UpdateF1 >> Formula 1 News > Hamilton to jump ship?

How do these rumors even exist is beyond me, but would be interesting to see how this turnouts.

Hamilton boy, dont become another Jenson Button.

I don't think it will happen ever. Mclaren have supported him throughout his career and why would he leave such a good team with whom he grew up. These are just silly rumors.

payam · 30th May 2007, 15:55

no way,i hope these are only rumors

sammyboy · 30th May 2007, 16:15

lol so who is gonna get the boot ,Massa or Kimi ? Just kiddin , I hope its a rumor too

GTO · 30th May 2007, 16:27

Rubbish! With such a splendid start, what he needs is stability. These are just that....rumours.

iraghava · 30th May 2007, 16:30

Well I read today morning that he was furious at the team orders telling him not to challenge Alphonso and that he was not listening to the team & Ron Dennis himself had to step in & tell him to back off. So the news might be true but I too think this would be nothing but rumors, it's warly days for Hamilton yet.

On a related note FIA is investigating the McLaren team for team orders which are banned in F1 after the famous Barrichello-Michael incident. Infact McLaren were the team opposing this kind of behaviour the most at that point of time. If the allegations are found true they could be banned from the sport.

Its absolute Rubbish..they are just midway through the season and Hamilton is doing a great job as a rookie..May be Hamilton is not happy being second fiddle in the McLaren team well he has to come the hard way in the circuit.. He will be a second fiddle in any other good team..

RacingForIndia · 30th May 2007, 16:36

In F1 dont expect any loyalty. Did you guys forgot about Buttongate so soon.
This is the piranha club, everyone is out to eat everyone. It at all the rumors ar true, then Hamilton will rue the day he joins Ferrari. (yeah right). ;-)

Nice rumour, but came too early!
After all, the season has just kicked off!

BTW, what is happening to the Blue eyed boy 'Kimi', he was supposed to the heir apparent to Schumi!

I dont think the rumour is aimed at Hamilton.

Perhaps its a message to Mr. Kimi to live up to expectations. It may be just a rumour, but it carries a message.

Right!

Or,

A message to McLaren bosses that it's dangerous to expect the rookie to play a second fiddle to Alonso.

Mr. Kimi is famous for breaking his cars in almost all new ways if Ferrari kicks him out he wont find place in F1 except backrow teams from where did he began his career

You mean by the Hamiltons?
An insider told me that though Papa Hamilton put on a brave face to the media, he is the one who is instigating these rumours. This in itself could be another rumor.

I think Hamilton will stay around for some more years with McLaren.
Regarding Kimi don't worry there will be plenty of teams waiting to grab him IF and thats a big IF Ferrari lets him go.
