Oh, he's a bit dillusional about it really :laugh: Wait until he starts hit vitriol concerning British Motorsport fans; it's hilarious!
Like I said, the blokes a dick but he can't stop coming back and trolling. It's all rather pathetic and the sooner he buys himself a blow job and forgets about us, the better for everyone :D
Now, it's 11:00 and in off to bed.
Charming discussion on this thread.
Anyway. I believe that he just wants to deliver what the team want. Which is Lewis winning races and improving Mercedes.
Its taken him a while to find his feet, but I think he feels its now timet to start moving forward.
Back on topic and reading the article, its clear Lewis isn't whining at all. He's stating the team may have lost confidence in him over the last few races and he feels he needs to up his game. Its just a driver acknowledging he needs to do better and we can't grumble at that. Toto is reassuring in his interview by suggesting Mercedes picked Lewis as an investment and they are committed to helping him around his settling in problems. Its a new environment and a car designed with totally different philosophies than he's used to. The advantage he has next season is the fact the car will have more input with his needs taken into consideration. They didn't know Lewis was joining them until three quarters of the way through last season and development was already well under way. Lewis will find his groove, but it will take time. When Mercedes have two drivers firing on all cylinders I think they will be a force to be reckoned with. It can only be exciting and hopefully we'll see the likes of Vettel, Alonso, Hamilton and Rosberg fighting it out properly by the end of this season. :)

I was really impressed with how Lewis did in a circuit like Canada, especially a one this is so hard on braking considering he is having issues with that exact thing. Still, he has been very mature about it and taken it in his stride. He knows he needs to improve and is working on it. He still conclusively kicked Nico's ass this weekend though, which is something I don't ever remember Schumacher managing. We have two of the best drivers of their generation driving the same car on the grid. How often does that happen? Very rarely and I'm really going to enjoy watching it develop.
I don't think the McLaren had a toilet facility anyway. Sometimes you do let slip your education level.......Quote:

You missed him being taken out of the lead in Brazil.Quote:
