Hamilton is still a free agent at the end of the season.
Black Jesus and Emonso at the prancing horse in 2013? :eek3:

Emo would probably veto that one.

Seems the only seats would be ferrari and maybe schumi's @ mercedes. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a "no hambone" clause in Fred's contract.

Me thinks hamilton will be at macca for a while. Think of it though...if he was repeating his horrible performances from last year, he may not have even been offered a contract. Fired from mclaren and relegated to sauber or FI. :noes:

Shocker, a professional athlete gives a canned PC answer to an actually tough question. I don't buy it.

Eh, his bar seems set a bit higher than others. His 'horrible performance' still ended in 3 wins for the team, same number as the 'amazing' Jenson.

You don't let talent like that go easily.

He'd have 'no problem' with them there as he's the contracted #1. :o

LH won't go to Ferrari. They have a history of team orders...there isn't another team on the grid other than RB that has the resources like McL. He's staying put.

One of the things I enjoy about the Beeb feed...their crazy antics for getting into the race. Like strapping Eddie, DC, and Humphrhy onto the top of a biplane. :eek3:

Who's dumping F1 next season? Is Santanador renewing w/ Ferrari? I know Vodaphone is looking into dropping McLaren...but Heikki makes a great no. 2. Fast enough to bring in points, polished enough not to make mistakes, and won't bother Alonso with outright speed. Perez would kill his career going to Ferrari...but that's my opinion. I think mentally, Alonso won't make the same mistake twice such as he did at McLaren.

I dunno if Hekki would honestly move to a faster team if it meant he had to be a #2. He seems to really enjoy having his input really reflect in the car's design and whatnot from the interviews he's had the last two seasons.

Santander doesn't have any money, it would likely be hard to justify that kind of expenditure.

Santander was a 5 year deal starting in '09.

edit: nm, it got reupped earlier this year too:
