New Contract (Lewis Hamilton)

Cleoriff — Tue, 31 Mar 2015 07:45:11 GMT

Just in case you thought the title of the thread referred to me having a new contract...No...not at all.

It has been announced that Lewis Hamilton will be signing a new contract with Mercedes today..

Worth £27,000,000.....a year....

I am an avid Formula One fan...and no secret that I love Lewis Hamilton. He has always been a favourite of mine....but £27,000,000?

Pleased for me Jane?....I wish it was me getting 27 million....

Mind you some will think its silly money...others will say... if they want to keep a driver of Hamilton's calibre then they have to pay for the privilege

And then you will always get people like my husband ....who will keep shouting loudly that F1 is too safe now and nothing like it was in the 'good ole' days'

I would imagine this £27 mill deal would probably include all sorts of other contracts...Sportswear, phone networks, etc etc etc.....I bet he has been asked to front many ad campaigns

Well, if someone was paying me that much I think I'd let them talk to me through the bends

Nonononono...He didn't need any help to get 'round that bend'..

.Unfortunately another **bleep** up by the Mercedes team on Sunday...that conversation was not intended for Lewis at all...Someone pressed the wrong switch. Like someone decided to change the perfectly adequate tyres far too soon .....costing him first place...Twozzas...
