Lewis ever in a Ferrari and i would rather stop watching F1
sometimes something should never be
He could be the 2nd coming of Il Leone. He already seems to have the Mansell luck.

I think 2011 exposed some chinks in Hamilton's armor. Not only did he get soundly beaten by his team mate that year, all of his incidents with Massa and the stewards seemed to put his head in a tizzy. How much he was affected (performance wise) by the snow balling affect of these incidents I don't know, but the number of run ins with Massa and others that year was a bit odd to say the least.
He was pretty good for the first half of 2011. I don't go in for the girlfriend rubbish that year, I think the real reason was exposed when he went begging for a seat at Red Bull during the Canada GP. It was all to do with Vettel walking away with another title. All credit to him, he got over it and performed well in 2012 and hasn't look back since.

Possibly. Vettel went from being a non-WDC with an outside chance at the 2010 title to a near certain double WDC in about six months. Lewis probably went from thinking he was in a position to continue the 2007 and 2008 experience and attack for the 2010 and 2011 titles to realising it wasn't going to happen over the same time frame. 2009 could be written off as a once off mixed up year, but 2010 showed what the next four years would look like.

I think Buttoneer's earlier intervention is being forgotten, so here it is again:
I'd like to invite you all to remember the point of the thread. The question is whether having them back together in the same team would reignite your interest in F1. Please do not revisit 2007. We don't want to know whether you actually like either or both of them as people. If the two were thrust together in a team for 2016, would that get you excited about F1?
