they are gettin scurred now 
What gets me, is all 'these' Lewis fans, that'll cry if he leaves McLaren. Get over it, he isn't the team....he is a driver - a very good one, but not McLaren.

There was a newspaper article that kicked this off. The article caught button by surprise as well. it basically said that Button dropped Hamilton for Perez on Twitter.
As usual the media created news that didn't exist and nearly caused a bust up.
I'll see if i can find the link.

That whole Twitter thing is amusing
Just found this Lewis Caganer figure, its a pooing statue in the Nativity; a weird Catalan Christmas tradition.
Interesting comments from Button,

If they are so tolerant with this tradition as they were with Carnival in the past, somebody is going to have a hard time
Alonso says Hamilton is still his strongest rival in Formula 1
Fernando Alonso is sticking to his view that Lewis Hamilton remains his strongest rival in Formula 1, despite Sebastian Vettel having captured his third world title.
Although Alonso thinks it is too early to judge which of his rivals will challenge him the hardest in 2013, in terms of driving talent he has no doubts about who he thinks is the best.
"I do not know who will be my main opponent for this season, he who has the best team, with the best year in terms of preparation, luck, testing, all of these factors, will help a driver or team to come on top of others," he said at Ferrari's Wrooom media event at Madonna di Campiglio on Thursday.
"But as for strongest opponent, who is strongest driver? My answer is Hamilton. It was true last year, it was true this year.
"The strongest driver? It is a personal opinion, not political, not to make people think something. Who is the strongest opponent, the strongest driver on grid? Who is the one you have to keep an eye on? It is Hamilton - and it will still be Hamilton next year."
When asked why he did not think Vettel was the strongest driver after winning a third consecutive driver's championship, Alonso said: "I am not saying he is not the strongest driver.
"In 2011, there was a fantastic performance from him. It is true the car was much in front of everybody, they [Red Bull] were first and second consistently, and when the car is good you tend to relax in some races.
"But I remember difficult races in 2011 with wet/dry conditions, and he did not do any single mistake. So for sure in these three years there were moments when he was better than anybody else and he deserved these three championships."
Although Hamilton has played down his prospects for the season ahead as he undertakes a new challenge at Mercedes,Alonso thinks is unlikely the Briton will not win races.
"I am sure he will be able to win," he said. "He is a super good driver because he won every year with any car: he won in 2007 and 2008.
"In 2009 they started around two seconds off the pace with the McLaren, and Hamilton was able to win races – and it was the same in 2010.
"Last year also Nico [Rosberg] we saw winning in China with Mercedes. So with Hamilton he will be able to win more than one race."

Strong words from a former teammate, basically saying what most of us already know.
Interesting video from Alonso regarding Mclaren and Hamilton.

He Looks like a Big man with that beard rather than like a Young guy
Yea it´s been what 6 years now and closing in on 30.
Ya He was also he looks so Excited and so was the Mercedes staff. It could be a Good Year for them if they show their Skills in developing a Good car.
Rumor is Paddy Lowe is coming over.
Will be one hell of a staff if true. Wolff taking over for Haug is great as well.

Mclaren still didn't say anything about that. Let's see what happens but so much Technical experts may damage team equilibrium.
An Idiom we generally use in India : "The More "More" will only cause Destruction"
Yea but i wonder if not some people will have to leave, i think this is why reports came out about Brawn etc.
(i dont think Brawn will leave, but maybe Fry)
I just hope it´s true at least regarding Lowe. He´s been at Mclaren for 20 years now so maybe it will be nice to do something new.
