Lewis Hamilton discussion thread

Martin Whitmarsh in October 2012: "The offer that we made [to Lewis Hamilton] was higher I believe than any other driver in F1 is currently receiving or will receive next year."

 

But, perhaps, still not enough.....

 

But not according to Bas Jaski who claims, "Lewis was offered a fraction of what he normally got."

 

Well, we know why he claimed that, don't we?
He pretends that Hamilton was a cheap option.
Not a very reliable source ...

False again.

100m deal for 3 years he got from Mercedes upon signing in 2012. At the time he was on a contract with Mclaren that was worth 15m GBP. Unless Whitmarsh is very poor at math, I would think that nearly double his current offer is in fact, more.

 

This is a useless topic, but I'm bored

(reread the last sentence of the above post)

 

Edit: I meant “does not a career make.”

 

Correct.
A Mercedes hybrid makes a career.
Hamilton should cruise to at least another 2 x WDC's.

F1 is currently a 3 tier "sport" .

1. Bottas and Hamilton

2. Max

3. Everyone else

 

+1 that says it all.

 

you seem permanently bored
