I didn't see this thread. Otherwise I would have responded earlier.

I have heard of Lewis Hamilton and read about him some months earlier. He seems like a quick driver, but I don't think he will join Mclaren in '07. I read that Ron Dennis supposedly scoffed at putting him in a race seat next year because he doesn't want a slew of marketing plans based around the colour of Hamilton's skin. Talented or not, Hamilton racing in F1 will be viewed as a publicity stunt for a sport that lost its biggest sponsors, tobacco.

Bruno Senna, Ayrton's super talented nephew, looks like he'll go to GP2 next season. Gerhard Berger is helping Bruno out. It will be great to see the young man resurrect the family name in F1.
