Hamilton to Spyker....
Apparently Spyker were planning to offer Hamilton $10 million a year if McLaren didn't offer him a race seat. Did this force McLaren's hand or is it just a rumour?

first i'd heard of that but it does sound plausable.
"I" before "E" except after "C". Weird.

The story I'd heard was that he's contracted to McLaren, but that Mercedes were willing to fund an engine supply to a "B-team" to give him experience.
There are many reasons, of course, why that didn't happen in the end.Useful F1 Twitter thingy: http://goo.gl/6PO1u

Highly unlikely in my book. For one thing LH was offered his macca contract way back in september, spyker barely existed then.

Sounds plausible, but Hamilton wouldn't have done it. He already had a guaranteed spot for McLaren in 2008, and with his racinge experience, why race for Spyker when he could be honing his skills via testing the car for a year?
It'd be a very ambitious offer from Spyker that wouldn't have worked.

Rumour of course, Spyker have said that they are looking for a pay driver to take the second seat so paying Hamilton $10 mil was never going to happen.
Its also the reason that Monteiro is most likely to get the seat thanks to his $$$, I'd rather see Sutil in that seat after his friday paractice performances this year.
