Andy_Bangle Posted September 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 Lewis Hamilton just started his press conference by saying "Guys I have an announcement to make....I'm retiring." Then burst out laughing "No chance." 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted September 3, 2016 Report Share Posted September 3, 2016 A pretty shrewd move by Ron Dennis et al and no doubt very lucrative for Jenson. Some would say a win-win scenario:-) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cuprabob Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Wonder if this has anything to do with Ron's departure... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garcon magnifique Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I suspect he'd already made the decision but went for the 'sabbatical' option to give himself the maximum time to change his mind. One of F1's most underrated drivers. Wouldn't be surprised if he takes Mark Webber's vacated seat at Porsche. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree with that, in the right car he is a superb driver, the last time he was in a 1/2 decent car was 2011/2 & his drive in Canada 2011 still ranks as my best watched of all time. Stone cold last on lap 37 well back from the pack & won the race!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theduisbergkid Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 Nice bloke, I would have loved to see him present TG in a "stig plus" sort of role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted November 24, 2016 Report Share Posted November 24, 2016 I'm sure he'll become part of the CH4 F1 team next year alongside Mark Webber. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cuprabob Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 I really liked the sculpture made up from bits off Jenson's old cars that CH4 (DC) presented him with to commemorate his retirement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scotty Posted November 27, 2016 Report Share Posted November 27, 2016 Amazing piece of art. Something that I'm sure he'll treasure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
