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. Who knows

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

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.

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.

wasn't the main reason because Ferrari had just paid out 50 Mil to cancel his contract early, and his management was still demanding enormous money from McLaren anyway for him to come over??

Nick Heidfeld is keen to return to Formula One racing but not if he is just making up the numbers.

no... just take him and move him away

preferably with webber and massa in the corner

McLaren team principal Martin Whitmarsh has admitted they have 'no Plan B' should he decide to quit the team, but the Daily Mail claims Caterham's Kovalainen along with Sauber's Sergio Perez and Paul di Resta from Force India are on the "possible replacement list".

it's the daily mail so meh.

As far as I can remember he was always making up the numbers so it rules him out of a return.

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

    • πŸ˜‚Β thanks guys. The diagram i had did not have the breather on it at all. Much appreciated. Β 
    • Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.
    • Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
