Re: When can Hamilton return to McLaren?

I wouldn't be surprised to see Merc join the upper echelons of the sport in a few years No doubt, but how many actual years is a "few" years? The way F1 is competitive now, it could take Merc longer than Hamilton's F1 lifespan to match McLaren, Ferrari & RBR. And don't forget that those teams will ...

Re: McLaren's nightmare season in a nutshell

I don't see how Martin Whitmarsh gets all the blame for the poor strategy and reliability. It's not his fault the gearboxes fail or when the mechanics can't put enough fuel in the car. Hamilton leaving is probably Whitmarsh's fault though. He is the boss he is responsible. IF one of my apprentices ...
