The reigning F1 world champion, Lewis Hamilton, was quizzed on his future by Sun readers in an exclusive Q&A session. McLaren ace Hamilton, 24, said: “I’m into all kinds of sports, a bit like Michael Schumacher. I’d love to try a MotoGP bike but not particularly race one. I would love to try one of Malcolm Wilson’s rally cars – and one day I might try a NASCAR.
But if Mercedes-Benz want to go to Le Mans one day and take me, I’ll do that.” Hamilton ruled out chasing glory at the gruelling Indy 500, though. He said: “To do the Indy 500 you have to be going at it. It would be unreasonable for me to expect to get in the car and go and win it.
I say keep the ignorant English idiot out of the sport. You can’t try “a NASCAR” as NASCAR is the sanctioning body. That would be like somebody telling him they want to try “a FIA”. If you are too ignorant to even refer to the sport right then stay the heck out.
Something got lost in translation.
Yeah I agree Fisha, I cant stand lewis. I know im loving the fact that red bull and braun are dominating the series this year. I wouldnt mind seeing ole Schumacher run a year to see what he could do, other then that F1 guys need to stay in F1.
If Lewis wants to drive “a NASCAR” then I say set up a deal like they did with the 24 and JPM,(I think it was Juan) except use the 18. Lewis wants to drive one of ours and I keep hearing the shrub wants to drive one of theirs, so there ya go. It might be good for a laugh or maybe a surprise or 2. I don’t see it happening but it would be cool.
i do believe ray evernham extended an offer to michael schumacer and he refered to nascar as a buch of rednecks racing jalopies. sorry michael is a idiot and im sure hed fall on his face over here. if lewis wants to come over then bring it on. id like to see wat he could do. at least he has the interest. but i would like the f1 guys to stay in f1 from now on. the only f1 guy i like is jpm. say wat u want but that dude can drive anything and do well. look what hes doin in tei’s cars. not too many can do that.
