89CAL Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 and go where? it's not like Mercedes are likely to provide him with a more capable ride than McLaren can, based on recent evidence unless of course someone has insider info that the 2014 Merc V6T is going to blow the others into the weeds, and they intend not to share it...? lol I know what your saying But his lack of excitement after winning at Monza and Button coming out and saying he's not gonna back Hamilton up in the championship. Also the fact that its taken this long and he still hasn't re-signed suggests that he is looking elsewhere I agree that the McLaren is one of the top cars at the moment but its anyone's guess who will be number one next year Where can he go? Wherever pays and provides a decent car.

Roy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 In my books you can barely even say he is a World Champion. His best year in F1 was his first year. He fluked into his WDC having thrown away having the best car most of the year and a hack as a team mate who could not get near him. He needs out of McLaren as whilst they have Button alongside him he isnt going to win a WDC with them as Button will take too many points off him Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384282-formula-one-2012/page/219/#findComment-6529979 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ctjet Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Please let it be Kimi I'd sell both drivers in a heartbeat for him to comeback look how good he looks in the overalls im sure even his dad wants him to come back Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384282-formula-one-2012/page/219/#findComment-6530395 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roy Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Story goes Kimi has too many other commitments outside of driving at McLaren, hence why he didnt go back and Button ended up being signed. Cabt see Kimi leaving Lotus based on their current competitiveness Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384282-formula-one-2012/page/219/#findComment-6530403 Share on other sites More sharing options...
89CAL Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 im sure even his dad wants him to come back lol Part of me wants to see him back at Mclaren. But I really like the Lotus and he seems happier there. The few rumours about him going back to Ferrari, I dont really like. I can't believe they ditched Kimi for Alonso instead of ditching Massa. I think there was a bit more going on in the background, Kimi never seemed interested in the 2009 championship, but still if it was me I wouldnt want to go back there Is Ferrari a possibility for Lewis? While I dont see it happening for a number of reasons, of all the teams that sound like they will be getting a vacant seat, Ferrari seems the best. Unless of course Vettel goes to Ferrari and Hamilton goes to Red Bull, Dont really want that to happen though Also cant see Ferrari having two number 1 drivers. Which most of the options listed above would be Alonso and another driver with near enough skill to take the title away from him. Anyway, Hoping Singapore will pan out how Lotus expect and suit their car a bit more.

He only got the payout if he didnt drive for another team. If he had signed for Mclaren than a percentage of his payout was defaulted back to Ferrari so his pay demands of McLaren accounted for what he would have lost back to Ferrari Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/384282-formula-one-2012/page/219/#findComment-6531981 Share on other sites More sharing options...
