Caption Competition 28: Hamilton at Mercedes
Caption Competition
Mercedes were in the headlines this week for reasons other than Lewis Hamilton’s first public appearance for the team.
The surprise hiring of Toto Wolff from Williams was followed by speculation that he had lured Paddy Lowe from McLaren to join him and that team principal Ross Brawn would have to make way.
While all this was going on Hamilton was checking out his new team. What did he make of them? That’s for you to decide in the latest Caption Competition.

Driving the wheels of this car must be hard when there’s… no wheels on it.

Ross Brawn: “And if you need to do a clutch start, we repurposed the double-DRS vents as handles for the mechanics to grab onto to give you a push.”
Leiws Hamilton: “Yeah, but what at the chances that I’ll need to do that?”
Ross Brawn: “High.”

Upon closer inspection of their car, Lewis realised that Mercedes definitely have the brains. The question is, do they have the Brawn?
