Yeh, you're right, 2 minor accidents is way worse than all the rest of the field put together. I mean... DiResta didn't have 3 minor prangs, and Sutil didn't cause a red flag. Stop using hyperbole and trolling and discuss the point of the topic.

I'm starting to worry about Hamilton.

He crashes with his partner. His partner overcame six stops and a crash, laps the Red Bull like 1 second faster and end winning.

... and he wants to change the car.

Great move, Lewise.

If I were working at Red Bull I couldn't avoid to think that we have him under our collective psychological thumb.

The way he is, I don't believe there's an F1 team on the grid that would not look at Hamilton if they had the opportunity.

I understand. Don't worry, look at me; now I'm perfectly normal. I even stopped using the balaclava at work.

I once suffered the same problem (two words: James Hunt) but I was cured.

Pray and fast, the Lord will help you.

BTW, I agree with you. Everyone and his dog is looking at Hamilton now... in amazement.

Can Red Bull afford the repairs after each race?

Someone had to go there. :wink:

To be honest, with Red Bull being so focused on Vettel I doubt they'd be willing to take Hamilton. It's like Ferrari with Schumacher, that's how Red Bull is being built around Vettel.

Hamilton i still the only person that can challenge "Crack kid" Sad isn't it?

i think He's going to RedBull because there were also pictures of him talking to Horner and Newey after some of the previous races. You just don't have driver's talking to TP's and Technical Directors so often. What could Adrian Newey and Hamilton be talking about?

Hamilton has just put himself is a terrible terrible position.

I would imagine that if RBR decided against signing him for 2013, then Lewis will be left with nowhere to go but to eat the humble pie and extent his contract with Mclaren. I honestly doubt any midfield team can afford Lewis and Simon Fuller, or if Lewis will be able to contribute greatly in building the team.

What other F1 rookies drivers should learn from Lewis's "mistake" is not to kill your career opportunities by announcing your commitment to ONLY 1 team, especially not when are at your early stage of your career.

I that aspect Vettel is so much wiser in handling the business side of things. Right after winning WDC, he extended his contract with RBR to capitalize on RBR winning momentum and Newey brilliance but continue to stay open for driving with other teams.

Yeh – a terrible position.

Before he had one chance of getting a drive – McLaren; now he has two.

Really terrible.

He can´t put himself in a bad position. With that talent you can do whatever you want basically unless you start crashing out in every single race not picking up any points.

He´s designed to win, therefore he needs the fastest car on the grid, it´s understandable.
There is no such thing as loyalty in F1 even if they nursed you since you first got into a go-cart.
The truth will come out...

I think the true part of it is that he is leaving McLaren. He seems to be feeling more and more out of place there and you can easily see that in his on track performance. Compare him to 2007, 2008 or 2009. He placed in overtake after overtake, did he ever collide with anyone? He barely did. He seems to be missing the fire out of all this bullshit. McLaren isnt happy with Hamilton's actions and otherwise Hamilton isnt happy with what McLaren promises. Withmarsh's posture said enough in the Preview of the grand prix of Canada when he was asked by the BBC guys what he thought about Hamiltons recent actions.

Would be good for Hamilton to go on a new adventure.

how is he not is a bad position when all other 3 top teams already have a WDC in their drivers line up.

Ferrari - Alonso
RBR - Vettel
Merc - MS

One must have thought that these top teams would be more than happy to get rid of their existing "no.1" driver and make room for Lewis. Just like how Ferrari got rid of Kimi for Alonso.
