Will McLaren support Lewis now?
Do you think that McLaren will push hard for the WDC with Lewis now, when it is known that he will go to Mercedes next year? They said that they are committed to this, but also said that they will support Jenson and Lewis equally:
McLaren committed to Hamilton's bid | Planet F1 | Formula One | News, Standings, Results, Features, Video
(McLaren) "remains absolutely committed to fighting for, and providing every opportunity to both Jenson Button and Lewis Hamilton to contest, the 2012 drivers' and Constructors' World Championships."
What do you think?Formula 1

I think realistically the WDC is out of reach anyway, now it's about getting the maximum possible points for both drivers to fight for the constructors' championship.

Although I think they will still give Lewis every opportunity to fight for the title, they will also most likely favour Button a bit more, naturally...Tito Vilanova = :champion:

Nice to see that Paddon has good pace with i20 against other cars and drivers..
