If Hamilton moved (25 posts)

    McLaren have had a policy of going for the two best drivers they can get their hands on. So since Hamilton comes off contract at the end of 2012 you just need a list of drivers who will also be available at the same time. Kubica is on a three year deal with Renault isn’t he?

    Probably either Rosberg or Hulkenberg look like good driver material for McLaren. DiResta at a stretch (at this point).

    Kobayashi is fast becoming a hero-driver of mine, but I don’t think McLaren would go for him.

    Kobayashi! Was my gut instinct without being swayed by above comments!

    @butterdori – I’m inclined to agree with you. By the time Hamilton moves I can’t see any of the current crop moving to McLaren. McLaren will be no doubt grooming someone or at least have their eyes open for their next star.

    Erm, in 3/4 years or so, when he’s 19/20… Nyck de Vries? The next young driver in McLaren’s acadamey, managed by Anthony Hamilton, although i can’t see Lewis leaving, but he may. But i can likely see, come 2015, when Nyck is 20, he may take Buttons seat alongside lewis.

    Robert Kubica.
    Raw speed, good team player and ability to develop the car.

    It won’t happen. But I think that it would be a great sporting gesture to give the seat to Heidfeld, their young prodigy 10-15 years ago, overlooked by McLaren. May get his first win :D

    Button and Heidfeld would be the ultimate reliability line up.

    Hamilton really needs to move and that was proved by his race in Malaysia, if his pit crew would have would have made a call earlier or later the result would have been different, instead he ended up behind button and then that w***** called Alonso to his rear end out,, it was the same last year with rubbish pit calls by his team

    The contact with Alonso didn’t damage Hamiltons car at all! He was already slow on his used tyres which is why he came out behind Button in the first place and then TOLD the team he was coming in to pit again for his final stop when the team wanted him to go to the end of the race on the set he was on.

    It was all his own doing which is why he was sulking after the race!

    His ability to read a race is probably the worst I’ve ever seen from a ‘top’ driver!
