Who will drive at McLaren next year?

FA needs to grow up big time. He's getting his a** kicked by LH. Like Mika Hakkinen said, FA simply cannot handle the fact he is being outdone by a rookie. I would prefer it if FA left McLaren - it leaves the door open for some really talented youngsters who are hungry to race in F1.

Timber... are you for real?

the british did not invent slavery, merely refined it, and arguably abandoned slavery when it was at its most lucrative, it should be noted of course slavery was refined further by....you! in the united states as for other inventions of note im not going to quote every single one as time is short so here are a few highlights the Tin Can, the Locomotive, industry, radar, the vacuum cleaner, the language that you speak, viagra, lightbulbs, the fax, the internet, television, penicillin... and as this is a motosport forum lets bring this back on topic slightly, disc brakes, the internal combustion engine(in principle british involvement predates german), putting the engine behind the driver etc. etc. etc.

[sarcasm mode] Yeah you're right. I can't see any of them wanting to drive the best car on the track at the moment, for a team who have always treated both their drivers as equals :rolleyes: [sarcasm mode]

Hang on, if LH can win the championship without having earned it, or with no talent, or by using FA's settings etc then it doesn't matter WHO drives, because obviously it's purely the car not the driver

How can you say that he hasn't earned it :confused: He has consistantly beaten his vastly more experienced, and two-time world champion, teammate. It doesn't matter that he's beaten everyone else too, the best measure of any driver is how they compare to their teammate.

Still, that doesn't really matter because Alonso has been given an inferior car by a team that hates, hasn't he ? :rolleyes:

Indeed. If I was a rookie and won a WDC in my first year and beat my very highly rated teamate, I would expect some sort of recognition.

LH is a great addition to the F1 circus and should be respected for the maturity he has shown on and off the track. He could have done a lot worse and used his rookie status as an excuse. Rather he has let his racing do the talking and delivered the goods.

He's constantly beaten Alonso, oh really? What would the WDC standings be if FIA hadn't decided to bogusly move Alonso back on one of the hardest tracks to pass on in the entiire history of formula one? Alonso has outdriven and out qualified alonso when fuel load is considered essentially every race this year.
