I do not know the facts, but when this story was first reported last year, it was said that Ron had told him that, if LH were to win the DC in two of the next three years (including '07), then McLaren would be willing to sell the car to Lewis.Lucky bugger: http://en.f1-live.com/f1/en/headlines/news/detail/...
has reported this as "if Lewis takes the next two WDCs"carbonfootprint said:
I always figured F1 drivers would rather drive 'normal' cars outside of work - something like a comfy but speedy AMG or something
Lets be honest, Lewis would prably find the Macca F1 a tad boring (as weird as that sounds!)
In the article it stated that the F1 LM is his dream car, and has been ever since he first saw it when he was 13 (I think).Lets be honest, Lewis would prably find the Macca F1 a tad boring (as weird as that sounds!)

Spoilt little pri*k, what the hell does he need that for !! Fastest MOTO GP boy wins a BMW M something at the end of the Jerez testing, that does them ok, why the hell does golden boy need Ron "sugar daddy" Dennis to promise hime an F1 LM ??
he drives a diesel merc 4x4 on the roads, he said so on top gear. Id imagine the difference in rewards for winning a motogp title against an f1 title are down to market forces.

Money can't buy that car. It's nice to think that he'll actually use when he gets it and out of all the F1 owners he'll be able to use it to it's capabilities the most (sorry Flemke)-

The flip side is that there is one chap who is likely to be an owner for a very long time, and as long as he is, I could never be the worst-driving owner. And that's not including Ralph Lauren, who is not likely to keep Kimi Raikkonen awake at night either.

Although off topic, I would love to see all the drivers in identical cars with identical set-ups given a few days practice then quali and race each other to see who really is tops
You could even include some golden oldies and the odd wild card like Walter Rohl as a yard stick

It's all just H_Y_P_E_R_B_O_L_E - Oh - and Rossi earns as much as virtually any of the top F1 drivers in a year - more than Hamilton did last year and probably more than he will earn this year....D_I_A_B_L_O said:

Uh oh - j_e_a_l_o_u_s_y alert? It isn't about "need" is it? It's about "want" and "can". carbonfootprint said:
