Does Lewis still get the F1 LM?

[zac510]

The F1 LM he was promised last year... Do you think it was still on the table for this year's WDC?

[Wanta996Gotta]

No, Ron has said that he needs to win 3 champinships now.

[deevlash]

wasnt it for winning the wdc and constructors? or 2 wdc's in a row?

"He can have one when he delivers two of the next three world championships to McLaren."

Answered my own question.

I'd be wanting a test drive now!

Lewis has enough of the folded to buy his own if he can find one.

I think that the finding one for sale bit is going to be the hard one...

But this is the LM model, not the boring, slow standard non-LM model!

which is actually almost 20mph slower than the "Standard" F1:

F1 road car: 241mph
F1 LM: 224 mph

Still no slouch though, and it would still eat any supercar alive round a track, even the mighty Veyron...

[zac510]

Of course my comment was tongue in cheek..

[joncon]

on bbc news....
ron dennis confirmed 3 world championships to earn his F1 LM

[dpbird90]

I wonder what Heikki would get if he wins the next 3 championships? Probably Ron's job and double the salary and the LM & GT Longtail F1's.

Has anyone put a Veyron around a track to see what it is all about yet?

only slower due to gearing and downforce. it's only juuuuuuust barely a road car though. it's full racecar inside anyway. think i'd rather have the normal one, even thought it doesn't look quite as cool.
