This is what Bernie thinks ..

That link is great. Bernie talks about how Lewis is a hero in the UK and how the British love F1. And how has Bernie rewarded Britain? By regularly threatening to remove the British Grand Prix from the fucking calendar!
Lewis hangs out with celebrities (which I find dull but clearly there's some market for that kind of stuff) and it's the same social media platforms that Bernie sees no worth in that elevated Hamilton up there on both sides of the Atlantic.
Here's a fun quote from 2012 in an Autosport interview:
"People ask if I'd like a situation like Fernando's right now at Ferrari, with basically the whole team working around me, but, to be honest, I don't think I would. I kind of like having someone as quick as Jenson there, and having to beat the dude every time."
Not sure he's liking a quicker team mate now...

Not a real racer - by what factor? Alain Prost was totally different in approach to Senna or a balls out driver like Montoya but was just as much a real racer. People claimed the same about Button when he won the Drivers Title and Vettel's had some of the same comments.
Verstappen is indeed a huge talent. Potential there for some big things. Much like Vettel who showed he had something from that first practice session in a BMW Sauber.
If Rosberg stops Ham doing what he needs to to overtake him this season then he absolutely deserves the title. This is the only guy to beat Schumacher consistently, and while maybenot as quick at his best, he's done a great job against Lewis this year.
Suspect it's through hard bloody work. I can well imagine he's put more hours in learning the engine map settings and clutch control, where Lewis may well take a more "I'll do it on the night" approach.
Seems a no-brainer to me. Renault are behind FI at the moment but, as a manufacturer, have budget and in-house engines on their side, meaning there is at least an outside chance of winning something in 2-5 years time. FI are a great midfield team but you can't see them ever winning a title under any circumstances.
K-Mag or Palmer or someone else for the other Renault seat?

Yup - he's in the new Call of Duty as a character.
Hopefully Max is in the game too...

Maybe he's aiming to frighten Rosberg ... his last hope for the championship.

I think Hamilton has one team change left in him, so I think moving to Ferrari is the obvious one. He's clearly not happy with the team this year. Yes his starts have been poor, but it's mechanical failure that's put Rosberg in front. I can see him wanting to see if he can tame the Ferrari team as the last big challenge of his career.
As for spunking money on Kimi, I would say that's money well spent, considering he's leading his team-mate.

2014: Alonso 161 points, Kimi 55.
2015: Vettel 278 points and three wins, Kimi 150 points and zero wins.
2016: Vettel 192 with seven podium finishes, Kimi 178 points with four podium finishes.
Equally if you're going to say that it's mechanical failure that has put Rosberg in front, it's mechanical failure that has helped make the Vettel-Kimi gap closer (Vettel with one DNS this year being an obvious pointer).
It's not a case of Ferrari needing someone to tame them. It's a case that the management has been fucking rubbish for years. Alonso performed heroics getting some of those red lawnmowers as high up the grid as he did. Going from Mercedes, a team with as good a management structure as you can see in F1 right now to a prancing problematic horse... what's in it for Hammy? A big pay cheque and suffering with a dog of a car. Yummy
You come to this forum and describe a former Prime Minister as a cunt and then you get all Mary Whitehouse over a driver swearing. Odd.

Ric now 3rd. Max 4th. Seb 5th.
No word on the swearing yet.

*Kyle Busch flipped the bird at an official in a NASCAR race, they parked him for two laps, fined him $25k and put him on probation for the remainder of the season.
And @Heartfeltdawn is spot on re Ferrari. They're a mess at the top level and have been ever since Domenicalli was pushed. And it's not like his tenure was covered in glory for the most part. Any driver already in a podium team would be nuts to move there.
