Autumnpuma 0 Report post Posted April 16, 2007 The fact he is inspired by schumi doesn't mean hes gonna start acting like him Indeed. Seriously, Hammy grew up with Michael and Ferrari at the top of the sport so I would expect no less from him than this admiration. Slightly older drivers will admire Prost or Senna. Older still, JYS and Mario Andretti. It's generational, so I wouldn't put too much stock in it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dribbler 6 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 I was referring to the bit about arrogance actually something schumi had in abundance That's your opinion. I thought you craved fact. Michael's perceived arrogance was precisely that. Anyone who has read about the man knows differently. Maybe you should do the same. Possibly, but I think (unlike schumi) Lewis would have to earn his status as team #1 so it requires him to put a lot of work in. He does however have a positive attitude, and he can only get better Once again, a little dig. Michael did earn his status. He comprehensively crushed his team mates who had equal treatment at beginning of each year, but then you know that and i have written this a hundred times before. Time for you to get that book out again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
goferrarigo 0 Report post Posted April 17, 2007 Hoping that he doesn't go to Ferrari. After everything McLaren have done for his career he would be nothing more than a cheap sellout if he did that, not to mention that driving for Ferrari would make it impossible for me to cheer for him. Well Flavio built Alonso carrer.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Briatore got Alonso the drive at Minardi and then took him to Renault. He broke the record by being the youngest GP winner at Renault. He became the youngest World Drivers Champion at Renault. Alonso became who he is now at Renault. But who is he driving for now, McLaren. Does that make Alonso cheap and a sellout? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This is of course a possibility although i rather suspect that Lewis has a greater respect for Michael's work ethic and team dynamic approach rather than his actual achievements.
