Insecure? rolleyes.gif ... Its called faith, its called reference material we have seen in Lewis's F1 carreer. I know what i have seen and i know what Lewis is capable off, so stop the dr.Phil psychology (page 44, 'have control of your life again') please.

Last post towards you because you dont seem to have any descent post / information what would make Lewis look bad against Kimi / Nico in that McLaren.

You seem to mix up flinching with rockhard facts ... rolleyes.gif wave.gif Bye bye, disguised Kimi fan.

You are quite right about Kimi, but Nico is no where near there....



We won't have any idea about that unless Kimi is confirmed as the new driver. It'll be a interesting competition.

I would be on Lewis wink.gif

Says here it might be Brawn or McLaren for Kimi.

I would only be happy with:

Nico
Heidfeld
Kimi


Nice I think would get whipped.
Heidfeld would be a great number two

Kimi, can go eitherway....

Button wont' be separated from Brawn though surely.

McLaren had the option on Heidfeld but took Kimi, I don't think anything has happened since that would convince them to employ him.

Guys this is not up for debate Haug and Mercedes have spoken, they want a Gemran driver. To put it bluntly, Whitmarsh has no say. The Ron/ Fin era is over. Its going to be British/ German or nothing else. Brands speak and Kimi is nothing in Gemrnay compared to Nico.

Button only has a contract for this year I believe - and it would be a brave man to bet that Brawn will be as competitive next year.

I just think Button is now part of the furniture at Brawn. He's engrained into that team after all the ups and downs they've had.

Where have you been since the end of 2007 season? Haug wants German drivers. The whole Fin love affair is over. Ron is gone. Mercedes are stepping up and more acvtive not just with McLaren but with other teams offering more engines and deals.

Yes and Haug did say

“How things develop, we cannot discuss in public, but we have known Nico long enough and he is a man on the list. It is clear that he is on many teams' lists,”

This certainly gives the Kimi/McLaren rumour added credibility. I'd really really love to see Kimi back at McLaren.

It would be great for Maclaren to sign either Nico Rosenberg or Quick Nick,can't see Kimi comming back

So no source then.

What about Kubica? Surley right up there. If McLaren are serious and trully want someone other than a no 2.

Hedfield is beating his ass and he is German. Yes Nick is very much wanted in McLaren!

Kubica is high maintenance, as a fan I wouldn't want him, who McLaren want/gets who knows.

It's Sutil all the way in what will go down as one of the cleverest moves of wool pulling of all time. drunk.gif Actually I would go for Hulkenberg, I'd say to Williams give us your prodigy and you can keep Rosberg, deal? Deal, they would say. I would then nuture Hulkenberg alongside Hamilton for a 2011 lock down title double.
Lewis
QUOTE (wasssup bra @ Aug 29 2009, 09:44) *
Lewis better prepare for a beat down. Nico and kimi are a class above. I hope they keep Kova though because Lewis is my fav driver clap.gif


Class above hahahahahaha. roflmao.gif Nah, Kimi is too old and Nico is just lucky with his lastname. they should take a new talent like Hulkenberg or one from their own young talent program.

Ferrari should take Alonso instead of Kimi and Kubica to Renault.

McLaren will not be re signing Kimi or anybody that will take away points from Lewis. Let's get it straight - 2 dominant drivers in 2007 cost them the title, that wont be allowed to happen again. They don't need or want Kimi, they have a brighter and more committed talent in Lewis (not to mention cheaper).
All McLaren need is a solid number two who can bring in more points than Heikki can now - Enter Quick Nick. Simple as.

The number one and number two driver system works - Ferrari proved it, Renault confirmed it and McLaren emphasised it last year.

Watching the live timing during practice and qualifying I have noticed that Nakajima is usually very very close or ahead of Rosberg on their runs, despite usually stuffing up when it counts, but shows you he has comparable one lap pace when the pressure is off.



In case you are watching the timings careful you would see there is no very close runs in general, Nakajima usually some tenths behind and this is a big difference in today's Formula 1. Of course Rosberg is underrated often. I'm sure the teams are able to estimate his peformance much better.

Rosberg....but it remains to be seen whether Mclaren will plump for someone as quick as Lewis

Ferrari would be making a great decision in dumping Kimi for a certain experienced 2X WDC, The one regarded as the best in F1 wink.gif
