This week's mag dropped through the letterbox a short time ago. Whilst I waited for my coffee to cool down I started to thumb through it. There's an article about LH becoming the joint highest F1 race winner including input from Martin Whitmarsh.
A real LOL moment for me, first time I really have laughed out load so much for a very long time....... When Lewis joined the McLaren team, they'd already signed Alonso. In Whitmarsh's words, when they told Alonso who his team-mate would be, Fernando's response was "We're meant to be fighting for the championship. How can we fight when we have a rookie in the other seat? You can't be serious. We need someone to push me"

It was the most extraordinary year. If one looks at how Gasly and Albon have badly struggled when they have got top seats, that was Hamilton back in 2007. In his first year. Him and Verstappen have the ability to drive whatever, and drive it fast from the outset. You had spygate, Hamilton and Alonso playing games with each other, and the finale where Kimi took it all!
Bernie didn't need to spend anything on publicity in 2007, McLaren did it all for free!

Still annoyed at the McLaren gate which resulted in a record fine. For what I would say was nothing.
