Loyalty has its limits, Hamilton warns
Loyalty has its limits, Hamilton warns - GPUpdate.net
Lewis Hamilton has hinted that he will leave McLaren if he is not provided with a championship-winning car. The 2008 title winner is yet to clinch a Grand Prix victory since doing so in Belgium last August, but this year has continued to deny rumours linking him to Red Bull.
“I have got only a short period in Formula 1 and I want to be competitive,” he is quoted as saying by The Guardian. “I want to win championships. If you're in a good enough place and you're happy then there's no need to go anywhere, but loyalty has its limits.”
When asked if he is pulled towards the idea of remaining with a sole outfit, Hamilton replied: “Not really. I don't think there is any attraction to it whatsoever.”
He added that reigning Champions Red Bull are constantly improving. “They're better this year,” Hamilton continued. “They're just getting better. The car is the quickest so now they can focus on other areas. Their pit-stops are the fastest. They're in and out ... boom...it's like clockwork.”

Lewis is always pressing.
He was clearly frustrated during Practice 2 with the tire situation.
I have noticed that Vettel is all business this year - especially on the radio - and does not get emotional.
I wish Lewis would take some cues from Seb.
