Default Lewis Hamilton has been promised this if he wins the title....

Ron Dennis has said that if Lewis wins the tile this year he can have the F1 that they have in there museum.

Lewis is said to have loved this car when growing up.....



Just hope he doesnt let his old man drive it

Comedy

He might just have a little off.

Sadly I really dont think Lewis will win the Championship this year.

He still has a bit of learning to do and the car, is just a tad off the pace of the ferrari.

I hope he does win, but I just feel he will get pipped again, being frustrated and making mistakes like driving into the back of another car in the pits...lol

Fingers crossed for him, though I feel a ferrari Pip.

ive only ever seen one on the road too, a black one at a service station somewhere around oxford a few years ago...

then low and behold, mr. fuckiing bean only goes and gets in the driving seat

i thought he had a mini?


anyway, apparently a few weeks after that, he binned it

not sure how true that last part is.

very cool cars!

the exhaust system alone cost 40k to make, and the tool kit you get in the car is gold plated. not much use tho, as they do seem to break down a lot i heard

The F1 can link via web directly to Mclaren, and self diagnose any faults in the event of a breakdown...
