I would like to see Hamilton get out of his molly-coddled baby seat at MacLaren and into the Ferrari where he might be treated like an adult with responsibilities, not someone’s little kid that they have nurtured for years.
Personally, I think Hammo’s problems stem from the fact that he started with tremendous support from Ron The Cheat Dennis, his father and others. That all seems to have evaporated, and he’s now being treated as just an employee, same as all other drivers. His support network has disappeared, so he’s now on his own, and clearly struggling. I think other teams will be wary of signing him, despite his undoubted talent, because of his obvious frailties, unless he can show that he’s matured significantly. He’s gone backwards big time this season, and overtaken by Button, which must really screw with his head.
I think it were Jackie Stewart what sed Hammo had won his WC too early. I agree; I think it’s heaped too much pressure on him to achieve, and he can’t quite cope on his own now. Maybe it wooduv bin better had Massa won that year (let’s face it Lewis only won by a fluke), then Lewis would praps be less arrogant and believing he shood be winning all the time. I don’t really think he ‘earned’ his WC tbh, like other drivers have. He’s got the ability, sure, but it was handed on a plate to him, very much.
Mark Webber would be a good call, funnily enough, cos he’s a comitted team player and obviously does not in any way mind being a Number Two driver. Would fit right in at Ferrari. 🙂
