    Like all others in a good car. In a not so good, car he LH is good but not on par with FA to get it up the grid. Thats a defining trait not many have. LH has not shown that vs FA. Frankly is a less than perfect car FA is the only star.

    If that was the case they would have kept Alonso on for 2015, not re-sign him. Or someone like Hulkenberg, Perez, Button for a year (+ option) and offer Ham the 40 or 50 million he wants for 2016. He was available and still is.

    But they didn't. They went with Kimi and Vettel.

    - - - -

    In the right team, Hamilton would be fantastic to have. Unfortunately, he needs a lot of micromanaging to keep his mind focused. He doesn't get on with others well unless they're not quick. He has posted confidential team data on social media. He's insecure. If your team is winning everything this can all be worth it, but you kinda need a car as dominant W05 AND Ham to win the title for all this bad stink to go away.

    They took Alonso and Hamilton beat Alonso... and he doesn't run scared kind Vettel. Vettel almost quit when Ricardo was beating him. Not mentally strong enough. Hamilton would be a breath of fresh air for the Scuderia.

    Remember, though, that the word on the (Tarmac) was that Vet/Ferrari had an "agreement" in place during the 2013 season (around Monza, when Alonso was out of sorts). Vettel was the hottest commodity around at the time, and he's still a 4x WDC despite last season (I also wonder if maybe last season was a "lame duck" one for Vet...lacking in motivation)

    Ham was in his first season with Merc so I doubt he was an option. I think anybody paying attention knows that there is no freaking way you would EVER pair Hamilton & Vettel together.

    Regardless, Ferrari got their guy. Hopefully they can give him a car to work with.

    Vettel will be the next schumi and I don't think he's that good, obviously better than any of us, but alonso and hamilton are definitely more skilled He will just luck into the right place and the right time when ferrari gets their **** together I would say by 2017 season. He'll get a rookie to ride side by side with a shell grab another championship or two.

    Vettel 6 wdc by 2019.
    Alonso will leave with 2 maybe a 3rd after 2016 because honda mclaren wont be able to compete in 2015(even though i want them to)and move on to WEC.
    Button will leave with 1 maybe next year and go to WEC .
    Hamilton will leave with 3 in 2017-2018 and not go anywhere.
    Rosberg will have 1 I think next year.
    Ricciardo won't have any until maybe 2018-2019. Red bull is going backwards right now and will not catch Merc this year. The only wild card is Honda everyone else is too far behind and Honda might be also.

    So it will have no bearing on his performance and he'll be just as emotionally volatile as before?

    All the best,
    Andrew.

    Bet it does, massa has been on the phone to his insurance company beefing up his cover, and frank Williams ordered some armoured wings for the car. Last time hambone got upset with the little Brazilian Casanova because Nicole kept saying she was 'going out to get a Brazilian' and all hell broke lose. Hahahahahahahaha.

    Looks like Lewis isn't all that good. Nico was faster in testing.

    Not in my opinion.

    Is he any more emotionally volatile than other drivers?, a polarizing driver with an inherent amazing skill, emotionally unstable, well I take it even if I thought that was the case.

    Has he ever had a compliant #2 teammate ?, is this why you think he is emotionally unbalanced.

    I would imagine achieving 2 x WDC's can take it's toil on the old emotions.
