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

    • Hey all, not sure how active SAU is anymore but will ask away anyways. Just wanted to get some experience on the 2008 model GTR CBA model.  I've hit that age in my life (43) where I'm like fk it time to get my dream (midlife crisis) car. Looking at importing one in and seeing if these can be reliable if the main flaws are fixed up. Plan is to keep money aside to do the following straight off the bat to future proof it: * install a stage 1 rebuilt trans with all new bits and pieces.  * install a new Bellhousing from the later model GTRs. Or potentially an upgraded stronger version like MAD or ATR. Besides the above two things and typical maintenance items anything else you'd recommend doing.   Been speaking to a few people and the engine on these are very reliable apparently. But keen on the view of the community here. Hoping to find a nice grade 4.5 with low mileage in Grey. I'd go black but swirls too easy. Look forward to your responses and feedback. Cheers    
    • Do Alan and Keith work on Skylines now? I remember buying stuff from them when I owned my Ralliart Lancer a few moons ago. Definitely genuine guys and be excellent if they dealt with the skyline platform as well.
    • Hey all, I'm Gaston from Sydney's West.  I was a member on here when I was a younger lad and owned a mint R33 GTS-T. Ended up selling it and getting married having kids (yadda yadda) we all know how the story goes. Now I'm back with the intention to get my midlife crisis (dream) car ... a R35 GTR.  You'll see me about asking questions and searching the forums. Good to be back and can't wait to get back an Import again.
    • I have to put something here in order to post the photos. From what I could gather there's more enthusiasm for modified cars now than there has been for years. There were probably more younger people there than older (me included lol) which was a good sign.  It did seem like the record least amount of representation of the 90's era hero cars on display though. Like maybe one or two examples of S-chassis Nissans, and maybe 3 or 4 R-chassis. By comparison there were a lot of Civics from that era but in all there were about 10 - 12 EG/EK Civic Type R.  Euro exotics are always there in large numbers, led by Liberty Walk...... say what you will about kids using markers to scribble on a Ferrari F40, it did seem like a stunt to infuriate Ferrari enthusiasts, or Ferrari itself. I wonder if there's something more to it. Either way LBWK have done some heinous things to a Lamborghini Miura this time. They should stop now.
    • Engines and drivelines are not war stoppers for me mate, busted arse bodies and un-obtainium parts and panels are though Both cheap Brumbies I looked at had trashed tubs and a fair bit of rust
