McLaren for life?

[GEISHA]

From F1 live:

British Formula One star Lewis Hamilton insisted Sunday that he wants to stay with McLaren for life.
The 22-year-old narrowly missed out on the driver's championship title in his first full season and looks set to be McLaren's main driver next season after the departure of Fernando Alonso.

Now Hamilton has set his sights on winning the world title and staying with McLaren throughout his racing career.
Hamilton told Radio Five Live's Sportsweek programme: "I don't know how long I will be in Formula One but the team I am with right now is the only team I want to be with."

"I know the guys so well and I had a great season. They gave me a great opportunity. I want to win World Championships and I want to win it for them," he added.
"I see my career ending with them. I don't feel there is anywhere else to go. When you are in Formula One there are the top teams and I believe McLaren is a top team, so why would I make a sidestep or a back step to any other team. I want to be the best driver there is today," concluded Hamilton.

Its easy for him to say that now but when the likes of Ferrari or some other top running team whoever it may be in a few years (BMW?) his head will be turned. I don't know why he comes out with stuff like this as its sure to be quoted by the press the minute he puts pen to paper should he move later just like they are have a field day with his comments about moving to get away from the publicity in the UK when we all knew he was really escaping the tax man and has since admitted it apparently on a talk show.

This month's Car magazine has some good stuff on Lewis and his rise through the series.

when we all knew he was really escaping the tax man and has since admitted it apparently on a talk show.

It's interesting that one, Parkinson asked him if tax had influenced his decision to move to Switzerland and Lewis said yes definately. But it was not a statement or an admission just an acceptance that tax had been an influence on his decision. Of course the way it is reported makes it appear that that was his motive all along and that he admitted it and should be judged as if he had lied to us. In the context of the conversation it was just a straight forward answer to a question and one that if he had said no it wasn't no one would have believed him any way.
