:[...]

New simulator. Updated windtunnel. New staff. Bigger budget. New driver in Hamilton. Signed up for 7 more years...
Actions of people trying to make up the numbers? I think not.
