Do you think Hamilton will go to Ferrari?

Question

rediff.com say that all 3 of them (lewis, alonso and Ron) are making there exit. I don't yet know these websites i.e like the Telegraph compered to the Sun so i don't know whats true, i'd rather hear what your point/views/opinions/comments are, thank you

Ferrari have put in a bid for £17million for him

to find out why its tigerjane you'll have to get to know me better lol

Don't get me wrong I think Lewis will stay faithfull to McLaren. It was only that i looked up bruno Senna that this page came up about it and I thought i would see what your opinions were. If i knew how to do a link from the page i'd do it.

Thank you for all your answers i finally have someone to talk about it too, not many of my friends are interested in it so i appreciate your comments on all my questions.

Answer 1

For a start Ron is going nowhere, McLaren is his baby.

Lewis has attracted interest from Ferrari (Kimi is good but lacks motivation and Massa has no X factor), but I would keep an eye out for BMW, they could capitalise on their German rivals woes by snapping him up from under their noses. No that would be a coup!

I don't think Alonso will leave McLaren, although he is acting like a bloody idiot. It will only serve to emphasise his incredibly fragile ego and poor judgement. It will be status quo for 2008, ive been watching this sport long enough to know that we are in the midst of silly season, anything discussed during August is pure hyperbole. . . but its fun!

Answer 2

Naturally the rumours surrounding Alonso are perhaps the closest to true. I would not at all be surprised if Alonso left McLaren at the end of the season. What would be way more fun is if he left NOW. That would shuffle things up. But where could he go that would give him a proper run at it? Ferrari is the only answer of course, and I don't see that happening, not unless it were a flat driver-for-driver swap Alonso for Massa. Ain't silly season fun?

As for Ron Dennis, there has been news for a while now that he is thinking ahead to retirement. He turned 60 this year (!) and surely retiring from a full-time role in the team is on his mind. In the last couple of years he has divested some of his ownership in the team so that it can carry on without him. I don't know that he'll go this year, but it is a safe bet that he'll head off to a less active role in the team in the not so distant future.

Hamilton leaving. I think he's the least likely of the three to go. At least while Ron Dennis has a say. Why? Well, Dennis has invested how much in him since that day when Hamilton came along and introduced himself and said he wants to drive for McLaren? I don't see any of that as something Dennis or the team want to throw away any time soon.

At this point, while rumours abound on many sites, I do put stock in Autosport.com. They have run both the rumour that Alonso was told he can go, and they have run his manager's denial of that. It is a subscriber site, but a good deal of content--news and grapevine (rumours) within the last 30 days, as well as low-res pics--is available for non-subscribers.

Cheers!

Answer 3

Hamilton could be greater advantageous off staying with McLaren. And McLaren could be greater advantageous off protecting him. the two facets understand that so he will probable stay positioned. the sole different warm seat is that of BMW. all of us needs to tension for Ferrari yet i do no longer think of they'll loaf around on the suitable for too long. McLaren decrease back on the suitable by their very own administration, Ferrari had to herald Schumi to do the interest, now he's long gone they do no longer look to be getting any greater advantageous to place it that way. If and whilst Alonso gets there I guess he won't be interior the quickest automobile, nor interior the terrific team. i assume Montetzemolo has seen it coming and is probable prepared to get Alonso, he's the only guy who can pull the gang jointly. i'm particular there is been rigidity between Hamilton and Dennis faster or later or yet another yet they'll probable artwork a manner around it. till they have come too close for their very own good wherein case could they get chilly they'll could section. i will keep in mind Dennis's look of a betrayed guy with a number of Hamilton's antics final 3 hundred and sixty 5 days, somewhat after Monaco and Hungary. i think of the consequence of this years' championship would be severe. If Lewis wins it i do no longer think of there is the slightest risk he's gonna pass, no count how plenty funds Ferrari throw at him.

Answer 4

Nope. So far the only really reliable source for f1 information is the official formula 1 website. The others may come out with news a lot earlier but most of the time it is innacurate and spun in a way to attract attention. I think it diverts our attention from the actual racing itself.

RD has known Lewis since he was an 11 year old driving go carts, he invested a lot of time and money in this kid over the years and I don't think a little argument is going to get in the way of their relationship or their goals of winning championships (notice i pluralized that)...

Keep in mind lewis is a rookie, it is his first season, he has only driven in 11 races, it is natural for f1 teams, drivers and managers to have disagreements every once in a while, this is just a bump in the road for the mclaren team.

Answer 5

He won't. Because he stated that he has always wanted to drive for Mclaren Mercedes for years and he said that he wants to remain there for his entire F1 career. In terms of money, his father will probably urge him to take the deal; a while back there was a story saying that his father told Ron that he wants his son to get a large raise for all the success that he has done, but Ron turned him down! Alonso on the other hand has a few choices if he decides to leave: He can either go to Renault (step down; but he was happy there), Ferrari (Jean Todt stated that he wanted to sign Alonso, but he already signed the contract for Mclaren), and BMW (although Nick Heidfeld hasn't signed on for next year, Mario Theissen has denied stories claiming he would sign Alonso) It's anybody's guess from here on out!

Answer 6

Lewis Hamilton has a 5 year contract with McLaren and Ron Dennis said that neither of the drivers are leaving.

Answer 7

I think Lewis will stay with McLaren and I hope Ferrari decides to drop Massa and put Liuzzi behind the wheel because he good, young, and he has heart. Plus I would love to finally see an Italian driving the Italian Stallion.

Answer 8

God I hope so. Hamilton is good, but has let his (relative) success to influence his attitude and behaviour. He isn't a world champion, Alonso is, and like it or not, Alonso is just as talented and vastly more experienced. Hamilton could learn a lot if he would just learn to play as part of a team. This is exactly the type of behaviour Schaumaccer used to exhibit and we in the UK lambasted him as 'an arrogant German'. Well here we are with a Brit behaving in exactly the same way.

Hamilton needs to learn that sometime you have to take one for them team, he isn't bigger than McLaren; as in any team, no one person is bigger than the team.

Ferrari seem to thrive on toss pot ignorant and arrogant drivers so perhaps Lewis would do well there.

Answer 9

I think Hamilton will say with McLaren, Alonso may go to Ferrari...in any event I can't see Hamilton and Alonso being in the same team next year.

Answer 10

Alonso will go as he has no more "fire in his belly" to win championships and Lewis will definitely stay, he has been groomed for this over the last 12 years and Ron Dennis will make sure he stays ! Its great to have such raw talent from a U.K born driver.
