Comment of the day
@Lin1876 on the topic everyone's talking about:
McLaren really are caught between a rock and a hard place here. On the one hand, they're surely looking at their bank balance, knowing Perez or Rosberg won't impact on it anywhere near as much as Hamilton, yet if they lose Hamilton they lose a great talent. An expensive and petulant talent, yes, but a talent nevertheless.
I don't see them showing Hamilton the door, but I doubt they'll be bending over backwards to keep him either ' Button/Perez or Button/Rosberg could still get the job done in the right environment.
I find it hard to believe all this isn't a distraction. His foreseeable future is at stake here, and he has to choose between being confident of challenging and the opportunity for more freedom. I would personally stay, but choosing the latter would be a very Lewis Hamilton thing to do.
