In GT racing there are 2 drivers. Here Alex needs to come in to let James have a go
Ben is togged up and ready to refuel
Alex gets out so James can get in
The boys get 3rd in class
But did sustain a bit of damage in some comings together - the Ferrari 430 that rammed James up the arse had to retire
-
He should have quit at the end of last year. This is not how you want to be remembered after a stellar career. He's lost his edge and his ego can't handle it.
Another singapore snooze. Feel bad for Lewis, probably the end of his championship run.

Yes, the best part about Singapore was watching Lewis retire.
Bring on Japan!

"Lewis Hamilton to leave McLaren after signing Mercedes contract
By Andrew Benson
Chief F1 writer
Lewis Hamilton is to leave McLaren after signing a three-year deal to race for Mercedes from next season.
The move, predicted by BBC Sport's Eddie Jordan earlier this month, was announced on Friday, causing huge repercussions throughout Formula 1.
It has forced Michael Schumacher out of Mercedes but it is not clear whether the German legend will go back into retirement or look for another team."Oh dear me…....

I read for £15m a year, plus the opportunity to have personal sponsors. And, he'll probably get the chance to keep the originals of any trophies he wins.
Looks like Perez took the second McLaren seat. I was hoping for Di Resta. Also hoping that Schumacher, while he should retire, takes the second Ferrari seat and pushes Massa out to IndyCar.

There is no chance now that Lewis will be a title contender. No more upgrades or development for his car. Must be kind of awkward, similar to living in a house with your wife while getting divorced.
Disappointed it wasn't DiResta taking the spot. He's shown proven pace and initiative whereas Perez isn't as consistent.
Maybe Lewis will be happy at Mercedes. McLaren has had a fast car this year but not reliable enough for todays standard.

From the BBC today, regarding a frustrating Monaco GP;
McLaren driver Perez made a series of aggressive overtaking moves, in one of which he collided with Raikkonen.
Asked if the drivers would talk to Perez, Raikkonen said: "That won't help. Maybe someone should punch him in the face."
Perez said: "Kimi put me straight in the wall at the entry to the corner."God I love Kimi Raikkonen
