Dennis says it as it is…
July 26, 2012 in Uncategorized
I got a bit of flack for my previous post about why McLaren doesn’t have to jump to King Lewis’ every move. (Well, only one blogger left a comment and he didn’t like my attitude towards Hamilton).
Read it here: http://blogs.sport24.co.za/gertbloues/2012/07/10/why-does-hamilton-hold-the-ace/
Now, finally, Ron Dennis said it the way it should be said in this article: http://planet-f1.com/driver/18227/7935450/Dennis-pretty-sure-Hamilton-will-stay
He said, and I quote:”I think people get a little wrong impression. When I last looked at the contract I was paying him so it’s a question of whether we employ him and not the other way around.”
That’s the way it should be in F1. There’s a lot of talent in F1 at the moment. I admit that all that talent is not available for a drive at McLaren next year, but in Button they have a world champion on their books already. So, even if Lewis doesn’t drive for them next year, if the car can challenge for the title, they’ll have a shot at the driver’s title. McLaren have been around for years now. In fact the only other team that has been in F1 for longer is Ferrari, who have been there since the very beginning.
McLaren have been there long before Lewis was born and they’ll still be there long after he retires. I also cant see any seats available at any other team capable of challenging for the title, so unless Hamilton wants to be out of the picture, he has no choice but to take whatever McLaren can afford to pay him and get on with it. (Or, God forbit, join Ferrari if don’t extend Massa’s contract and not promote Perez.)
Anyhow, Alonso will be stayig at Ferrari for quite some time and I’m sure he’ll be reeling in the titles one after the other for the next few seasons. That is until the FIA again change the rules in order to stop Ferrari’s domination like they did in 2005.
Cheers!!!

LEWIS HAMILTON IS THE BEST DRIVER IN F1 BY FAR, HE IS DRIVEN, HE WANTS TO WIN, ACCIDENTS DO HAPPEN, HE ISNT DANGEROUS, IF THE OTHER DRIVERS ARE SO WORRIED THEY SHOULDNT STEP INSIDE AN F1 CAR, ITS DANGEROUS DRIVING AN F1 CAR FULL STOP. IF ALL THOSE WHO HAVE GOT ON THE BAND WAGON ABOUT LEWIS ARE SO WORRIED WHY HAVNT THEY BANNED THE MONNACO GRAND PRIX? HOW MANY SERIOUSE CRASHES TWO WEEKS AGO ? ITS IMPOSIBLE OVERTAKE, LEWIS ATLEAST TRIES, YET AGAIN HE IS PICKED ON, AS FOR VETTEL AND ALONSO THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN PENALISED FOR CHANGING TYRES, THAT RACE WAS BUTTONS FOR THE TAKING.TAKE LEWIS HAMILTON AWAY FROM F1 AND IT WILL BE THE MOST BORING MERRY GO ROUND EVER, NO ONE WANTS TO SEE VETTEL START ON POLE AND WIN EVERY RACE WITHOUT A FIGHT, AND BERNIE ECCLESTONE AND MAX MOSELY BETTER DO SOMETHING QUICK, BEFORE F1 TURNS TOO BORING, IF THIS TITLE IS SEWN UP TOO EARLY FOR PICKING ON LEWIS HAMILTON FOR TRYING TO RACE, THEN I CAN SEE EVEN MORE GOING OVER TO SUPER BIKES, WELL ITS A WHOLE LOT MORE EXCITING, AND LESS STUPID RULES. -8Was this answer heulpfl?

Well, your timing wasn’t that good for this post. Seeing that Lewis again proofed how immature he is with his Twitter rants this weekend.
The boy still needs to grow up if he wants to be World Champion again. There are too many talented drivers in fast cars around for him to be able to be WC at the moment.
