Lewis Hamilton finally says goodbye to team McLaren

[F1reporter]

LEWIS HAMILTON has finally had the chance to say an emotional goodbye to his McLaren team.

“I’m massively proud to have worked for McLaren for so long. He told The Sun

“I remember the day I first went to the old McLaren factory when I was 13.

“I’ve spent half my life at McLaren. The team, the cars, the place, the people — they’ll always be special to me.

“The Mercedes building definitely isn’t as spectacular as the MTC.

“The challenge of moving to Mercedes will be working with that team’s engineers to take a car that doesn’t win regularly, and turn it into a car that does, like my McLaren.

“I hope to bring great success to Mercedes, but McLaren will always have a special place in my heart.”


Hope you can best performance at Mercedes.

Bye Lewis have fun at Merc

The quote about the Mercedes building is interesting.

Where do you think it'll go?

The building isn't as nice....

The car isn't as fast..........

Nico keeps beating me...........

Ross keeps shouting at me...................

Oh dear oh dear.

Hilarious.

He's still got four more races, not time to say goodbye yet

[geeks]

All four final races are flyaway with little to no gap and he wont be at the MTC again this season so they have taken his access card off him and made him clear his desk

Can i be an F1 reporter if i quote articles from The Sun? or is it just PlanetF1 that can do that?

Nope and neither can he, it's the same bloke who signs up to plug his stuff and gives little back so he can go on his merry way, again.

Thought it might have been... the mobile site still doesn't have a report button though...

The photo in the Sun was taken when he won the championship. There hasn't been a goodbye yet.

Obviously a slow sport news day.

I wonder if Ross has employed a 'nanny' to look after his new prodigy.

How long before the toys are thrown from the pram.

Race 4 would be my guess if results are poor.

Lewis Hamilton has bid farewell to McLaren staff at the team's headquarters ahead of his move to Mercedes next season.

The 27-year-old visited the McLaren Technology Centre in Woking on Friday, when he met both team members and 600 customers of sponsor Vodafone

I do wonder in what way he thinks he can help the engineers design and develop a car that Rosberg and Schumacher couldn't.

Err no he hasn't, I used to work at McLaren and a lot of my friends still do.

They were slightly confused by the story.

Don't believe everything you read

I expect it was a staged 'last day, the clue is in the 600 customers of sponsor Vodafone bit.
