We all knew that Lewis was a fan of the rap scene, but nobody thought its' pull would be more alluring than racing in Formula One. He's quitting at the end of the season, hoping to bow out with the same three titles his idol Ayrton Senna claimed.

Whilst I'd love to see big Carlos in a F1 car I'd prefer Jos the Toss as far away from it as possible.

thankfully Max takes after his mother   ;)

Please no !!  :mad:  :mad:  :(

 

Bring back Renault V10s and Ferrari V12 if they want something simpler (and thus cheaper). Their sound would be much better  :love:

#LewisHamilton Drops #LeMans#Indy bomb
Double world champion walks away from #F1 and +MERCEDES AMG PETRONAS 

Lewis Hamilton has quit the Mercedes F1 team with immediate effect following a fracas after last weekend’s Malaysian Grand Prix. In a shock announcement last night the double world Formula 1 champion confirmed that he will tackle the 2015 Le Mans 24 Hour and the Indianapolis 500.

“I will no longer drive for Mercedes in Formula 1,” Hamilton confirmed. ”It has been coming for a while, but rather let’s leave it at that.” 

“What I can say is that I will be racing a revolutionary new #Datsun at Le Mans and I will also be competing in the Indianapolis 500.”

The even sadder thing is the track has already been Tilke'd with that hideous final chicane, opening up the exit of La Source, installing a car park on the outside of Pouhon removing any risk in getting it wrong and being beached in the kitty litter..... it has elevation, a forest, and past glories.  And boring races, unless it rains.  No longer a classic.

Not to be outdone by Australia and Malaysia, China has taken on Zeng Chengjie to conduct the podium interviews for its upcoming Grand Prix.
