Ok so as we know Lewis still hasnt signed a new contract with Merc yet.
What are your guys opinions:
What do we think is holding it up.
Is there a move being weighed up.
where do you think he should go?
I have no idea what is holding it up there maybe reasons out there on the web but i havent really been searching. Dont really see where else he can go to be honest it wont be Mclaren or Ferrari (tho there was some love for Ferrari during the BBC duet interview with Seb). My reasons behind this are that he made a small dig in a previous interview when talking about having a No 1 driver clause in the contract to which he replied that he has never ever asked for a No 1 status unlike some of the guys like Alonso and Vettel. So if we are to assume he aint talking bull he wont be going to either of them.
Personally in an ideal world id love it if he went to Williams (assuming they had a car that could win) and bring them back. I do think he yearns for a drive at Ferrari ... he would love to have the Tifosi passion backing him.
Hamilton Contract Talks

For me, hamilton ferrari doesnt fit. Hamiltons a win with honour type.driver. Very british attitude etc. Whereas you get the impression ferrari are dodgy, the villains if u like. Mclaren, merc and williams are hamilton fits For me if they have the cars.

I doubt that you will find anything other than rumours on the web as confidentiality clauses will stop either side being able to discuss much publicly.
Now that there is a 3 week break from racing I suspect that the contract could be signed before the Spanish GP.
I would also like to see Hamilton in a Williams but can't see it happening due to finances. Mercedes is the best place for him for the foreseeable future.

Exactly. He is too honest and straightforward a character for Ferrari.
I think they are sorting out appearance bonuses etc. He has to think about his future. No longer a spring chicken so he needs to make sure he's got the best deal for himself

Nico must be wishing he does not sign another contract

I can see hamilton at Ferrari in a few years. Vettel & hamilton as team mates would be good, better then Alonslow & hamilton.

I think Ferrari will want him whether they get him is another question.
The tifosi are already agitating for his signature. Commercially his value is immense as well to the brand.

The thing is I think there is a respect for ferrari with Lewis .. not a love but defo a respect and curiosity, seen it in the interiew on BBC with Vettel him talking about him being happy to see such massive institution making some sorta comeback. And personally i think above all the honour and stuff that people have mentioned Lewis is WINNER first and foremost the rest of his qualities all fall behind that. So to me firstly if Vettel has his no 1 driver clause removed or isnt at Ferrari and of course ferrari have a quick car then its defo a goer as far as im concerned however common sense tells you that this is only a possibility if he cant agree a deal with Merc.
