    There's a mid season test at the Mugello circuit, I'd be amazed if he's there for that.

    Perez to replace him, I'd imagine.
    Tbf He's not been the same driver since his accident

    No he hasn't. I'm not sure it's just that though.

    He hasn't won a race since 2008, when Hamilton took the title off him at the last corner. Not sure he's ever recovered from that either.

    Either way, a team like Ferrari can't afford to carry a passenger like that.

    I hope he signs a 10 year contract

    That's where Hamilton is losing it a little bit I reckon. He's toning it down too much. Fuck the pelanties. He knows where to find grip and line on a track better than anyone, and car permitting, needs to start doing it again.
    I don't think that's Lewis's problem. I think he just can't get to grips with the tyres.

    He's, in my opinion, the fastest driver on the grid over a single lap, as last week's qualifying will support. But over a race distance, he can't manage the tyres as well as some others.

    I think he'll be on pole tomorrow, for what it's worth.

    Tyre management is going to be key on Sunday if the heat stays as it is. Might be worth the drivers using up most of their Option tyres in qualifying tbf.

    If the McLaren is as strong here as it was in Oz, even with Lewis on pole I'd have Jenson favourite for the race.

    McLaren 1-2 plzthx.

    Is that him, or the pit though? He's a stubborn git, but he's not stupid. Many of the problems last season where to do with pit strategy, with Redbull being one step ahead all of the time....time he pulled a few punches imo.

    I agree, he's the fastest man out there. Vettel is fuckin good (the ****), but Lewis has something else for me. It's a feel thing he has. Vettel is boring, like Schumacher. It'a all about german efficiency. Hamilton can actually bend a car round corners.
    It's better to burn out, than to fade away.

    Raikkonen is up there with Hamilton and Button in Q1. Impressive.
