Hamilton to RBR...how likely?

[Timsky]

Plenty of speculation that Hamilton will leave Mclaren at the end of this season (out of contract as is Webber) for RBR. How likely is this possible?

I think Hamilton will race his entire career for Mclaren. But if he does leave for RBR, complete dog act. Mclaren have invested so much time into Hamilton, for him to only leave when it gets difficult. Which for me shows a difference between and champion and a legend.

the ammount of blind faith the team has put into him to the point of his team principal apologizing his actions almost every time after a race wether is a stewards issue... a bad maneouver (where its is fault)... depression issues... the only way he can leave is by being a selfish ass or thinking he re payed all that was invested in him... that balance is not even by a long shot hahaha. maybe Buemi for RBR no? maybe LH is milking the last cent for his contract delaying this to the point of these kind of assumptions ¿?

Mclaren haven't delivered the car since 2008, really. They've started badly each season since then. F-duct was a high point in development but mostly they've been out-designed by others. Leaving in 2013 wouldn't be jumping ship at the first sign of trouble.

RBR won't shell out the cash that Hamilton demands...They'll just go with Vergne or someone else on the cheap.

Mclaren gave the great Ayrton Senna a championship winning car in 1988 but a few years later as soon as the Williams-Renault started to become a force he wanted to jump ship. Of course we all know he joined in 1994 eventually but he wanted to be in a Williams Renault since the later part of 1991.

Same damn thing but Hamilton is gonna get shit for it, hmmm. Personally though I don't want to see him in Red Bull at all as they're not a real F1 racing team. Soon as they stop becoming a winning team they will just leave F1 and move to Nascar or something.

Hamilton in a winning Ferrari would be great for F1, not won't happen with Nando in the team though.

My dream would be Williams to become title winners again and bring Volkswagen engines to the sport with Lewis as team leader
